Nice review Highway Star, being a fellow accent owner I agree with your observations.

Mine is May 2003 1500 CC model and has just done 50000 kms on its odo last week. My love and respect for my car is increasing day by day and random thoughts of selling it off are blown away the moment I get into its drivers seat. Be it city traffic or highway or a unpaved village road its drive is fantastic, handles all kind of roads with easy. Only problem has been its low ground clearance but thats not a deterrent on rough roads.

I have taken it on all kinds of roads and abused it a lot. During highway driving most of the times I just pull my leg of the throttle pad and let it pass over the speed breakers that are encountered while I am cruising at a speed of 100km/hr. Still no squeaks after 6 years of abuse.

Forget about any major break downs there are absolutely no niggles (touchwood) I have faced. Its a very under rated car from an enthusiasts point of view but on its own it has been making its point silently through the sales figures.
