I'm picking one up this week, if the snow doesn't stop me.
I haven't seen too much regarding Accents on the boards ,so I guess I'll be one of the first. I don't have a LOT of resources, but I can get innovative w/ materials.
Anybody have any previous experience? Anything been tried and failed?
I just got the Accent into my garage for the first time. I'm moving from a '92 Camaro RS to an economy car. I didn't plan to right now, but my fuel pump went and my 27 mile one way commute hasn't done the Camaro any good. At least it's going to a good home. A 14 year-old kid and his father are going to take 2 years to bring it back for the kid's 16th b-day. I'm glad it'll be a father-son project. I couldn't ask for a
better reason to let it go.
Traffic's a problem in my commute. I've fought w/enough clutch pedals in my time. I'll give up 1 mpg for some convenience. My windows are manual, so I've eliminated that weight. I don't have cruise, so I'll stay a little more connected to the acceleration. I'll be fine. Best mpg in the Camaro was 24.something, so I already have that beat. I don't plan to go nuts.
I used to have 01 accent hatchback fun to drive steered with one finger shiftted with one finger did alignments every two weeks grrrr no tilt wheel (bummer) in the summer got 40ish mpgs in city
actually my first and only car that broke 40mpg barrier.
