daewoo are not that bad, and the hyundai have come on a long way..
in 2001 i worke for a hire car firm, we had lots of the accent in auto, most yanks wanted these as they were auto and of course the cheapest class, they went for ever and never gave trouble despite the abuse they suffered,
also for the value in the accent , you got 4 electric windows, central locking, sunroof, and a cd palyer,,
they also have bolt on hub caps,, which can never be lost or stolen..
mechanically not bad to work on and parts not expensive,, also plenty in the breakers yards for spares too,,
daewoo lanaos engine is bascially a opel .14 astra engine,,,,
