The temperature gauge in my 99 Camry sure acts like a fake analog gauge.
I've never had a gauge that was so rock steady. That's OK, it would
probably cause me worry if moved all over the place like real gauges do.
Thanks for the low down.

Sorry Hyundai lovers, but the South Koreans are NOT Japanese when it
comes to auto manufacturing.
And another 'sorry' -- that I foolishly BOUGHT an Accent a few months
ago! As an economy car, short trips.
$14,000 ... !
Cash back? Forget it.
Four-door. Tight squeeze for three-and-one-half persons.
Corners like your wagon that you pulled when you were six!
Noise? Over 30 mph it sounds as if there's a big hole in the floor.
No in-dash temperature gauge -- and no explanation why from Hyundai
headquarters or the dealer.
Engine warms up -- but only after 12-to-14 minutes idling.
Gets about 26 mpg highway, 8- to 9-mpg less than advertised.
Handling, ease, engine ambiance -- make me think this devil will start
to give up after 30- 35,000 miles, if that!
DON'T SAY YOU WEREN'T WARNED!

Accent I don't know, but my Kia Spectra (Hyundai Elantra)
is probably the best all around car I have ever owned or driven.
And I have owned or rented many different cars, hundreds,
from Corvettes to Corollas.

So you never put your fat ass into one in the showroom? I found that out
in three seconds. OK car for some of the younger crowd, but I'm very happy
with my second Sonata. I'm thinking of adding an Elantra.
You made the decision and you should have seen the fit problem up front.
