Ok, first, like many other foreign car companies, they are very sneaky about recalls. They don't do them. They hope you bring your car in for a "quick" oil change, they tell you they need the car for the day--to do an oil change- and then they fix what the recall is, without your knowledge. I have seen it before, and I don't think this is the better way. I would personally like to know what any problems are arising out of the car I am driving. If I need to get the car in on a recall, I might think about getting it there a little sooner if it means I might be stuck in the middle of nowhere.
Secondly, do you really believe everything the salesman tells you when you buy a car from him? I can tell you that there is no way in hell your going to get 10k for a 2 year old Accent. In your dreams. That car depreciates faster than a Catholic school girl on a Saturday night. When you drive that car, do it with the windows open and a fistfull of cash in your hand, constantly letting the money fly out the window. That's what you did buying a Hyundai.
They might be cheaper brakes, but let see the difference in how often you change your brakes. Twice as much you say? That's really not a savings then, is it.
And the mini----------the new one is definately a POS-------no comment on the old.
