I never put 1$ in this car maintenance from the time I bought it (125.000 km) until now 200.000 . The mechanic recommended to change the timing belt set so I changed it. Next car will be definetly either a Hyundai Accent or a Hyundai Elantra GT.
On the other side it is not good on gas 1,6 engine and 16 valves automatic gearbox, I was expecting it to be around 10L/100 km, it was 12,5 - 13L/100 in the city. Highway it is good on gas. All and all maintenance costs : 0 , never broke down . I bought it with 5000$ and I expect it to hold for 5 years without major repairs ( engine , gearbox ).
