Hello ,

Probably you are right , i dont know yet about acc. Is brand new (1000 miles) and i am not push it at all . That i can say , is about fuel consumption , is verry low for the type of car . Almost 7lt/100Km , average .

I hope to have choose a good Car after my Accent 2002 model .

..We 'll see about this in the future .!!!

Have a nice Day ....

Ps. In Greece we have also ....
Greek salad , Tzatziki , Gyros soyvlaki , Greek mousaka etc.

Not only souvlaki ..

In Turkey i think they call it kebap which is also delicius like ours .

Geia Sas! Welcome!

I've been to Athens and miss it very much. Crazy drivers they have there! Always parking ON the sidewalks. Greece has very friendly people too. Enjoy your new Elantra :)

[JYAPGR]

Thank again 4 ur greetings ,


Yes here the things are a little bit loose, crazy drivers, continue issues with the traffic police, many tickets etc.

But that we have , generally speaking , is much of sun and a lot of sea .

We do not have many moded car in Greece , there is some exceptions but not many We have the brains but not the parts to create the perfect car !.


Most of the people in Greece love to go 4 a coffee you know "frape" and after hours to a nice tavern or drink .


Thats all .

Talking about Hyundai , a good friend of me working as a technical supervisor in central hyundai offices in Greece so he convince me to buy the elantra .

Until now the car is stock .

P.S. some words ..

Eyxaristo (Thanks )

Kalimera (Good Morning)

Ta leme ( C u soon)

Geia ( Bye)
