My first car was a 1995 Hyundai Accent my dad bought from a friend for $800. The best thing about it was it was purple. People at work and school knew it was me because I was the only person with a little purple car.
The most annoying thing about owning that car was that the door handles would freeze during the Chicagoland winter. Iโd go out to warm it up before school and ever so gently try to open the door. If I tugged too hard on it, the thin piece of plastic connecting the handle to the metal bar and latch mechanism would break. I changed driver and passenger side handles maybe 7 times while having that car. For a short time I was waiting on replacement door handles for both sides to arrive and I had to crawl in through the hatchback to get into the car. Good times
Same issue with my 2-door '93 Buick. It had the vertical door handles and I snapped a few of them clean off in wonderful Minnesota winter.
