Please let me know where you went in Richmond, VA. I'm in northeast OH, but willing to drive within a day's drive to get a decent price. I was looking at buying a 2009 Hyundai Accent after 7/23 with the CARS program, but of course the dealer had a great deal this week! I'm 5'1" and I just love our 1997 Accent. I started out at the dealership looking for a 4-door auto Accent. ... Read More...

I shut it off turned it back on and it was fine. Then also little bit later I was going from a stop and its like it would rev up but ... Read More...

Honda Fit v. Hyundai Accent

Finally got to TEST DRIVE THE FIT!!!

Written by: accentuate on Nov 01, 2006 09:07 PM

I finally got to test drive the Blue honda fit (not the sport) and there were some things I like and some things I don't. But I want to point out that this is a Honda Fit Vs. Hyundai Accent thread. I currently own a Hyundai Accent and I will try and be as non-bias as possible. The Honda Fit, by far, is the most spacious small car I have ever been in. The "Magic" seats aren't ... Read More...

Sometimes the fingers work faster than the brain. :) If you find any of those dash separations for the 1997 Accent (a totally different design than the '97 Sephia), feel free to post them in the "old" Accent discussion. Read More...

I kind of doubt your 1997 Kia Rio had that problem. Because there is no such thing as a 1997 Kia Rio. I searched on "1997 Accent dash" and scrolled through the first 10 pages before giving up. I found no mentions of any kind of dash-detaching problem in those pages. Maybe you could post a link or two in the discussion related to the Accent of that vintage. Read More...

"Don't let your perception and everything you read fool you Check out the real story yourself..." I guess having a 1997 Kia RIO where the dash completing detached itself while driving isn't "real" enough. Do a Google search and read many "satisfied" customers who had similar experiences with both the RIO and Accent of that year. Read More...

Hyundai Accent Hatchbacks

I love my Accent

Written by: good4u on Feb 20, 2006 05:31 PM

I have a 2000 Hyundai Accent/automatic transmission/4 door. Bought it from a small dealership in town in May of 2004 with 40K. Has about 65K on it right now. Not one single problem. It shakes a little like any little car, but it is more reliable than any of our American-made cars. It's fun to drive, and it sounds "mean" when you accelerate really fast. Gas mileage ...

I was interested in purchasing a 1997 Accent for 2500 and I was wondering if that is a good bargain. Also the life span of the car and if they face major mechanical problems. Read More...
