Re: Front wheel bearing fails. [carfreak09]
Hi carfreak09, good to hear from you, I remember your posts from 2000 when my Accent was a new car. Good luck with your 2010, I hope you enjoy it for a good long time. My odometer just flipped over to 140,000 miles. Who would have thought that a Hyundai would last so long? I replaced my spark plug wires at around 100,000 miles due to deterioration from being oily. The ... Read More

2000 hyundai accent
ok. The transmission fluid is pooling on top of the transmission. It's having a hard time going into gear and sounds like it will rev up and up and up and not switch gears until there is a really hard shift. Fluid is not burnt. Finally drove it on the highway about 40 miles and it jerked really bad and was making loud noises. I had it towed home. Does anybody ... Read More

Re: College student buying first car...Hyundai? [windgrace]
I've owned 3 Hyundais over the past 10-1/2 years: 2001 Elantra (sister owns it now), 2004 Elantra (still have it), and 2007 Sonata (wife's car). Note the two Elantras are two generations removed from the current car, and the Sonata is the prior generation. Even though Hyundais have improved with each new generation, these cars have been very reliable. I felt I was taking a chance on the 2001 Elantra back ... Read More

2010 Accent GS auto with premium pack
Holler Hyundai in Winter Park, Florida sold me this car for $13888, plus $599 dealer processing fee before taxes were added and rebates subtracted with no haggling. This price was about $400 below invoice with the dealer fee added. OTD cost was $13862 after $2000 rebate. I was very impressed with this dealer advertising such a low price right from the start with no gimmicks about down payment or military or ... Read More

New 2010 GS owner
Hey everyone, I just purchased a 2010 Accent GS auto with the premium package last night. It was the only '10 model left with the premium package in my area so my color choice was unfortunately slim and I ended up with Nordic white. Normally, I hate white cars, but I must admit it looks pretty good on this car, almost like a cream white and it makes the chrome accents ... Read More

Re: 2009 Accent GS OTD price - $11700 [tamoshanter]
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 ... Read More

Re: 2000 Hyundai Accent GL Starting Issues [jcw3]
Sounds like either your Crank Positioning Sensor or your Cam Shaft Sensor... Both can come at a hefty price, I'd try the CPS first. Sometimes, the part will come with the manual to put it in - it's rather easy to do. Eventually, if it is the CPS or the CSS, your car won't start anymore. It'll continue to crank but won't fire. Good luck!

Re: 2000 Hyundai accent ecu fuse 1 [hyundai911]
I had the same problem with a 95. My problem began when the heat shield for the manifold fell and melted some wires that are controlled my the ECU. Another place to look is the rear oxygen sensor. There is a plastic bracket holding the wires in place. If this breaks, the wires will drop and rest against the right axel. This will wear the protection sleeve away and expose the ... Read More

2000 Hyundai Accent GL Starting Issues
Lately I've been having starting issues with my 2000 Hyundai Accent GL which always turns over on the first crank. One particular day last week, it started up right away until I shut the engine off at one of my routine stops for the day. Car would not start. Waited about 15 minutes and tried again before it finally turned over like it normally does on the first try. Brought it ... Read More

I Have Both A Versa and A Fit, and If I Could Only Have One...
it would be the Versa or a 2009 Fit. The current 2008 Fit isn't in that list because the current model, which was introduced in Asia around 2000 if I recollect correctly, suffers from being a little too small and twitchy on the highway. It's a true "B" car (size category = mini, not compact) and suffers from some of the B car shortcomings, like not dealing with the freeway well. ... Read More

Engine Sputtering
About two days ago, the engine on my 2000 Hyundai Accent started sputtering at low rpms (below 2,000 rpm) when driving and I had to downshift to get rid of the sputtering. But when I revved the engine on neutral, there was no sputtering. This had happened in the past during cold temperatures and it only happened here again this winter when the temperature fell to about -10 C for the ... Read More

Re: wife's 08 Accent [litesong1]
I own three hyundais. 2 Accents (2002 and 2005) and a new Entourage (2007). Great value cars. The 2002 had engine warranty work done at 85,000 miles and they only charged me $15 on a $2000 bill. MPG may be a bit lower than a Vibe, Yaris or Fit but it would take years to recoup the difference. My five speed gets a solid 32 - 37 mpg depending on city/highway ... Read More

Re: Hyundai Accent: Prices Paid & Buying Experience [bwctaccent]
I'd be careful! I had a 2000 Elantra wagon that I got rid of after 60,000 miles and 4 transmissions. Yes, 4 of them! It kept blowing sensors which would cause it to shut down on the interstate or wherever I was and the fix for the bad sensor was another transmission. They even replaced the master computer once! Another thing I learned, they don't give you new transmissions. Hyundai uses ... Read More

You don't even seem to understand the basic premise of purchasing power so I won't even bother going into it at length. Do you actually think owners of a $10K new car care much about purchasing power in the first place? I don't. Many times the money you saved by paying less than the competition upfront would far makeup for the difference later. You seem confused. Edmunds calculates residual value by ... Read More

Re: hyundai resale value? [jrtny04]
IMO it's due to the strong brand equity Honda and Toyota have compared to Hyundai, and HonYota's reputation for long-term reliability. And there is a difference in purchase price between HonYotas and comparable Hyundais. For example, there is a couple thousand dollars difference bewteen the Accent and Fit or Yaris now, including rebates but not including dealer discounts. Discounts are hard to come by on Fits, but not on Accents. So ... Read More

Re: backy, is the new 2007 Hyundai Elantra [germancarfan1]
The MSRP of a well-equipped 2007 Elantra may very well be $16k (note the MSRP of a stick Civic, Corolla, or Mazda3 with power package and full safety gear is $17k+). But that Elantra won't cost me $16k, unless I insist on buying one when the car first debuts. There will undoubtedly be rebates and discounts available that will bring the price down $2000 or more, based on recent history with ... Read More

Hyundai has a fan base.
This is a very entertaining forum. Wish I could chip in my 2 cents about a Hyundai, but I haven't driven one since 2000; that Accent was inferior to the other cars we test drove. (Protege, Echo).

However, Phil Edmonston, who writes Lemon Aid, my bible to buying used. loves the steadily improving Hyundais, great ... Read More

Re: Original warranty on 01 & 02 Accents [wgreen]
First, thanks for the reply, Ingtonge18. It helped a lot. I know that the 5 year, 60,000 mile warranty transfers to different owners with a Hyundai. My 2000 Hyundai had the warranty active until recently, when I crossed 60,000 miles. A 2001 or 2002 Hyundai would still have at least a year left on the warranty, providing it has less than 60,000 miles on it. This doesn't cover the normal wear ... Read More

Re: Gas Mileage Question! [robert4380 #1160]
The way I understand is the Automatic has taller final drive gearing then the Manual. The trade off is slower accelleration over a manual trans. Hyundai probably chose the gear ratios in the manual more for performance then for economy there is always a tradeoff with this. Autos are also more efficient now then they have been in tha past. The auto in the Accent is a 4 speed with overdrive ... Read More

Backy, thanks for the explanation. However, I am still curious as to why you find the Sentra's handling "sloppy". I would certainly agree with you that back seat room in the Sentra clearly reveals its late 90s design (introduced in Spring 2000 as a 2000). Also, the Sentra has quite possibly the most absurd excuse for a cupholder that Ive ever seen. I drove the Aerio upon its introduction, when it ... Read More

The Accent is a very solid reliable little car. Part of the reason is its simplistic design. I bought a 2000 Accent new (a first year design) and only encountered 3 problems and no recalls. 2 of the problems were fixed under warranty but the 3rd (an intermittent rare failure of the horn) seems to be an electrical mystery. My water pump bearing was making noise so the pump was replaced ... Read More

Cheap, no frills, and seems to be reliable.

There is no cd player installation kit currently available for the 2000-newer Accents.

My biggest grinding problem is with 3rd gear, but first gear is sometimes reluctant to engage. The ... Read More

The tranny problem you describe does not sound right. The other problems aren't that big of a deal and occur in all cars, not just Hyundai.

Warped rotors are a common problem on all cars, including ... Read More

And the U.S. Hyundai Sales website mentions none of those options, so it's safe to say we won't be getting them. The sales website does list factoids for Hyundai salespersons in the U.S. to tout to U.S. customers. Improvements are engine, emissions, and 14" wheels. (All for the U.S. specifically.) And the U.S. ... Read More

news and comment
Allrighty then! I'm back from my honeymoon and I turned the '97 over 100K this week. I got it to pass inspection even without changing the airbags. I bought two tires (correct size 175/70R13) for the front and also got the windshield and passenger window replaced. Now the only problems that remain are the obvious body damage, the broken driver's outside door handle, the missing back seat, and the missing passenger ... Read More

honda719b and new XG300
I totally agree about the GSi model. I wish they offered that car here, because I would trade up in a heartbeat. They used to offer it here, but it was discontinued for the 2000 model year when the redesigned Accent came out. It's a shame because there are still some people out there who enjoy souped up hatchbacks. The 14" alloy wheels, fog lamps, spoiler, and side sill extensions do ... Read More

back from long trip
Hey everyone, I just got back from a very long trip and really wracked up some miles on my '00 Accent, now at 11,100. I put about 2000 miles on her in just one week; most of that mileage was accumulated in just one day (drove from West Palm Beach, Fl to New Orleans). I was very impressed with the front seats. They kept me comfortable even though I was stuck ... Read More

you don't get it
I have owned 38 cars. Of those, 3 didn't run when I bought them and never did until after I sold them to someone who was willing to do the necessary repairs. 3 of them I wrecked. 9 of them I broke all by myself and didn't fix before selling. 2 got reposessed. And 2 I still have. The other 19 cars ran fine when I sold them and I either ... Read More

Filter in Accent air plenum...
There are so many good design ideas with the 2000 Accent. But I think I have found a problem. The Hyundai engineers were concerned with keeping the air circulating within the car clean, and have placed an air filter between the blower and air conditioning plenum. The filter is replaceable, and slides forward from the housing after removing the glove compartment and glove compartment support bracket. The filter appears to be ... Read More

2000 Accent GS Automatic
In June of 2000, I purchased a Retro Red Accent GS. To date the vehicle now has 3,500 miles on it and I have had little problems. I do have one concern that Im wondering if anyone can help shed some light on for me. I drive my Hyundai about 65miles per day too and from work. I have to travel a major highway where the speed limit is 75mph. After ... Read More

stereo
OK... i looked at the tape player today and it is the way i thought it was and i don't see how to pull the cover off of the thing (those with 2000/2001 accents should know what it looks like). Does anybody know how to do this? I don't feel like dishing out $600 for a fuckin' hyundai stereo...

The only difference between the 2000 and 2001 is the GS and GL models get a larger 1.6 liter DOHC 16 valve four cylinder with 105 horsepower, instead of the 1.5 SOHC 12 valve four with 92 horses. The bigger engine should be a welcome improvement to a great basic car. It now has almost the same amount of power as the 2000 Civic, and yet it weighs a few hundred ... Read More

What's new for 2001?
I've put a deposit on a stock Hyundai Accent GS 2001. I'm guessing there are some differences between the 2000 and 2001's. Could someone please tell me what they are?

question about a hose
I was doing an underhood check of my 2000 Accent and noticed something odd. Everything looks new and black in color except for one hose. It is a vacuum hose that goes from the intake to the brake booster. What's so odd about the hose is that it has turned brown in color as if the hose was burned, and it is bulged in a few areas. The hose is also ... Read More

Stay away from the ECHO
The ECHO tends to get blown around in moderate winds. I think this is because it is so short and tall. My 99 Accent sedan is solid as a rock on the highway even with high winds. I paid 10,870 out the door for my 99 last September. This is a sedan with AC, automatic, mud guards and carpet mats. This was one of the most EXPENSIVE Accents too! This price ... Read More

The aldag Accent update...
I now have over 5000 miles on the 2000 Accent. I am enjoying everyone's comments here, very informative. I drove up to the casino this weekend, the AC was off, mostly flat highway driving...the results are 238 miles using slightly under 6 gallons of gas (premium). I looked at the Ford Focus before buying this car, but felt it was in a completely different category. Here's why...the dealer wasn't willing to ... Read More

More Accent Observations...
I now have over 4000 miles on my 2000 Accent, so far, so good. Yes, there was a burning smell during about the first two weeks or so, but I have experienced this smell with other new cars and it goes away in a short period of time. I attribute it to labels and/or grease, or paint, or undercoat on exhaust components which burns away. The brakes work fine on this ... Read More

my take on accent hb
the brakes may need to seat themselves if brand new, this will naturally occur after a few hundred miles. sounds like some service schlepp wasn't too careful topping off the oil and spilled some. I have the auto, so not much i can tell you about the stick shift. Overall, I am extemely satisifed with the Accent HB, (18,000 miles on a 2000 so far) almost went with a Focus but ... Read More

Would like advice.
Hi all. I've read all the posts to this forum, and here's my situation: I need a car. I have approximately $11,000 to spend, and I'm considering the Accent, Echo, and a used Civic. I've test-driven the Accent and like everything about it--the feel, the gas mileage, and especially the cost. However, I'm concerned about safety and resale. My main concern is safety--I've checked ConsumerReports and NHTSA, and both only have ... Read More

A good deal from Hyundai...
I bought my 2000 Accent Hatchback in February after my eight year old Dodge Shadow was totaled during a snowstorm by a maniac in a Honda Odyssey. The hatchback Accent reminded me very much of my Shadow, and so gave me a feeling of continuity. I now have about 4000 miles on the car with no problems so far. It makes a very interesting sound as the engine revs up, almost ... Read More

cool, post #100!
Well, I have a few things to post regarding my 2000 Accent. First, I really like how the gas light and gauge is very acccurate. The light flickered for a sec today and it took 10 gallons to fill her up, just 1.9 gal from empty. My Mom's Accord, on the other hand, turns its gas light on and reads dead empty when she still has 4-5 gal left! I find ... Read More

I have the 2000 Accent with the manual tranny. It is a bit notchy shifting, but you get used to it after a few days. It's really not that bad, just not the greatest shifter around either. It actually shifts quite good when it is cold, but first and third get a bit tougher once the car has warmed up fully. Make sure you depress the clutch fully before trying to ... Read More

Try Progressive
I have Progressive Insurance and live in Florida I have $500 deductible $20,000 too. Costs me $580 a year for my 99 Accent sedan. I'm an old fart though. I love my 99 Accent. I spend 4 hours a day in it and I am comfortable. Put 23,000 miles on it since I bought it last September. No defects, no problems. I bought a 99 Elantra sedan for my wife last ... Read More

Okay, i'm done trying to figure out what your username might mean...

Hey, I'm a 20 year old male and have a 2000 Accent. I think its a great car and is very comfortable and quiet for its price. It also is a nice looking car. I got the base L hatchback with the only option being A/C. I think thats the way you should go. I drove the Sephia but was not impressed with its quality as much as I was with ... Read More

Accent! Love or Hate?
All right Everyone, Bought new Accent 3 Door hatch back in February. Beautiful to look and and beautiful to drive. Found it to be incredibly smooth and no noise from it. Took it through the suggested break in period and was quite surprised to see how well the Accent will perform on the motorway, higher speeds and still and smooth quiet ride. Cabin is great too although I feel the dash ... Read More

Driving is believing!...
Well, I am the proud and happy owner of a new 2000 Accent L hatchback. The only option on the car was A/C. Don't even bother asking what I paid for the car, cause I know I paid way too much for it. But the dealer was the first one that could finance me without a cosignor. Considering I have no car credit and am a 20 yr old college student, ... Read More

To buy or not ?????
Help, I am considering buying a 2000 Accent Gs for my 16 year old daughter. I like the cheap price and the warranty but is this car dependable. I don't see any comments from anyone that has a 2000. Also I have never owned a Hyundai. Do they need the 100,000 warranty? Will my daughter be safe in one. I think they are cute. She wants a standard for more get-up ... Read More

I have a 97 accent. I don't know why but I really like this car. It's pretty much only a commuter car for me now. I also have a 2000 mustang. When I bought the mustang I was going to sell my Hyundai. But partly because the resale value was so low and, I didn't want to put so many commuter miles on my New mustang, I decided to keep the ... Read More

If somebody wants to buy a 99 accent,wait until september. 2000 accent will be sold in september. You can check 2000 accent in hyundai website (www.hmc.co.kr). Check "Verna". Basically, that's the car which will be sold in U.S.A with "accent" name in 2000. Looks very good,the powertrain is old one though.
