Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Excellent warranty, low price, nicely appointed interior, standard side airbags, solid build quality, smooth ride.

Cons

Weak tires, low handling limits, buzzy engine.

What’s new

Trim levels are revised and ABS is finally available.

Edmunds says

A decent buy for those determined to own a brand-new car with full-warranty coverage, though we'd encourage prospective owners to shop the used car market before closing the deal.

2005 Hyundai Accent GT 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 5M)

It's not the fastest, or most impressive car. But it's fun to drive and the mileage is amazing!

This car just keeps going

2005 Hyundai Accent GLS 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 5M)

I bought this car out of desperation when my old car died. I was looking for anything when I went to a dealer who pushed it on me more or less. I felt I paid a little too much but whatever. I bought it 6 1/2 years ago with 13,000 miles on it. Today I'm at 200,000 and the only problem I have had is the timing chain went out (my fault since I should have changed it). It is hands down THE …

I so love my little car!

2005 Hyundai Accent GT 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 4A)

I bought my car used in 2007 w/ 25K miles on it after owning an Excel, it's older sister. There was one major issue it had immediately after purchase (speed sensors went out - totally covered by warranty). Heard it's good to change timing belt before 100K so had a full $500 tune-up done then and have never had an issue in the now 5 years I've had it & only done routine oil changes …

Awesome car. Great mpg AND fun to drive!

2005 Hyundai Accent GLS 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 5M)

I'm 17 and this was my first car. Being a teen, I don't make a lot of money, but thats ok since this baby gets great mpg. On average I get about 33 mpg. Plus the car itself is really fun to drive. The car is extremely nimble. With my aggressive driving habits, I find myself weaving through highway traffic with ease.
