Repair Manuals
Does anyone know if anyone besides Hyundai publishes repair manuals or CD Roms for a 2007 Hyundai Accent SE? I have a set of Hyundai shop manuals and I was just wondering if perhaps Chilton, Haynes, Etc. had manuals

Re: 2012 GLS test drive [phill1]
My current mix of cars are a 2008 Mazda MX-5 (Miata) PRHT, a 2007 Honda CRV, and the 2006 Honda Civic. The only car that I might consider to replace the MX-5 is the upcoming Veloster. It has the same 1.6L GDI engine as the 2012 Accent/Rio so it should be spunky enough and a turbo version is lurking down the road. But that's another story. My first priority is to ... Read More

2008 Hyundai Accent compared to a 2007
Does anyone know if there were any changes or improvements made to a 2008 Hyundai Accent from a 2007 model?

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

Re: boo hiss [carfreak09]
The Accent 3 door has probably the best styling in its class. I currently own a 2007 Accent SE which has four wheel disc brakes with ABS and EBD. It's a great little car BUT the only reason I have it is because back in '07 Hyundai dropped the 5 door Elantra (what I had before it was totaled). I never cared for the styling of the Rio 5. I've always ... Read More

Re: boo hiss [carfreak09]
Most Kias are a sales flop, relatively speaking. ;) When was the last time you saw an ad for the Rio5? I've never seen one in the history of the current generation, going back five years. I really don't remember how the ZX5 "flopped" compared to the ZX3. Maybe where you live, there are lots of young, single people who prefer 3-door hatches? Where I live, in the family-oriented Midwest, I ... Read More

Re: boo hiss [carfreak09]
Let's look at this from a practical POV... if Hyundai could sell 5,000 Accent 3-door hatches in the USA per month, it would be a no-brainer to offer one. The fact they probably will not offer one in the USA tells us they know they won't sell enough of them to make it worth their while. They're not stupid, and they're not a charity--they are in this for profit. If there's ... Read More

Re: Govt. Data [backy]
That's funny. I never heard of a loss leader in the new car business. Loss leaders are meant to pull you in to buy something else in ADDITION to the loss leader item. For example, the supermarket offers bananas at .10/ pound, knowing that while you're in their store you'll buy milk, bread, condoms, etc. at the not so loss leader like price. Thus stated, it isn't like you're gonna walk ... Read More

Bump!
This comparison between Honda Fit & Hyundai Accent was pretty good. I only read the latter parts of the thread & didn't see any comparisons of the MPG of both cars. My wife's 2008 Accent, bought in Dec 2007 gave 30 to 32 thru the winter & rose just a bit as the weather warmed. I was a bit disappointed, thinking a Honda Fit might have given better MPG. Finally, I ... Read More

mpg a bit low for a small hatchback
I really like the look of the Hyundai Accent Hatchback, and the price, and the warranty, etc. My biggest problem is the low mpg owners are getting. I currently own a 2007 Yaris Hatchback, and I am please with the mpg. I am considering another new car, but the Accent mpg should be better than it is.

Re: Hyundai Accent: Real World MPG [trendmonger]
Trendmonger you make it sound like a government conspiracy and they lied to you about your Hyundai's gas mileage. Keep in mind all the EPA does is test the vehicles in a similar manner on the same test conditions. The results should be relative to each vehicle so if vehicle one gets 20 and vehicle two gets 30, then some drivers might get 10 on vehicle one and 15 on vehicle ... 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

Engine replaced in my 2007 Accent
We will be selling our 2007 Hyundai Accent, which has approximately 3,000 miles. The car had an unusual problem -- it came with a faulty engine. Part of the engine was just replaced -- the short block. Several months ago, the head gasket was replaced. The repairs were done under warranty. Assuming that our car's engine problems are now completely solved, I was wondering if anyone knows if having a new ... Read More

Idle Speed Variation During First Start
I have a 2007 Huundai Accent SE that I purchased 9/06. Since new, during initial start-up, the idle speed varies during the first 10 to 30 seconds, depending how cold the outside temperature is. I told the dealer's service advisor about this, when I brought the car in for scheduled maintance, on three occasions, and three different advisors stated that this is normal for all hyundais on all models. Does anyone ... Read More

Re: Low MPG
Our 2007 Hyundai Accent gets 40 percent worse mileage than it's supposed to. Since purchasing the car in December 2006, we've averaged 16.5 mpg in the city, instead of the rated 28 mpg. I know that mileage ratings are never as promised on the sticker, but our fuel efficiency seems excessively low -- and it's consistently low. Our Accent has 2,600 miles on it -- almost all city driving. Two other ... Read More

Re: the real story with mileage [roxy11]
the problem with the accent numbers is the tiny sample size. Yet you had no problem in your earlier post making generalizations about Yaris vs. Accent fuel economy using this small sample size.

Re: the real story with mileage [roxy11]
A couple of things about the fueleconomy.gov numbers: * There are only 7 ratings for the 2007 Accent AT and 3 for the MT. Not very large samples, compared to the samples for the 2007 Yaris. The samples for the 2006 Accent (the same car as the 2007 but in sedan form only) are even lower. * Note that the mpg's for the 2006 Accents are significantly higher than for the ... Read More

Re: I still think that Toyota missed the [ttai]
In case you hadn't noticed, Hyundais including the Accent are pretty darn reliable these days. I've owned two Hyundais so I can speak from some experience. They were as reliable as any other car I've owned, including three Toyotas. This isn't 1987, it's 2007 and times have changed. Is the Yaris immune to problems? Not from what I see in the Yaris discussions. At least when the Accent has a problem, ... Read More

Go immediately to your dealership and insist that they run a computer diagnostic on your Accent.

If this is the case return your vehicle if you are able, if not immediately call Consumer Protection because you have been screwed. I purchased my 2007 Hyundai Accent ... Read More

Will new IIHS scores change your buying decision?
New IIHS scores are out for "mini-cars" Yaris, Fit and Versa scored highest (Versa receiving "good" in all 3 areas) Accent/Rio received embarassingly low scores for cars equipped with SAB: Acceptable, poor, poor (Hyundai should be ashamed selling a 2007 model that does so poorly) So, do these scores change anyone's opinion?

Re: Hyundia VS, Toyota [come on]!!!!! [brettes23] [boloti_troy] [lhanson] [germancarfan1]
My 5-1/2 year old Hyundai with 45k miles on it drove like new when I sold it to my sister this spring and was very reliable over those years. It demonstrates that when talking about cars and reliability, one data point is pretty meaningless. As is talking about 2002 Sonatas in a discussion about the 2007 Accent and Yaris.

Re: canuck [canuck785]
If you want to keep the price low and need A/C, you might look into a 1-2 year old Elantra 5-door--much more car than the Accent or Yaris. Tires are cheap, good replacements available for around $40. Hyundai dealers typically offer discounts, and this is a good time of year for you--year-end. There is no general rebate on the Accent now, and that may change in early 2007 (speculation based on ...

I agreed that the depreciation savings on the Accent could be made up by the gas savings on the Yaris. But there's also finance savings and repair savings. So using the example you reposted: Accent: $13,040 price + 6.5% tax + $300 license/fees (plug in your ... Read More

After five years according to ALG's estimates, the Accent will be worth 23% of its MSRP and the Yaris will be worth 32%. That's $3334 for the Accent and $4784 for the Yaris.

One would think the new Yaris would be reliable, but then there have been some interesting glitches on the new Camry, and an upsurge in problems and recalls in general on Toyotas recently, for example: http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20060805/news_1b5recalls.html Trend for ...

Re: Pros and cons [tjw1308]
I accept that you define predicted reliability as you stated. I think that it's more reasonable though to measure predicted reliability based on the actual car.

Note that in their 2006 Annual Auto ... Read More

Re: Pros and cons [tjw1308]
I'm not sure how you are predicting reliability for the Accent hatch, since it's a brand-new design. Not even Consumer Reports has taken a shot at predicting reliability for it yet.

How many Yaris hatchbacks have you seen at ... Read More

Hello, Does anyone know what the maintenance schedule is for the 06-07 accent? I gather that the timing belt needs to be changed at 60k. I tried to find out at the hyundai website but it seems that the info is restricted to hyundai owners. FWIW I'll be looking into an 07 SE M/T when rebates kick in. Eric

Re: Accent GS first drive [acronis]
The Fit can be had at MSRP, although some dealers are charging more. If you read the Fit Prices Paid discussion, you'll see many buyers having a Fit (sorry) for MSRP or even a little under. Compare a base Fit for $14,400 with a 2007 Accent GLS with comparable equipment (power package and ABS, and 14" steel wheels) for $14,095. Not much difference, and the Fit has much more versatility, better ... Read More

Re: Accent GS first drive [backy]
FYI from someone with some experience about Hyundai Accent sales mix -- in the 2005 model year the 3-door accounted for 50% of all Accent sales. The lack of a 3-door has certainly impacted Accent sales -- a situation now resolved with the arrival of the 2007 model year lineup. (Accent sales were up 43% in June.)

Re: Accent GS first drive [backy]
"I think the timing belt replacement cost on an Accent is quite a bit less than $600-800." Check the Accent forums. That price is accurate. My Hyundai dealer charged me $200 for a measely 15K service (I checked with 3 other dealers, ALL charge this). $350-400 are routine for 30K services and $600-800 for the 60K w/ timing belt change. My friend paid $650 for her timing belt change on an ... Read More

Re: Accent GS first drive [backy]
I'm sorry but ABS has pretty much become a standard these days. There's not many people that want a car without 28 year old technology (ABS first introduced into production cars in 1978). SO, that means that if I want a 2007 Accent 3-door AUTO with ABS, I need to pay $15,495 (with dest.)??!! That's insane. WHy not purchase a Fit or Rabbit for less than $1K more? One can even ...

Accent GS first drive
I finally got to drive the 2007 Accent 3-door today, but it was the base GS model and not the SE, that I really wanted to drive. :( The GS was a 5-speed MT with the AC/stereo package and mats, MSRP $12,430. The interior forward of the rear seatbacks is very similar to that of the Accent sedan, which I have driven before. The GS is more spartan, however, and lacks ... Read More

Re: $16,800 for an accent se [jrtny04]
$16,800 for an accent se, it seems to me thats a bit much. Precisely why I am waiting to see if Hyundai offers any rebates on the 2007 Accent. In my state there is a $1000 rebate on the 2006 Accent good through the end of July, but nothing available yet on the 2007 models. Patience, however, is not one of my virtues!

Change title of this discussion?
Kirstie, now that the 2007 Accents are out, should the title of this discussion be changed, maybe to "2006+ Hyundai Accent"?

Re: 2007 Accent SE Test Drive [shado4]
Interior wise, I can see where Hyundai spent a lot of the money they charge you for this car. Everything fit well together and many things (like the sunglasses holder near the sunroof controls) opened with fluid precision. Very nice! The sunroof itself is glass and both tilts up and has a one-touch slide open feature. Two map lights are present and work with individual switches. The climate control switchgear is ... Read More

2007 Accent SE Test Drive
Believe it or not, my local Hyundai dealer recently got in a new 2007 Hyundai Accent SE. I stopped by for a test drive this morning. First, the basics. It was a Tango Red SE with the Sun and Sound package and auto transmission (in other words, as expensive and top-of-the-line as you can get for an Accent). The sticker was $16,830 which included destination but no rebates, taxes, title, etc. ... Read More

Re: Accent [azera25]
2007 Accent 3-door isn't at the dealers near me quite yet. I did see one GS when I was in Texas a couple of weeks ago. Since Hyundai said nothing about a 4-door SE version when they announced the 2007 Accent lineup, it doesn't look like there will be one coming in the near future.

Re: 16 k for a accent se [germancarfan1]
Fact is that for the first half of the year Hyundai has not been shipping many 2 door models (always the most popular model). Considering availability and the fact that it was well known that a completely re-tooled 2007 2 door was on the way and the drop in sales is hardly surprising or alarming. I wouldn't look for a big rebound in the 2nd half of 2006 either as Hyundai ... Read More

2007 Accent Test Drive
I finally got to test drive a 2007 Accent and grab a brochure showing some cool new pics and '07 color and cloth swatches. I felt the automatic transmission shifted smoothly but the 1.6L engine responded slowly when punching it into passing gear, though its 37 mpg rating is a respectable tradeoff. Plus, my insurance quote with the Accent's smaller engine and standard safety features was $200 cheaper annually than a ... Read More

Re: Very Puzzled...Please Help [craig10x]
Since Hyundai and third-party sources have already published the pricing for the 2007 GLS, they should be arriving soon. Don't know exactly when, though. You can use the New Car configurator here at Edmunds.com to get an idea of the list price of a 2007 Accent equipped the way your dad wants it, and the invoice price. Even though it's a 2007, I would try to negotiate down to invoice at ... Read More

Re: Very Puzzled...Please Help [craig10x]
After reading all the responses to your original post, I'm not sure if your question about the pricing of the 2007 Accent being lower was answered. Actually, for comparably-equipped cars, the GLS sedan is not priced lower. However, Hyundai has changed the packaging of the GLS for 2007, so it is possible to pay less money depending on the options you want. For 2006, ABS was standard on the GLS. For ... Read More

Re: 16 k for a accent se [jrtny04]
I would agree. Judging by the fact that the 2006 Accent WITH $1K in rebates isn't selling (sales down 26%), I'd imagine Hyundai will have to offer even greater incentives to move the 2007 Accent. But will people even care remains to be seen. Like i've said before, the ONLY way the Accent will sell is for Hyundai to price it at $12K for an AUTO trans fully equipped. Anything more, ...

Re: This is rather surprising.... [joe97]
"The Golf doesn't compete with Accent directly but it starts around 15K as well, while Accent starts under 11K." So the Rabbit doesn't compete with the 2007 Hatchback Accent? It seems nobody on the board wants the Rabbit to compete with any Hyundai car. A full loaded Rabbit 2-door with EVERYTHING but ESC ($450)(not offered on the Accent) or Alloys ($450) is $15,750. The 2007 Accent SE MANUAL is $14,495 (no ... Read More

Re: This is rather surprising.... [craig10x]
I think it's rather obvious why it isn't selling well. 1. Hyundai's reputation (or lack there of). Many people assocoiate Hyundai with small, cheap, simple, and poorly put together cars. The Accent (being cheap and simple) are what people think of when they think Hyundai. The Azera and Sonata, and to some extent the Elantra can escape this mentality b/c they are larger, and more expensive cars. 2. Accent's reputation. Piss ... Read More

Hi: My first posting on the forums...Here's the situation..my dad is interested in buying the 2006 Hyundai GLS 4 Door Sedan...Last week, he went into his local dealership in Deerfield Beach, Fla and was very suprised to see absolutely no vehicles of this model in stock, whatsoever...All he had in stock was 1 2007 2 door Accent. He told my dad that because the vehicle was overpriced by Hyundai, as is ... Read More

Re: 2007 accent se not worth the wait [jrtny04]
What other subcompacts are available with the equipment the Accent SE has for under $15k? Because it is a Hyundai, the expectation is that it will cost significantly less than its Japanese competitors. So wait a bit. The '06 Accent has a $1000 rebate now. With a rebate like that and a good discount by the dealer, the SE would be under $13k. That is a good buy considering its equipment ... Read More

2007 accent se not worth the wait
i guess hyundai has arrived as a competitor to the japanese auto makers and in doing so have seemed to forgot what made hyundai such an attractive alternative, the price. why someone would spend nearly 13k on an accent gs which is very very basic or 15k on an accent se both with subpar mpg is beyond me. considering that honda & toyota make a very reliable & cost effective product ...

Re: i have not seen new 2007 accent yet [joe97]
I hope the Accent SE shows up soon. Drove by the local Hyundai "Superstore" today and the only Accent they had on the lot was a black 5-speed GLS sedan with no options. I wonder when Hyundai USA will update their website with build your own and color selections?

Re: Hibernation [skikidd]
The 2007 Accent will be available in the near future. Hyundai can't get any more vague than that, can they! I think backy may be on to something. Look for the 2007 Accent on the last day of spring. The elusive SE will be seen by July 4th, though no one will have a camera to prove its existence and it will be treated as a figment of someone's imagination. :P ... 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

Re: backy, is the new 2007 Hyundai Elantra [backy]
You can bet that a decently equipped (with power toys and A/C) 2007 Elantra is going to cost you $16K+ (including destination). Look at the 2006 Accent...A decently equipped one ( and when I say decently equipped, all I mean is A/C and power) costs you an alarming $14,800. And thats for a fraking Accent! Edmunds didn't exactly find this class leading either in their recent review.

I'm adding the accent to my "list"
I hadn't thought about this car at all. I'm still shopping for a new car based on specs and working up a "gameplan" before I start to test drive cars at dealerships. Major factors for me in a new car are ability to play mp3s and as quiet a ride as these small cars can provide. The hyundai might be tops in the quietness category. From what I can tell it ...
