2007 Hyundai Accent GS 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 4A)

Review

I love my Hyundai accent. It's small and gets around 30mpg on gas. I have had a problem with the ignition, for some reason the key wouldn't turn at all so they had to put a new cylinder in. It didn't really bother me cause of the great warranty so I didn't have to pay a dime. Also I have used the roadside assistance twice and the service has been flawless. Overall, I love the car and plan on driving it until it dies on me.

Favorite Features

gas mileage, size, hatchback, radio, fun to drive, outstanding warranty

Suggested Improvements

already have paint chippings on hood, center counsel, and that's it

First breakdown at 12,000 miles.

2007 Hyundai Accent SE 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 5M)

Review

Overall a decent sporty car for the money with plenty of standard features for the price and great economy, however some switches (headlights) still feel cheap, and the engine is downright asthmatic with the a/c on (which in Arizona is a lot). You'll find a lot of people riding your tail after green lights while you get up to speed. Driver's armrest on door is rock hard, what were they thinking? I can't even bear to put my weight on it because it hurts my elbow. Shifter is slow and balky. B&M shifter, yeah right, from their spare parts bin maybe. Love the styling, the SE rims really add a wonderful sporty look to the car, get the SE if you can, it totally transforms the look of the car.

Favorite Features

Leather wrapped steering wheel, precise feel through corners, styling is very nice for a small econobox. Fairly roomy inside for a small car. Engine is extremely quiet at hot idle, you almost can't tell it's running.

Suggested Improvements

Beware of hot weather and short trips! Needs alternator and battery after only 12,000 miles! The low beam headlights could reach further, driver window not closing correctly, the driver's armrest needs padding, the door needs some kind of protective pad or something to prevent scratches from belt.

Suprise

Review

What a Surprise just bought my Hyundai Accent 07 as a second car. I was looking for an affordable 2nd form of transportation as I own a Jeep Wrangler that was somewhat pricey to buy and pricey to drive at 15 mpg. I love my Hyundai Accent SE already! It handles well with the 16 in tires and sport suspension. Power windows, mirrors, and locks; 10/100,000 power train, roadside assistance and a real smooth ride all for a great price. Good job Hyundai not as fun to drive as my Jeep in the Summer but surprisingly very close and for half the price. I am very happy. The only down side so far is it is a little sluggish on the hills with the AC running but that is what I expected for a 1.6l gas sipper

Favorite Features

Power everything, 16 inch Tires with the spots suspension, Road side assistance and good performance with a smooth ride. Good job Hyundai

Suggested Improvements

1.6 liter is a little sluggish on hills but this is a fair trade for a fuel sipping car. Put the drink holders in a better spot next time right now they seem to be in the way and hard to reach at times.

Review

I have had my '07 Accent for over a year, and have put 22,000 miles on it. So far I have not had any problems, mechanical or otherwise. After the break-in period I have been averaging 36-40 mpg in mostly highway driving. The car is roomy for two people, is very easy to drive, and everyone comments on how it looks (most girls think it's "cute"; most guys think it's "ugly"; but at least it's getting noticed, which is more than you can say for most of the cars in this price range). I traded in a full-size vehicle for this little guy, and I couldn't be happier with it.

Favorite Features

Fuel economy; fun-to-drive aspect; the air conditioning is fantastic.

Suggested Improvements

replace the hard-plastic of the elbow rests on the doors with something softer.

Hyundai 2007 hatch back

Review

I bought my car in 2007. I have had problems from the beginning. I just wanted to know if anyone else out there has had problems with the car not starting after making a few stops around town? I turn the key but nothing happens. It is almost like the battery is dead but everything else works. After I try for a while the car finally starts. I took it to the dealer, but they cannot seem to find anything wrong with the car. I am very frustrated with the situation. I was stuck in a parking lot for over a half hour . I have finally decided to let them keep the car until they can find what is wrong with it. I am very interested in knowing if anyone else is experiencing this same problem.

Favorite Features

It is roomy on the inside. It gets good gas milage.

Suggested Improvements

Needs more power going up hill. Power windows and locks would be nice. Please add cruise control.

Review

Your advertised m. P. G on sales sticker and email of 33 mpg is wrong. My wife averages 20.5 mpg around town at average speed of 45 mph shopping locally round trip 10 miles 3 or 4 times per week. Have car tested.

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

Have car tested, fuel injectors, fuel computer and every thing to do with air/fuel mixture, brakes, compression tests. Dealer says wait till 10,000 miles.

Review

MPG was low for first 3,000 miles. I am now averaging 33.5 MPG with Automatic while driving 60/40 Highway/Town. I reviewed Fit, Versa, Aveo, Yaris and Mini before purchasing this car and with the improved MPG after break in I am delighted to say I was right. THE cost, reliability, quality and super warranty are superior to all of the aforementioned vehicles. It is not even close. Great Job Hyundai, I wish the American automakers would follow your lead.

Review

I've had my car for just about a year and a half. It started since day 1 of bringing it into the dealer to have a check engine light looked at. A year and a half later they find out that they had to replace the intake manifold and 7 valves. Now after 3 weeks of getting my car back, I cannot drive it because they FORGOT or RUSHED to hook up the fuel line so gas is Running out of my car when its running. I have to wait to have it towed to the dealer tomorrow to have the FIX what they did. When I can trade this thing in and not be upside down on the car I will. DO NOT BUY!

Scrap the car. Its not worth the money

Bad Car!!!

Review

This is the worst car I have ever owned. I had to have the engine replaced 4 months after buying it brand new, and I need new tires already also. The wheel shakes incredibly bad when driving at highway speeds making it nearly impossible to control the wheel when driving on the highway. Extremely unsafe car. I've filed for the lemon law.
