Engine replaced in my 2007 Accent

Written by: regularcarguy on Oct 12, 2007 09:13 AM

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 ... Read More...

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 Read More...

Idle Speed Variation During First Start

Written by: scottnychay on Sep 27, 2007 10:20 AM

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 ... Read More...

Hyundai Accent Real World MPG

Re: Low MPG

Written by: regularcarguy on Aug 22, 2007 07:56 AM

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 ...

2007 Hyundai Accent v 2007 Toyota Yaris Lift

And I am more than pleased with my

Written by: iluvmysephia1 on Aug 03, 2007 10:57 AM

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS. I am very impressed with that sedan and I'm getting around 20mpg city and 30mpg highway. This is good enough mileage for me but I know that many of you would prefer better than that. I just love the bodystyling done on this car. Since this thread is about the 2007 Toyota Yaris liftback vs. the 2007 Hyundai Accent I will say that I would probably ... Read More...

Re: the real story with mileage [roxy11]

Written by: backy on Jul 27, 2007 07:31 AM

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. So if it's OK for you to do that, I guess it's OK for me to do that. Anyway, I'm not just generalizing based on the small sample size on fueleconomy.gov. I am also using as a base ... Read More...

Written by: backy on Jul 26, 2007 06:50 PM

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 2007s. ...

Re: I still think that Toyota missed the [ttai]

Written by: backy on Jul 26, 2007 06:02 AM

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 ... Read More...

The overall look of the car was sweet, black on black, with nice bright wheels, air, cd, auto,[ i also drove a manual ], I wanted the salesmen to go with me on ... Read More...

Written by: hatchbackfreak on Jun 17, 2007 06:51 PM

I guess not. Maybe you tested a new one. It becomes softer after 5,000 miles. Mine is on 8,300 now. :) I think it needs a break-in. Some say, Yaris is much noisier. Read More...
