Hyundai Accent Real World MPG

Re: Hyundai Accent: Real World MPG [79customd]

We just bought a 2007 accent hatchback with manual transmission. We were expecting great gas mileage right off the bat but as it turns out, we're getting somewhere between 18 and 20mpg/city. We're almost through our first tank of gas and the odometer is only at 180 miles. I know there's a hidden gallon or so, but still, the range should be much closer to the advertised ... Read More...

2006-2007 Accent Maintenance schedule

Written by: rangner on Jul 18, 2006 06:06 AM

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 Read More...

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 ... Read More...

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.) Read More...

"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 ... Read More...

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 ... Read More...

Accent GS first drive

Written by: backy on Jul 15, 2006 08:24 PM

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 things ... 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! Read More...

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"? Read More...

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 ... Read More...
