Used 2002 Hyundai Accent Consumer Reviews
NOT A BAD CAR
Overall I got my money's worth but at 124,000 miles there's something wrong with my transmission that's around a grand to fix. I think the tranny's a big issue on this vehicle but it's reliable and although I'm not buying another I'm very satisfied with it.
Not good, Not bad either!
The car is used as my commuter car. I drive 1/2 hr to work each day in it. i think I paid $8200 total (including TTL) and pay around $12 in gas a week. the car is cramped (I am 6'1) and the seat does not slide back enough for me. The radio also has a problem with keys sticking and being hard to press. The car runs well enough...although it has too much power for the light frame so the front tires peel out froms tops at times.

Be forwarned
I bought this car because I needed reliable transportation with a low cost. The warranty was what suckered me in. The check engine light came on at 400mi. and has stayed on. I now have 28,000mi. I've taken it in to be looked at, and the dealership can't seem to figure out what is wrong. My dealership tried to charge me to look at the car. I had to call Hyundai to get a refund, and I still have the problem. Mechanically, otherwise, it has been fine...I have yet to be left stranded. I do plan to replace this car with another Toyota in a few months. I was hoping for similar quality, but sadly mistaken.
very functional
I have been driving mine for over a year now, including trips from Illinois to North Carolina, Nebraska and Tennessee. No problem driving through rain storms and a snow storm. I had ample power in the mountains. When I bought a computer system last summer, had no problem fitting all of the boxes inside. I regularly carry my bicycle inside. I am a small person, and the driver's seat is exactly the right size.
bang for your buck
Excellent car for running back and forth to work, with kids,scouts ect.FUN to drive. Looks good too. No more mechanics bills for ten years. Peace fo mind for $11,000 cant be beat.
