I have to travel alot around town, it is great on the gas milage and it looks smart. I have always had large vechiles mostly vans so this was a big change, yet a good one, it is fun to drive and the get up and go is nothing like any 4 cyl. engine I have ever driven.

Worth the money

I have had this car for 5 years now and the only expensive thing ive done to it was a timing belt. (Part of 60,000 mi service). Other than that it has given me no problems. You cant beat a 5 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and a 10 year 100,000 mile engine and power train warranty. The warranty was why I bought this car. I just wish other makes of vehicles would do the same.

A lot for a little

I bought my first Accent last year and it was a sporty little GL 2 door. It had a very comfortable power to handling ratio. It is obviously not a performance automobile but it never lacked the get up and go I needed, even with the a/c on. Unfortunately, a renegade truck wheel bouncing along the interstate put an end to that nice little 2 door. During the accident both airbags deployed and I suffered no injuries whatsoever. My wife and I just bought another one, only this time we went for the four door.

Basic transportation.

After 25,000 miles the car developed too many squeaks and rattling from doors and seats. During acceleration, engine noise is very high. Extra gear and revised transmission are needed. Automatic transmission lacks finesse and does not compare to Honda Civics or Toyota Corollas. At speed does not corner well. Performance is OK, if prepared to high revving engine and increased (engine) noise. Disappointing fuel consumption for a 1.6 liter engine: did not exceed 33.60 miles/gallon even at 65 on major highways. In short: just basic transportation.

I love my car.....this car looks sporty and the price is right....I love my sun roof, and some of the other features. I'm also glad it's a basic model, no electric windows to worry about....I hate ABS...so this is a great car for me. It handles really well...drives pretty smooth, and I find it a lot of trunk space....and room for friends in the back. My friends are surprised by how spacious it's in the back. Very economical to drive. ")
