Only have 300 miles on this car and so far it is great. Very happy with its performance. Just did my first fill-up and got 29.6 mpg. That sure got a big smile on my face.

Bought in May of 2004 and it has been a real nice car. Even on long trips, loaded down, taking daughter to college in midwest (2,600 miles roundtrip), it performed admirably, even in the mountains.

Best car I've ever owned

I just bought this car last week, 900 miles on it already (I drive about 80 or 90 miles a day). Filled up a couple of times, I got about 34 mpg! Handles great, very comfortable, very fast! It's a lot nicer than I was expecting for the price, it has front and side airbags, lumbar support (nice for long trips), kickin' sound system, and so much more, I love this car!!

My little car

I have no regrets in the purchase of my Accent. It is not a luxury car but it is economical, reliable and I enjoy driving it. I get on average 38 MPG but I have had 44 MPG. For a small car it is amazing how much you can pack inside. With it being a hatchback, the trunk storage is very spacious for the size car. The main thing I dislike about the car's interior is the fact it has no interior armrest. This model didn't come with a clock on the dash either. In order to purchase the one that fits into the dash would have cost me around $200 which I thought was ridiculous. All in all, I love my little car. It provides me cheap reliable transportation. I enjoy the drive.

Decent Wheels

Really wanted the Elantra GLS, but this was a decent trade-off. It is an enjoyable drive, though I haven't taken an extended trip in it yet. I'm hoping to get one or two in soon to see if I can get some decent mileage. That is my biggest complaint to date - barely getting over 20 mpg. Second least favorite fact - lack of lighting on the ignition switch makes it hard to find at night. Third least favorite fact - the in-curving lines on the hood do not provide a good visual clue to how straight I am parking the car. It would be nice if the foglights could be used as daytime running lights.
