Used 2007 Hyundai Accent GS 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
Two Hundred Eighty Seven Thousand Miles and Runs Great
First the bad. The hatchback latch spring gets stuck so after pulling it to open the rear door, I have to manually place the latch/handle back in place. I REALLY wish there had been cruise control on the Accent. The good. Everything else. This car has been driven an average 300 miles a day and it has been awesome. Outer paint looks new, engine runs great. Inner trim still looks great (but showing scratches and some fraying on the seats). Just took it to the dealer for a checkup, engine light on issue and an oil change ... $250 total bill. I'll drive it to Florida next week. Averaging 36-37 mpg with the 5 speed, compare that to my 31 mpg avg driving a 2007 Versa 6 speed.
Good economical car
Small car, but good headroom, legroom, overall comfort. Economical to own and drive. Would happily buy another.

great mpg, no problems
I have had my '07 Accent for over a year, and have put 22,000 miles on it. So far I have not had any problems, mechanical or otherwise. After the break-in period I have been averaging 36-40 mpg in mostly highway driving. The car is roomy for two people, is very easy to drive, and everyone comments on how it looks (most girls think it's "cute"; most guys think it's "ugly"; but at least it's getting noticed, which is more than you can say for most of the cars in this price range). I traded in a full-size vehicle for this little guy, and I couldn't be happier with it.
Sweet ride
This car blows my mind for the money. Handles outstanding even in gs trim. Looks beautiful. quick too.
Lots of Trouble
I have had several different problems with this car every year that I have owned it. In the last three weeks, I have had the check engine light come on twice for two different problems and my passenger door handle came off when I pulled it like you would a normal door handle. Additionally, my passenger air bag has been broken for the past year out of nowhere and I have to put new oil in my car every month or so because of a leak, and my oil light doesn't work so I have to hope I catch it before it gets too low every time. Every time I get in my car, I worry that it's going to break down again and I'm going to have to drop even more money on fixing it. I have spent more on fixing it than I did to buy it. I don't know if it's just this particular car, but I take good care of it and am tired of stressing about it.
