Best car I've ever had

I bought my 2010 Accent GLS with 25k miles on it and I now have 40k after 9 months. This has been the best 9 months of driving I've ever had. I wanted a cheap car that was okay on gas and wouldn't fall apart. I got so much more than I expected. I have not had any serious problems. I got the headlights replaced under warranty because one was clouded and had water in it, and I got the starter replaced also under warranty. There is plenty of space for myself, my tall boyfriend, and a ton of bags and suitcases for when we go on trips. I get exactly what Edmunds suggests for gas mileage. I love the steering wheel audio controls, the XM radio, and the comfy seats. So much value in one little car!
This car may have saved my life

Two days ago I was plowed into the driver's side by a Subaru, who suffered minimal damage to his car but mine had to be totaled. I've had several people say they are amazed I managed to walk away without a single scratch or bruise. I loved this car from the moment I test drove it but in the aftermath of my accident I am hooked for life just on the safety features. If little cars are your thing, get one of these!!

Cruise control issue

When using the Cruise control rpm increase by 200-300 as opposed to using your foot to control speed. At 100 kph using your foot to control speed rpm are approx 2500. If using the Cruise option, at 100 kph the rpm are at 2800! This issue happens at all speed ranges, therefore, the vehicle does not get anywhere near the fuel mileage as advertised when using the Cruise control. Dealership finds the problem real and perplexing, Hyundai Canada says there is nothing wrong? So the consumer is stuck in the middle with no answers and no repair forthcoming. Not a very good intro to Hyundai for this first time Hyundai buyer.
Cheap in the best ways

It's 2021 and these cars are all over a decade old, yet still an excellent value on the used market. With Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris demanding extremely high prices, the Accent flies under the radar with much more reasonable prices. My Accent is at 165k miles of often very demanding city driving. With this car you MUST use all of the RPMs when merging onto the highway from an uphill ramp, put the pedal to the floor. Even despite needing to be treated like this, the engine holds strong and should continue to as long as it has oil. This car also benefits greatly in the snow by not having stability or traction control, which robs power from the drive wheels if slippage is detected. In a front wheel drive car you need to use the throttle to help straighten the car out in the event of a slide, and this car lets you do that without inhibition. With snow tires this car absolutely cuts right through even deep snow on unplowed roads, limited only by the ground clearance of the front end. I can't emphasize enough how fun this car is to drive in the snow for an experienced driver. The interior space is incredibly simple but not lacking in comfort. The seats do just fine, and headroom is good for me at 6'2". The cabin feels open and sightlines aren't heavily impaired by the A pillar like some other cars *cough Dodge Avenger cough*. A few downsides to this car are the strange placement of the starter, which requires you to lift the front end of the car and put it in gear (very dangerous) in order to remove. This car also uses a timing belt rather than chain, so expect to service the belt every 80k miles in order to keep your engine intact -- though for folks who work on their own cars this might be a plus. This car also has only a 4-speed automatic transmission, so fuel economy takes a hard hit when traveling above 75mph due to the high engine RPM. I'd suggest this car to anyone who needs a good winter beater, or someone who wants a car which feels older in it's simplicity of operation without the questionable reliability of an older car.

Great economy car. I put 280000km on my 2010 commuting to work 80km both ways, and it's still going. I use it as my daily driver more than my Dodge Challenger RT... I know, but its true.
