I bought my 2012 Accent 1 year ago with 52,000 on it. I had to pay 8,000 but it blue booked at around 11,000 or more. Great start right out of the gate with the dealer. I was told it gets about 38 mpg. I have been getting 30 to 35 mpg in town and on the highway I get normally 40 to 45mpg but I have managed a few 50 mpg days , I think I was using fuel tank octane boost on those days I can't recall. I really like the way the car handles but it sits very low, it has 77,000 on it now and no problems, I change oil regularly and just had the 75,000 mile fluid change with transmission and all the other fluids. Had the fuel system cleaned also. Battery is getting old and needs replaced , other than that my seats are worn and faded, I just put new seat covers on it, if you buy one I would put the seat covers on them right away. Really impressed with the car, thinking of getting the car all lubed up underneath and normal tune up asap just to prevent anything from going wrong. I hope to get 250,000 out of it or more if I can. I drive it for Uber and Lyft and its pretty good for uber trips because of gas mileage but if making lots of stops in the city 30mpg is pretty average, which is great for uber since you pay for your own gas and most cars don't get that in the city. I drove a Hybrid Ford Fusion and this car gets all the gas mileage just not a little rougher stopping and starting than an automatic or heavier car. It sits very low I have to take it in for oil changes because I don't have a jack to fit underneath and its to low to drive up on ramps.

I love this car but I was not "surprised" there was no spare tire, I was down-right pissed. I took a road trip over New Year's and when I was heading back home, discovered there wasn't a spare tire!! Who does this!! What idiot S. Korean engineer dreamed this one up? Scenario: Me and my wife and son hit road debris at night on the freeway which shreds the tire. I'm frantically looking up and down for the spare which doesn't exist. Bang, lights out. I guess Hyundai thinks a tire inflater will fix this. Wrong! This is inexcusable and is a safety hazard plain and simple. I'm notified the dealer, Hyundai and I think I'm going to contact a federal agency to complain.

Very impressed with this car. No other hatchbacks come close to the new Accent with regards to fuel economy and warranty. Responsive handling and enough pep that I feel confident entering the freeways. The interior is roomy and quiet, the A/C works great on even the lowest two settings, and that's saying a lot in Phoenix summer heat! I only averaged 34 MPG until I filled up at Chevron, then my MPG jumped to 36-37 mixed and 41 highway. I'm not a schill for Chevron and don't work for them, but that's the only gas I'll use now.
Hyundai proves again that they are a company to be noticed....

Awesome! Is the word to describe Hyundai's latest redesign of it's entry level vehicle.... First of all let me say that finding a vehicle that fits a over 6' tall male and a 5' female can be a challenge, especially from a driving position point-of-view. No problems here...seat, steering wheel, interior headroom and leg room are all generous....I can even fit in the back seat comfortably! The 138 hp direct fuel-injected engine is very willing and has plenty of passing power on the highway. In my opinion, the car rides as nice or better than Hyundai's own redesigned Elantra (which is not direct fuel injected). Fit and finish both inside and out are class equal to it's competition.
Great little runabout
