Bought used at 87,800 miles. At 95,000 miles, the red oil light came on when making u-turns. Found out the oil was low and discovered after several months of self-testing that the car was burning oil. No physical leaks were found. Also, P0326 and P0130 came up frequently around that mile mark. Later, the 3rd coil pack blew. Later the P0269 came on and blew the third fuel injector. If you are buying a used car, be aware of the oil consumption issue. The engine is dying. Still going post 125,000 miles.

Good car in this price range. Bought the 6 speed hatchback new and have been impressed with it. Very impressed with the motor. Has plenty of power, is smooth and quiet and good with mpg. Yes it takes discipline to keep the mpg in good range. Drive a lot on icy mountain roads and this car has saved me a couple of times with great braking and stability in dangerous situations. Wouldn't recommend for a taller/bigger person but I guess that goes without saying. Its comfortable on long trips and I can fit my hybrid bicycle in the back! Big payload with seats down. Some minor finish failures in the cab with chrome covering peeling off in a couple of places but so what. My friend had an Accura that was a few years old and it had the same finish failures! Very happy and will probably buy the Kona next.

285 miles per tank??

Really only 285 miles per tank of gas!!! 30 mpg barely. I am driving 60/40% hwy/city and im not even getting 300 miles per tank. I took it into the dealer and was told that they "hooked it up" and there were no codes showing any problems. I drive speeds varying from 45-75mph....more closer to 75mph. So tell me what i must be doing wrong??? When my wife drives the same as i do (if not worse) and she has the sedan model. She gets close 340 miles per tank of gas. I was told by the dealership (Colonial Hyundai of Downingtown, PA) that it was the way i drive not my car. Should have stuck with an american made car!!
dissapointed

I bought a 2012 accent last yr new,I like the style and interior but the performance of it is very bad,last winter i had an experience I have never felt with any car,the roads were slushy and I had no control of the car,it was all over the road,stearing went one way and tires went another,also felt like I had no brakes took to dealer,of cource they found nothing also the gas,oh my god it eats gas,and the gas gauge is way off all the time,the range gauge that tells you how much further you can drive on that tank drops 2-3 miles as you are driving,even if I go a block.I have the digital gas gauge and that drops fast to,The dealer says nothing wrong,of course.
