The only problem I've had is with engine oil. It started out with regular oil, then around 50,000 miles I switched to synthetic. It started using more than it should. When I went back to natural oil, consumption returned to normal. No one has been able to explain why. Other than that, no surprises. At 88,000 miles, my biggest complaint is cosmetic: The trim around the windows, the paint on the door handles, and the pinstriping is peeling off and looks shoddy.

love this little car, almost as much as my old 1981chevette ! I frequently drive 300 miles at a time with one tank of gas, and no backache! Handles very well, although it bounces around at times; still the traction has been there when I needed it. Fantastic mileage!

Stay Alive- Avoid the 2103 Hyundai Accent

I had the 2013 Accent for 7 years. Got 120k miles out of it. I serviced it as recommended and took great care of it. The engine blew out on a busy highway without any warning!! I made it the breakdown lane with about 2 seconds to spare before it died. Not only can you lose your life and endanger others but you will lose your money! DO NOT BUY A 2013 HYUNDAI ACCENT!!

First 2013 review! 44mpg highway @ 80mph

We test drove the Honda Fit and Kia Soul but neither got anywhere near the mpg of the Accent. I have a 40mi all-highway daily commute so I wanted something that was economical and comfortable. I typically do around 75-80 and use cruise control often. The Fit was buzzy on the highway (4000rpm) and materials quality was extremely cheap. The Kia was VERY quiet and comfortable on the highway but we just didn't need that much space. My wife has a 2010 Insight which is essentially a wagon, so for road trips or large loads we take her car. The Accent's 6th gear helps immensely with gas mileage. With cruise control set to 80mph and eco mode ON, I am averaging 44mpg hwy at a quiet 2500rpm. Very happy

Bought new and how has 89k miles. No repairs neeed other than maintanence items. Only flaw so far is periodic dashboard squeak on right-hand side after 10 years. This is our third Hyundai (2002 Elantra, 2012 Accent SE, and 2013 Accent GS). Only real downside is lousy resale value vs. Toyota or Honda but we buy them new and run them until they hit 180k to 200k miles. Update June 2024: now at 102k miles with no issues. Replaced front struts and water pump. For whatever reason new struts eliminated dashboard squeak. Hoping for 150k miles.
