Horrible drivers seat!

My 2013 Accent has the most uncomfortable drivers seat I have had in 45 years. My husband has the 2008 Accent with lumbar support and I have no problem driving his. After only 30 minutes of driving mine I have a backache and headache. I have tried numerous fixes (pillows, lumbar screens, towels) and nothing has helped. I contacted Hyundai and I got a case number and was told to call my dealer. His recomendation was to but a new $1000 seat or trade up to an Elantra. (is he crazy?). This is our 7th Hyundai and we loved them. Why were the seats redesigned without the lumbar support? And why doesn't Hyundai offer me any suggestions?

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!!

The car was decent to drive when it worked and then it turned out to be the worst car I have ever owned. I thought I was getting a reliable vehicle and ended up getting a vehicle that lasted just past 101K. I have owned at least four other vehicles and all of them have lasted for years and made it to at least 200,000. In fact I have never had a motor go out on a single one of them except my crappy Hyundai. I well never buy another Hyundai.
