Great little commuter / light traveler

I spent many hours researching cars and test driving them, found this little Accent to be the most roomy, efficient new car you can buy for the money. My criteria was it had to be able to carry 2 adults and two car seats (2 kids). Zippy enough to take over the pass loaded. The trunk is roomy enough for weekend trips. I was able to get mine for $13,600 + fees for a base model. The manual transmission is very slick and the clutch is very light. Low wind noise on the freeway. Handling feels tight, but still soft over bumps.

almost 100K miles in just over 3 years

First - I'm really big guy, 6'5" and 250 lbs so I get laughed at when I fold in half to get in/out of my accent. Second - I just passed 92K miles in 38 months (bought it new), and drive 325 miles straight about once a week. This is a good, very reliable, cheap to operate little car. No bueno when there is more than a few inchees of snow, but you can't expect much. I get about 36 MPH on the interstate doing 85-90 mph. I can get about 42 mph around town if I'm driving like a grandma (mine is a stick shift). Only problems we had was when my son hit a raccoon with it and just about totalled the car....took out the entire front end and did almost $6K in damage, for A RACCOON!!! Oh well, it got fixed and it's been great ever since. Worst issue I have had with the car is that it's RED, and wifey wanted BLUE. But the dealership, even after 3 months, couldn't find us a blue one. Hyundai needs to fix this; if I want to order a blue one, i should get a blue one. Anyway, great car.

Great on gas mileage

This is my around the town car. I fill up once a week. It’s tiny enough to fit into any parking space. I love the Bluetooth feature. I have the dealership service it, and it drives great. The one concern I have about the car is that the front end sits low to the ground. This means that if you park the car over a curb, when you pull out, the curb pulls out your front bumper. I have learned to park with my front end sitting way before a curb. This car is great on gas mileage. When I drove five states away, I only needed to fill up once.

Several years ago I swore that I would never own a Hyundai. We are very pleased with our decision to purchase the accent. At 10,000 miles so far, we've seen a low of 34mpg and a high of 43mpg, with 38-40mpg for our typically city driving. It's not fast, but it's nearly hybrid like economy for tens of thousands less and much more fun to drive. I'd have given perfect marks if it came with better tires and cruise control.

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!!
