I owned a 2007 Hyundai Accent when I was single, and loved it. My wife needed a fuel efficient car for long drives to work every day. Given price, features, comfort, and looks, as well as a smidge of brand loyalty, we had narrowed it down to Ford Fiesta and Hyundai Accent. My wife saw the Accent GLS with the premium package at our local dealership, and fell in love with it. We bought it Nov. 4th, 2014. Since that date (5 months) we've put 10,000 miles on it. Seriously. No problems with it, tires still look new and even; so factory alignment is still sound. Now with temps warming up, it's surpassing its fuel economy ratings. We usually average 33-35mpg, but now we're seeing 40+.

I bought my 2014 Accent in October 2014. I got it on a year end sale, so I got extra money off the sticker price! I drove off paying a little over 16,000, and mine came with a lot of extra perks! I have fog lights, steering wheel controls, Bluetooth, voice controls, cruise control, automatic lights, sat radio, just to name a few. I still own the car and I'm coming up to 44,000 miles on the odometer. Still haven't had any issues with it. Acceleration is excellent for a small engine. Tires wear evenly, and I'm still on my original set of tires. Interior is comfortable. Making long road trips is comfortable. Plenty of space for passengers. Handles turns on winding country roads with ease. Easy to park. My only disappointment with it are the cheap interior materials and the placement of the center console. The interior was collecting scratches within my first few months of ownership, and the center console is too close to the cup holders, so it sometimes gets in the way. Other than that, this car won't disappoint you if you want a dependable car for less than what you would pay for other brands. Oh, and I average 38 mpg.

This is my second review. It has now been a year since I had this vehicle. I am sort of getting use to having it. Before having this vehicle I was driving 2008 Jeep Patriot. I went from a SUV to having this vehicle. The vehicle is nice on gas, which I really need it to be. I travel 80 miles a day to and from work. The vehicle sits to low for me in my opinion. I am 6'2. The space in the back seat is kind of small, but other than that I have no major problems with this vehicle. If you have no kids. I believe that this would be a good vehicle for you.

Stupid tire size; 195/50/16 uncommon, expensive, hard to find. Also, driver side rear view mirror stinks. Otherwise, a steal for $15k new

More Bang for the Buck!

This is a small car that has given me over the Estimated Miles Per Gallon in fuel Efficiency. The front driver side is roomy enough, but the back is cramped for an adult. Small trunk area, but OK for trips to the grocery store. Overall I really like this car and it has given me No Trouble whatsoever.

Bought this car used. Everything is fine but fell in a pothole (I live in Puerto Rico this is common) and the bumper came off on the right side. Seen many cars here with the same problem. Sometimes is slow up the hill. Great on gasoline.

It's a Daily driver, and nothing more.

It's a daily driver and nothing more. The quality is poor in many areas. I bought my 2014 in 2018. Exterior door handles break easy. The paint on the trim around the steering wheel came off. Paint around radio trim coming off. Sunvisor broke and started falling so had to replace. Sunglass holder started falling down. Catalytic converter had to be replaced at 95,000 miles. Bumper falls off no matter what you do. You can get a brand new bumper professionally installed and it will start falling off 2 months later. That being said, the car is at 140,000 miles and no major services aside from the Catalytic converter. The car will get you from A-B, but don't expect anything more.

I purchased a used 2014 Hyundai Accent in 2016 and almost 3 months later the battery died. Replaced it. Then 6 months later my engine light came on. It was the canister solenoid and mechanic said that shouldn't have happened. Oh boy... A year later my catalytic converter failed. Replaced it. This car has now had FOUR catalytic converters and they still go bad. Very frustrating. The battery dies every 2 years, I keep getting blown spark plugs and ignition coils. It has broken down on me twice in the last 3 months. Fuel pump went bad, pcv valve went bad, my engine consumes oil, had to have radiator replaced, along with the coolant reserve tank. Fun fact: The $30 coolant reserve tank is attached to the fan housing so it can't be replaced without replacing the entire fan for $700. It's also a noisy car and not very comfortable. My engine light keeps coming on. I fix the issue and then it comes on for something else. It is a money pit. I'm parking it this week and looking at a Honda!
