2015 Hyundai Accent GLS 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 6M)

Where to start? First I can say I am pleasantly pleased with this car. With the 138 hp coming from this direct fuel injected engine the gas mileage is at the top with a consistent 40mpg. I can say that I'm not an easy driver on the car so that gas mileage is for the manual gear box and I do drive the car at a brisk pace. The engine is so smooth all the way to red line and the shifting is really good. Easy gates to find your gears and with the 6 speed manual the fun never stops. The only thing you've got to get used to is the way you go into reverse so keep this in mind if you're ever wanting to purchase this car. Handling is above par in my books. As a person that's been building cars for over 35+ years I know how to make a car handle and Hyundai has got this car right from the start. Turn in on the car is perfect with just a bit of over steer and although the car has traction control and stability control, I turn those off to have a more real experience with the handling of the car, and to drive the car as it was meant to be. The electric power steering is right on target with good feel for the road and feed back too. The car can be a bit twitchy with the way the front suspension is set but with a little tweaking I'm sure that it can be improved upon as the car is paid off but for now I can't complain at all. The brakes take some getting use to and the pedal feel is quite abrupt when you use the brakes. Most of my other cars the brakes have been a bit better for modulating but the Hyundai seems to have a bit of a propensity to over boost their brakes which again takes some getting used to. Heel and toe downshifting is really a cue on how sensitive the brakes are and can cause you to be a bit jerky in heel toe downshifts unlike other cars I drive the same way. I can't call it a bad thing with the brakes and I must also realize too that this is a sedan made for economic driving and not sporty driving which I love to do. Pedal placement for heel toe shifting is pretty close to being on target but with the pedal set I purchased I was able to get it right on the sweet spot so again this car can be made to be quite sporty when driven in a sporty mode. Acceleration in this car is a blast. It keeps up with most anything on the road and going onto Interstate highways is easy with this car and no problem in getting it up to speed. Interior of the car is good too. Most people would say it's cheap but I say it's cheap but well made and the quality of the material seems like it's going to last for some time before any wear and tear are going to show. In the 12,000miles I've owned this car I'm quite happy with everything on this car. It's easy to work on, the engine compartment has easy access to most anything, and the gas mileage is a big plus considering that the EPA gives this car much lower EPA ratings than what it actually gives. I also use real, 100% gas and no ethanol so that may have something to do with the little bit of extra go and gas mileage but I wouldn't have it any other way. As a sports car enthusiast owning Porsche's, Fords, Chevy's, Toyota's, and building cars I can say that Hyundai got this one right. So far very happy with this purchase. :)

2015 Hyundai Accent GS 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 6A)

I have had this for about a 16 months and have about 50,000 miles on it already as I drive a lot for work (over 60 hr a month on average), and I still just LOVE this car I have affectionately named The Tiny Little Road Dawg. (yes I am a UGA Alumni that why I call it Dawg). For many months I tracked the MPG and you can view it a FEULY.COM under Road Dawg. Basically I get about 35 mpg real world (the car's tracker is always about 3mpg high), up to 40+ if only doing long road trips at 55-65mpg. If going faster, or doing city driving it drops off. But if you drive the speed limit or near, you will do very well. We had a 2 door Accent in the mid-90's and even with a stick it only bested 27mpg. Things have come a long way. This car is waaaaay nicer and more advanced and gets better MPG without even trying. It is a perfect "inexpensive commuter car". The car is always comfortable and feels safe, even in bowels of Atlanta traffic as well as the country back-roads of deep-woods rural Georgia. For someone who is looking for a versatile hatchback to get around in, I could not recommend this car enough. It is the perfect combination of CHEAP and QUALITY and GOOD Lastly, with the USB port plus my iPhone on top of dash via a magnetic clamp, I have my own GPS, music streaming and podcasting ... all the tech I would want in my car for short jaunts or looooong road trips. Update: Nov 2016 - now at 85,000+ miles, still loving it! Mileage is still just as good, and NO issues. Still like runs and functions like new! Only issues with my car is a cracked windshield from a rock and a banged up front end from THREE different people backing into it. Highest possible recommendation.

2014 Hyundai Accent SE 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 6M)

I love my little Hyundai Accent SE Hatchback. I had a two door Accent Hatchback prior to this. This one has air conditioning and a super lovely sun/moon roof to open under starry nights and while breezing through fresh scented evergreen forests of the wild, woolly Pacific NW. My current model is a bit of a 'low rider' body wise so I can't go as far down those bumpy dirt back roads to camp...but hey, the gas mileage is great...(Love that my tank is usually filled for about $30 and gas mileage on freeway is about 35 mpg. )I live in a rural area and when I go to the 'big city' (Seattle) and there is high competition for parking I have the 'edge' as my car fits into those tiny spots that only small cars can manage. Also, I love being about to make a full turn around on a street without having to back up due to the small size. Front and rear defrost is fast and efficient and upper heat is great. (Heater at feet zone is unimpressive!) No heated seats (darn!) but I hope to buy two front seat full body heating cushions to plug into the cigarette lighter! For the past four years all I've had to do is my scheduled oil changes and one 30K mile service! LOW MAINTENANCE! YES! I can fit an incredible amount of camping gear in my hatch. Fits lots of groceries easily as well. I love that EITHER one or both back seats can fold down and I can fit two person's worth of camp gear including coolers in my car. Also, my front seat has an adjustable lumbar cushion and folds down to nap while waiting for people and ferries! My bluetooth works perfectly in car and is nice and legible to hear people. I like the removable rubber cargo base in the hatch and have taken it out to wash which is a nice feature. I like the 'organizers' behind the front seats where I store my first aid kit and ID guides for birds, sealife, land critters and plants. There is road noise on the freeway as was the case with my other Accent. It took me about a year to find my fog lights and found the front and rear wipers a bit confusing for the first year (I never read the manual!) It wasn't until I watched a 'U-Tube' video on my car that I found out I could open and close my driver window and sunroof with one quick touch! (After owning my car for three years!) The radio and CD operate well. It's lovely having front AND rear wipers as it rains frequently here in the Pacific NW. This car is reliable and cute and I highly recommend it!
