Used 2015 Hyundai Accent Consumer Reviews
Great vehicle
there is nothing not to love about this car, and this is coming from a Honda buff. Love this car, made a great decicion by getting this car, i drive it everywhere and like it more then honda accord sport with same manual transmition, i take 3 kids to school (including car seat in rear) and they all fit confortably. If you still thinking about Hyundai beeing that car company from 80's you wrong, test drive them and you will see.

great car in summer but worse car in winter
our 2015 accent sedan is a good little car in the summer but you will probably have to garage it for winter.This is the worse car i ever had in the winter.This car slid everywhere i went when the roads were snow covered,,good on dry road though.The car is so light.Bought the best tires for this car,still was lousy in the winter.Bought the same tires for my chevy colbalt,never slid once.....my colbalt is good and heavy the accent is too light..sorry guys....The accent is a FLORDIA car where the weather doesnt get to bad.

Rental misery
First, I have to say this was a rental car, stripped naked, not even cruise control! We rented it to just drive about 3 hours or so across the state, so didn't care what kind of car it was. We wanted cheap. We got it.. in spades. I've owned a Chevy Spark and even owned a 2004 Hyundai Accent hatchback and this was not even close in comfort or performance to either of these cars. Most horrid were the seats; I was in pain after minutes trying to find a tolerable position in a seat with no helpful adjustments. The seat back felt like sitting in a big baseball mitt that sunk in to provide NO back support whatsoever. Lumbar support... fuggetabout it! Felt like this car seat was designed to create a colony of hunch-backs. The handling was ponderous, even on good roads. Noise was so loud from tires, engine (when accelerating), and road sounds that it roared over attempts at conversation. The radio... well reminded me of my old AM radio in my 1974 Chevy Vega... that should tell you something. And the transmission was reminiscent of my old Accent whose transmission died twice in under 20,000 miles. It seemed to hunt, hopelessly, for what gear to be in, pausing and hopping at times as if a teenager was embedded inside the engine and just learning how to drive a stick shift. I know some CVT's are hoppy and pause (like my Spark, which is why I finally threw in the towel on this car and traded it). But this isn't even a CVT... it's just a lousy transmission. This actually talked me out of buying another Hyundai as I had one that was unreliable, my neighbor had the same Accent but in a sedan and her tranny also went out within 1st year of ownership, and my father's Sonata lost it's tranny with about 80,000 miles. Very disappointed in this car and would never buy one. I would recommend test driving other small cars that seem to be much more reliable, like maybe the Toyota Yaris (which also has much more comfortable seats).

Perfect for me
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.
