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+.
My great little gas mizer

I looked at a-lot of cars while looking for a commuter vehicle. I chose the Hyundai Accent for its styling and hatchback capability. Even though some of the reviews I looked at stated the gas mileage was fair, I have not found that to be the case. On my first trip I received 42.5 miles per gallon and with the A/C on it dropped down to 40 mpg. Its the basic car- that is what i wanted. With the 6sp manual transmission the car was a lot of zip and the handling is not bad . The XM radio is a plus as well.

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 a small, cheap car that looks nice, feels comfortable, and gets very good gas mileage. While a few very small improvements are in order, I would highly recommend it.

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.

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. :)

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.

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!

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.

I’ve had mine since new, for 6 years. I’ve put 108k miles on it and I have had zero motor, transmission, or brake issues. I’ve replaced the battery once at the end of 6 years. I could easily put another 100k on it. The only issue is that I like to pop tires and every time I do, the replacements are hard to find and expensive for a little car. Also great gas mileage. So if you are a better driver than me, Zero downfalls.

This car saved my life! I was rear ended by a drunk driver last night and totaled the car. Miraculously I walked away with only a concussion. The car looked as if it was involved with a deadly crash that could’ve killed someone. This car runs so well and I’m definitely going to keep buying this. I highly recommend if your looking for reliability and safety

If you still thinking about Hyundai beeing that car company from 80's you wrong, test drive them and you will see.

i purchased my Accent last year after my Sonata was totaled after I was hit in that car. When I saw the Accent, I knew had to give it a test drive. It is "Tiger Orange," has a hood scoop on the hood, and even has "Tiger Stripes" on both panels above my front wheels. I took this car from New Jersey to Arizona and back, and the car squeezed out 49 MPG; no lie. I experienced the same MPG going to Montgomery Alabama and back to New Jersey. I have a 6 speed manual, and I am sure this helped with the MPG a little. The steering on this car is tight; no play in the wheel, plus I love the way I can feel the road in the steering wheel. I love this car and living close to Princeton, NJ, my "Tiger car" has admirers.

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).

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.
A new Yaris iA better than my 3 year old Accent?

2015 Hyundai Accent Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 6A)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
UPDATE: I ended up replacing the Accent with a Kia Forte. So I no longer own this Accent. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I started looking around for an economical car that could replace my 2015 Accent Sport hatchback and based on very favorable reviews of the Yaris iA, I figured it would be a good replacement. There are many advantages on paper for the Toyota Yaris. It has things not available on my Accent, mainly a back up camera, low speed autonomous breaking, push button start and a 7 inch infotainment screen. Plus the trunk of the Yaris is slightly bigger than the hatch space with the seats up. Of course, the Accent cargo storage is more flexible since this is a hatchback, but I was willing to forego the flexibility of a hatch if everything else was good. So I spent 2 days and over 500 miles in the Yaris and here are the things that stood out. Two major pluses for the Yaris are the fuel economy and road handling on twisty road. As for handling, the difference is negligible on a freeway or on city streets but on a curvy 2 lane road, the Yaris wins easily – and this did not surprise me because it is a Mazda underneath the Toyota badge. The other and perhaps the biggest advantage of the Yaris is the fuel economy. I got between 42 and 46 on 3 fill-ups and that included some time spent fighting major congestion along the Oregon coast. I have almost never achieved 40 mpg in my Accent and it is usually only about 34 in mixed highway/city driving. Some things are almost equal – road noise is perhaps slightly less in the Yaris but wind noise is less in the Accent. The difference is most pronounced on the freeway when a truck passes. This is quieter in the Accent. The engines are almost equal although the Mazda engine revs a bit more freely. Engine noise is very muted in both cars unless you really push the engine when you can then hear some noise. The suspension seems equal to me although at times I thought that the Yaris was a bit better – but this is a very subtle difference. But then the Accent wins on some very important measures. First and foremost, the Accent seats are wonderful with nice lumbar support. I was never comfortable in the Yaris seat for lack of lumbar support and the seat, even when adjusted for height, still makes one feel that you are in a bit of a bucket. My passenger felt the same and commented that he felt very confined in the Yaris, whereas the Accent gives you space to move around a bit. The floorboard space in the Accent is much better. We all like to adjust our legs after a while but Yaris really restricts you here. The visibility in the Accent is better in the front and on the sides. Neither car has good rear visibility. So overall comfort in the Accent was really the big difference, although there were additional advantages in the Accent. You have retained power in the Accent to listen to the radio or raise/lower windows but everything dies in the Yaris immediately when you turn off the engine. This is a bigger irritation than it sounds in everyday use. Also the rear windows in the Accent go all the way down but not in the Yaris. The Accent has a nice center armrest with storage underneath – but not in the Yaris. Front door storage is better in the Accent. The sun visors in the Accent can be adjusted to block out more sun when it is coming in from the side. Not available in the Yaris. The steering wheel is leather in the Accent, vinyl in the Yaris. The Accent sport has rear disc brakes, drum brakes in the Yaris. The Accent has fog lights but not yet available in the Yaris. The Accent has Sirius radio (which I like a lot) and the infotainment system in the Yaris does not. I will admit that the Yaris screen is much nicer and larger and you do have HD radio (something lacking in my Accent). I also like the Compass and elevation info that you can get in the Yaris. I am a geographer and love having that elevation data and it seemed quite accurate based on some roadside elevation markers that we passed. In summary, I was expecting that this Yaris would be my next car. But the comfort level is significantly lower in the Yaris and it is missing some niceties standard in the Sport version of the Accent, and so I am sticking with my Accent for now.

I had this car as a long-term rental (1 mo, 3 days), and put around 2,200 miles on it. So I feel comfortable with my thoughts and opinions, and I'll ignore the factors that are the optional rental car features (poor alignment, bald tires, iffy brakes, blown speakers), although this car only has 21k miles on it. I've been in Hyundais before and had a positive opinion of the brand. Aside from the impossible-to-see-blind-spot Azure, each Hyundai I've known is a great vehicle. Except this one. Lets start with with the pros: - Efficient, I was getting 50+mpg cruising down the highway. Active ECO setting gave me another 5 mph everywhere, which was kinda nice. Without cruise control, because it wasn't included :/ - Powerful. Like if you mash the gas it will actually go. And pretty fast for the car class and engine size as well. Even with the 'active ECO' mode on. - Space. Surprisingly roomy, lots of useful nooks and crannies for stuffing stuff into and the trunk is massive. But that's probably because it lacks a spare tire. Well that was short. Lets do the cons: - Transmission. I've never felt more instances of 'stalling out' as I did with this car. You either mash it and the car eventually gets you into 2nd and 3rd gears, or you lightly press the gas and wonder if and when your next gear will even show up. Strange indeed. Also, it is way too easy to shift from Drive into Reverse. Way too easy. If a passenger (or driver, honestly it's not hard to do) just bumps the gear change forward you will be changing gears. Be aware of this. - Ride. After 2,200 miles, I failed to find a road the car was comfortable on. The suspension just wants to sulk around, the steering wants to lag through turns, and the car certainly thanks you for taking it really really easy through any twisty sections. The seats are abhorrent. At least they are easy to adjust into another uncomfortable position! I didn't sit in the backseat, but apparently they aren't as bad. It might be a judgement aided by Jose Cuervo (Yes Mom, I was D.D.) I will say that I had little tread on the tires and a badly needed alignment, so perhaps I didn't have the best car to experience the drive-train properly. - Quality/interior. The driver side door struggled to stay closed or close properly, which is ridiculous for any vehicle on the market. The interior was the cheapest design and feature set I've has since my first car: a beater 93 Grand Am. At least there was an accessible AUX port, but that was the only creature comfort that puts this car over a Gen 3 Civic. The air settings will drive you insane. I can walk my dog (two pees and a poo) faster than this car defrosts on a 25 degree morning. The fan squeaks like a purring cat with Emphysema, though not as bad at higher settings. I don't know why the A/C automatically kicks on when its 36 degrees out and the heat has been running for 4 minutes, but this is what happens. And if you turn the A/C off, turn the fan off and then switch the fan right back on? Yeah the A/C kicks back on too. Even if you are on max heat setting. -__- - Safety. As others have pointed out, the headlights are horribly aligned. But beyond that, the road-holding is a joke. I felt like I would spin out driving around cloverleaf interchanges, even at 30 mph. Also, if you drive in a sunny area, you will DESPISE this vehicle. See, the top of the dashboard has a textured material, and its reflection throws a translucent pattern across the entire windshield. So everything in front of you has a strange 'textured effect' and an awful glare. Polarized sunglasses makes this worse, as the reflection is even more obvious. If you are unlucky enough to be driving over a body of water on a bridge on a sunny day, you are seriously driving blind. - Looks. This is a downright uninspiring car. I don't really care what I look like in a car (because I'm sure I look like a fool), but stepping out the door every morning to see this definitely failed to lift my spirits. It's not a Honda Fit smile. No Chevy Sonic grin. Not even a Nissan Versa inquisition! Just a face that goes 'bleeeehhhh lets get some McDoubles and drink Natural Light this morning' Verdict: I'd probably buy this car for someone I didn't like. And I feel bad that it's your rental car.

My 2013 Jetta was damaged in an accident, while being repaired the other party's insurance was kind enough to add insult to ingury by inflicting this car on me as a rental. This car accelerates at the speed of smell. Any and all road noise is heard and felt. The car rides like an unbalance washing machine. It didn't fit my dog comfortability let alone my small children. And to top it all off comes without a spare tire.

For a company that prides itself with reliability and best selling warranty. The A/C compressor now costs over $1k to replace. On a vehicle that is mass produced there are little to no options for aftermarket replacement parts and little to no market for replacement parts in general. In order to get any of the parts you have to order them from Korea. Its sad.

So much promise, but totally unsafe to drive

I rented this car (not sure which sedan) for three days, and observed a number of problems with it. The most noticeable was the poor safety on two counts. One is that if you are driving uphill at night and you have on your dim headlights, the road in front of you for a FEW feet is clearly lit, but there will be a line across the road partway up, and above this line, it is pitch black! If you have an oncoming car, this can be a fatal hazard, and even without an oncoming car, I consider it an unacceptable safety hazard. The other safety problem I noticed was that the car doors lock when the car is in motion, and these CANNOT be overridden. The problem here is that if you are driving in a desert climate when it's hot, presumably the air conditioner will be running and all the windows rolled up. If you get into an accident, presumably the air conditioner will not keep running, or the manual door open lever working, and it is not clear that it will be possible for someone to open the door to extract a person. If you cannot open the door, then all the occupants (driver, passengers) can easily die of the heat in only 10 minutes. If they need to fetch a Jaws of Life, you're cooked. I routinely keep my door unlocked, while locking all other doors, for precisely this reason, which is what is recommended. It is not up to the CAR to make this decision. The occupants should make it. I rated the car one star because safety is paramount. I found the gearshift and some of the other controls (and their locations) less than intuitive, and drove for a fair distance in 2nd gear before I knew why the car was racing. The gear is displayed on the dash, but unless you happen to know that is what is being displayed, it's easy to be confused. The path of the gearshift lever was less than obvious to me. I also had trouble locating other controls, such as the lever that unlocks the gas cap. Since I was renting the car, I didn't have access to the manual to figure these things out. The size of the clock display was rather small when the radio was turned on. And when you are not operating the car, you can't see the clock at all. The trip meter button's function was less than obvious until I actually tried it, and I was wondering where the mileage is located, but I liked some of the information I got from pressing it repeatedly. The range in miles is useful, but if you put a gallon of gas into the tank, it doesn't increase the range. It just decrements more slowly. That was disconcerting. It's a rather spunky car compared to my 1992 Volvo, but it took some getting used to, in terms of handling. One feature I did like was the variable power steering assist: easy at slow speeds, stiffer at higher speeds. It was the only feature I really liked. Other than that, it was pretty nondescript, and the ride was rough: I could feel every bump and crack in the road. I don't like a cushy feel, but that was a bit much. The lack of ability to see the front end of the car was disconcerting.

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!

I bought it at 41000 miles and it's now at 94000 miles 2 years 4 months later. The only maintenance it has needed is new brake pads and rotors, new tires before last winter, and regular oil changes. The acceleration isn't great but you get what you pay for. Braking is fantastic and it handles sharp turns very well, I've never gotten in a crash even in unpredictable situations. There's no Bluetooth but there's an aux port so who needs it really, anyway. Heat and AC are still doing great. I consistently get 28mpg in cities/towns, 31 on short highway drives, and 38 on long 4-hour drives. My dad is 6'4" and fits comfortably in this car. My friend is 5'3" and I taught her how to drive in this car too. I'm very happy with it, this was a good choice for my first car.

I have a 6 Speed because I love my stick. Any how... I have 53000 miles and the car is now 4 months beyond the 6yr warranty and guess what??? The air conditioner takes a poop! So I take it to the dealership (do not have work done there, it is 3x as much money). Now I am getting quotes to have it fixed and am told that the compressors are bad on most of these cars. Replacement is between $1850 and $1180 one has a 3 yr warranty and the other has a 2 yr warranty. Want to know why they are so expensive... Well they have to order the parts from Korea. Hummmmm... I have had a previous 2003 Accent Hatchback 5 speed and the air was strong until her death in 2015. Looks like auto's now a days don't last like they used to. What a shame to fudge on quality for quantity..... and what is really sad is our children and grand children will have throw away cars in the future....that will cost them an arm and a leg...
