I bought my 2016 Hyundai Accent new and still own it with 84k miles. I have had not one issue with this car at all. Power is adequate, fuel economy is excellent, 35 was the lowest and 48.8 was my highest. I just changed the oil and I checked the front and rear brakes which are originally and they'll both go 150k miles easily if there are no problems with the rotors or calipers. The car is wearing great, paint still shines nicely and the seats show no wear. The spark plugs are still original and won't need replacing for another 10k miles. Another thing to note is there's no timing belt to replace. Hyundai now uses all chains which will save you $500-$800 every 60k miles. All in all if you're looking for cheap transportation, this car delivers.

The Hyundai Accent is a very good entry level auto. The particular car we bought is "plain vanilla" but it is reliable transportation for basic everyday commuting. The 60 month/60,000 mile second owner factory warranty makes buying it used a good value. (We ended up with 24,000 miles and 3 years left). The 100,000/10 year new car warranty is definitely a good reason to buy new. You have no worries about repairs (should they ever be necessary) for a very long time.

I am having problems with the instrument panel!!!!. The panel will go out at will which shuts down all instruments ie odometer,speed.etc. I have had at 2 different dealers they can not find the problem. Will go off at will. No problems with the above matter since taken to a dealer in Pa. in Dec. of 2016. Still my baby. Sold baby for 2021 baby.
