Used 2016 Hyundai Accent SE 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 6M) Consumer Reviews

Look and drive like a brand new car

We purchased this car in December 2017 for my birthday. My husband and I are moving overseas and we are selling the Hyundai Accent and keep the KIA Sportage. We love both cars. If we didn't have to move we wouldn't sell the Hyundai. Even though it is a 2016 vehicle, it runs and looks like a brand new Hyundai Accent or better. It's a well maintained, updated on services, no accident, no dent, no tear, clean, 49,000 low mileage, beautiful candy apple red beautiful car. Whoever the future purchaser of this car is the most luckiest person in the world to have such a perfect well maintained vehicle.

One up from a skateboard

I traded my 2006 Hyundai Accent for this 2016 Hyundai Accent and unfortunately the 2006 is a better car; better in quality, gas mileage, and comfort. The 2016 doesn't even come with a spare tire, nor tools to change it. You have to call roadside assistance, wait an hour, because the car don't come with a spare, they tow you to a repair facility. The car has a economy switch that you can push on to get better fuel economy, but it gets better fuel economy, with the switch off. My 2006 got better mph (34 mph) the 2016 (32 mph) The inside of the trunk and the lid is only primered, like they just gave up. The seats are hard and uncomfortable. The car is probably the worst manufactured car ever made. I now have 17000 miles on this 2016 Accent, and my second impression of this Accent hasn't been any better. Besides no spare tire, and the hassle that presents, this car came with nitro in the tires; So, when one of my tires is low, you cant go to the service station and put air in it, you have to go to an authorized nitro replacement station and get it pumped up. This nitro refill doesn't consist of one squirt of nitro, its deflating all tires and refilling them (and paying 30.00 dollars to do so). I cant believe Hyundai would even think of such a thing, a simple review online of nitro reveals that it has minimal effect. Hyundai did away with the spare tire to impress US Government regulators on the Accents gas mileage, but I don't know what Accent they used to provide figures, but this Accent I drive gets horrible gas mileage, while delivering poor engine performance. I have 24000 miles on the car now. I finally got brave and took it out past 6 pm. I find that the angle of the roof makes it hard to see out of the car at night. The fourth of a mirror on the driver side that helps with the blind side is worthless at night. The car has severe wind and road noise on the inside that constantly has you thinking that either the window or the door is open. The car still gets unacceptable gas mileage and is just a poor quality produced car.

A good starter car

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.

sold brand new baby for another brand new baby,

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.
