Just what I wanted!

2017 Hyundai Accent Value Edition 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 6A)

Purchased this car because I drive approximately 60 miles a day and needed something good on gas, comfortable and easy to drive. This little car was perfect. Although it had 5300 miles when purchased, I have added approximately 1400 since March 2018. The back seat can be a bit cramped if there are really tall people in the front seat. On the highway, the car has a smooth ride and is able to accelerate quickly when needed. The gas mileage is running about where I expected it to be, when using Ecoboost, which is around 34-35 MPG for combined highway and inter city driving. Not using the Ecoboost, for greater performance, the mileage still runs about 32-35 MPG. I have only had the vehicle for a month, but it seems as if it will be a great quality vehicle with acceptable maintenance costs. Warranty and extended warranty purchased through dealership should cover a majority of any problems that may arise between now and the time the loan is paid off. If you are in the market for a sporty looking, economical and comfortable small vehicle, consider the Hyundai Accent.

Cute car but noisy

I've been reading all of the reviews. I am shocked that no one mentioned the excessive cabin noise coming from the road and tires. Everyone tells me that that noise is normal. How can that be normal. I love the style of the car. the size, the roomy interior but that noise is too much for me. I took it back after 7 days. If someone could soundproof it I would go back and get another one. They say that different tires can make a difference. A smaller size, skinnier tires and a thicker side wall and also a different thread could eliminate some of that noise.

I bought a used 2017 Hyundai Accent in January 2019. Have had it a full year now, and fail to understand the lower ratings . . . ? Did they test drive it, and look at existing equipment inside? I noticed tire noise, also, but already knew that purchase of quieter-rated all season tires could resolve that nicely, and was also able to see the available equipment on the test drive. The Accent is a very basic, nicely constructed little car, with huge heart and great giddy up when merging into motorway traffic . . . nice sound system with CD player, too. Would have bought a new one if Hyundai had not discontinued the CD player. Truly appreciative, also, of the long warranty period and great dealer presence. Value for money is truly hard to surpass!

I recently bought a used Accent and I'm pretty happy with my purchase! I got a really good deal on this car and I have a long commute to work everyday so I'm very content with the fuel economy and overall drive of this car. So far the only downsides are how small the gas tank is (but makes for a cheap fill-up) and the fact that it didn't come with cruise control. For what I paid, I'm very happy with this car!
