Review

What a Surprise just bought my Hyundai Accent 07 as a second car. I was looking for an affordable 2nd form of transportation as I own a Jeep Wrangler that was somewhat pricey to buy and pricey to drive at 15 mpg. I love my Hyundai Accent SE already! It handles well with the 16 in tires and sport suspension. Power windows, mirrors, and locks; 10/100,000 power train, roadside assistance and a real smooth ride all for a great price. Good job Hyundai not as fun to drive as my Jeep in the Summer but surprisingly very close and for half the price. I am very happy. The only down side so far is it is a little sluggish on the hills with the AC running but that is what I expected for a 1.6l gas sipper

Favorite Features

Power everything, 16 inch Tires with the spots suspension, Road side assistance and good performance with a smooth ride. Good job Hyundai

Suggested Improvements

1.6 liter is a little sluggish on hills but this is a fair trade for a fuel sipping car. Put the drink holders in a better spot next time right now they seem to be in the way and hard to reach at times.

Review

I have had my '07 Accent for over a year, and have put 22,000 miles on it. So far I have not had any problems, mechanical or otherwise. After the break-in period I have been averaging 36-40 mpg in mostly highway driving. The car is roomy for two people, is very easy to drive, and everyone comments on how it looks (most girls think it's "cute"; most guys think it's "ugly"; but at least it's getting noticed, which is more than you can say for most of the cars in this price range). I traded in a full-size vehicle for this little guy, and I couldn't be happier with it.

Favorite Features

Fuel economy; fun-to-drive aspect; the air conditioning is fantastic.

Suggested Improvements

replace the hard-plastic of the elbow rests on the doors with something softer.

I do like the interior, and exterior design it looks sporty, and the orange color i got is pretty cool, sound system is great also!

Hyundai 2007 hatch back

Review

I bought my car in 2007. I have had problems from the beginning. I just wanted to know if anyone else out there has had problems with the car not starting after making a few stops around town? I turn the key but nothing happens. It is almost like the battery is dead but everything else works. After I try for a while the car finally starts. I took it to the dealer, but they cannot seem to find anything wrong with the car. I am very frustrated with the situation. I was stuck in a parking lot for over a half hour . I have finally decided to let them keep the car until they can find what is wrong with it. I am very interested in knowing if anyone else is experiencing this same problem.

Favorite Features

It is roomy on the inside. It gets good gas milage.

Suggested Improvements

Needs more power going up hill. Power windows and locks would be nice. Please add cruise control.

Review

Your advertised m. P. G on sales sticker and email of 33 mpg is wrong. My wife averages 20.5 mpg around town at average speed of 45 mph shopping locally round trip 10 miles 3 or 4 times per week. Have car tested.

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

Have car tested, fuel injectors, fuel computer and every thing to do with air/fuel mixture, brakes, compression tests. Dealer says wait till 10,000 miles.

Review

MPG was low for first 3,000 miles. I am now averaging 33.5 MPG with Automatic while driving 60/40 Highway/Town. I reviewed Fit, Versa, Aveo, Yaris and Mini before purchasing this car and with the improved MPG after break in I am delighted to say I was right. THE cost, reliability, quality and super warranty are superior to all of the aforementioned vehicles. It is not even close. Great Job Hyundai, I wish the American automakers would follow your lead.

Favorite Features

Rims, Gas Mileage, Warranty, Safety Rating

Review

I've had my car for just about a year and a half. It started since day 1 of bringing it into the dealer to have a check engine light looked at. A year and a half later they find out that they had to replace the intake manifold and 7 valves. Now after 3 weeks of getting my car back, I cannot drive it because they FORGOT or RUSHED to hook up the fuel line so gas is Running out of my car when its running. I have to wait to have it towed to the dealer tomorrow to have the FIX what they did. When I can trade this thing in and not be upside down on the car I will. DO NOT BUY!

Favorite Features

NONE

Suggested Improvements

Scrap the car. Its not worth the money

Bad Car!!!

Review

This is the worst car I have ever owned. I had to have the engine replaced 4 months after buying it brand new, and I need new tires already also. The wheel shakes incredibly bad when driving at highway speeds making it nearly impossible to control the wheel when driving on the highway. Extremely unsafe car. I've filed for the lemon law.

Review

I got my accent last year in July. I have about 25000 miles on my car in less than a year. I live in DC but work in Annapolis so that is an average of 64 miles just for work. It is just me and my 4 year old and I absolutely love this car. I drive to New York at least once a month, the last time i was able to drive from DC into NJ then into NY and halfway onto the NJ turnpike on one tank of gas. I went for this car because I know nothing about cars and the best feature is the free road side assistance when you purchase the car as new. The car can also withstand a lot.I have been in two accidents with minimal damage to my car but major damage to the others

Favorite Features

The remote entry, folding rear seats, automatic drivers window

Suggested Improvements

Automatic passenger window, passenger side arm rest

Review

I've owned my Accent SE for a year and now have 25k miles. The car still runs/drives like new. The car has performed flawlessly. It hasn't required one single warranty repair or adjustment. Mileage and performance increased slightly as the engine loosened up with break-in. With 50/50 city/highway, I get 28 when not using winter blend fuel. Luggage capacity is very good with the seats down but rather tight with the seats up. Road noise is average for a compact but the engine does get very buzzy and loud @ 3000+ RPM. Especially when down shifting while climbing a hill. The transmission gear hunts a bit. A little more power would be welcome to match the impressive road holding capabilities!

Favorite Features

Idles dead silent and rips fairly smoothly to red line. Good headroom. Tall doors. Key fob unlocks hatch. Excellent cornering. Impressive stopping distance with ABS/EBD brakes and other safety features lower insurance cost. Rear seat bottom folds up and seat back folds down for LOTS of cargo space.

Suggested Improvements

Higher quality door panels. Mine are badly scratched and marred from normal use and you can't repair them. Add cruise control. Engine noise above 3,000 RPM. Wider hatch opening. Rear parcel shelf that drops when the hatch closes. A wider arm rest. Grade logic for auto tranny. Map light.
