Hyundai is the best car I have ever owned.
Runs great has great on gas. Lots of trunk room, and can seat 5, with gas prices being so high one tank of gas can last me almost 2 weeks of running around, also a very nice looking car, used to have a van but as soon as I got my Hyundai loved it so much got rid of the van.

The back seat is very small.
My Accent is very low maintenance. All I ever have to do is change the oil. It gets great gas mileage. It was also very affordable.
accountCircle Amy R
It is basic. There are no super fancy features on my car, but that is not a complaint.
This is a new vehicle that I have had for about 3 weeks now. Has fantastic gas mileage and all around good car.

It's a small hatchback, but four doors. It drives very nice. It was affordable. It's great on gas. It is very low maintenance.
Affordable car with very low maintenance and great gas mileage.
accountCircle Josie L
Easy going car that's great with gas.
I do not have many problems with my car. My car runs well. I have drove her all around the states and she still runs the same as when I started leasing her. She's great on gas, drove 5 hours straight before stopping to gas her up. Maintenance is pretty easy to handle when it comes to cost.

Accent A Great Car to Buy.
I love my car it is great on gas and since I am the second owner I would say the car was in great shape. I would have to say that the previous owner took great care of the car. I would say yes this is a great car for anyone who is looking for a bargain.

Hyundai Accent - performance, honest review.
I love my car. It's fuel efficient, and gas is on the cheaper end. It runs well, and I've has zero problems with it over the last few years. The only thing I've has to do with it is getting new tires, because the dealership sold it with not as quality ones. I like that the car is compact and small, good for one person to drive, or couples that do not have children to travel in. It's the perfect size.
accountCircle scott s
Very low entry cost and very low cost of ownership.
I love the gas mileage it gets. I love how reliable it is, not a single repair in 70k miles. I love how cheap it was to purchase.

Negative Owner Reviews

accountCircle Abigail C
Cheap car, but too light for highway travel.
Vehicle is very light. Hard to drive in the highway or at fast speeds. Feels like it is pushed on the road by passing vehicles. Can also be hard to drive in windy conditions. Comfy interior, but trunk tire well broke after moderate trunk use. Decent for price though.
accountCircle Nikki K
Too many issues with this car.
Too many problems to name. I've had to replace the alternator, the brake pedal squeaks, it has a sound that sounds like a diesel engine. I can't tell if my eco is working because the car still takes in a lot of gas. The list goes on. This car is not for me.
accountCircle Bob H
Car has major issues, sucks.
The car has what I call a stalling issue which has caused accidents and near accidents. Dealer says cant find anything, other people with accents only have issues. Has other issues to like fender falls off if hit bump. Window rattles etc. I would never buy another accent again especially from lester glenn.

BURNING OIL ISSUES
As I heard from a car mechanic most accent cars will have burning oil issues (engine problem ).
accountCircle Kira H
Hyundai Accent 2014 very basic car
It's too small and basic. I'm wanted something bigger with more features like Bluetooth, back up camera, etc. My car is very boring and basic, but the car is reliable and extremely good on gas, but I have a toddler! He's getting so big so we both need additional room.
accountCircle Jennifer M
The bumpers are cheap and plastic yet expensive to repair.
I like size and color and not many mechanical problems. The body is cheap and falling apart. The interior is c**p and It's uncomfortable.
accountCircle Stephanie D
Way too small for anyone with a family or considering one
It is far too small for my needs. My family doesn't fit in it. It runs well but that isn't enough.
accountCircle Diana C
Slow, gutless and uncomfortable.
I have had problems with the tire pressure light and the engine lights coming on when nothing is wrong. I have to floor it to get up a hill, it just will not go. The front seats are so uncomfortable that when you get to where you are going your back hurts.

Good gas mileage. I've had no real issues with it.
I have had very good luck with this vehicle. It is great on gas. I do wish it had a little more space/room in it. I have only had to replace tires and oil change. I have used the accent to go on family vacations across country and had no issues. It cost me under 100$ to get from New York to Florida. By far it's been the best vehicle I have ever owned.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Lisa W.

This car gets great gas mileage. It is small, so it is easy to maneuver. It is easy to maintain. The price is great too. It is a very comfortable vehicle. It looks great. You can subscribe to Sirius Satellite so you can listen to what you want at an affordable price.

likeFilled Karla S.

It is reliable. I have hardly needed any work done on it. The seats fold down, making it pretty spacious. It can fit 2 full size car seats. 4 Doors are nice. I had a 2 door previously. It is not too hard to keep clean.

likeFilled Debbie Y.

The car gets very good gas mileage local and highway. It is a very reliable vehicle. Very good warranty and the service department is exceptional. Plenty of room in the hatchback for four sets of golf clubs.

likeFilled Bob L.

Good gas mileage easy to get in and out of places. Very dependable on have done oil changes so far.. Easy to clean because of the size. No engine noise easy to park very quiet. No blind spots when trying to change lanes.

likeFilled Jessica L.

It is small, easy to drive-parallel parking is a breeze. Haven't had any problems with engine yet at 86k miles. It is quiet when you drive, everything works great. The trunk is spacious for groceries/travel. The back seat fits my baby's car seat just fine without blocking window/mirror views.

likeFilled Tamara G.

Good on gas easy to park, can drive long distances, and nice space for someone who does not want a huge car. It does not need much maintenance and it has good space in the trunk. It can fit animals in it as well.

likeFilled Avery B.

It is a smooth drive with good brakes. Once it gets going it drives very well at high speeds. The steering is easy and it gets good mileage. I really like the design of the car, and for a small vehicle it fits a decent amount of objects when the seats are put down. The hatchback features allows good transport of small furniture.

likeFilled Victoria S.

Great gas mileage, survived collision at 50 mph (safe), no engine problems after 6 years of driving, cheap tires, easy oil changes, long life of batteries, interior stays intact, no ripping or falling ceilings.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Lisa W.

Some may think it does not have enough room. It would not be suitable for a large family. There are not any other cons that I can think of about this vehicle. It is a great car and worth every penny.

dislikeFilled Karla S.

Sight lines are not very good. Not enough space for my family of for. Would be best for people that do not have small children. The back seats are slanted so car seats need a folded up towel or pool noodle to be sitting at the right angle, which when you are putting your newborn in that... Feels unsafe.

dislikeFilled Debbie Y.

The car is a good size but the seats are not terribly comfortable. I had an issue with the air conditioner and fan quit working. It restarted on its own and the service department said they 'never heard of it' and couldn't do anything.

dislikeFilled Bob L.

. Back seat is small for tall adults. Not very roomy. If you are a large person do not buy this car. You will have trouble fitting. Only hold 12 gallons of gas, if you drive a lot you will feel up twice a week. If you're looking for power not the car for you.

dislikeFilled Jessica L.

I do not like that it didn't come with a spare tire. Instead it came with the rubber repair kit, like that is supposed to really help if my tire gets flat. Would have much preferred having a spare. There is not a ton of 'get up and go' power, I do not think you buy this car for that purpose, but sometimes it does seem to take a minute to get going on the freeway.

dislikeFilled Tamara G.

You can feel the winds blowing hard when it's real windy outside. I wish it had more space in trunk. The car is plastic so the exterior can break easily and the brakes squeak when it rains a lot outside which can be frustrating.

dislikeFilled Avery B.

The car has a small engine so it is hard to speed up quickly when getting onto the highway or other major roads. The front is low to the ground so the front gets scratched easily. There is not a lot of foot space for passengers in the back seat. The visibility out the back is not great, especially in bad weather.

dislikeFilled Victoria S.

Very low to the floor, scrapes on bump or railroad track, bumper comes off from every curb parked too close to. No storage space besides the glove compartment, it is a very basic model. One armrest only for the driver. Small rear seat front seat has to be pulled up all the way for toddler in car seat to fit.

Is The 2014 Hyundai Accent A Good Value?

I paid $14000, I think that is a little expensive as I bought it in 2016. I think it should have cost less.

It cost me $10,000, plus interest through my finance company. I do believe it is affordable and a good value.
haley E.
The car cost around 12,000.00. It was a good deal for the money. The car was used but in very good condition.
mike A.
It was $14000.00, No I did not think it was a good value. I think it should have cost a lot less. But it was the least expensive car I could find at that time.
Terri G.
Mine was about 18,000 dollars. Monthly came about 276 and it was financed with a low Apr, it was a good value for the car and features
