It gets me to where I need it to every single time.

Great gas mileage. Good quality. Small and fast.

Lou K

It's really c**p on gas 20 a week to week and a half of driving.

Pros.. Are it's good on gas cheap on replacement pairs. If you do up keep you won't have problems with the car. I have had mine since 2011 it's kept up with all the driving I do. Best little car for the money. I am buying another one soon. Cons. Really aren't any I love my car.

Michele B

Good little car as far as gas.

I really didn't have any problems with it until this last year. I had to replace the starter, and put my 2nd set of tires on it. They do have a tendency to rust above the wheel wells and bottom doors as it gets older.

Lisa K

Economic, sturdy, dependable and fun to drive.

I really like my Accent, it is small and comfortable, drives easy, has really good performance has great power, is basic no bells and whistles, it get really good gas mileage, inside construction has held up really good. It's 2004 and I have had very few repairs. It I could afford a new one I would buy one.

L J

It's a women's car and I love it.

It rides nice and let's out cool air. A good engine nice seats and since having it for 3 years I have had no problems.

Sydney Q

If a small car is for you this is it.

My car is nice and small. It drives amazing, almost never have problems with it. You can fit up to five people in it but only has two doors. It has a hatchback trunk. It is very easy to clean due to being so small. If you like small cars this is the one for you!

Larry R

It has a good heavy suspension and takes years before you encounter problems. The engine seems to last for the total life of the car, which is at least 15 years.

I like the price, it gets good gas mileage, very rarely does it have mechanical problems even when it is older. This model is a little harder to work on then the previous model I owned, because the underside is lower to the ground.

Katherine H

That it is a 6 cylinder and I drive it to fast.

I like everything about my vehicle. I do not dislike my vehicle. My car must be old but it is in pretty good shape.

Negative Owner Reviews

Tori M

Old car! Would love a new one.

It is older, so it's not a good looking car. It used to be reliable but a lot of censor issues have started.

John m

Whenever you need to get something fixed it will cost around 400 dollars

It is expensive to maintain the gas mileage is ok!

Amy D

It really does drive and run well. And it gets decent gas mileage.

It drives and runs well. My dislikes are all internal. The seats are so uncomfortable, and its generally just cramped when you are in it. Even when you are driving alone.

Mike H

Old but reliable runs well, but not much to look at.

It is old, but it still runs very well. No air. Needs a shock. Inside worn but very functionable. 220, 000 miles. Rust on both rear bumpers. Spout to gas tank leaks, must use marathon pump to bypass leak in gas tank spout. Car does run very well, and it is very good to get to and from work.

Melissa W

It has its engine frame near the front fender.

It's reliable and gets good gas mileage. AC will not hold a charge. Transmission gets rough after it gets a couple of 10,000 miles on it. Seats a comfortable. Electric locks do not function as they're supposed to. Has great heat and seat warmers. Roomy and comfortable

Kay J

If you're looking for a budget, friendly car

Good car if you keep up on the maintenance. Will get you to and from for a long time. I've just recently started having radiator problems now, which affects other parts of the car. Other than that, this is really dependable vehicle I'm still able to drive it around town, until I'm able to replace the vehicle.

Alexis E

For me it is a good car, not expensive and still work perfect is 2004.

The materials are very cheap what i like about the car is not very expensive, in gas as well

Christal F

This small car will get you where you are going and at a much smaller cost than most.

Engine and running abilities have been awesome the air conditioner has just recently played out. As far as comfort honestly there isn't any it's a very small car but makes up for that with it's wonderful ability to save your pockets on gas as it is definitely a gas saver and gets around 24-26 miles to a gallon

It is comfortable and beautiful.

The only complaint I have is the engine is a little loud. I used to drive a van and I couldn't hear the engine.

Larry J on February 25, 2021

A very good car with lots of features for the low price.

This car is very good on fuel, it takes many years before parts have to be replaced, very reliable and the engine lasts forever it seems. It rides very smoothly and has a good heavy duty suspension. A comfortable car with many features for the price.

Is The 2004 Hyundai Accent A Good Car?

It is a reliable car that doesn't require much service. On the other hand, I don't know if it will last as long as some other makes (I.e. Honda)

Yes I believe it is, and I am not going to talk negative because I don't need it to break down on me
