For short individuals & only personal use. A great first car for new drivers.

Performance really good on gas takes $30 to fill up to full. Very affordable since I am a college student. It's not high tech it more of an basic model. It's a two door vehicle. Everything on this car is operated manually except the windows surprisingly.

Great Gas Mileage Go Cart

I really like my car. I have come to liking it the more the years go by, since I have had the chance to see how much money I can save on the great gas mileage the car has. On top of the gas mileage, as far as maintenance goes, this car has been a dream, nothing more than an oil change here and there, an occasional rotation of the tires and no problems to see.

Teresa M

Must wear seatbelt and no eating in it.

I love my vehicle. It is great on gas. Its comfortable and rides great. Not one thing I dislike. My next purchase of a vehicle will also be a Hyundai.

Shawn R

Super dependable will never leave you stranded quality machine

Never had any problems with it. Runs smooth great on gas!!

Krystal Y

In my Eyes best vehicle I've ever purchased!

Always reliable, fits every member of my family, comfy, great gas mileage, heated seats that I love during winter time! Has always run great and has light indicator for when lights get left on or if I have a low tire pressure, or if my battery is connected wrong or battery level low. All back seats fold up for storage and can store a lot inside back of my vehicle.. Definitely will stick with Hyundai because they have always been easy to figure out if I have a problem, even comes with a book to help identify features and safety regulations!

Crystal B

Highly recommend Hyundai Accent. This vehicle is very reliable and long lasting.

This car is excellent. It drives great and gets about 40 mpg. I have owned my car for 13 years and only ever had to have minor repairs done.

James B

Excellent automobile for the price.

Easy maintenance on the car. Very few problems. Good gas mileage. Great for getting around the city and taking short trips.

Hillary L

It drives well and is a good value

It has never given me any real trouble and I've had it for almost 13 years.

Negative Owner Reviews

jordan K

The car is a good first car had blind spots that can be scary to new drivers.

The seats aren't too comfortable, and the road noise is quite loud. I feel like I'm all over the road. However it is a great first car! The car also has cute interior lighting however the stereo is very outdated. I'd like to get a new stereo to it, to make it more new

Craig M

Was inexpensive and good mileage.

Back doors no longer open. Good gas mileage. Gas indicator (float) doesn't always work, so check engine light is always on. 164K miles and fairly reliable transportation.

Ryan H

The car is a good car good commuting to work with the gas mileage it has.

I like the car size. Good on gas and parts are relatively cheap. Bad transmission and electrical problems.

PAMELA T

GOOD GAS MILEAGE ON A TRIP SOUTH FOR THE WINTER - OH TO SC TO FL TO LA TO GA

REASONABLE GAS MILAGE -- EASY TO MANEUVER - ELECTRIC WINDOWS USABLE FOR SERVICE ANIMAL BUT NOT RELIABLE

Edith P

It is drives pretty smooth when it is not shaking.

It is okay. It breaks down from time to time. But it gets me from place to place and my gas mileage is not to bad.

Rebecca C

That iui t is rrliable

Good little car reliable just problems with normal stuff

james B

It has been a reliable mode of transportation

I like the gas mileage it has been a pretty reliable vehicle little things have broken and needed repairing but overall it has held up

Jeremiah C

It is a small car that runs okay and gets me from place to place.

Like: it is a small car with a hatchback and it has a manual transmission.. Dislike: it does not have a lot of power when the AC is running, plus it is rusty because I bought it in Ohio and used it there for 8 years.

It's Small ,low cost , and reliable

It's a smaller car if you have long legs or teenager this car is not for you if you are looking for a car that fits a small budget now I have had a few problems with it at 48,000 miles my time belt broke and the clutch went down the same time and the cat broke around 130,000 miles but this car has been good and reliable and was not expensive to fix I wish it had better cup holders

Laura B on February 11, 2021

It drives great on the highway.

I like the gas mileage. I like the way the car handles. It is cute. I do not like the seat belts. I do not like the small trunk. I do not like the door locks. Two are already out of service.
