2006 Hyundai Accent Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

My family member bought this used at a dealership when it was 1 yr old at a Toyota Dealership with 30,000 km. He brough it home & all 4 tire's were bald..mud underneath the underbody...where to begin...My 1989 Lincoln Continental Signature Series, my Dad's 1987 Chrysler Lebaron 2 door sport's car all had abs brakes, however his Accent top of the line GLS sedan did not. Since day one this car was complete& utter garbage. The heater would come on & off, under it 100,000km warranty the Hyundai dealership countfind anything wrong with it, however after the warranty I get the bill for over $1,000 to replace the motor switch! I paid$250 every time to get my brakes done at the dealership which they never did no work at all, i took it to my mechanic, just wore out the Accent brakes to the rotor's get job Hyundai Dealership! So that was $1,300 job. This Accent just loves to spend more time being fixed up than to be driven.A truck backed into it, his insurance company wrote it off buy hey my Borther had no timefind another car so he tells the Insurance Adjuster to fix it, At 100,100 km his transmission went on it after I spent $1,000 at the Hyundai Dealership replacing all of his fluids in the vehicle. Nor would they take any responsibility for it either! The plastic rims r $125 to buy from the dealership & r cheap & they crack easily even if u hit a curb. Part;s r expensive. Just was the worst car/import I've ever driven, Then his wheel bearing on the driver's side went. This car will not last at all, our's the engine oil was going to sludge already in the winter time - $600 we spent each time to repair it, so after 6 yrs of driving it with the check engine light on the piston finally blown his engine. This car has a 1.6 L engine which mean's u will get stuck in the winter time, without ABS u will slide into the curb, a metal bridge deck, another car, ect. Leaving witha $2,000, the rims r $350 from the dealership, the front suspension, the shocks, the struts, the inner tie rod components do not last as this is the most basic car ever built for this wonderful South Korean junk. If u purchase this vehicleu r buying one thing u r buying another person's trouble, Kia is the same as well. Buy a Toyota or aLexus & u will see that just a Toyota Camry can go for 257,000 km on the same engine & the same transmission, it burn's no oil at all. Just a extremely reliable Japanese well built sedan. They go for 500,000 km to 1,000,000 km with no problem's whatsoever! When u sell it they have the highest resale value of any vehicle on the road's today, there r more Toyota's 20 yrs& older worldwide than by any other car manufacturer!

Like that it is a small car. Also like that I can see over the hood of the car because it gives me more confidence when driving it. Has a large trucks that serves my needs. I have no specific dislikes.

Good performance, mileage is good, good comfort for long drive, less maintenance is needed, good interior

Very safe vehicle. Reliable. Holds up well. I am overall pleased. Easy to drive. Good gas mileage. I've had the car for a while now and honestly can't think of any complaints. I would say it's a pretty comfortable car. Not the most comfy but decent. Smooth feeling

I have enjoyed my car for over 12 years. I have had to have the transmission worked on/replaced about 9 years in, but only typical car maintenance and a small recalled switch that was connected to the rear brake lights. Very satisfied with this vehicle.

Bought car 2 years ago. Reliability is good. Good gas mileage. No problems yet. Comfort is alright, interior is not too comfortable because cheaper material. Does not have electric window, manual. Space is good. Not too roomy. If large person, this car will be too small, leg room small. Trunk space is small, but sufficient. Four door, is nice feature. Car size is small, no parking problems.. Height is low, make seeing over car for incoming traffic difficult..

I like that it has a USB port. I feel like I've had more issues with this car than my previous car though

I have a 2006 Hyundai accent and absolutely love the gas mileage on it. It is perfect for small family or someone would like to travel a lot. Only problem would be that it is really small in inside but like I said, great for small family or one owner, but overall great car.
