I don't really have any complaints. It's been a very reliable car
It's reliable, never had major issues and gets great gas mileage

Size doesn't matter! Small cars can be great!
I like that its fuel efficient and a smaller car. The hatchback on it makes it possible for me to still carry plenty of cargo.

I've had the car for ten years now, runs like a new car.
It is a mechanically sound car. Gets very good gas mileage.

The Hyundai Accent is a smaller car but has plenty of trunk space.
The car in question has troubles with the gas lines, causing it to stall occasionally after fueling it. However, the other parts work well and the car as a whole performs well. The has not broken down since a part was replaced two years ago and is very reliable. The Accent also has working AC and heat, a working CD player, five seat belts, functioning windows, and everything inside provides a comfortable experience.

My Hyundai Accent with hatchback has great gas mileage.
My car is just the right size. It is really good on gas. My car fits my lifestyle very well.

This is a great little car that is very reliable and gets good gas mileage.
I purchased my Hyundai Accent new in 2007. It was a great car for teaching my teenager to drive. Although it is a little smaller than I would like, I mostly drive by myself, so it is not too bad. I use it to drive to & from work each day and also for personal use and I fill it once a week. It gets great gas mileage. I also would have liked to have cruise control (mine does not have it).

Fuel Efficient and Tons of Trunk Space
Though I have an older model, the Hyundai is great for someone who is single or has a small family. The hatchback is a great feature and I always can fit a lot more into my car than people think I can. My car is also manual, which I love.

Fuel economy and low maintenance.
For Its size is very comfortable. It is very economical in fuel usage and maintenance. I've had it for nine years now and it hasn't given me any problems.

Negative Owner Reviews

Good first car for young drivers. To small for my liking.
The car is to small for my liking. Feels like a tight space. Only one arm rest can be very frustrating when two people are in the front seat. When driving on the interstate it feels like the car is being blown around. For such a small car it is still not very good on gas.
accountCircle Kristina T
Beware handles fall off multiple times
The handles have fallen off three times on a two door car.
accountCircle Lavastee W
That this is a cheap option for transportation but it is not one you will enjoy riding in.
I like the size of the car, easy to get around in. I like the fuel economy. I hate the lack of power, and it doesn't seem to be built well.This past 2 weeks, 2 of the door handles broke opening the doors.
accountCircle Diana C
Rarely any problems. To fix parts are not so expensive.
Very reliable. Not so much problems. Smooth and simple to handle. No AUX code to listen to music from your phone. Good size for a small family.
accountCircle Brenda B
The car has issues with the battery shutting down when it gets wet and it seems to be very rough on tires.
Overall it is a good little car but it has a few quirks.the door handles tend to break off either on the inside or outside. I am going through my second inside door handle. The hydrolics on the hatch have gone. I had to replace both visors. All of these things I've been told are common in the accent. The most dangerous is the battery tends to shut down on wet streets
accountCircle Christina C
It is a beat up little finger that keeps me going through life day to day.
I like the small size and the low cost for gas. However my car has been through quite a bit throughout its use and seems to be falling apart (body damage wise) regularly. However it has held on for years longer than expected. I have had really no major issues with it since I have had it and it is a pretty comfortable little ride.
accountCircle Ellen G
It has enough space for three passengers; but not a lot of room for storage.
The accent has nice handling. Its compact design makes it easy to park in urban areas. It rarely has any issues and is easy to maintain.
accountCircle Beverly S
The back hatch messes up and needs to be replaced. This happened to my daughter's car too, same make and model, but a 2008.
It gets great gas mileage, but something is wrong with the blower making it very hot to drive in the summer

One major issue for the 2007 Hyundai Accent
The 2007 Hyundai Accent is a fairly had efficient car with some zip. The rear axle on the frame is a bit askew with this year. I have needed to shim my rear tires in order to get full wheel alignment. Without shimming the wheels, you will have uneven wear on your tires and would likely need to replace them more frequently.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Matt C.

Pros: it's a slower car so you are less likely to speed in it. There's good gas mileage. Low to maintained. Cons: there's not a lot of legroom in the back. If you are a bigger person it will be hard for you to get in and out of the car even with the front seat set as far back as it can.

likeFilled Jill B.

It is fairly reliable, can fit it into small parking spaces, and a price I could afford. It has a good size trunk. It starts well in cold weather. It is a nice little car to drive. I haven't had any major problems with it so far, even though it is an older vehicle. It is more long lasting than some car models. The heat and air conditioning work well.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Matt C.

Its compact so hard to fit bigger people in my car even with the seats set all the way back. It is outdated has no electric windows or locks or a start button to start the car it leans a little to the right.

dislikeFilled Jill B.

It does not speed up quickly, because it is a smaller vehicle. It does not have anti lock brakes. In the winter, anti lock brakes are definitely a plus where I live. The legroom and space in the car is adequate, but it is not really roomy, so if you are really tall, keep that in mind. It does not ride quite as smoothly as some other, bigger models do.

I think it is been fairly reliable. It is good for a really basic car. Mine does not have any frills, but it gets me where I need to go.
Jill B.
I keep up with maintenance...it's a good car. I've only had 1 issue with this car it was a dead battery. Replaced it and I'm still driving

How Reliable Is The 2007 Hyundai Accent?

The car has not had any problems while we've owned it and has been reliable. You can count on this car to get you to your destination with good gas mileage.
Liza T.
I think most of the problems I have had have to do with the age of the car. I have had to replace some things because the car is over 10 years old.
Jill B.
Its reliable, other than worn interior and the mileage, maybe the A/C could use a tune-up. I'm due for an oil change soon
Lindsay M.

Is The 2007 Hyundai Accent A Good Value?

The Hyundai accent we purchased was $3,000 and used. The price was good and it has held up well. Worth the price and would buy another.

I think it is a good value for a reliable car. I really do not remember how much it cost me then, but it is bound to be less, now. If you can find a well cared for one with low miles, it would still... Read More

About $1000 around the time I bought it in 2017. Depending on the condition of the car maybe a good value
