Hyundai's are reliable cars.
My car is great for single people who need a commuter car. This car was cheap to buy, great on gas and inexpensive to maintain. This car is very reliable in the 9 years that I have had it. I have not had to do any significant amount of work to it :).

I named my car Silver Lightning!
None. This car has great gas mileage. As long as I stay on top of maintenance, it runs like a top! Be sure to change the timing belt and oil. As well as check other fluids. I love this car in the winter super reliable! I had my car close to 10 years and put approximately 230,000 miles on it.

Amazing first car for anyone!
This car is very reliable!! It is small but very good on gas. Very good sound system with amazing seats!! Great first car small gas tank but gets you pretty far! Super easy maintenance and oil changes are not as frequent! Two doors which is difficult with kids!

My car is fantastic a to b car.
Check engine light comes on frequently. Mechanic can not turn off. Do not know why. But great on gas and runs great. Easy car for myself and my daughter to and from work. This car holds up to weather and rough driving. I also drove it across country for 20 hrs and it did great!

Not a lot of legroom. A few other things have had to be fixed.
It has been reliable. Just big enough for what i need. Good gas mileage.

My vehicle is a used car but one person's trash is another person's treasure.
I actually do not have any problems with my vehicle. I love it very much and would recommend it to another person. The features are great.(automatic windows, heated seats, etc.) I am very comfortable in my vehicle the seats are really soft and the car is very spacious. I have to say that my favorite thing about the car is the body color and body style. 10/10 I am very in love with it.
accountCircle Alan W
Classy look: blue and body finish very classic.
Comfortable ride; great gas mileage; no mechanical problems, have owned the vehicle for approximately 9 months; oil changed once, filter changed. Great instrument panel, even warns of tires pressures. Has an eco setting for gas usage. Love the mobile mirrors.
accountCircle Katherine M
It is incredibly reliable. It carries our family of three (and whatever stuff we need for that day) wherever we need to go without an issue.
I really love my car. Even purchasing it pre-owned, it has been the most reliable vehicle my family and I have ever owned. I have owned it just over 3 years, and have had very little maintenance done on it.

Old car but gets me where I am going.
It's a decent car. Gets me where I need to go. No horse power at all but good and reliable. Haven't had too many issues with it. But I've had it a long time and its worn and outdated. The carpet on the floorboard is gone in places and the back seat is off center and uncomfortable.
accountCircle Samantha A
Horrible car not worth it.
I have had to put more work into this car then it is worth. Also the front bumper is to low. Small capacity in the backseat. I couldn't even fit my daughters car seat in it when she was a baby. I had to pull the passenger's seat up to an uncomfortable position.
accountCircle Emma Huard
Do not buy this vehicle, it is completely unreliable
I have put a significant amount of money into this car, and it is probably worth a crisp 5 dollar bill at this point. Power steering has broken twice since I bought the vehicle less than 2 years ago, the starter went at only 150000kms. I’ve now hit 190, the car just never wanted to start and I’ve replaced multiple parts in attempt to fix this yet nothing changes as well the check engine light is quite literally always on. Do not buy this vehicle, keep your money.
accountCircle Chris S
Terrible car. I would not recommend it to anyone.
It breaks down every year. Without warning. Check engine light comes on and the car then stalls out. I feel like I am always having to fix this car. It has very low miles on it, because it breaks down and I do not have the money to fix it until a few months later.
accountCircle Dee C
Struggles to go uphill. This is a huge pain for me.
Struggle to go uphill. Lacks power windows. How does a car in 2010 not have power windows? It is a joke.
accountCircle Kayla C
Overall this is a good little car.
Not many problems, just too small of a vehicle for me. The only maintenance I have had to do is the general maintenance to upkeep the condition of the car. The other complaint I would have is that the gas tank is too small, especially if you are someone who travels a lot. The small gas tank requires you to fill up quite often. The comfort is overall great. There is plenty of trunk space. I did have the driver visor/ mirror break on me and had to be replaced.
accountCircle Jennifer H
The car they should think more about.
Once over a certain mileage so many different things seem to go wrong with the car. Loved in beginning for the gas mileage, but as years go on it gets worst. Many recalls on it and still more coming. Outgrew my kids and I. Good car if not gonna keep for long period of time or plan on putting money in it.
accountCircle David M
That you cannot trust it and it is fun to drive the air is cold and the heat is warm.
It is made poorly. I got a flat tire and the part of the tire that fell off ripped half the bumper off.

You get what you pay for, which is a reliable car with little to no features.
This car has absolutely zero features. You get what you pay for. I got mine very used, so it's falling apart. But considering I paid $1200 I cannot really complain. This vehicle has aux, power windows, power locks. You have to manually adjust your seat. This car does not have a temperature gauge. It gets great gas mileage as well.
accountCircle Dora B on June 17, 2021
Great little car for the money.
This is just a basic vehicle, no frills. Always starts up, runs well even though it has 240,000 miles. Is cheap on gas, maintenance is easy even for an old broad like me. Seats are easy to adjust. Just wish it had power windows. And maybe power door locks.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Ashley S.

The Hyundai Accent is a great compact car. The turning radius is amazing and it gets very good gas mileage both in the city and on the highway. The basic model is easy to use and straight forward. This car is very reliable.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Ashley S.

The negative aspects of the Hyundai Accent are that it is a bit on the smaller side. It is much smaller than the Hyundai Elantra and Hyundai Sonata. If you want a bigger car with more trunk space and bells and whistles, the Accent may not be for you.

Because of its age it is starting to have problems due to everyday wear and tear but has done well for a while without unusual maintenance.

Only problem I had was with the visor falling off in such a way that it hangs in front of your face when you are driving, like, obstructing the view of the road entirely. We duct-taped it to the top... Read More

Very. Like I Said before the brakes feel weird when using but work fine. Little problems here & there but nothing terribly expensive. Has been quite a reliable car

It’s pretty reliable. I bought mine used though, so it could deter on me what is reliable or not. I've only ever had to replace the tires because they were balding and the spark plugs because they... Read More

Is The 2010 Hyundai Accent A Good Value?

The 2010 Hyundai accent cost me $10000. Not its reliable but is affordable. So I think it is a good value.
Won C.
Good value, worth the price, quite comparable to other mid size cars, gets pretty good gas mileage, good legroom for back seat.
Zaynub E.
Back when I bought it the cost was more than it was then due to depreciation. I think it was a good value for the money.
Hailey A.
The 2010 Hyundai Accent was used and cost me $10000, and I think it is worth the value for transportation
Victoria O.
Yes, I did buy 2nd hand. But was a fair cost. And it gets very good gas mileage. And insurance isn't terribly expensive on it.
