Excellent first car choice.
I currently drive my daughters Hyundai accent. It really rides smooth and very low on mileage. It comes with power steering drive and cruise control. Excellent compact car for seniors or college students. The trunk has a hatchback and rear window wipers.
accountCircle Lesley N
This vehicle is great for small family road trips.
The performance of the car is great, there is hardly any problems with it. A great car for someone who is just starting to drive, or for someone who is just starting to learn how to drive. It is a very reliable car, you will hardly have any problems with it.

The most important thing others should know about my car is that it is safe for the whole family.
I like to drive my car, it runs smoothly. It is fun and elegant and the whole family loves it. I love the shiny color.

My baby and me! Perfect for short or long trips! Great gas mileage!
I really enjoy this vehicle. It is basic transportation. No fuss, no frills! My car does not have cruise control. But, it gets me from point A to point B! Perfect for running errands to the store, doctor, church, and to the mall. This vehicle is perfect for local use! It can even drive on the highway, excellent gas mileage!

Hyundai Accent the perfect car.
The car was very nice, I did experience a dead battery within the first month but the dealership replaced it at no cost so everything turned out alright. This car is wonderful, cute and the perfect size for me and my daily activities. Perfect trunk space for groceries and the backs seats are perfect to fold down and take my dogs with me anywhere.

It's very cost efficient to maintain. Cost to fill from empty is reasonable compared to other cars in the same category
Love the fact that it is very efficient on gas. Small tank = small cost to fill up. No complaints so far

The Hyundai accent is an amazing, reliable car.
My Hyundai accent is in amazing shape. I have not had any major problems with this car since I got it in 2016. I had a minor belt issue that was fixed immediately and haven't had an issue since then. It drives amazing, feels amazing and the inside is as clean as it was when I got it. The only issue inside is that the air conditioner is starting to not work a little, it turns on and is cold for a while and then it will turn to a neutral, but in this Florida heat it makes it hot inside so I have to turn it off and on again for it to work correctly.

I think people should know that it's fuel efficient and great for suburban/urban driving.
I like how compact it is, because it can fit just about anywhere. It gets great gas mileage. I fits everything I need. My only complaint is that it's so low to the ground that my rearview mirror makes headlights look blindingly bright at night.

Small sedan with a few features.
The car I currently drive is a good first car for those who want to build up their credit score and wants a small sedan style too. -the mpg is 28 city / 38 highway, I personally do not agree. The most I have gotten on highway is 23 mpg, not happy with it. -reliability is good, i'd rate it as a 8/10. Their are not many issues with it mechanically either as long as you keep up with the check-ups. -comfort wise, it is basic as it gets. No electronic front seats, no lumbar support. -features: Bluetooth capability, USB connections, CD player, auto-lights (led headlights), cruise control, music control due to speed, rear window defrost a windshield defrost.

2015 Hyundai Accent, with eco drive.
Thought it would be a good first car when I strayed to drive it more often I began to notice things I really didn't like about that car. When driving uphill the car forces itself to hard on its engine and makes it more difficult to accelerate. The seats inside the car are super uncomfortable. The way the body of the car was made makes it very hard to check over your shoulder for other cars. Would not recommend car.
accountCircle Rikki C
Hyundai accent perfect commuting car.
Great commuter car. Awesome on gas mileage if you are driving far for work or school. I have never had any performance issues with my car. Comfort and style are very basic. There are no fancy features in this car, not even cruise control. Overall I would suggest this car if you commute a lot.
accountCircle Cheryl F
It has great gas mileage for the city and highway travel cheap to fill-up.
I don't like the fact that each front seat does not have arm rest and the car had no air vents in the back.
accountCircle Graham N
Good starter car, with very good gas mileage and decent performance.
Had a fuel pump sensor issue with the computer system. Fairly comfortable and fun to drive. Interior is nice and fairly spacious, which is surprising for such a small vehicle. Gets very good gas mileage on the highway, and midrange gas mileage in the city.
accountCircle Amanda M
Decent cheap car for students.
My vehicle is really good on gas, very low maintenance. However is has low technology, everything inside of it feels cheap. It also does not provide a secure feeling while driving. The tires often do not have the best traction. It is a good car for a teenager's first car/college student but it is not the end car you want. It is the car that you drive while you are working your butt off to get the car that you really want.
accountCircle dan k
It's incredibly fuel efficient and a great daily driver.
This car is great on gas, you can drive nearly 400 miles on a full 12 (?) gallon tank. It will comfortably fit 3 in the back, as long as they're children, and will even fit a child car seat. The problem with this car stems from its small size. People often do not see it on the highway and I'm afraid it wouldn't fare well in an accident.
accountCircle Jacob S
Efficient but shoddy, overall a middling vehicle
My Accent is rather efficient, but needs frequent oil changes and has next to no clearance. If there is a rock of distinguishable size or a speed bump in front of the car, it will hurt. Already had to get chassis repair twice and I've only had it 2 years.

Most reliable affordable car.
I love my red Hyundai accent 4 door hatchback. It has been my most reliable car mechanically. I do think the tires wear a little too fast. I would love to have leather interior. Pet friendly. Easy access for big hauls. The hatch is a great size to move any larger objects. We put a dresser with the seats down.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Stephanie S.

It is sleek, stylish and runs great! It is great on gas and drive smooth enough for an economy car. It has a good acceleration rate. I haven't had any problems with it. I would purchase another one like it in the future.

likeFilled Alanna T.

It is a good car for travel, and I have had very few car troubles with this vehicle over the years. The car has a good trunk size and is a compact but not too small vehicle. Also, it receives good mileage on highways which is something I was looking for.

likeFilled Bradford G.

I think it is affordable. It has high gas mileage and a relatively low overhead cost (cost to buy). Good trunk space too! Overall good fit and fine for a few people to ride in. Another small one is that it's key alarm works from a very long distance- helpful for navigating parking lots.

likeFilled Dallas G.

It runs great, comes with 100k mile warranty and is great on gas also. I have really enjoyed this vehicle and would encourage anyone to take a Hyundai for a test drive and see if it works for you and your family.

likeFilled Donna C.

The car is sporty and is fun to drive. The car has plenty of legroom and is very spacious. The car handles well and gets excellent gas mileage. The car has a large trunk with plenty of room for luggage or groceries.

likeFilled Tiana W.

It is small, but also roomy. It also fits four people comfortably but can fit five if needed. The sleek black color makes this car look like a luxury car. It matches my personality. It also give me many miles per gallon, so I do not need to stop for gas as often.

likeFilled Rita A.

This car has been great! Maintenance has been easy. No big issues with the car. Small and easy to drive. No bells and whistles, but that is how I like it. Overall I would definitely buy this make and model again! Very easy to drive.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Stephanie S.

It does not have Bluetooth, back up camera, etc. It is very lacking in tech features and features in general. It is not a good car for winter and does not have all wheel drive like some small cars do nowadays. It is a very basic car. You get what you pay for I guess.

dislikeFilled Alanna T.

The car is very loud on the road, especially as the speed increases. I have noticed that the car goes through oil very quickly, which can be a pain when trying to make long distance trips. This may just be my car but I have had issues with my dashboard screen and random things lighting up.

dislikeFilled Bradford G.

A bit touchy on the gas and handling. Not very resilient in the event of a crash. Still relatively small, so it is definitely not fit for a family car. I don't really have any other complaints, it is a solid vehicle.

dislikeFilled Dallas G.

The only issue I have found is the resale value of Hyundai's are not quite as good as Hondas or Toyotas. But, if you plan to keep your vehicle for some time this won't matter anyway. I encourage anyone to give one a try.

dislikeFilled Donna C.

The car is only a four cylinder so it does not have a lot of pickup. Also I have had a problem with an electrical short in the front passenger side turn signal which causes it not to work. Not a lot of legroom in back seat.

dislikeFilled Tiana W.

I do not really see any cons in this vehicle. The only thing is my trunk is broken and does not stay open but that has nothing to do with how the car was first purchased. I really have nothing whatsoever to complain about with this car.

dislikeFilled Rita A.

Size - it is compact. There are very few luxury items on board. It is not very comfortable for long trips. Can carry only 4 adults fairly comfortably. Very low to the ground, so not good for driving over dirt roads. Not heavy duty, so you hear lots of road noise.

Chelsey D.
The accent has a nicer interior for the segment, and its base engine moves the car well in most situations. I do not get any problem.
David D.
Yes, it does. With de a/c system and the exterior paint. Now, some weird noise is worrying me. I do not know where's the problem.
Ed A.
It is very reliable with no major issues. I change my oil every 3000 miles and take good care of it.
Wendy C.
Yes, And I had a few kinda small problems. But after 3 years of having the car, my catalytic converter went bad and that was really it.

Very reliable. Not major issues. The battery did die after a couple years of my usage, but that most likely has to do with me living in Florida.

Apt 9 thousand. Yes it is a great value and I love the value. I feel like I got a steal. Overall a good car.

Ed A.
I bought my accent used. It was 9000$ with the manufacturer warranty still on it. I think it was a great value.
Wendy C.
I paid over what I should’ve paid ?? unfortunately. The car isn't worth a lot at all whatsoever. Not worth more than 10-11,00
Jim R.
I paid about 10,000 for it one year used. It is a good value if you need a reliable transportation. Again, it is not a fancy or sports type vehicle, but it does what I need it to do.
