It Is An Economy Car That Has Better Alternatives — Car has no power and is very small. The quality is ok but could definitely be better. The appearance is good from the side and at angles but head on and from the back it looks buggish. it is really cheap though. It is fun through turns but just driving it around town is not very fun. Primary Use: Commuting to work

Does have a couple noises that it has. maintenance has been minimal, except check engine light came on and had to have fuel rails replaced. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

A Cheap Car...you Do Get What You Paid For Afterall — In the past Hyundai Accents have been ridiculed for being both unrewarding to drive along with being riddled with faults. Hyundai have since made serious progress every passing year since the 21st century. The Accent is no exception. To drive the Accent isn't really that interesting, the engine seems to be adequate for most driving applications. To accelerate quickly...it just won't because of the engine's power. What is terrible in the powertrain is the automatic transmission. I haven't encountered a transmission that was so slow to react to gear changes ie. D to R, the transmission seems to forget what it was going for a second. This means the transmission's quality is suspect here and I've already seen a 2000 km Accent go in for repairs regarding the transmission. The interior for the most part is plastic, not much to say since it is a very low priced car. I didn't like the hole in the rear passenger's cup holder(remove the pad and you'll see it), how Hyundai allowed this ugly feature to pass I don't know. Most Hyundai Accents come well equipped but you could get a very base car...which I think is a bad idea. Its quite light and quite fuel efficient, not as great as a Yaris or Fit but still very good. The car does have a few reliability issues with check engine lights and of course the bad automatic transmission. The Accent is the oldest of the lineup as of 2009 and does need a major interior update like the Sonata. Overall its a cheap car but it isn't exactly the best one. | ||

2008 Hyundai Accent — This is a really great car for the price. With the highest horsepower and torque in it's class (110 HP/ 106 TQ) and a low curb weight, this car will supprise you in performance. Build quailty is good and on par with Hyundai's other veichles. Personally, I think it is the best looking hatchback in the class and the only one offered as a 3 door. MPG is great rating 27/33 for a manual transmission and 26/35 for an automatic. With the SE's sport tuned suspension, the car is pretty fun in the twisties. | ||
