What owners say
"Owners generally find the 2000 Hyundai Accent to be a reliable and economical choice, especially regarding fuel efficiency and maintenance costs. They appreciate its affordability and small size, making it suitable for new drivers and those needing a budget-friendly option. However, many owners wish for better performance, particularly in higher speed ranges, and a more robust build quality to withstand wear and tear."
As reliable as an original vw beetle if you equip properly. As a rule lower horsepower vehicles should be equipped with manual transmissions. Great used car, if you do more than 80% hi way check out a sonata. Handles the snow great with proper snow tires, decent to average economy for a smaller car but it makes up for it in reliability, and the cheapness of parts/repair work. 280 for a timing belt and less than 500 for a new clutch job, which may seem a lot however we do live in a world where some dealers charger over two grand to do a clutch job. I have put more that 220 000 kms on my accent only changed the belt once, plugs, wires, bulbs and fluids very reliable but i wish the body held up better. Lack of standard read mud guards have rusted out the back wheel rims as is common on most imports. Great car for teenagers/new drivers cause the only way this car will do 100mph is if you push it off a cliff.
March 8, 2011My Accent was a very reliable car and the only major repair was replacing the water pump, which was covered under warranty. I drove it seven years before buying another car and selling it. With gas prices now, I wish I would have kept it.
July 12, 2008$40 to fill, lasts 550 kms, not to bad amount of space in er for a tiny little bugger. Red lines nicely in 1st and into second, but no real amount of pick up after that. 92 hp stock. worth the little bit i paid for her, matenince is nothing. Has a manual sunroof, manual windows and power locks. The tiny space also compliments the sound of the subwoofers thumping from the trunk. Pretty good stock sound outta the speakers to.

September 4, 2008its very small but amazing on the gas. they aren't very tough cars but they will take a beating. as long as you take car of them, they'll rock your world
March 5, 2008acceleration on 1st 2nd and 3rd gear r great, but it slows down on the 4th and 5th, really hard 2 get 2 speed higher than 140km/h... car needs more weight.. maybe good rims can do the job, interior needs more work also.
