Drives good, rides well for a small car, the gas milage is decent around town. Does not hold it's value. Not a good buy for a short time.i cant kill it--best car ever
Pros: economy
Cons: no air vets
I drive over 150 miles a day and this car just keeps on going--35-38 miles per gal STILL--great car to travel with--it is also a snomobile (with snow tires all around) can't get it stuck in snowI like my Accent!
Pros: Entertainment system
Cons: seating comfort
I know that I didn't throw a lot of stars on the chart, but I really like my Accent. I drive about 100 miles a day to and from work. I guess a Mercedes would be more comfortable, an Audi more powerful, and a Mustang more interesting, but then they might cost a little bit more for a commuter car user!Waranty vs Dealer Performance
Pros: Stick Shift
Cons: Waranty Reliability
The companies promotes a 100,000 mi waranty is only as good as the paper it is written on! At every delivery for service, the dealers claim that all parts function as they should and a service charge is placed on all owners that do not receive a waranty claim. the service charge is for waisting the time of the dealer. Who in my mind has no intentions of completing any type of waranty work for free. I have had to replace within the first three years of ownership at my own cost: tires & struts, battery, & wheel covers with peeling paint. I did purchase this car to be a cheap commuter. The extra cost and the agravation of never getting a repair completed under waranty is reason enough to never, never, never ever buying another HYUNDAI period.
