Great little car, June 17, 2009
By KCJen from Kansas City, MO

"The Accent is exactly what I needed: it gets me where I want to go with plenty of room in the back for my groceries and whatnot. The gas mileage isn't as good as I'd hoped (about 23 in the city) but not too far off from what the sticker said."

Awesome car, April 28, 2009
By Fezz from Los Angeles, CA

"When I saw the car I fell in love with it. It looks great. It's really comfortable, of course for a 4 cylinder you don't get as much speed as you want but it's a great car!"

Great car for the money!!, April 7, 2009
By Lois from Green Valley, AZ

"I have driven the Accent on the freeway and on the back roads. It performs beautifully in all situations. The acceleration is excellent and I had no trouble keeping up with traffic altho I did not drive the 75 MPH speed limit. I prefer 65 MPH. When I passed another vehicle, the Accent had the power to pass and pass quickly. Altho the ride is mostly comfortable, I do find travel on the back roads (pot holes, etc.) to be a bit bouncy. And I haven't exactly found the perfect seat position for myself and do sometimes feel some stress in my back. The interior is what I would expect from a car in this price range. It's plastic and serviceable and has enough cup holders and hidey holes for my things. Love, love the hatchback. The overall look of the car is sporty and that appeals to me. The one thing this car came with that I absolutely love is satellite radio. It is my first experience with satellite radio and I may never drive a car again w/o this feature! Also want to add that I have another 4 yrs. on my warranty which was the main reason why, when I went searching for a used vehicle, I chose Hyundai and not some of the other manufacturers who only offer 3 yrs. total. I am more than happy with this car and made the right choice for myself. My husband calls it "The Flea" because it's so peppy and I hop all over town in it."
