Hyundai Accent (1999 - 2006) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

it has been a great car to me. it current has about 145k miles on it as for repairs just a crankshaft position sensor and some exhaust repairs. what is really nice about it was the fuel mileage with 475 air on a summer day i went 100 miles on 2.46 gallons of gas with 4 extra people with me. it is the manual transmission and it will be needing a clutch soon but i am still on the factory clutchJan 08, 2013

I love how snippy this car can be sometimes, its compact and can store a good amount of things. The Transmission takes a bit to kick into gear on time and that is a bit of an annoyance, but once its warmed up it works fairly well in and out of traffic. Not a 4 door, which is my preference when it comes to vehicles, I like my passengers (when i have them) to be able to get in and out without a big ordeal in everyone having to get out of the car. But plenty of room in my opinion for 4 adults (definitely not 5) Maintenance is fair, but you have to keep up with it like any other car out there. Something no one really tells you is this has an interference engine which is a feature that baffles me. Overall; Good as a first car.Sep 17, 2011

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.Mar 08, 2011

Performance is good, good acceleration, good braking, it handles good under 100 km/h, not stable after 100 km/h, its body is so weak, its clutch pedal got so hard to push, and the shifting stick makes me feel like I'm driving a 70's car. It has a good exterior look and the interior is not bad, it no cup-holder, the electric door shield not good, it has small mirrors, it doesn't need much maintenance, its spare parts are cheap and available. it has very good gas mileage. in general it's a good car and fun to drive...

Great for a small car. Very cheap to own and run. It's so small and light, it handles very well. It's a blast to drive. Not so great if you want lots of sheet metal around you, but it rides well on the highway. I would probably have more issues with the small size, but my other car is a minivan, so I can haul stuff when I need to. As for looks, I descide it as "dorky charm". You either think it's cute or you don't.May 27, 2009

This was the first car I ever owned. Someone hit me and it ended up being totaled. Gas mileage was good. In the first year of ownership, 2 belts broke! I had to have it towed and it was a new car...luckily it was covered under warranty. Interior styling was good for the price of the car, and exterior was nice looking. However, it ddi not take much for the car to be totaled & the air bag did not deploy. Sep 06, 2008

it's a nice city car, with good enough cockpit options for supporting you while you driving it in your city town. Medium size car with 1500 cc engine, injection, side body impact protector and engine protector (if you got front crash accident, the engine will go down to the ground so it will not goes into the cabin). One more thing, this car only need 1 liter of gasoline for 1 mile. Nice, huh??Aug 06, 2008
