2006 Hyundai Accent consumer reviews

you can get brand new car with reliable amount of money.i reach 185 km/h. full tank give me 400km distance.

I own a 2006 Accent and I have to say that it was the worst investment of my life. Right at the end of the warranty the car starts falling apart. From the sway bar link and bushings to the a/c switch shorting out. If i was you I would never consider buying one. Also the timing belt is almost guaranteed to break at 70000 miles. just 10000 past the end of the warranty. If you own one and your front end is rattling you might want to get it checked.

I purchased a "new" 2006 Accent, what a mistake. The passenger door panel keeps peeling and has been replaced twice! The transmission is a 5 speed and has problems shifting into reverse, 1st and 2nd! Two dealers later and the problems still exist. This car has only 4000 miles on it now and I've owned it for 8 mounths. It has never come near the mileage claims, city 22mpg and highway 27 mpg at most with a strong wind behind it! I'm not keeping this car as the warranty will be needed constantly. Now I see why they offer such a great warranty. Also it's supposed to be quite at speed, not at 60 mpg +! The engine is quit loud at these speeds in 5th gear. Sorry but I'll never buy another Hyundai.

And I name my title that not in a negative way, as the only thing "entry level" about my Accent was the price. Seriously, it has quite a few features that my 2005 Elantra I traded in didn't have, like the side curtain airbags, EBD, lit vanity mirrors (nice touch, Hyundai!), a better stock stereo, etc. And it was less $, even with the prem/sport package model I got. The engine feels quite willing despite the 1.6l and 110hp, in fact it feels about as fast as a 2001 EX Civic I had, which had 127hp but weighed about 300 lbs more. The tranny is very smooth, the brakes the best of any car I've ever owned (about 10 different cars), and I love the interior design and seats. I also love having 8 cupholders in such a compact car too! One of those things you can never have too many of. My only suggestion is one that probably all Accent owners would agree with: ADD CRUISE CONTROL! Or at least make it available with the Prem/Sport package. Also the suspension has a little too much roll for my tastes, and I know it isn't supposed to be a sports car, although the V rated Kumhos on my sport model somewhat make up for this, they are quite sticky for an OEM tire. Anyway, I love my Accent, and I'll say overall GREAT JOB, HYUNDAI!

Beautiful styling, and packed with value. ABS Standard on my 2006 and 6 airbags, alloy wheels, alarm, cd, 15" tires, all out the door for 13k, the best value any where, I truly love it

Yes there are many vehicles in this class, but do any have such a warranty? To start, we all know about the large warranty on hyundai's, not much more to say on that. Cost is few thousand less than it's predecessor's for just about the same features fully loaded. Hyundai's service has been excellent, sales person's are marvelous, willing to help you out however they can. Many standard airbags; others dont have, stereo is very good quality, seats are less than wonderful, however it does give you much support. Driving has been tight, economical, and fun. It does have some slight drag on steep hills, but overall it is comfortable to drive. The new desing is fun and sporty, great for a young adult that is a first buyer. Over all it has been very reliable, good on gas, fun, sporty, and very affordable. Get one for yourself if this is your kind of size and you'll love it!
