Water pump and alternator water pump never been touched still work as intended

Dope xxx car that runs good even after 170k miles. Manual windows so you don't have to worry about a motor breaking. Manual mirrors are easy to replace. Light car with good gas millage.

Cheap to run, Cheap to repair Insurance cost cheap but could be better.

Undercoated well wheel wells and springs i used tremclad rust paint to cover min rust. Body or under side no rust at all after 16 years. Runs drives and is still dead silent warmed up . Water Pump Still Orignal at 178,000 One ignition coil failed at 160,000 ( Not a cheap Part) Cute Car Fill It And Forget filling for while . Distance driving 625 km trip was only 20 buck in gas with gas to ride with for week after return. Is efficent. Low horse power (expected) Great beater for most Cheap as xxxx. Far cry from when the first Accent was introduced. Nervous breakdown accents i call em.

Its humble and authoritative when it comes to functionality and durability. Its design fits both masculine and feminine choices. Its fuel consumption is economical in comparison to any other locomotive of its kind.

Me encanta mucho hasta ahora no me quejo de mi Hiunday Accent 2008 color Verde tipo dos puertas guagüita. Económica y voy a todos lados con ella Gracias a Dios. Y su baúl espacioso hago todo tipo de compra y cabe muchísimo en la parte trasera. La recomiendo en realidad muy Buena Inversión.

This was my first official new car, bought in 2009. I had it for 15 years or so until the timing belt suddenly broke out of nowhere. This was a nice little car but upkeep was expensive. As a teen I tore up the hood by sliding into barbed wire by accident, and I had to replace the entire front cover. Unfortunately this car was not big enough for my family after 7 or so years, and so we had to get another car just to fit everyone. If I had my choice, I would have been at the dealership with my relative looking at this car and asking the dealer EVERYTHING about it, because I feel like I was cheated out of a choice and wound up with the most expensive car to fix on the market for that year because family didn't do research before bringing it home to me as a surprise gift. (Which I still had to pay off.) The car is pretty on the outside but very cramped inside. My 6 foot friend looked like a he was trying to squeeze into a clown car, and his head touched the roof. Don't get this car if you're over 5'7", and if you do get the car anyway, make sure it has regular checkups. No one seemed to know what was wrong with my car until they could actually get to the belt. The engine itself is built inconveniently, and it's very hard to access certain valves and mechanisms in there without taking out whole pieces first. I hated the maintenance labor but hated the costly fees more.

I bought this new in 2008, had to special order it as I wanted an manual transmission, SXM stereo, AC and that's eat. No electric door locks, window lifts, mirrors etc. Except for the scratchabe plastic I like the interior. Comfortable seats (way more comfortable than all the Honda I've owned), Tremendous amount of room in side, more than our Forester. Shifter is a little stiff but WD40 regularly applied makes it slicker. I replaced the stock wheels with 15 inch 60 series, added an anti sway bar in the back and a strut tower bar up front. Handles very way. I think it looks better than 90% of the overly folded and creased cars out today, classic lines, I removed the emblems and the front emblem bar and people think I'm a driving a German coupe. In fact, I bought this because it reminded me of my old VWs from back in the seventies and eighties. Simple yet fun. 160,000 plus miles, only on my second set of pads and rotors, replaced the clutch at 155K (my bad, burned it up in the Smokey Mountains) and nothing else other than standard maintenance. I'm going to drive this until one of us drops dead.

Date - May 1 2023 I had this car since 2008. Overall, I love the timeless design, it does not look too off with the new cars coming in the Indian market. Most cars for better mileage have a 1.2L or a 1.3L / 3-cyclinder engines, my accent has a 1.5L 4 cylinder. The mileage is reasonable, nothing to get excited about, but it can crunch miles. I have put over 124K miles on it. Going to renew my tags for the next 5Y. The car is excellent from a reliability standpoint, has a decent size boot and is stable over 100 miles an hour. Safety, there isn't much however it does come with a full metal bar behind the bumper, so good luck crashing into it. Until now I have changed the fuel pump (just for precaution), the belts (timing, alternator), did a paint job (needs to look pristine), changed the lights, the stock lights are really poor, wiper blades/ tires (as any other car). verdict - Not the most comfortable, but the most reliable, especially because it has very few electronics within it. Love the car XOXO

These are very cheaply built vehicles. It does pretty well on gas mileage and thats about all the benefit you're going to get. Cheap plastic interior that falls apart easily and is very expensive to replace. The Hyundai line up from what I have seen is riddled with recalls so be prepared for that. Its an ok work car, as in a seat on wheels to get to and from. Or a cheap starter car for a new driver or someone low on funds but have some cash on hand for surprise repairs. It would be a great little commute car if it had better materials and parts.

Its reliable and don't stop on the road, its performance amused my friends with bigger cars. I will definitely want to buy Hyundai brand, its has good fuel economy
