2010 Hyundai Accent consumer reviews

I have had my accent for about 6 months now. I bought the car for the gas mileage, the price, and the warrenty. The gas mileage is shockingly poor. I bought the accent to replace a 1996 mercury mystique with a V6. With the mystique I averaged about 27 mpg over the four years I owned the car. So far with the accent I am doing no better. When they advertise for 35+ mpg and you get no better then 27 its a big disapointment. Other than that I really like the car. It is a very comfortable car from the drivers perspective.(I have not got in the back and don't plan to) The car handles well and the pick up is what you would expect from a small four cylinder. For the price and the warrenty I could not find a better deal out there. I have the GS model with the automatic transmission, A/C, and radio. If you are looking for a cheap new car just to get from point a to b with no bells or whistles this is the car to get. If you are looking for a family car its just not big enough.

- Before I start I should remind people that this is an economy car and not a BMW. Some reviews on other sites complained about things like leather seats and a power moonroof not being standard. In short, be realistic when viewing the features/options. It's a $10k car for pete's sake. - That being said I'd describe this is a poor man's VW Golf. While that sounds like an insult it's not. I like VW products and a Golf typically costs 40% to 50% more than what I paid for my Accent. Given the price it's well built, has good (but modest) styling, performs well given the size engine it has and it's reliable (so far). - While the engine is smaller than I'd prefer the car does perform well. I can hit the gas going into a turn and the car will hold the road fairly well. I do recommend a manual transmission though. The automatic can't take hills or quickly take off from a dead stop. Very few automatics can in this class though. Note that this car will not be spending much time in the fast lane on the expressway, though it does do 65 MPH with little complaint. The real-life MPG is lower than I'd like but that is because the car is still in it's break in period. - My main reason for buying the vehicle was that Honda and Toyota couldn't match the price for a car with the same features. The key to that was Hyundai's "special offer" at the time. The options on mine are the same as the Honda Fit and I was able to get mine for considerably less and with an excellend rate. My monthly payments are less than a lease on a FIT. Honda and Toyota offer little in the way of incentives and if cost is a big factor then I'd recommend exploring the Accent and other Hyundai products.

ummm no sterio,what happen if you add one the price will go 2k more just for it whos idea was this,a car is not a car with out a sterio

good car with good price, High performance and good air condition, the car offers advanced safety technologies and more interior volume than the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic.

I drive 80 miles a day roundtrip to work and we just had the worst Iowa winter in ages. My 5 speed Accent handled well on the Interstate and around town. It has seat belts for 4 passengers, and a pretty roomy interior. I would recommend it to a friend.

Nice car, but gas mileage is VERY disappointing. Instead of 36-27, it is more like 33-20. Handling is great, pick up is good, interior is comfortable, but the mileage is not what you would expect.

I got the 2010 accent gs 5 speed with popular equipment package a couple days ago and am beyond impressed with this vehicle! I average 35 mpg in it, it has everything and more that I need. Its comfortable and handles great even quickly around corners and even bumps. It is extremely fun to drive and is suprisingly large on the inside. The 10 year hundred thousand mile warranty was amazing as well as a 1500 dollar rebate just to name one of them. I highly reccomend this vehicle I always said I'd never drive anything but a honda or toyota but this car definately beat that!
