Don't waste your money

This car has been nothing but he'll since I got it 2 years ago. Transmission problems, bulbs blowing, ...no get up whatsoever. Can't find any performance parts at all for this car. Going to spend more money fixing it than anything else. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

Really reliable

The car is. Very good on gas mileage amazing ac and heater. I love the radio and it has enough leg room just wish it had a little more for when I'm with other people than myself.

econobox, good mileage

Manual transmission is notchy but precise, will not allow downshifting from 6th to 5th above 55 mph, safety feature I guess. Belt line is too high making rearward vision difficult. Fresh owner so a little early to give extended review

Reliable car for the price

The 2016 Hyundai accent is not a head turner, but it's a great value for the price with great gas mileage. Good overall commuter car.

Maybe I just got a bad apple!?

Just purchased this car from a used dealership and for a 2016 to already be bad is shocking to me. The second day I owned it the engine started rattling and I found out the next day the clutch needs to be repaired. Maybe that's a fluke!? As for the rest of the car, it's not a comfortable car at all, lacks anything unique and although it says it seats 5. You can barely fit 2 car seats in the back.

It's okay

The car is kinda small. i have a hard time seeing the full view of the windshield because the rear view mirror is in the way i have to duck down to make sure no cars are in that blind spot.

A fun, reliable & economical car to drive.

A joy to drive & easy to park. Excellent gas mileage. The Accent is a small, comfortable car with great features. It is easy to recommend to this car to others.
