A great starter car that won't hurt the bank

I bought the 2022 Accent SE trim as a backup daily driver. It's great but not awesome. True, the interior is not much of a wow factor, but it's nice and simple. The radio and infotainment is simple, backseats, trunk, lights, many simplicities in this car. Driving is fun, it does have a bit of an acceleration that I'm not used to. Huge windshield though, I was impressed. The shifter know moves cleanly as well. Brake is under par, I wish it was a bit better (I'm probably used to the Brembos on my garage queen.) I don't like the plastic rim cover, I might change out the rims to nicer ones. I replaced my halogens with LEDs for my headlights. I get about 33-36 MPG driving in Texas roads so, my driving habits are rather safe-ish and slow. I think for the price, it is one of the best starter cars out there. I love Toyotas and Hondas, but these days in 2024, they are way too overpriced. If you are in the market for something simple and clean, and are trying to avoid flashy and eye stares, also while not hurting your wallet; this might be the car your looking for

Economical and Stylish for the Price

When I got this car (2022 Hyundai Accent SEL) it had 5k miles on it, they sold it as new. I didn’t realize it was being market adjusted and I was being charged 3k above MSRP. The dealership was nice and this was the first car I have ever financed alone. I kind of regretted getting the Accent, but it really grew on me the months I have had it (I got it in August of 2022). I had been driving a 2008 Dodge Charger RT which had a 345HP V8 and 260k miles, it was passed down and became an endless money pit. The highest MPG on the highway I have gotten is 54 average which I was amazed. I am also 6’5 and with the seat and steering wheel adjustment I fit fairly well. Overall this car is very fuel efficient and economical, for the price the exterior styling is not bad. The interior isn’t too shabby either for the price. Just a nice sub compact car, don’t know what else you could expect for 17-21k.

keep your expectations low, then maybe you won't b

just economical, no other appeal, made of very cheap material, the inside of the door was deformed immediately, it is not as economical as I expected in terms of fuel

Best car for the money, I am so happy that I made

Well, I think I can sum that up in one word, "GREAT". What else can I say! The last car that I had was a Suzuki Forenza, and it was a great car, but the Hyundai Accent beats it out hands down.. that's all I can say. Thank you, Wayne A.

WOW, Absolutely Loving this car!

This car is amazing. Forget car reviews saying this is loud. It is not. In fact the car is very tight and literally no wind noise. I am a toyota guy. After years of owning Toyotas and not even consider a Hyundai I am pleasantly surprised. I was forced into am Accent while renting a car from Alamo in Mesa AZ. It was the base SE. wow! I could not believe how well the Accent is made. I returned home from business trip & ordered an SEL. I have no regrets and enjoy this car the more i drive it. 46 mpg highway. 39 around town. 10 year 100k mile powertrain warranty. I came from a 2019 Camry to a 2021 Corolla hatchback to this Accent sedan. This exceeds either toyota. Value wise you can’t do any better.

Happy!

This is a sweet car. They are overpriced right now, but no market adjustment where I bought it, had to watch for a while when a car came in that was exactly what I was seeking. It has a good amount of tech, is sturdy and rides nice. It is cute as a button and zippy.
