Hyundai Accent 2008

5 star review

Excellent car. Pleasing style and quality throughout. Very lively little engine. Feels solid and reassuring to drive. I am quite fond of this car. It has exceeded my expectations.

Hyundai Accent MVi 2000

2 star review

Accent MVi engine has a design fault for which it burns engine oil after 70k+ miles. As a result my car’s engine seized!! Also, ABS went faulty, power windows didn’t work properly, central locking was temperamental. However, driving position was comfortable and car included usual gizmo’s. If only all of them worked as expected!

Hyundai Accent 3 door 1341cc petrol 2001

2 star review

I always drove Mondeo’s over the passed 10 years but a year and a half ago I thought I’d have a change to Hyundai. I had never had an accident in 17 years of driving until the Hyundai - they are the worst cars you can have and lose value a hell of a lot - even if they are mint condition - check parkers price guide and you will see what I mean. Hyundai are the worst cars ever in an accident - my car was a total write off, beyond repair. Before you buy, check the common faults on them - that’s why my accident was so bad, they are called tin cars and after my accident I totally agree - they are like tins; not solid cars at all. I’m very disappointed in the car and would never ever buy one again. It was so lucky that we weren’t killed in it...

Hyundai Accent Si 1999

5 star review

I owned a white 3 door Accent Si reg T351 THJ from November 2002 until February 2007. It had 22962 when purchased and 124200 when sold. I drove it daily and for two years exceeded 30K per annum. The car was indestructible. I often drive for 250 miles at 85 miles an hour without a problem. Maintenance was limited to servicing and even this was sporadic. It was comfortable, economic but basic. Nothing broke ever. My second Hyundai. It was so good I bought an Elantra. If you need cheap and reliable that no one will attempt to steal, buy one.

Hyundai Accent 5dr manual 2005

4 star review

I have to say, this is a great car. i have driven it full time for over a year now, and its been rock solid. i’ve driven 130,000km since new and it hasnt skipped a beat. all the electrics still work fine, Especially the power windows. they always go up and down all day. the only thing wrong with this car is the suspension. whilst it is a comfortable ride, something i’ve noticed is its really sloppy around corners, (whilst going a reasonable pace.) would fully recommend it to everyone. My next car is definitely going to be a Hyundai!! Lucas from Western Australia

Hyundai Accent 1.4 Atlantic

3 star review

The Accent is a good solidly buit car and the suspension gives a very comfortable ride. Whilst it’s quite nippy around town it does seem to struggle a little when you get on the motorway and the engine noise can get a little jarring. I bought this for the wife who doesn’t do too much long distance driving so it does the job I bought it for well but it’s not something I would want to drive over any distance. Other than that it’s a decently equipped city car.
