Great car - faultless

published

I bought the automatic version new 3.5 years ago for $17k drive away. The car is fun to drive and huge inside considering its in the small car class. I loved it and miss it after I lost it in an accident with a SUV. Happy with the resale value. I had zero probs with it. The only prob the car had was discovered by the dealer at hand over and got fixed straight away.

Great Car at a Great Price

Great driving experience. Very good price for the value it provides. Makes for a perfect first car. You cannot go wrong with this car. The maintenance and repairs are cheap and everything runs great. Its a great car overall and great experience. Hyndai is great in my book. That it

Great small car for a big guy!

published

Best value small car in Australia for me. I looked at many different models when considering my new purchase and the Hyundai wins for fuel efficiency and leg room (important for me at 6'3). The Apple CarPlay is very handy and easy to use with the only downside being no reverse camera or sensor included in any version.

Good affordable little car

published

One of the decent little car, base model, however little bummed to missed on the new model which comes with cruise control at the base model. Overall performance matches my need, good L/Km ratio, decent handling. I wish there would be more features. Made a dumb choice to get reverse sensors to be installed by hyundai, should go to any aftermarket place.

Okay car

published

I bought an accent for my first ever brand new car! While it is nice I really should have spent the extra money and upraded to an i30. My sister bought an i30 soon after I got my accent and there is a noticeable difference between the cars. The accent is okay, just the i30 has less blind spots and a more powerful engine

Very Good enough for the price

published

Bought it new when it was on promo. Very happy with the fuel consumption and also the offer and extended warranty from the dealer. The car itself is good enough for my work purpose. The technology and bluetooth features are excellent. The only problem that I found is the demister is not really working well during winter time as it took ages to clear up the fogs. Other than that, I am very satisfied with it.

Economical Car

published

Sporty-looking on the outside, with grippy tyres for sporty cornering
Roomy interior
Quite quick in a straight line
Strong after-sales package
Cheaper than some competitors

Suspension too abrupt over country roads and fidgety on urban arterials
Average interior quality
Flat seats
Lacks engine refinement and overall finesse of best rivals

Resposive and easy to handle.

published

A nimble and easy to drive car thay is perfect day to day car. After driving this car for a month i can appreciate what hyundai has done. Driving the car with in the triptronic gives the car extra power whwn i need it and the boot space is generous for the this size car. Im suprised it has a full size spare tyre and easy to use infomat system. Apple car play is a dream and wish i could have that on my other cars.

Great little car. Very happy with the Accent as a shopping trolley - taxi around town

published

I replaced our old Pulsar with a brand new Accent in 2017, and I am very happy that I did. The car handles so well, has all the modern conveniences you'd expect in a larger car, including bluetooth, central locking, airbags everywhere, lovely dash and controls, great 5 year warranty. Fuel efficiency is great - around 5L/100 km on the open road, and ~ 6.5 around town.

Only slight concern is that road sounds can become loud at speed - needs some insulation under the feet. It is also low, so be careful when parking not to nose into curbs or the front bumper will scrape.

Best small car

published

I love small cars and this one was the best choice I could have made. Reliable and good looking, I think this car is exactly what I was looking for - easy to park, blue lights in the dash, sleek interior finishes and efficient on petrol. I haven't had any issues or complaints since I bought it from the Hyundai Dealer.

Good little nifty car

published

I settled on this purchase after looking into similar sized cars. I think it is value for money. It is quiet when on the road, easy to park which is important as its used mainly for suburban driving and the occasional trip further afield.Spacious enough interior.Reasonably economical to run fuel wise.I bought it new and have it serviced by the dealer as it has 3 year cap on service cost as well as paid road assistance if sent to the dealer annually !! It comes with an extended warranty. I have had it for a couple of years now and still running beautifully as it should.Maybe an issue for those who like to put their foot on the pedal to accelerate as it does seem to struggle with acceleration. Take their tinting offer. Well worth it.

Can not fault!

published

This car drives like a dream!
I am lucky enough to do half of the driving (husband loves to drive it too) and to have been a passenger in both the front and e back.

The driving experience with this car is second to none! So smooth. So quite. So luxurious!
It breaks well in all weather conditions and doesn't slide on wet surfaces.
It's acceleration is smooth and quick.
It feels like a dream!

Being a passenger in the Accent is a marvil in itself aswell. Great leg room! Very comfortable seats. Ease of access to the aircon and radio!

Love this car so much!

suitable for elderly couple. .

excellent car, very reliable. Good performance with plenty of legroom in the front. Being tall, when I have the drivers seat back there is not a lot of room for the passenger behind the driver. I found running costs very reasonable and the servicing excellent and conveniently priced. car handles easily for parking.

Brendon Welch is excellant in his whole approach made me comfortable and relax, He also included a full tank of petrol,6 months registration and a $1000 Gift Card :)

Highly would recommend Von Bibra Hellensvale as there whole approach was excellent.

Would use this company in the future, when purchasing again.

Accent RB (2011-2020)

Not Sure if Any1 else has encountered this issue. I bought a brand new Hyundai Accent Sport 2017 last year. Since day-1, i can feel the accelerator is too sensitive (comparing to my old Holden)... Whenever i try to level to a particular speed, the car jerks up & down (though the jerk is not much noticeable by other passengers in car but the driver can feel it's not smooth).
I got this checked by Hyundai technicians and they responded with a comment "this is what it is. the sensors may be too sensitive but we cannot change it as the software comes via the company".
I just want to check if sm1 else has also observed this?

Yes, I have found the same thing on my 2017 Accent Sport manual. When cruising at 60 Kph in 4th gear on light throttle, the engine falters and bucks slightly ( only the driver notices it and it would be very difficult to demonstrate it to a mechanic). Much more noticeable with the aircon on as it cycles on and off. I figure that it is the second cheapest new car to put on the road (after the Mirage) so you cannot expect perfection in all areas, but it does detract from driving pleasure in an otherwise great little car.

Normanby2001

Yes, so glad someone else is experiencing the same thing. I have a Sport auto and its hard to drive smoothly. It almost feels like the car has regenerative braking when you lift of the accelerator. At about 50 kph, it will also drop down a gear when you lift off the pedal. Passengers have started to notice it too, commenting that it feels like the car is surging. It's a shame as everything else about the car is great. I'm going to ask the service people if they can do something to the electronic settings in the transmission when it next gets serviced.

I’ve got the same thing with my 2018 model guys. It doesn’t like to sit on 50kph at all. It’s either under or over.

Accent RB (2011-2020)

Hi Everyone,

I ma gone through a lot of above mentioned reviews and are definitely useful. I have another query if any can answer that please.

I live near brisbane cbd and pretty in a hilly area. I just wanted your reviews on how is the car (accent) on hills. Does it struggle or rattles while climbing on a hill?

Thank you
