Great value and reliable

published

We have a Hyundai Accent sendan which we are very happy with. This car was purchased brand new and we haven’t had a single issue with it. The services are only once a year and price capped. Also, this car is very fuel efficient, on interstate drives we manage to use about 4.8 L/100 k, which is really good. The boot is very spacious and the seats are comfortable and roomy. Overall a great car.

Good Car!

published

Since this is a small car with 1.4 litre engine, I feel that the car is sometimes overworked specially when accelerating uphill. I notice that the engine is a bit noisy at first when you turn it on. The interior is pretty good. The seats are made of cloth but good quality. There is no reversing camera/sensor. I don't like the rear window as I find it a bit smaller. As per safety, it has 5 star ANCAP. I like its feature which gives you idea how much remaining gasoline your car and kilometres it can reach. We bought it with 10 years Extended Warranty from DVG Morley which is awesome deal. Overall, still good car for its price.

Great Sales Experience

published

Purchased for my mother who hasn’t driven in over 20 years, the car is perfect for her. Easy to steer, park and drive with enough room for her groceries and grandkids. Can not fault anything about the vehicle in over a year. Sales team at Moorooka Hyundai were fantastic and went above and beyond to make this a great surprise for her.

Reliable fuel efficient car

published

Drives well and smooth. Low noise, in fact I can hardly hear when it's on. Plenty of leg room etc, Bluetooth is very handy with screen and steering wheel radio controls. Only thing missing is some extra cupholders. Very fuel efficient as a 1.4 litre. No gps I suppose as it's an entry level car.

Surging since I brought it brand new Aug 2016

published

Driving, surges at 50klm constantly
interiror OK
Reliability very questionable as this surging problem is a safety issue with accelerator movement, problem found but dealership is not doing anything about it, I advised them two weeks after purchase, they have done nothing, neither has Hyundai,
Would not recommend this car.

Perfect great car

published

Great drive stearing smooth. Very quiet but it is only a 1.4 litre engine it can be a little sluggish. Cost about $50 to fuel up get roughly about 430 to 500 kilometers per tank but only has a 40 litre fuel tank. It's a little small on the inside, perfect for a family with 1 to 2 children. A good reliable little car.

My first brand new car

published

I've had this car since June 2017. So far it's been very reliable and great on fuel consumption. It doesn't have much starting power but great when it's got going. The only real issue I have is when I connect to iplay and someone calls me, what ever volume my phone is on it rings into the car at that volume and scares me to death. So unless you have the patience to remember to turn your phone down every time you get in it's quite annoying.
The leg room in the front of the car is great, not so much in the back. But it is a small car. The boot is quite for the size of the car.

Value for money!

published

It's not the fastest or fanciest car on the market but I can tell you that if you are after a car that runs on an oily rag and its reliable this is you car and for the cost with the added extras like the long warranty and roadside assist it was a no brainer.

Great Car

published

This is a great car!! Great price, perfect size and great support system. I bought this car for my grandmother, and although it is only coming up to 2 years of owning it, we have not really had any problems. I would definitely recomend this car to anyone looking for a great car and not a big invesment.

Best car under $16k

published

i purchased this car 3 months ago, so far very good. Paid $16k automatic Sedan, Red colour plus floor mats etc. I am getting around 660 km for full tank and I.e. around $35.
The only disappointment was my friend bought the same car from a different dealer for around $15.2k which is my mistake as i didn't negotiate a better deal with the dealer and not HyundaI's fault.

Reliable and very light. pretty good sound bar.

published

I've got my Hyundai accent in late 2013 as a brand new, red colour, a beautiful one. it is sedan, manual, 1.6 L. I really like it. it is very handy, very quite on road specially on new asphalt. I love touch screen music player and bluetooth. very good features like automatically turn lights off after turning off the engine. Also it has a huge space to carry stuff till 180 cm with all doors closed.
the only negative is about colour. it is going to be scratched very easy even with you nail.

Excellent Economical Small Car

published

I have driven 3 Accents over the last 10 years & they just get better & better. So economical on fuel, so easy to drive, comfortable & look very stylish. Never had any problems with these cars. Would recommend to anyone, even with a young family as there is enough space to fit 2 young kids with car seats in the back & some space in between.

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

I have a an auto mid-2017 model and it handles hills well given its small engine. You won't win a race with a prado, but I'm guessing you won't expect to!
