Love my Hyundai!!

published

A bit heavy on fuel for the size of the car but only done 4000 KM. LOve all aspects of the Accent. Performance and driving is fantastic for such a reasonably cheap car. I have had no problems with it at present. It has plenty of power for me around town. Interior is as good as a car twice the price.

Perfect car under the budget of $17k

published

I bought this car in Aug 2016. Very economical and pleasant to drive. Plenty of legroom, massive boot and cant complaint about the multimedia. This car could have done better in sales compared to Corolla and Mazda 3, if Hyundai would have included standard feature like cruise control and rear view camera.

Hyundai Accent

published

Recently bought a Hyundai accent.
It is compact,powerful for its size and spacious.
Easy to handle.
It is a manual car and has 6 gears which honestly,I think 5 gears will do.
Do not know why have 6 gear.
maybe the manufacturer can explain.
Overall still as a nice car to drive.

It is a nice little car, except for the radio

published

Performance is quite surprising for such a small engine, CVT is a little strange sounding but does well, tyre/road noise is just OK but you get what you pay for, interior is quite pleasant and good value, no problems with reliability and fuel usage is very close to the claimed 6L/100km average.
The only issue is my wife listens to AM radio and reception is poor at best, FM signal are much better but still not a great radio.

We are just as in love with this car as when we purchased it over a year ago

published

Performance is excellent, style cannot be matched,handles like a dream.
We feel there is plenty of room and the side mirrors keep such excellent vision.
Better than any car we have ever owned.
We love the little compartment above the front window that holds my husbands driving glasses.
The stereo sound is better in the car than in our home.

Cheap on fuel

published

Got it as it was the cheapest sedan in 2012. The 5 years warranty unlimited kms was a major attraction too. Clocking 5.6l/100kms as I do more than 100kms every day on a manual transmission. Only problem I had was the rattling sound coming from the sunvisor which I just got it replaced last service(renewal covered by warranty).

Bought a new Accent Sport model Auto. from Yarra Hyundai. A nice experience from first looking at cars to the hand over.

Great handling and power. We love it! Took it on a long drive past Daylesford with winding roads and it handled well. Compared well with the older BMW we traded. At under $20,000, a bargain!

What a great car

published

This car is excellent. It's really easy on fuel, feels really roomy inside and has been 100% reliable so far. Fixed servicing costs are a bonus. The only thing I miss is not having a thermometer in the dashboard, but that's probably my fault for choosing the lowest spec option :-)

Handy Car

published

I have the Hyundai accent 2014 model and never had a problem with it. Definitely a great car for p platers which is when i got mine, as its a really great small compact car and i find it really easy to park. I was hesitate to take it camping but surprisingly i had no complications and having back seats that can go down makes it a little bit more handy to lie stuff down. It definitely is a great value.

Great performance,low noise, great vision with side mirrors, comfort in seating great, legroom and interior room exceptional for a sedan. Reliability excellent running costs economical.
The dashboard lights and indicators are clear and at night I feel like I am piloting an aircraft. . After taking the Drive to survive course we are now more aware of how safe this car is and it has given us a feeling of safety and security in handling the vehicle better

brilliant drive

published

We recently took a rb3 accent 2016 model for a test drive, with the 6 speed cvt transmission, and loved it so much we have ordered 1, which will arrive tomorrow, we loved the feel on the road, felt like a larger car, seats were comfy, steering was precise, engine was very quiet, I like all the info that was displayed on the dash, like outside temps, and how eco we were doing, only downside it was a little loud on bad surfaces, don't know if it was down to tyres or not though, and the fcmc staff were fantastic

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.

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

Mine is an automatic and don't have any problems going uphill. Mine is new so I don't know how older cars perform

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!
