Insufficient heat shields-heat build up in boot
This car has insufficient heat shielding between the exhaust and boot. It slips in at the minimum level of the Australian standard. After a 20 minute trip groceries, etc melted or heated in the boot. The Hyundai head office could not assist. So we sold the car, made a loss, and moved on. I will never buy a Hyundai vehicle again.
It was nippy
Overheating in boot-could not transport food products in boot

Great value. Always buy Hyundai.
We traded in our Hyundai Getz for a bigger car as we were expecting our first baby. We have had the car for 12 months now and do not regret the purchase for a second.
Hyundai: My parents own 2 hyundai's for their small business (i30 and iLoad), we previously owned a Getz. I really love their cars. They are affordable, look great, fantastic safety ratings and have only ever had the smallest of issues which we have left to be looked at during the regular service.
Accent:
- White looks great
- Interior is great
- Big enough for our family of 3
- Small enough to zip around in and park almost anywhere
- Back seat is a little squishy for 3 adults but granted, this isn't a large car

Fantastic little car
I have just traded in my 3 door 2006 Hyundai Accent hatch for a 5 door 2012 Hyundai Accent hatch. I loved my little Hyundai Accent so much that when it came to upgrading my car due to having a baby and needing 4 doors I didn't hesitate to check out the new Accent. Hyundai advertise the i30 so much that it seems that the Accent isn't made anymore but checking the web site you can find all the information you need. The new shape is great and I think it is the best looking hatch out there. Great features including integrated bluetooth and as always amazing space inside the cabin and hatch area.
Great space inside, looks great on the outside.

2012 Hyundai Accent returns to Australia after a 4 year absence - better than ever
We have purchased a new 2012 Hyundai Accent 4 dr sedan, which is a completely redesigned, and slightly bigger version than the previous 2000 - 2007 models.
So far, after 3 months, we couldn't be happier. Good power from the 1600 motor even though the car is an automatic. Very economical to run, on the highway and even around town. This car replaces our 2000 Hyundai Excel which we still own and drive as a second vehicle.
The build quality is flawless and well designed, and has all the latest safety features normally found on much more ex...Read more
pensive cars. Good comfortable seats, excellent interior space and a large boot make the car very versatile. We purchased the car from the same dealer as the Excel, Keema Hyundai in Mt Gravatt, Brisbane and they were excellent, insuring our purchase was a pleasant experience. All in all, this car meets or exceeds our expectations in every way. Great car at a good price. Comfortable, economical and well designed1 comment

2012 Hyundai Accent diesel, it's amazing :)
I bought this hatch in February, and I chose the 6speed manual diesel. The car has all the safety features, ie 6 airbags, anti skid, stability control, you name it. I absolutely love this thing, it's really quick (quicker than the petrol due to the 1.6l diesel being turbo charged) and the fuel economy unreal. The car averages about 4.8l per 100km, so I usually fill up when the fuel light comes on when I have 100km left, which means roughly 620km out of 35 litres. I had a barina before this, and my accent gets 150km more out of the same amount of fuel.
The car has an eco mode, and it even suggests what gear it would like you to be in to save fuel.
Fuel economy, quickness, safety

Questions & Answers
Farzan Hasked
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.

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
Thank you for your reply..
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!

reat mileage & handling. IMO, this car should be in a category like 2011 and later as it is a completely redesigned model, bearing no resemblance to the earlier models before sales were ceased on the old Accent in Australia about 2009. It is not a true indicator of the vehicle if 'Product Review' leaves it in the 2006-2012 category.
