Good little nifty car
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!
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.

Great small car, Great Customer Service
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.

Comfortable fuel efficient & easy to park
Very direct steering, it's an automatic & seems to reva bit before changing to the next gear, which is supposed to be what the CVT transmissions do so I have read, front seats have plenty of leg room, back seat leg room is a bit squeezey
It's cheap to run& reliable so far, it's bit noisy inside from road noise & is low to the road which makes it a little harder to get out
I bought seat covers & put them on, since then the top half of the back seats which fold up & down, had a constant rattle, which was very annoying
Hyundai adjust...Read more

Good Car!
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
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.

Surging since I brought it brand new Aug 2016
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.

Value for money!
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 very happy
Very happy with this car so far, performance, handling for me is all good, interior is all good. The running cost is great, fuel economy is very good, car is very reliable. The car automatically locks once you drive off, leg room is great, I cannot fault this car for now.

Love my new car
This car is great. The drive is smooth on all the different roads I've taken it on. It's great on the highway, smaller suburban streets and even on tiny dirt roads that wind around mountains. It's easy to park in tight spots and I absolutely love driving it everywhere.
It's a small car that has surprising amounts of room inside. My tall friends have no issues stretching their legs in the front passenger seat, my sisterinlaw can easily fit her (large) rear facing baby seat in the back seat of the car and the boot of the car has a great am...Read more
ount of space for a small car. Apple Car play, while not a feature I would pay extra for, is a great addition to the car. Being able to plug in and use Maps/Music/Phone/Voice to Text is handy. The car has given me no issues since I purchased it brand new earlier this year. The running costs are low, I do an average amount of driving (about 15,000km/year) and have found that filling the tank will last me about two weeks or so. The lifetime service plan is very reasonable in price aswell.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

An outstanding small "city" car
If you're looking for a car in this category, the Accent should be on your shopping short-list.
The performance from the 1.4lt engine is perfectly adequate and the new 6 speed CVT auto works well with this engine. The ride is noticeably firm but I think will be acceptable to most buyers. The car suffers from considerable road noise on the highway but you must take into account the low purchase price. If you want a quiet highway cruiser this is not the car for you - remember that Hyundai market and sell this vehicle as a "city" car. As a city c...Read more

Great value car
Affordable, comfy and nicely optioned with good engine power for its size. Sure its lacks a reverse camera but the android / apple integration suits for music, radio, GPS and more and keeps the drivers eyes off the screen and on the road. Runs on little fuel and with capped price annual service costs its a budget buy to buy and to own. The security of 24/7 roadside assist is a nice touch.
Remember this a budget buy. Its not a fancy car with options and leather. But its well finished for the budget buyer and has ample legroom for all 4 passen...Read more
gers with a nice deep book suitable for three large bags with no trouble. Why this car and not the Kia or one of the other budget small cars. $16K for an auto 5 door 5 seat sedan. The KIA was a close contender by at $1500 more we could see no reason for the extra. The dealer offers a 3 extra yyear basic warranty if we get the 5 years of services with them so the so called KIA~7 year warranty isnt that attractive. I once owned a KIA and wasnt that imprssed. My other Hyundai 120 have been a reliable car and helped sell the Accent.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Love my Hyundai!!
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, shame about the radio
Great car very impressed value for money no question about it, I traded my 2010 GETZ 5 speed manual which also had a 1.4 motor, and now buying a new Accent and having a 1.4 motor 6 speed manual gearbox I was a little concerned about the fact my Getz would comfortably drive around town in forth gear and the fifth gear was only required once I hit over 70 km, ........but they have worked the Accent's Engine and Gearbox over a little here which has created more torque in the lower gears and very efficeint in the higher range and will comfortably ...Read more
drive around town in fifth gear and then into sixth gear on around 70 Km and onwards which hums along at 100 km/hour and revving around 3000RPM, it is also built a little better inside and out compared to my GETZ. As other people have mentioned the radio is a little disappointing with regards to reception and is an issue, i have only had a slight reception problem on FM stations so far.....but AM may have bigger issue'sSimilar opinion?

It is a nice little car, except for the radio
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.

Brilliant
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!

Handy Car
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.

brilliant drive
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

right foot to come off the accelerator, causing the surging, also told me to drive my automatic in manual mode, (dont even know how to do this and why should I) my car was sent away to another dealership to get looked at, they sent it back to me after driving 13klms and putting on their computer, no error codes found, Hyundai now say nothing wrong with my car as they cant replicate the problem. Computers don't lie, but Hyundai do, 17 months old now, 5588 klms and still surging at 50klms, I don't drive it anymore don't feel safe anymore. You tube Carolyn Stoltenberg and you will see the dodgy accelerator, look to the left then midway whole compenent moves lopsided. But hey computers don't lie
