worried about driving up a mountain with air con.

published

My 2018 Hyundai Accent is very heavy to drive up hills if the air-con is working. I am unsure about taking it for a drive up a mountain in summer. I have asked for info from the service centre but they have not yet called back. It also seems to use a lot of fuel.

Wonderful car

published

Bought the new Hyundai Accent 2018 Sport model in April this year - terrific car, reliable, economical- only negative was no CD player - otherwise great car and great buy.
This model was upgraded from previous models with alloy wheels, leather steering wheel and 1.6litre engine. Would have to add that seats aren’t the most comfortable, but ok for short trips and commuting

Great run around

published

I purchased my 2012 Hyundai Accent from an elderly couple. I use the car to commute to work and the school runs daily. Both my taller kids fit in the car easily and my husband which is 6 foot 2 comfortably. I find having the diesel model on a full tank of fuel will last me the full 2 weeks if i am running around my area. It is very zippy. Never had any problems with the car. Would definitely recommend to buy for anyone.
My only negative comment about the car is that the turning circle is not very good for the size of the car. My husbands 2017 Pajero Sports has a better turning circle which I was really surprised.

soo reliable

published

I’ve had this car for 5 years. It’s sturdy and cheap to take care of, even though I use it for daily long distance travel it handles itself quite well. I don’t get it serviced as much as I should and it still does surprisingly well and is reasonably reliable.

LOVE the new car

published

Love my new Hyundai Accent. I use it for work 3 days a week & find myself taking small adventures to little cafes & shop that are out of the way on my days off just to drive my car. It looks great, drives extremely well, is comfortable & very economic. Got it for a great price! Up for the 1st service but they're all capped. The Hyundai team were great & made a huge fuss for presentation/pick up. My 1st drive, like every one, is a dream come true!!

Amazing

published

myself and my family used this car everyday for almost 10 years, it was amazing with only small problems here and there like spark plugs going. This car saved me as i was in a car crash and the crumple zones i the front of it helped me. I really recommended this vehicle

Value for money

published

This was my first new car. I have it specifically in the sedan - which was hard to find! Most city cars I found were the standard hatchbacks. Anyway I semi-regularly use it for commuting and shopping, and occasionally for longer country trips. It holds up well either way and has great fuel economy. Also has 5 year warranty. I get a lot of use out of the Bluetooth and the reverse park sensors (extra), though I really wish it had Android Auto.

Accent Sports

published

Great performance, has some get up and go. Previously had the Veloster. This is the same vehicle with a the same motor but a different body.
Very happy, use about $30 a week in petrol. Never missed a beat, comfortable, easy to drive. Only thing I am missing is a reversing camera, otherwise has all the bells and whistles. Great value for money.

Fails safety test

published

Whilst stopped at the lights, the driver of a minibus (reading a text message) ran into the rear of my vehicle at full speed and pushed it forward into another stationary car. The airbags did not activate which resulted in the two occupants being hurt. If passengers had been in the back seat, they would have been seriously injured from the impact which wrote ff my car. Buyer beware!

reasonable price and good quality

I have bought this little bumble bee in John hughes in 2015 during the end of financial year sales. The manager has offer me this model with under 20 k aud which is very affordable for me and my wife. The color of the car is yellow and we no need to pay extra for the color. I have been driving it for 3 years and still no problem is found. very satisfied with it

Smooth drive

published

The Hyundai Accent is a nice midrange car. It is spacious yet small enough to fit into tight spots. Nothing rattles or shakes while driving. There is a sensor in the front seats that alerts you to put your seatbelt on. It has central locking that automatically locks when the car hits a certain speed.
In all, a nice car to drive.

I love it.

published

I have an Accent SR auto which I bought new nearly 12 months ago. The SR was in run out and it had a few extra features over the Sports model like a front centre armrest.
It is quiet, roomy and solid. It is fun through the corners with direct steering, good breaks and a comfy ride.
The 1.6 has more than enough go and I'm averaging 8.4L/100km around town.
On the downside the auto is geared for economy and it feels lethargic going up hills. The cruise control can't hold it's speed going up or down hills either.
The rear visibility isn't great but I had rear parking sensors fitted for an expensive $500, but they do help making reverse parking a lot easier.
Overall I would have no hesitation in recommending this car.

Great little car

published

Love my new car...smooth, easy to handle, good vision all around. Interior not fussy but enough spots for coffee phone etc.
Runs on an oily rag, got the black one and it looks good, obviously needs cleaning often. Small enough to be good in sydney traffic, great pick up.

Only gripe ius i dont think the air conditioning is as powerful as other models and cardiff hyundai not really interested in re checking it but ill persist with getting this checked

Accent sport 2017 model

published

Beautiful to drive handles really well on the road vertually no road nose, quite motor. Heaps of leg room inside the dash is set up really well, l don't have a I phone so can't use the navigation system I can live with that. Have been driving my car since early February 2018 very economical on fuel without compromising size.

I still love this car!

published

My partner always says I love the car more than her and the kids but it's because it's been so handy including taking supply's too and from work as the back space size is really good. The car fuel is ok but only because we wish we had gotten gas over unleaded as the price is going up and this car takes a fill every second to third week!

That how we feel, can't live without it

published

Love it all, we always say we are glad we chose the accent even now a couple of years down the track
We get great service, we are happy with the mileage and we still feel it's the best styled vehicle .
We love the silver colour we chose and would not change it.
