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.

This is my 3rd Hyundai and my 2nd Accent. Being small this type of car suits me. I got the CVT this
Great driving on the CVT. gear changes are so smooth. Lovely interior with Bluetoorh fof phone and ipod. Small car but roomy and cheap on petrol. My 3rd Hyundai and am more than happy. My little run around is easy to drive and park. Next car will also be a Hyundai.

Great Car for everyday use.
Great fuel economy and Fast acceleration. Small and great features in car like long side mirror and perfect car for city. But not perfect car for rain. Pickup is poor in rain or when there is water on surface of road. good legroom and gear shifting is smooth. I liked dashboard in brown color and pretty reliable car with low running costs.

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!

Great Car
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
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.

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

2002 Accent has never skipped a beat.
Fuel efficient (I got 750km out of a tank on the highway). No issues, just general wear and tear (such a door handles needed replacing, window winder broke etc). Also the paint job started to fade just after the 5 year warranty ran out. I'm about to trade for a later model Accent but this car has been a dream the last 14 years I have had it..

Reliable and very light. pretty good sound bar.
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
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.

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!

Just what I am looking for
the car handles well. It suits my need. I needed a car for work that is not big and not use up too much petrol. This is just right for my needs for now.It is small enough but spacious enough. When I transferred to a new place all my things fit in the car. I did not have to go back and forth to bring all my stuff. I had time to arrange all my stuff and not be too tired to work the next day.

Great car for a young female who does city driving
The Hyundai Accent is quite impressive and very nippy. it has excellent road handling abilities and very good braking not only on dry roads but also on wet roads. there is a fair bit of road noise at speed and on rough tar but as a city car it is very good. This car is no good for big people and you are squashed in the back seat if you have three large adults in the back and then there is very little leg room if the front seat is put into a comfortable position for the front passenger or driver also the car sits very low when you have 4 or 5 ad...Read more
ults and you need to be very careful when driving over speed humps and into driveways as the front and back tend to hit the ground or the centre of the car when going over a speed hump, suspension is too soft in my book. The boot is very big for a small car and can hold a lot of gear. the dash is well laid out. The fuel tank is a bit small and you need to refuel more often. I feel the fuel consumption could be better as you are chewing more fuel because it has such a small engine and now the newer models are coming out with an even smaller engine where as the older model has a 1.6 ltr, the newer model will come with a 1.4 ltr and I feel it will be a bit too small an engine and do not attempt to put 91 octane fuel in these cars as you will get even less power. City driving you would get between 400 and 500 to the tank. The Hyundai Accent is very well made and comes with a very good warranty including roadside assist but you won't need the road side assist as the car is very reliable. The paint work is very good. I feel this car would suit a young female driver as it is very safe to drive and has a lot of safety features including the automatic locking doors as they lock automatically when the car moves at about 10klmh and this is a great idea for anyone who drives the car as car jackers can't just open the doors and it unlocks when keys are removed from the column. excellent feature. The Wheels are 14" but you can option them up to an alloy wheel and bigger tyres. If you have a clean driving record and 60% no claim and depending on where you live your comprehensive insurance is on the cheapest category saving you heaps. For country driving this car is very under powered on hills and with the automatic the car wants to constantly change back gears when going up hills and with this you lose what fuel saving you may get for country driving because you are pushing the car up the hills. the manual version of this car might handle the hills better as you have control of when you want to change back a gear. Overall if you want a car that has pretty much all the bells and whistles and is well made with fixed price servicing for 3 years and you intend to drive just around town and not fit sumo wrestlers in the car then go ahead and test drive one, it is still very nifty and it is a fun car to drive for around town and hey it is pretty good value for the price.Similar opinion?

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 car under the budget of $17k
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.

Great little car - haven't had any issues with the radio
Before owing an Accent, I had a Hyundai Getz (which had clocked up 165,000km and never missed a beat) and have gone from a petrol 1.6L motor to a diesel 1.6L. Obviously the petrol engine was zippier on take off, but the diesel engine is so much better on fuel and a tank will last me for about 700km.
Performance and handling are good and there is plenty of legroom for my 6ft 4in son if he comes in the car. The Accent's interior is nice and the seats are comfortable compared to the Getz, but I will never bag out my Getz too much, because tha...Read more
t car just never let me down and as a car dealer friend of a friend said "you just can't break those cars!". I haven't had any problems with my radio like other reviewers have had, which surprises me because we live semi-rural. I don't listen to AM stations, so that may cause an issue, but all the FM stations are picked up fine.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Hyundai Accent
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.
