2009 Hyundai Accent - Small but zippy car

This car is one of the smallest I've ever had but it still is able to pick up and pass some larger slower moving vehicles on major highways. There is plenty of leg room in the front and the back and overall the comfort level is very good. I have made numerous 8 hour trips with the car and never feel uncomfortable while sitting. The gas mileage is terrific but not if I use the AC. However, right off the bat I had several sever mechanical issues with the car. It had to towed three times within the first six months of my ownership. All repairs were covered under the extended warranty that I purchased but If I hadn't purchased it I would have paid almost $3000. Even with those issues I have to say I enjoy driving the car. The car did very nicely last winter in the significant amount of sn... (more)

Story

I recently had started a new job in a bordering state. We were being set up for a significant blizzard. I drove to work before the snow started and I brought with me all the gear needed to sleep in my car if necessary. I spent the night and was comfortable and stayed warm by turning on the heater every so often.

Pros

My favorite things about this car is the comfort level in all seats and the gas mileage. I am able to fill up the car about one and a half times a week. I work about 35 miles from where I live and spend a lot of time driving it. However, if I use the AC a lot on the longer trips my gas mileage is really not so good. All seats in the car are very comfortable. And surprisingly roomy for such a small car. I took a trip down the shore with a friend, 3 kids and all of our beach gear. We fit nicely in the front and back seats and all gear stowed nicely in the trunk.

Cons

The negative things about this vehicle have been the repairs it has needed. Within 3 days of owning the car I had to have it towed because the starter went on me. Within 3 months I had to have it towed again because the check engine light came on and wouldn't start. Three months after that I had to have it towed again because the check engine light came on and it started flashing. All repairs were covered by the warranty that I purchased however I feel that since this car is not that old that the amount repairs is significant. Since the warranty has ended I have not had to pay for any repa... (more)

2015 Hyundai Accent - A Peppy Little Car

I've had this guy for about 10 months now and have put over 20,000 miles on it. I tend to get between 32 and 38 mpg depending on if I do more city or highway driving. I love the armrest on the front driver side seat, but have had passengers complain about lack of passenger side arm rest. I think the cup-holders could be moved forward just a hair to avoid being directly under the arm rest, but they are adequately sized. This car is easy to park, because of size, but I have not heard complaints about roominess and I have been able to pack quite a bit of stuff into this car. The car packs a good amount of power for the fuel efficiency and size and I have no trouble with driving in high speed interstate traffic. The hatchback version does have some annoying blind spots which are slightly m... (more)

Story

I live and work off of dirt roads, so my car tends to look adorably misaligned to the task of off road driving; especially when it tends to be surrounded by big muddy Jeeps. I ended up calling him Joel (like from the video game The Last of Us), cause he's a tough survivor that I can count on anywhere.

Pros

Peppy engine for size Tons of audio input options Fuel Efficient Driver comfort Trunk space Blind Spot Mirror

Cons

Blind Spots Low ground clearance Slightly off cup holder placement

2009 Hyundai Accent - Cute, but too Compact

My Hyundai drives very well and it's body is nice and stylish. The color option that I have (light blue) is my favorite. I can make tight turns and it can fit pretty much anywhere. It can be noisy driving on the highway and doesn't really have the pickup that I like. The space of the car is roomy enough for smaller/shorter people but is very difficult for people who are around 6 feet or taller.

Story

There are a lot of times when I have to try to find parking uptown that can be very difficult parallel parking, but with this car it is so easy to fit almost anywhere and parallel is a breeze!

Pros

I like the color option because the light blue is my favorite color. I like it can handle turns well. My car is very good on gas and I do not need to fill it often even when I'm doing a lot of travel. I enjoy the armrest that is for the driver in case you are driving further distances and want to relax your arm. My car is a standard and it is easier than most cars to shift. The radio/CD player in the car works perfectly and I have never had a problem using either the radio or CD. The radio has multiple stations that can be programmed into it.

Cons

Even though I like that my car is more compact, I do not like having only the two doors because it makes it very difficult to place objects and people in the back seat. Also, the trunk space is very small and I have a lot of supplies I keep in my trunk. I like that it is a standard, but I feel like I can only do about 50 in sixth gear before it gets really loud and seems to struggle on the highway. It is nice that I have armrests for myself, but it would look nicer if the armrest was also available for the passenger to use. The interior lighting at night is very low and hard to see everyth...
