"I had a 2008 Accent and the only reason I don't have it now is that it was rear-ended and totalled. It was hit by a big Buick which was going about 30. Although it was totalled, my dogs and I were relatively unhurt. Injuries were caused by the whiplash movement, not the car folding in on me. The seat belt bruised my chest bone. It could've been much worse. This car got excellent mpg, drove long distances w/o trouble. Only reg. maintenance. New tires last year. It was little--not a comfortable fit for a 6' person, but I'm only 5'2". The fold-down back seats opened up a big cargo area which my dogs loved. Kept their fur off the back seats that way, too."

"I have owned my own hyundai accent for about 3 years now and have never had any problems with it. I get about 29mpg which is great. Front wheel drive helps a lot in the snow. Trunk space is great. This is overall a great car. ...Not good if you have children whom are still in carseats. The back seat is hard to get to."

This is my 2nd Accent

"This is my second Hyundai Accent and I still own the first. It is excellent transportation for those who need economical cost of ownership. If you can do without all the "extras" that so many vehicles come with today and make most of your trips solo or as a couple, you will enjoy reliable and comfortable driving."

"I love my tiny car! I have asked a lot of it as volunteer fireman in the country. It has delivered every time! Bad on tires (could be my driving style). Replaced the tires three times, a battery, and fluids."
