  Fun small car, but loud! - 2001 Hyundai Accent
  By reddotblackdot - May 15 - 4:49 pm

  I purchased this car used in 2005, and therefore all the warranties on it were void. it had 30,000 miles. It now has 92,000 and the transmission blew out. It is a $2,000 repair as the whole transmission needs to be replaced. That is almost the worth of the whole car so I am just going to buy another car. It is not a bad car, it is small and that is what i like. It is also quite zippy, i think, however it costs me $22 to fill up and i have to fill it up about every week and a half. I have a 20 min. ride to work from where i live. So you do the math. It is a good used car but i wouldnt pay too much for it.

  Catalytic Converter - Horrible - 2001 Hyundai Accent
  By Tony Burns - March 16 - 10:46 pm

  Overall my car was a fun and reliable car with very few issues. Last year I could not pass the emission test and the problems began. The check engine light would not go off and the codes said that the engine was under load even in low idle. The there was also a code for a new converter. On most vehicles the converter is under the car and may cost a couple hundred dollars. The converter on this vehicle is attached to the exhaust manifold and cost over a thousand dollars. I would have loved to keep the car but I was so upset with the outrageous price and location of the converter that I had to let it go. Good car, bad converter location!

  The Best Car Ever - 2001 Hyundai Accent
  By Valerie - December 2 - 10:20 am

  I came from a Mercedes to a Hyundai. My car had 6 miles when I purchased it. It now has 228,000+ and I have EVERY original engine part. Only changed the timing belt and brakes and did my oil change every 3000 miles. My car has NEVER broken down on me or ran out of gas. She has been 100% reliable to me! My tranny just went and YES....I am putting a new one in. I know the car and trust it. Its worth it to me. So if anyone is thinking about getting one....just make sure you change your oil ON time EVERY time its suppose to get changed. I love my Hyundai Accent and when I decide to get another it will be the Hyundai Azera.

  Not bad - 2001 Hyundai Accent
  By KoryuKitsune - October 7 - 5:14 pm

  Its not really that bad of a car. It ran great until the Transmission blew (THat or the head gasket were not sure what on yet). Only got in one wreck in it and that persons license plate numbers are indented in the car and thats it. Its a Sturdy car. I really wanna fix it up.

  its a good car - 2001 Hyundai Accent
  By elisha - April 11 - 1:15 am

  The accent is a good car. I got it at 102,000. Now I have 108,000ms on it. So far its ok. Not the best car. Hondas are much better. Ive only had it a short time and I think the trans is going the people that had it before me really did a number on it. Drive it right its fine and the gas mileage is great it takes like $13 to put a half a tank in that bad boy.

  Great little car - 2001 Hyundai Accent
  By PBishop - October 23 - 3:48 pm

  This is a great, fun, dependable little car. It has been reliable, and saved me hundred$ in gas over the years. It is also easy to park and great in traffic. Plus with the hatchback I have transported 8 ft 6x6 lumber, rototillers and a water softener. The interior is so roomy that my kids call it the "clown car". I would but another in a heartbeat.

  Lots of extra features I did nor expect. Get used to the road noise. Great warranty and they live up to it.

  I drive about 75 miles per day to work and love my accent. My only trouble is that the transmission went out at 80k.

  Good little car - 2001 Hyundai Accent
  By Phil - September 16 - 1:17 pm

  I got my Accent in May 2006 as a replacement car after I wrecked my cheap (price-wise) Aveo and got about $4,000 insurance from it. I did not expect the interior quality and engine reliability to be so good for a cheap, 5 year old car with 85,000 miles on it. With the 5-speed manual, it is a fun, peppy little car to drive and it delivers exceptional gas mileage. I average from 34-38 mpg combined city and highway driving. I never have any problems with the car. The only thing I notice is the brakes are kind of lou and Ive even had them looked at, but it doesnt really bother me that much because they still stop the car well. I would recommend it over any 2001 Cavalier or the equivalent
