  10 yr Review - Fantastic value! - 2004 Hyundai Accent
  By diydriver - October 25 - 7:11 pm

  I bought this vehicle in 2008 as the third owner (1st yr, rental car company2nd owner, military who commuted 60 miles each way to base). Bought for $5400 w/55k miles, I drove it for 2yrs locally, going to work, errands on weekend, avgd 29/city. Took a job 102 miles each way, commuted each day for 18 months, avgd 35 highway! Mileage at start of job was 70k, 145k when done. Since then, local commute is all-city, avg 28mpg. I now have 170k miles, and the only major expenses Ive had are tires, wheel bearings, and FWD axles. Also replaced a few broken door handles, spark plugs, plug wires, & belts, but those are cheap. Most reliable and cheapest car to operate Ive EVER owned in 30 years.

  My 2004 Accent - 2004 Hyundai Accent
  By jann6 - March 31 - 11:38 am

  I bought mt Accent in 2005 as a new car. It has never let me down, I now have 126,000 plus kilometres. I have always serviced it at 7500 kilometres or every 6 months and have had no trouble. The only thing that worries me is that the tyres wear out a lot faster than other cars I have had, I am onto my 4th set of new tyres, maybe I should have had more wheel balances done, I think this could be a downer. Still it is a great car and I would recommend it to anyone seeking a used car. ps it is a manual and my 17 yr old daughter has found it really easy to drive!!

  Great little car - 2004 Hyundai Accent
  By sunnysammy74 - December 15 - 9:51 pm

  I love this little car I just bought it a few months ago as my first car for $3,700 Its been great to me so far, although it feels like Im not getting the best gas miles I could be getting. My car has around 99,000 miles on it and its still drives like a dream, it may not be a Lexus but its still an awesome car, it would be great as someones first car.

  Champina -- surprised to find a new love! - 2004 Hyundai Accent
  By mikistewart - June 21 - 3:16 pm

  We purchased our used 2004 Accent GL Sedan last August for $3,600.00. This amazing compact car quickly became our go-to choice -- even for distance travel! Shes already been roundtrip from Nebraska to Arizona. We named her "Champina". Our first vehicle is a 2001 Dodge RAM Pickup with every luxury Champy was bought as Moms "local errand car". When gas prices topped $3 a gallon, she became our primary transportation. The Accents fuel economy, comfort and reliablity have won us over our 15 MPG RAM is reserved for hauling, intown errands and "boys night out!" She has needed only regular maintenance in >15,000 miles of all-weather mountain travel.

  Lost it to accident 125,000 miles - 2004 Hyundai Accent
  By consumer - July 15 - 6:57 pm

  Great car. Only had to change timing belt at 60,000 mi and 120,000 miles at a cost of approximately $250 to $300. One set of brake pads at 70,000 mi and the rest was just wipers and bulbs. Car was considered a total loss with insurance company. I did not want to get rid of it. It did very well on a head on collision. At least I thought. Minimal damage in my eyes. A great car company backs their vehicles with a 10year/ 100,000 mi warranty on engine and powertrain and a 5year/60,000 mi bumper to bumper warranty! Oh and dont give me that "I want to buy American" crap. Hyundai is built here in America. Ford fusion has "assembled in Mexico" or parts from Japan!

  Excellent little car - 2004 Hyundai Accent
  By speedracer008 - March 23 - 10:25 am

  It was good to get around town in and it can take a hit. Unfortunately it very successfully stopped a large adult deer straight on the front end but I, the driver, remained completely safe. It was fuel efficient and an easy little car to drive. Its small size allowed for easy parking anywhere! Overall a nice little car.

  Great car w/ good gas mileage! - 2004 Hyundai Accent
  By MikeB - March 4 - 12:02 pm

  I owned this car for a little over 2 years about 30,000 miles. I traded in a WRX for this so it was quite different but I needed a better price and gas mileage. It was comfortable got around 30mpg and never had any issues!

  Worth the money - 2004 Hyundai Accent
  By John - November 12 - 7:06 am

  I have had this car for 5 years now and the only expensive thing ive done to it was a timing belt. (Part of 60,000 mi service). Other than that it has given me no problems. You cant beat a 5 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and a 10 year 100,000 mile engine and power train warranty. The warranty was why I bought this car. I just wish other makes of vehicles would do the same.

  A real winner - 2004 Hyundai Accent
  By pamedict - October 10 - 10:48 pm

  Purchase of our 2004 Hyundai Accent GT was a direct result of my son wanting a beater car to drive back and forth to college. Found a plain Jane 2002 Accent with 5 speed at a local used car dealer for him, I was impressed with the gas mileage (35mpg)on the highway but the ample amount of space inside for a big guy like me. 63", 290 and the zip this little car had. Thus the search began for a similar model for my daughter who turned 16 this summer.I was pleased to find a 1 owner, 2004 GT Automatic with 75000 miles. Body in good condition and the interior like new. With a nice stereo and CD player included the price was right and we bought it. 6 thousand miles later a success story!
