  temperatures and doors - 2006 Hyundai Accent
  By loved7373 - January 11 - 9:04 pm

  When temperatures are extremely high the central lock will not work, even opening the doors manually will not work either.

  Great Car at Great Price - 2006 Hyundai Accent
  By Rich - October 12 - 2:00 am

  Purchased used with 20,000 miles at a great price (thousands less than comparable Hondas, Toyotas, etc.). Car drives great and has been very reliable. Disappointed in gas mileage for a compact car (30 mpg average). No reliability issues.

  Mediocre Hyundai Accent - 2006 Hyundai Accent
  By Andie - November 28 - 12:01 pm

  I bought this car used from Enterprise Car Sales. It is a 2006 Accent GLS with about 45,000 miles on it when I bought it. It still had some of the 60k warranty left, which turns out I really needed! The car was fine for about a month, then a sensor went bad. Took the car to the dealership and they fixed it, it was covered under warranty, I was only disappointed that I was not provided with a rental car. Now I am at 54,000 miles, purchased that car 5 months ago, and an engine coil went bad. Took it in to the dealership, and turns out the warranty doesnt cover new spark plugs or a "decarbon" which I was told i needed, so this little car is starting to cost me quite a bit of money in repairs.

  Not the fuel mileage you would expect! - 2006 Hyundai Accent
  By kgirl - April 8 - 6:33 pm

  I bought this car specifically to get better gas mileage as my old car, a 99 Buick Century, was getting up there and losing its MPGs (about 20- 21). As the gas prices soared, I thought I could and should do better, it was time for a new car. With all the Hyundai spots advertising 30/39, I thought the Accent would save me so much money in the future. Wrong! The car only gave me 21MPGs out of the gate. I bought one of those air flow jobbies and only got it up to 23- 24MPGs. I could have stayed in my Buick for this and it was already paid off! The look and the reliability are great, but Im so disappointed overall. What was the point if the MPGs arent nearly what theyre claiming them to be?!

  Accent Is Solid but MPGs stink! - 2006 Hyundai Accent
  By steve30122 - October 14 - 2:46 pm

  I bought my Accent after beginning to have trouble with my previous car, a VW Jetta Turbo. Notice my ratings above, they are completely honest. I have been very disappointed with the gas mileage for a car this size and with this little performance. My fuel economy averages in the mid-20s overall. I did exceed 30 mpg on a couple of long road trips, but only reached 33 mpg. Performance is pitiful if not down right dangerous. Its difficult to enter a crowded Intrste Hwy w/o getting pummeled. Now heres the good stuff. Havent had a single hiccup with this car. The reliability has been perfect for 2 yrs/53K even in tough, city driving. The design and build have far exceeded my expectations.

  Great drive for its money - 2006 Hyundai Accent
  By Henry David - December 12 - 3:15 pm

  I´ve had the car for five months and the pro´s are: great soft and smooth ride for a car its class, soft and no outside noise,good noise insulation and good stereo for the price, and lots of amenities. Great room for its size, good trunk space, and great handling in curves. The cons: not great gas mileage 21 to 23 miles per gallon on the city, if you don´t drive fast but if you are those of whom, like driving fast it will give you less than 20 miles per galon, but the car will respond fast enough for city needs, and its fun! On mountain roads you have to push the acelerator, but the ride is stable on fast curves,I personaly use the 2nd gear, and turn off the overdrive and it responds nice!

  lousey mileage - 2006 Hyundai Accent
  By junemart - November 15 - 6:09 pm

  My absolute foremost reason for buying this car was for the gas mileage. The mileage I am getting stinks, city and highway . The car is nice and quiet on the road but without cruise control and without the promised 36MPG I would rather be in my 2004 Forester that gets a solid 28MPG on the road. Other owners report good mpg. Are you driving at a steady 50 with no a/c and a brick (cruise control) on the pedal?

  My Accent - 2006 Hyundai Accent
  By Shelby England - October 18 - 7:38 am

  I have been very satisfied with my new Hyundai. I have actually exceeded the mpg of 36.54 on highway and avg 30-34 city driving. The handling is great. I spend much time in it and feel very comfortable. Car experts Ive talked to say it can easily go 300,000 miles if taken care of properly.

  none - 2006 Hyundai Accent
  By AndyKorson - August 15 - 9:25 am

  My real only issue at this time is the low mileage I am receiving. Its all considered city, but it is only 20-23 miles per gallon which is so much lower than that average number listed on the sticker display.

  So far ,so good - 2006 Hyundai Accent
  By Mark M - July 4 - 4:05 pm

  So far, so good. The Mileage is better than I expected. EPA rates the manual @ 32/35. I have been getting 35.79 average mpg after the first 2500 miles. This is with a 30city/70hwy commute. This is driving 65/70 on the hwy. Purchased this vehicle for a daily 130 mile round trip commute. I could only afford to spent a set amount. I asked my mechanic about choosing a vehicle. Asked him about a brand new Accent, or a one year old Corolla. He said buy the Hyundai. This came as a shock initially. But he has family memebers with Hyundai vehicles with similar commutes. Frankly I really expected to be led to the Corolla, having reservations about Hyundais reputation from the past.
