Overview & Reviews

For 2003, the base single overhead cam 1.5-liter engine is dropped from the L hatchback; all Accents now come with the dual-overhead cam 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder. The 1.6 is rated at 104 horsepower -- a drop of only one horsepower following Hyundai's September 2002 announcement that it had misstated engine outputs across the board. Note that the engine itself is unchanged. In other news, all Accents get a facelift this year. In front, you'll see a new bumper, grille, hood and headlight assemblies, and in the back, the bumper, rear quarter panels and taillight units are new.

• Excellent warranty, low price, nicely appointed interior, solid build quality, smooth ride.

  Very Reliable - 2003 Hyundai Accent
  By Steve Oros - October 14 - 7:12 pm

  I am a sales rep on the road doing 65K a year. I bought this car in the fall of 03, and started this job in the fall of 04. I have 280K on this car of which 260Ks are from my when I started my new job. This car has been Amazing! I have not had one breakdown or false start. I do all the factory maintenance at the dealership where I bought it, all great people, great service. I still have the original brake pads on the rear wheels!! I bought the car W/O AC but when I got my job I had it installed, along with deep tint, and cruise control (need for the long drives!) I am going to put 400K on this car and then get another one!!! Well worth the money.

  Excellent car for the money! - 2003 Hyundai Accent
  By Rami - July 25 - 4:38 pm

  This car is great for the price!! Been driving it for 2 years now, and it drives like a champ. I love the stereo system! But i wish it had cruise control. It also looks pretty good. My personal preference is White color with cream interior! Awesome!

  I love this car. Its dependable, it gets great gas mileage. For a little car it has some pick up and go, more so than I thought it would. My only complaint is the small tires. My next car will be a Hyundai

  The Little Car that pleases - 2003 Hyundai Accent
  By Hyundai Accent - March 29 - 11:52 am

  I purchased the Hyundai in 03. It was nice looking, and I loved that it had great fuel economy. I shopped for price, value and a car to take me into retirement without the headaches of expensive repairs. It has been almost 2 years now and I finally acknowledged to myself that I had a great deal. I wish I could have waited for 04 but time doesnt wait. My best friend bought the Sonata and we are both pleased. So much so that we are driving almost 7000 miles this Spring.

  Nice Automobile - 2003 Hyundai Accent
  By steveg46 - May 5 - 2:00 am

  I bought the car in September of 2003, got a really great deal. Had one minor problem with the car, the right rear brake had a click in it, and it was fixed right the first time. If you really want more power out of the engine put in a K & N air filter, it makes a big difference in the performance.

  By wenixonii - February 27 - 2:00 am

  For anyone who maybe skeptical about buying a Hyundai Accent, dont be. I have had this car a year now, very good car, excelent gas mileage and I absolutely love it. Plus to top it all off, I didnt spend 25,000 for a brand new car.

  Las Vegas is full of these things. Youd never guess the price by driving it. Interior is comfy, very nice. Ride is good, handling is safe and predictable. Acceleration is peppy, but weak low end with AC on. Styling takes some getting used to, but I like it. Motor noise is always present but very pleasant throaty like a sports car. Totally reliable. It was a great decision!
