  Suprised! - 2001 Hyundai Accent
  By MRC - March 11 - 6:40 pm

  I bought this car almost 5 years ago. I dont really have any major complaints about the car. I have been very surprised & impressed with the performance. Its quite peppy when needed. The gas mileage is fabulous, I drive 50 miles a day to and from work in rush hour traffic and still average 32-35mpg. I recently had a kid so it is way too small for me now. And it deppreciates so much, Ive been upside- down since the get-go.But if youre looking for a small commuter car that you are going to keep for a long time this is the way to go. Ive never had any mechanical problems.I wouldnt recommend it if you are a larger person (Im 52 and my husband is 61 and we constantly bump each other.

  Tiny and Perfect - 2001 Hyundai Accent
  By Tiana - March 9 - 11:24 am

  I got this car in Feb. when if first started to snow. It really was easy to drive in all types of weather. This is a great first car. And for all shorter people (like myself) its easier to see then some other bucket seat cars! I love this car!

  2001 Accent GL Hatchback - 2001 Hyundai Accent
  By Mike - August 25 - 10:55 am

  Bought this car used for a song. On the interstate coming home, it got 42.5 miles to the gallon. Around town with the AC on, it averages about 33-34. The original tires were replaced due to one developing a bulge. Overall, very efficient, and cheap if you buy them used. I would recommend it to someone on a budget that needs good gas mileage. Lacks some power with the AC on, but is peppy enough with it off. The original sound system could use some improvement, but at this price, Im satisfied.

  little money and a good reliable car - 2001 Hyundai Accent
  By Zach - May 29 - 7:38 am

  This hyundai accent i got for $5400 cash with 30k miles. My dad got this for me as a gift, so I can get to and from northern illinois to indianapolis. 4 hour trips, the trip alone there and back is 550 miles. I can do the trip for just 40 bucks. (50 if you include chicagos ridiculous toll rates) great car, just dont hit the gas at 60 otherwise you will hear and feel the transmission.(not suggested. Keep the plugs and wires fresh, oil changes, and get fresh tires every 25k and the car rides smooothly. Ive kept up with high speed traffic on I-65 going just over 100mph. I am 59 200 lbs and the car is fairly comfortable with the armrest. Get a 25 dollar cd player for your tape deck. KEEPER!!!

  What a Great Little Car!! - 2001 Hyundai Accent
  By Okie - March 26 - 11:20 pm

  Ive put over 110,000 miles on this Accent and it has been the best car Ive ever owned. Would like to have about 10hp more, but for $9500, its really been fantastic. Gets 40mpg on the highway. Reliability is great had a lifter making a little noise at 98,000 miles and Hyundai honored their warranty with no problem.

  Reliable, safe - 2001 Hyundai Accent
  By Survivor - January 25 - 10:15 pm

  I bought the car new and kept up with maintenance religiously. The car has never not started and I live in a place where it gets REALLLLY COLD! Gas mileage is good, ranging from 30-36 depending upon the brand of gas. The body dents easily and the interior is ugly. Enough room for things like cups, napkins, etc, but no room for cell phone on dash/console. Car handles well in the snow with four studded snow tires. With the all-season tires, it slides easily. I was involved in a roll over accident in this car and walked away with only a small scratch. The windshield was all shattered, but didnt cave in at all. The accident was not due to the car, it had to do with the weather.

  Delivers much more than it costs - 2001 Hyundai Accent
  By TimAv - October 14 - 2:00 am

  I have run my fully loaded GS for over two years as a spare car and it is worth every penny. That is all you spend on this car is pennys. Even with the bigger engine the oil capacity is just 3.5 qts. Oil changes are cheap! It is actually fun to drive and decently engineered. Im 62" and it fits me ok. The body rolls a little more than I like but the ride is good for a small car and you can hustle it around and it responds. A really good value.

  FLAWLESS - 2001 Hyundai Accent
  By elmotiptop - April 5 - 2:00 am

  Put 73,000 miles on car in 20 months. Average 35 MPG, mostly highway. Car has been almost perfect only 1 minor problem winshield washer squirter, repaired under warranty. Handling is good & predictable, even when pushing it. Really only complaint is brakes four wheel disk would be great. My other car (91 Saab) has it and the difference is dramatic. Only other drawback is depreciation all Korean cars lose about 25% of their valus soon as you drive off from the dealer and lose another 25% after one year. So you should plan to keep it for a long time. However, this makes it a great used car buy.

  Go with Hyundai for your first car!!! - 2001 Hyundai Accent
  By tyler - October 21 - 2:00 am

  My little Hyundai Accent is awesome! It is so fun to drive, It handles very well, And it has great power for such a small engine! I have no problem merging into traffic, the catch is you must be in the right gear at the right time. The interior is cheap, but hey, what do you expect for $9,500 bucks. Their isnt too much you can complain about on a car that costs ten grand! Not a bad car at all, I will definitely buy a Hyundai again! I highly reccomend one.
