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.

  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.

  GREAT VALUE - 2003 Hyundai Accent
  By RTJ - February 23 - 2:00 am

  Great option for someone looking to get from point A to B with good reliability and mileage! Lets be honest, I have to rank this car average or below in interior/exterior design, fun to drive, performance. BUT, that is not why I bought it! Reliable, good mileage, not stunning features/performance/design, but it gets job done and very well for the price paid.

  Best economy car.......hands down!! - 2003 Hyundai Accent
  By JoelP - February 20 - 2:00 am

  This is the BEST economy car on the market....hands down! I replaced my automatic 1998 Accent hatchback with a new, 2003 same model and the improvements made by Hyundai are numerous and welcomed. No more turning off the air-conditioner to pull out on the highway...this Accent has spunky pick-up! The automatic transmission has been improved with the car now shifting/staying in the correct gear. The ride is quiet (okay, the engine could be quieter but hey, it is an economy car remember), smooth and sturdy. Hyundai did a great job on redesigning this Accent from the exterior classy look to its comforable interior. Guess you can tell, I love my Accent!

  Great car - 2003 Hyundai Accent
  By Humbuzz - February 1 - 2:00 am

  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!

  Its the perfect car - 2003 Hyundai Accent
  By kristinac - November 13 - 2:00 am

  I just bought a brand new 2003 Accent and I love it, it is a very comfortable ride and it looks more expensive than it is. I was very impressed at how quiet it is and how good the sound system is for being stock. For a small car, it has guts. It has more horses than most cars its size. The best thing about the model I have (4DR sedan GL)is that its so convenient, with power everything. Its no Mercedes but it has a very stylish apppearance, very futuristic and nice looking.

  Wonderful - 2003 Hyundai Accent
  By logan - October 17 - 2:00 am

  I was hesitant about buying this car, but I had read an article in the paper and this car got rave reviews. I have always liked Hyundai but never heard good things about their product. Never the less I bought an Accent anyway and instatnly fell in love. Great dependabilty and great gas mileage, whats not to love.
