  Nice car, but problem with poor MPG - 2007 Hyundai Accent
  By Norm - January 21 - 1:08 am

  Much better car than previous model (traded in a 2001 hatchback 5-sp that we were overall very happy with, including good MPG): it looks good, is solidly built, fun to drive, and has a very nice interior. But right from the start, with mostly highway driving, we only got a poor 23-25 MPG (U.S. gal.). Looking at website reviews, most owners get the rated 35+ MPG, but 3 reviews describe the same problem and same answer by dealerships: a “longer break-in” is needed to get good MPG. Now, at 5000 miles (and after dealer tried fixing by changing spark plugs) MPG is still the same. Seems Hyundai may have a problem with a small percentage of Accents that they havent yet figured out and/or admitted.

  One Fine Machine - 2007 Hyundai Accent
  By Wayne - January 4 - 6:25 pm

  This is one fine little car that does everything that I ask of it. Its not a drag racer, but it gets up to speed in a deceivingly smooth manner. It will cruise nicely on the freeways at 70+, and is agile in city traffic. Its size makes it easier to find parking a space. Hyundai packed a lot of room inside this coupe. Every instrument, knob and lever is located where the driver expects to find it. Gas mileage is excellent, as advertised. The air conditioning does its job well, and road noise is not an issue. At about $14K delivered, this car is inexpensive but it certainly is not "cheap." People can look at my little blue Hyundai coupe, but they will just have to go find their own!

  Commuting is fun again - 2007 Hyundai Accent
  By William McMurtry - November 29 - 8:47 am

  I commute fifty miles per day and this car makes it an event to look forward to every day. It has a very smooth shift and makes driving in and out of roundabouts a real kick. The sound system makes it a veritable "jukebox on wheels". The ride is smooth with catlike response in the steering and handling. The intertor design gives the driver easy acess to all of the switches and knobs.

  Excellent car for its money - 2007 Hyundai Accent
  By edward - November 18 - 8:58 pm

  At first, the car didnt really turn my head, but after driving it for a month, WOW, its automatic and it gives me more than 30 miles per gallon, its a drive so friendly and soft, you think youre in a car of a better class. And I found out the reasons why: independent suspension on the four wheels, CVVT fuel injection. Plus nice room and cup holders for every one, pretty nice stereo, all this for a low price. Driving it through curves and hills is very easy, though not a fast thrill, but it really drives like a small premium car.

  Worth the Ride - 2007 Hyundai Accent
  By Ed Dwyer - November 15 - 9:31 am

  Great car that fits my needs exactly. Sporty spitfire with built in economy and relatively comfortable environment. I dont see many SEs on the road but I get a lot of compliments on it.

  Mileage NOT what I expected... - 2007 Hyundai Accent
  By Barb - November 13 - 9:54 am

  Weve had the car a little more than a week and since we bought it specifically for the mileage... were not impressed. We drive about 500 miles a week to/from work and was hoping for closer to 40 mpg than 30 mpg. Also, since these are mostly highway miles.. we really thought it would do better. Otherwise, we are pleased with the leg/head room, peppyness, and my husband said "It WILL do 120 mph" and handled very well while doing so... no floating. It really stayed grounded.

  Nice Little Car - 2007 Hyundai Accent
  By mac - November 6 - 8:01 pm

  The car ride is exceptionly fine. Gas milliage is great. Seat interior is good. The dash components are position ok, except the millage trip button needs to be postion in another location for easy access. It is short on drivers foot room from the clutch pedal. Also interior molding is poor quality it scratches real easily.

  Beware Maybe? - 2007 Hyundai Accent
  By Dave - October 29 - 8:15 pm

  After three days of driving my brand new car (200 miles) I noticed a delay in my transmission when I shifted it from reverse to drive. I also noticed the gas gauge went from full to empty way too quick. Took it in to the dealer and as per Hyundais suggestion, the dealer replaced the transmission and gas tank sending unit. After 2000 miles the speedometer wont drop all the way to zero and the alignment is off. Broke my heart as this was my first new car I have bought in over twelve years. The dealer wouldnt replace the car when I took it in. Why would he he got his money? Hyundai said sorry, but that was it. Learned my lesson that Honda and Toyota are worth the premium price.

  Love these cars - 2007 Hyundai Accent
  By Angie Tedder - September 26 - 7:00 pm

  Bought my Accent SE on 9/23/06....almost to the day of my last Accent, a 2001 hatchback. These cars are extremely reliable. I have to get used to driving an automatic. But, have found this car pretty peppy and responsive. The SE is loaded with sunroof and CD(6). My previous Accent was very sporty and I just loved it. Talked my husband into getting the Elantra Limited. Now hes a fan! Never had a problem with my 2001. I expect the same from my 2007 Accent. I encourage everyone to check out these vehicles and test drive them before spending thousands more just because of a "name".
