Overview & Reviews

A new trim level is introduced for 2010: the Hyundai Accent Blue, which becomes the model's least expensive and most fuel-efficient trim. All Accents also benefit from new engine enhancements to further improve fuel economy over last year. Inside, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls are now standard on the SE and available as an option on the GLS; the standard equipment list on the SE has also grown to include cruise control and a sunroof. Antilock brakes are now available on the Accent GS, and USB connectivity has been added to the auxiliary inputs on all audio-equipped models.

• Supportive seats, peppy acceleration with manual transmission, unusually satisfying stereo for this segment, relatively quiet cabin, impressive warranty coverage.

  Fun Commuter - 2010 Hyundai Accent
  By alessing - July 22 - 12:46 pm

  Ive owned every car imaginable, F-150s, Hummer H2s, Ford Explorers, Audis, etc. I currently own 2 Mercedes Benz and theyre great cars, just not on gas. My first Accent was a company car w/ 87k miles. It was a comfortable car, great on gas, fun to drive, but severely under-powered. The auto transmission is sloppy and makes some hard shifts and cruise control isnt available. Beyond that I needed a commuter I could drive around and my son needed something too. This was perfect. My son can drive to school and work and I can go run errands. Despite the flaws, I love this car!

  Very Happy With It! - 2010 Hyundai Accent
  By zfair89 - March 14 - 2:53 pm

  The sticker on the car said 14400, but they are very motivated to sell cars at Hyundai. After the trade-in of my crappy Grand AM and some rebates the car was under $10000. And it is loaded! everything except for cruise control. bought it in June of 2010 and have put close to 30k on it. great value. fun to drive. great on gas. recommend to commuters and college kids.

  Try to find a better built car for the $ - 2010 Hyundai Accent
  By Hyundaiman - November 16 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this car brand new in 8/2010. Price before taxes was $10,400. I never owned a Hyundai before, previously Ive owned Subarus. Long story short, my last car was an OB Sport SE, I put it on Autotrader & basically sold it for what I paid for it 3 years ago when it was new. I felt like saving some money given the crazy recession & decided to get a simple commuter car. Although the Subaru is a better car in every way this little Accent has been a pleasant surprise for what it is. Its sporty looking, interior is high quality, I average 40 mpg & its crash tests are good. So far it has been reliable & I hope that I wont have to use the warranty.Heard that Hyundai service dept stinks!!

  By dmk - August 1 - 10:31 pm

  I have a muscle car for the summers. Needed a winter/run around car. Was looking at used, for $11.000 the car was a steal. auto, a/c. Worry free driving and in a strange way, fun little car to drive.

  Glad I got the one with the sun roof - 2010 Hyundai Accent
  By Bill - July 2 - 12:29 am

  I decided to put out the extra money for the top of the line. Larger tires and sunroof. Glad I did. First sunroof Ive ever owned, and its great. Car is fun to drive, great handling, though I wouldnt want to drive it on really rough roads--too bumpy. Two door hatchback is the way to go if you dont have kids.

  Bad Fuel Economy - 2010 Hyundai Accent
  By Bob - June 18 - 10:16 am

  The car is driven 98% highway doing the speed limit of 55 mph to 65 mph I watch the tachometer for any major changes in engine speed. The gas mileage is not even close to the sticker. I average 30 to 32 mpg, the sticker states 37 to 43 mpg.

  Great car for heavy traffic areas. I get a little under 30 miles to the gallon due to sitting in traffic in downtown Tampa. Very comfortable and great warranty.
