Love this car-just the right size, easy to drive in traffic and in parking lots. Great to have fold down seats. A 2 door with enough room for passengers in the back seat. Many compliments on the soft green color.

The car is comfortable and performance is great. Being 6ft 1 in makes it a little difficult to get into though. It is a dependable vehicle and has never left me stranded. Great on gas and if maintainence is kept up with it performs excellent.

My experience with my Hyndai Accent
My car is the best! Every time I drive I feel safe. It still drives very smooth. I have never had a serious problem so far. I feel I still get really good gas mileage. And it still looks beautiful inside and out.

Love my 2011 Accent hatchback. Good mileage. Easy for me keep clean. Can wash and wax beings it is small and I am a short person.
Only draw back is the seat belts are back to far, hard to reach. Wii keep forever.

Almost perfect for me.
I got a used, very basic Accent, in a terrific dark blue, with light grey/dark grey interior, cloth seats, lots of interior lights, and CRANK WINDOWS, which I LOVE. The car happened to need some work, which Bellingham Hyundai's service dept did a swell job on, and now it runs great! The engine is like new, as far as I can tell (74,000 mi), and so is the transmission. I'm not sure that it doesn't need a wheel alignment (the shop said no, but I don't like the tires anyway and may well do both). I like that the doors can be locked and unlocked separately (not power locks); the radio is very good (I haven't used the XM); and the headlights, etc. are very good. Very good car for me!
Recommended
Pros
Crank windows and separate door locks. Being able to open the trunk from inside the car, without a key. The colors, inside and outside. The much better headlights and headlight housings (compared to my 2003 Accent). The radio and related. Lots of idiot lights, so you feel they will tell you what you need to know. The style of exterior door handles (vs my 2003).

Cons
It's almost too far away to crank the passenger window while in the driver's seat (need to be stopped too). Wish I could unlock the back doors with the key also. Rides a little harshly, but I think that will improve mightily with new tires and probably an alignment. The crank position sensor failing didn't turn on the check engine light.

I love the mileage on this car and so far the car has great stamina and is in great shape. The driver's seat is quite comfortable with my back injury. I love the fact the back seat lays down and the simple operation of the dashboard features. The one drawback is I would like it to be sound proofed. I find the car to have to much outside noise.

Hyundai Accent - Top Notch
The Hyundai 2011 Accent I have owned and drove off the lot new has been reliable, fun to drive and one of the best cars I had ever owned which are numerous. The features that only a few years ago would be considered standard only for higher end brands and models is also standard with the 2011 Accent. The noise level of this size car is amazingly quiet even compared to many mid-sized cars ... and mine is a standard shift which I ordered specifically which sometimes you prefer hearing the engine but it is at "just the right" noise level where a normal conversation with passengers can be held at whatever power level the engine is producing during acceleration. The four valves per cylinder and instant response for this type car allows the engine to breathe as only specially-built performance engines used to have not that long ago and performance when needed at higher RPM's to pass or "make space" from the pack is surprising when utilizing the entire power spectrum as the designers intended.
The car may be driven "grandma style" with expected lower performance, or "peppy" which demonstrates its "camouflaged" potential but without overstepping the design potential of the car which I know many people do not understand, or want to, which leads to the inevitable lowering of the car's lifespan, but that would be the owner's fault with any car they have, not the car itself.
Gas mileage is also surprisingly good (still mid-30 mpg but had over the advertised mileage when new) even after years and many miles of driving and still yields great mileage and power. The only wish would be if there were one gear higher for the approximately 70 mph highway speeds to lessen the load on the engine and increase mileage.
The two door Accent is no longer offered unfortunately, and the new four door models adds to cost, weight and reduces our choice.
I guess after my review it does sound like I still like the car ...and you would be right on target!
Thanks for this opportunity to give this review.

Right side camber adjustment bolt needed to be installed to allow adjustment against a slightly out of camber alignment causing tire wear.
Needs one higher gear but lower gears are good at speeds to 65 mph.

Hyundai 2011 Accent Review
Overall its a good car especially good on Gas Mileage. The Air Conditioner is also very good but it does have some issues like in the Winter the Heater takes a long time to warm the Car's interior. The Car also has Brake Noises though the Brakes are ok according to the Mechanics, the Car's Road Noise is also a downer but overall, still an acceptable Car for what I paid for it.

The only defect with the accent is the ignition coils. After some careful research many many accents 2011 have that issue. Corporate will not let me get or give me a straight answer. I was given points to compensate and the Corporate people won't release them. I don't think they want my wife and I to be Hyundai car owners. Don't understand why except the money issue. My uncle was in the US army to keep South Korea free.
I actually want to continue to be a Hyundai customer but the corporate people need to be more consumer minded. Customer service should be the number one priority in any business . Courtesy does the customer service very well.

Ignition coils are defective. Car is never abused or smoked in and no children or pets in vehicle ever. We wanted to trade in but corporate seem they don't want with their apparent lackluster customer service. The car has been paid off for quite some time. Not anything to do with Courtesy Hyundai it's corporate! We just wanted the points because of four times of service issues with the ignition coils! Thank you.

Do you like Replacing Ignition Coils? This is the car for you!
I bought a new Hyundai Accent Hatchback out of necessity. Over the years i have come to the realization that this was a mistake. This is not my first car, though it is my first Hyundai. It will most likely be my last.
Since purchase... i have now had 5 ignition coils die on me. I have never had a single ignition coil die in ANY previous car i owned or leased. The first three were covered under warranty. They all went at separate times. We had to fight to get the 4th grandfathered into the warranty. My car is currently at the dealership with number 5.
If you were to go on line and type in 2011 Hyundai accent ignition coil... you would see other reviews indicating that this is a widespread problem. Unfortunately this has not been recalled.
The dealership will not repair without charge... so we're now being told by Hyundai corporate that it will take 3-5 days to research. I've been without my car for over a week. I finally decided to just have the dealership do the repairs and that i would eat the cost, and contact Hyundai Corporate to see if they could do something for me. I literally just got off of the phone with a Rep who said they could do nothing. It will take a literal act of God for me to buy a Hyundai again.
This has been "an experience" that i do not wish to repeat. You shouldn't either.

Dependable and economical. Very fuel efficient. It is not the most stylish car but it gets you to where you need to be and return you safely where you are suppose to be. Used this car when our work was 100 miles one way and it has not let us down. The maneuvering is easy. The price paid was well worth paying
