Home away from home

I use this vehicle in a commercial capacity traveling all over the CONTINENT east to west, north to south putting sometimes 20k mi. ,10 of which it's being towed and 10 driven, in a 6 week period. I put alot of $ into maintenance as I'm using it like it's a big rig, never the less, I sleep in it many nights when on the road, take oodles of supplies in it for all seasons, and conditions. It's being used way outside it's design parameters most likely. There is however, I believe and early blogs 2013,etc. confirm what I discovered after buying it used in 2015, the rear has a design issue and I run through tires. Every 20k mi. or so, I need to put new tires on the rear to be safe. It may be the tow assembly has an installation problem causing off tracking when being towed but since the blogs from 2013 had owners complaining about running through tires I figure it's not the tow assy.. I use the car doing Uber when at home for an extended time. I love the car. It's comfortable for a compact and does the job. By the way, it's a manual so that I can flat tow it behind vehicles I'm transporting...

I like it

I love my accent because is dependable, except for some minor issues I had a the beginning, like my break light, upper side, was not working, incabin mirror falling off, tires wearing off so quickly. Besides that I love my accent because is dependable and it takes me to where I need to go. Improvement on the radio is need it, I don't have a connection for my new iPhone. the radio is very basic there is no blue tooth.

attractive, practical and affordable basic transport

I have always liked the look of my hatchback accent. The stylinging has aged very well. Love the interior ergonomics and cargo practicality as well. My only complaint is Hyundai's overly optimistic fuel economy estimates. I am a fan of super thrifty cars. In that department, the accident is just okay, not the best. Far from the 40mpg hwy it was originally claimed to achieve. I routinely average only 33-34 hwy driving extra conservatively. Still decent, but just a disappointment when rivals like Versa note and Honda Fit do 40 or so. Still, overall, the 5 door Accent is a great little car.

Hyundai 2012 Accent points

Generally, a fun and easy car to drive. Visibility is limited when I am close to objects such as curbs. The vehicle get good fuel economy (40 miles per gallon highway). The sun visor on the driver's side is defective (an annoyance). The overall reliability is very good to excellent. I had the car for 8 years and I had no problems with the power train, electrical and fuel systems. Overall this has been an excellent car to own.

Great small car

We bought this car new when the new model was introduced. Its been a solid commuter for my wife for five years. Now that we are retired its great for shopping trips in the city. This car will go to our granddaughter in 18 months when she can drive.

Review of Hyundai 2012 accent by the owner the entire life of the car.

The car has over 104,000 miles for about 3yeRs I drove back and forth from my home in Georgetown Texas to Ohio twice a year for business which is 3,000. - 4,000 miles depending on weather conditions and route, plus 500-750 miles for my business which too me all over the state giving speeches to students, parents and teachers (about a total of 12500 student and 2,000 parents. Never had a mechanical problem and have only replaced 1 coil, spark plugs an air conditioner compressor (this is Texas).

Not a bad car

The car is great when I am not having to have the engine serviced. The car only has 42,000 miles and it has been in for engine service twice this year. Back in February and March for a engine misfire. Problem was not solved the first time it was brought in and had to be put back in shop the following week. Now this past September and October it was in for long engine start up and the smell of gas. Again the problem was thought fixed yet next day after I picked up the car, problem was still there. In the end, this time the fuel injectors were all replaced.

My four year old Hyundia Accent

Its a love-hate relationship in the fact that it is too small, not anyones fault but ours, or mine....I was not there at time of purchase...Everything mechanical is great...We especially like down shifting (don't know correct term)my grandson calls it "Bump shift" I love it...I don t think I will ever buy another car without it. On the downside its too low to the ground and hard to get in and out...I would love a high roomier small SUV I cant see out over the dash or side doors...I am trying to convince my husband to trade to a Tucson.

Review of Accent

The car is a great car overall-especially for what it is ---However, if you intend to haul anything or if you acquire a new grandbaby --you might want to reconsider to a little bit larger car. It drives and handles well

Its an econobox.

Its an econobox. It does not have a lot of power and does not get great gas mileage in the city, but it is well appointed for an inexpensive car and is kinda fun to drive.

2012 Hyundai Accent Sedan

So far so good for a low end vehicle. The car only has 22,500 miles so it has not really been tested?
