Nothing fancy but I love it!

I bought this car in September of 2001. Absolutely little to no issues for the 1st 10 years. And then, the usual repairs to be expected in an old car. But it keeps on zipping! Except for the lack of AC, I love this car! Many thanks to my mechanic! When it's time, I hope to get another Hyundai.

Best vehicle for the value and prediction! !!

I have done some regular maintenance on my cars over the years not too much to say other than wow I've drive two years of Hyundai Accent and roughly six months to a year in Elantra. I've driven roughly eight months in a Toyota Corolla and three months in a Toyota Camry. My experience with driving the Accent 2002 vs. the Accent 1998 was that the 2002 has a slightly peppier engine. The wear and tear on the 2002 was slightly less significant than the '98. Both Accents are excellent in the snow up hills because the drive like a little like a Volkswagen Rabbit.

Car is very long wearing however not immortal!

I am noticing some rust on the exterior door panels not that this is an abomination for a car eighteen years old or so according to me. I wish I could assess the rust to the fullest and proper extent on the vehicle for this weight and size and model year! Would be nicer than to deal with the expense of fixing it all the time, however, had to insist on getting one of these from the beginning and now I am driving another Hyundai. They are fast around curves and have a smarter peppy little engine compared to the Ford of equal compact competition.

Car is very long wearing however not immortal!

Love this car which I wish it would last forever I hope it does. -Thanks I have driven this car to and from the far corners of the East Coast. This was my first car and it has been like a said a tremendous blessing. They are not terrible to drive. My car is having some suspension issues I hope it survives it may be because of my driving over city potholes.

Best Car I Ever Owned!

I bought my Accent in 2002. I have driven it and down California. The mileage is terrific and it runs even better after a long road trip. I have a hatchback and you cannot imagine all the goodies I have purchased and been able to take home. Thank-you, Accent!

2002 Hyundai Accent

This is a very basic vehicle...I bought it because it's a hatch-back. With the back seat 'down' there is plenty of space for carrying 'stuff'....I've carted 10 bags of mulch, my lawnmower...etc...easily. The 2-door has extra large doors...very useful if your passenger has mobility issues. Lots of legroom in the front. The overall quality of the car is most impressive. I regularly get 40 mpg (summer gas...37 mpg winter gas).

I bought this car brand new off the lot when there was a huge craze for them! I had to make a fast decision because people were literally standing in line for this car! I bought it in 2002 and I have over 225,000 miles on it and have done very little repair work. It is a work horse! It's traveled long distance for work for 10 years, sometimes going 85 mpg for long stretches (it did shake and shimmy a bit!). Overall, for just a commuter car with no extras, it has far exceeded my expectations and I wouldn't trade it in for anything! I've never had a car payment and it's practically paid for itself over the last 17 years. Hyundais are amazing!

Hyundai "Accent" 2002

I have been very pleased with my Hyundai "Accent" 2002 ! This car was previously owned by a cousin, and I purchased it from the dealership where she had bought it originally, and was turning it in to purchase a later model Hyundai. It had about 20,000 miles on it at my time of purchase, and I now have almost 90,000 miles of good service on it. I look forward to probably purchasing my cousin's present car whenever he turns it in. I feel that the Accent is a rugged car, and it has given me good service on both rural and urban roads and streets. Thank you for this opportunity to put in a good word!

I have my Accent GS for 16 plus years. It is best vehicle I have ever purchased. The maintenance has been very minimal all these years and the gas mileage has been fantastic. I recommend the Accent to everyone!

Old Faithful

This car keeps running. It's the second one I've owned. The first car I named "Ole Faithful" because she never quit. It's a great A --> B car with excellent MPG. It's not flashy but I bought it for the quality, not flash

Keeps on ticking

My 14-year old Hyundai is the best car I've ever owned. Fun to drive (manual), doesn't nickel and dime you with minor repairs, and is very reliable. rated at 27-37, I get 31/40.

It got the job done.

It got the job done, for a cheaper vehicle. The tranny went out at 90,000. It has been good with the exception of the exhaust.

Right Sized Car

Our Accent is a four door sedan with the 1.6 liter gas engine with direct fuel injection and double overhead cam. It is a nimble but efficient vehicle, great for city driving but still reasonable for long trips as long as back seat is occupied by children. Still, It holds four adults and still has plenty of power to move about. Rear seats fold down for oversized cargo hauling. Parking is easy with this semi-compact vehicle and driver visibility is GREAT out in all directions. Parts are readily available and inexpensive through after-market outlets.

Love my Accent!

I have been driving my Hyundai Accent since 2002 and I hope it never wears out! I drive windy, back roads to work 30 minutes each day and I love how my little car handles on the curves. I have had few maintenance problems with it. It is a very dependable car.10

Better than the Reviews

Critics underrated the 2002 Accent, which after 13 years and carrying hundreds of pounds of building materials, still gets 50 miles to the gallon if driven 50-55 miles per hour. The only problem I always had was that the manual transmission shifting was always rough until the third, the latest, clutch repair. Yet, I attribute this to my driving more than the transmission. My child has no problem shifting. Except for my new 2013 Accent Hatchback, the 2002 Hyundai Accent is one of the best cars, and the most durable, that I have owned.
