Love my car!

Only regular maintenance. 104,000 miles and still running perfectly. I have the hatch-back and really love the fold down seats with the ability to get more in my car! Not really comfortable (CA to NM) for long trips but otherwise perfect.

Great gas mileage, very dependable vehicle

My vehicle is 15 years old. People told me then the Hyundai was of questionable quality and that it would likely have major problems before reaching 100,000 miles. I have over 126,000 miles now and have never had any major problems. A few minor issues that Hyundai should have fixed a decade back but never did successfully; i.e., sun visors refuse to stay up, passenger side window motor replaced a few times and still is inconsistent. I've learned to live with those items. My Accent is a bare bones model without a lot of bells and whistles. Even has manual transmission which I love to drive. It gets me from point to point and is excellent on miles per gallon.

Reliable

Nothing fancy. Handles well / good on gas / reliable in all types of weather. Surprisingly comfortable for an economy car. Good air conditioning and heating / defrosters work extremely well / easy to park.

Inexpensive to drive and repair

My 2008 Hyundai Accent has been an ideal car for my daughter to drive throughout college and the beginning of her career. It was cheap to buy and has been inexpensive to drive with gas mileage in the upper 30's mpg. Parts and labor are also inexpensive. What it lacks in features it makes up for in a great warranty and low cost of ownership.

08 still ticking

At 130k this car runs great! The plastic on the door handles are challenged with the Florida weather. The timing belt needs changing every 60-70k (this is expensive but is expected in the maintenance protocol). Also the cylinder coils will start to be an issue around 125K-there are four, this can be a cost also) If you follow the requested maintenance everything else should be fine.In general owning an old car one should expect yearly repair costs - so budgeting is wise. That said - it is still less expensive to own an older vehicle if you maintain it properly.

Love hyundai, and the accent is a real pleasure

This is my second hyundai, and I bought this after I had totaled my first vehicle a Santa fe. This is a truly economical, easy to maintain vehicle. It has four cylinders with overdrive and can easily maintain upper highway speeds with no problem

Review of my hyundai

Tis is my second Hyundai.It is very dependable ,and is suited for my limited use. I have never had a major problem with it. Its a "zippy" little car. It is perfect for me, Im like the " little old lady from Pasadena"--only drive my car once or twice a week.The hatchback style is great for moving . I have used it to move twice in a row.I dont need expensivel ooking cars,just something that will start up every day.

Functional Automobile!

The 2008 warranty was beneficial. Have had for 13 years, shortly. Great service enabled continued operation. For the value, appreciated. My main automobile is Hyundai Elantra, so only have 42,000 miles.

Berri

Best car I’ve ever owned. I have 195000 miles and still going strong. Still getting at least 25mph. Reliable and still fun to drive. No bells or whistles which keeps you focused on the road. Never replaced the transmission and it still shifts like new.

2008 and still running great.

I've enjoyed driving my 2008 Accent from the day I purchased it. Most of my driving is back and forth locally to work but once in a while I'll take and extended trip within the state. I've received my maintenance faithfully through this dealership over the last 12 years and have recommended this car and dealership to my family and friends. I've taken good care of my car and it continues to serve me like it was brand new.

Love Crown Hyundai

Crown is awesome. I have been a happy customer for many years. The online appointments are easy to do and also easy if you have to go back in and cancel or make a change. The dealership lobby is always clean and provides coffee, cold water and snacks. The customer service reps (Ryan Murray especially) are totally awesome. We get a simple understandable explanation of what needs to be done from most important to the ones that can wait a bit longer. They are very understanding how frustrating it is when our autos are under the weather. Thanks a bunch for being there for me when I needed service, and also when I bought my Hyundai Accent brand new in 2008 with only 11 miles on her. Kudos to all of you.

review of hyundai accent.

This is my 2nd Hyundai---it is a zippy little car (hatchback) very roomy, and just perfect for me. I have never had a problem with them. Being a senior citizen, the price is affordable for me. I recommend it to other people. Signed; Barbara Daniels, from Lansdowne.

I just love this model. I wish they made more like them. I purchased this model used and this is my first used car. I have not had any problems with my car and I am appreciative for that. I just need to find an antenna for it now.

Enjoyable for a short person

I purchased this vehicle used a little over a year ago. This is probabky the one vehicle I feel like I want to maintain for years to come. Definitely not created for a short person. Still spacious inside the vehicle. Plenty of leg room.

2008 Hyundai Accent

I strongly advise make a schedule appointment it is worth, the effort in time management. I was blown away with this outstanding customer service that I received in getting my oil change. It was exactly 40 minutes, 38 of those minutes was to change my oil and looking over my car. I waited two minutes for paperwork. Great job Eldee and Chelsea . If you want a dependable car, I advised you to think about purchasing a Hyundai. I have always taken my car to Homer Shelton for extra love and care. If you are good to your car it will be good to you. Yes, I time for my personal observation. Homer Skeleton, You Rock in 2019. A loyal customers for 20 years….2008 Hyundai Accent with NO Problems. Ronnie (Service Manager) kudos!

The Accent

I have a 2008 Accent. I have had regular service expenses. But in the 10 years I have owned this vehicle it has never broken down. It is the most reliable car I have ever owned. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone interested in great fuel economy and spectacular reliability. Great work Hyundia.

Good on gas. No problems with operation. Easy to drive and park. Looks stylish but practical. Has good interior placement features and has a good finish on outside that is easy to care for. No major recall on this vehicle. Excellent vehicle to own for me.
