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 car

Love my accent. Fun car to drive. Excellent mileage. Comfy car for the price. Would buy another accent if I needed a new car. Took my car too the dealer and all is fine for my 2012 accent. No concerns.

my excellent Accent

Hard to believe there is so much room in the hatch. we fit 2 large Vari-Kennels (2 halves inside each other) and used the space for the luggage and our 2 GSPs had room in the rear seat.It gets good mileage. I test drove other small vehicles and found many over priced for what was offered. Many did not have that "solid" sound when I closed the door. My previous vehicle was a standard transmission 2003 Elantra sedan, only gave it up when a knee problem kept me from being able to shift.

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.

Not pleased

I will most likely not be buying another Hyundai. After 60 thousand miles, almost EXACTLY when my warrantee expired my engine timing got off and had to be updated which cost me 200 dollars AND my crank shaft position sensor failed and had to be replaced at 500 dollars. There is also a short in my computer board that will cost me 2000 to replace, something im not willing or able to do. Overall, I'm not pleased with the car and will not be investing in another Hyundai car.

Still looks like a new car.

I love my accent. Never allow eating or drinking in it. My friends think I’m a little picky. ?Hope I never have to replace it. I only have it serviced at the dealership. I like the popcorn too. Like to bring some home with me.

2012 Accent Hatchback... discontinued

The car gets very good gas mileage. With good conditions (especially wind) I can get 40-42 mpg at 70-75 mph on the Interstate. The technology (especially entertainment) is a outdated on the 2012, but that's to be expected. It's an economical car and that's why I bought it, so didn't expect a lot of power.. I've had no engine problems. I'm very sad to hear that Hyundai discontinued the hatchback, so I won't be buying an Accent again.

burns gas and oil (more than normal)

My vehicle does not good gas mileage and it burns oil between oil changes. The car was not worth the purchase price. The car gas mileage is very poor and the car’s oil light comes on between oil changes. I bought the car brand new and this is not normal.

Great Little Car, Very Dependable, Economical and Fun to Drive.

The 2012 Hyundai Accent SE hatchback has been great so far. Its’s fun to drive, zippy little car, with plenty of cargo space. Has been very dependable and easy on the wallet. Only one major problem, the digital dash instrument panel display stopped working around 90K miles. Outside of that no other major issues, recommended service schedule has always been done. It’s my daily driver.

My Hyundai Accent

I bought this car used with low miles and I have not had any major problems with it. It runs great all the time. I did have a problem with sluggishness and it just needed an update which was taken care of by the dealer. I have been on several long trips (6 hours and 10 hours) and had no problems whatever and the mileage was great. If I need another car, I will get a Hyundai.

2012 Hyundai accent

Accent ha sido un carro que tiene todo lo que esperaba al comprarlo. su seguridad , la comodidad interna, la garantía de 100.000,millas, todo que ofrecieon ha sido cumplido, y hasta en lo de las millas por gallon en cuanto al rendimiento de gasolina, que no fue lo ofrecido me han recompesado por fallar

Never a Problem!!!

Wasn’t looking for this car when I bought it but was surprised at how great it is for a small car. It’s a 2012 and not one problem in seven years. Totally impressed with the car and was terrific on gas. Great little car!!!

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.

My Hundai Accent

I love my Hundai Accent, the best car I ever owned and I have had a lot of cars in my lifetime. Don't know what else I can say about it. Maybe I could just keep repeating everything. Like I said, just love it color and all.

What a great car!

Have this car since 2012- purchased new. It is a comfortable ride, roomy inside and the back seat folds down for transporting items. I've been amazed at what I can fit into this car! With regular maintenance, it has functioned as well as a new car- even after 7 years. Despite not being a newer model, I have had many compliments on the Accent. It has proven to be a reliable, quality-made car for long or short trips and I expect it to be a car that will be in my ownership for many years to come.
