2014 Hyundai Accent Consumer Reviews

My partner bought her Accent new in 2016. She was looking for a good, cheap car; and that's exactly what she got. Not a lot of high-tech frills, but that's not what she wanted. I added an aftermarket cruise control and a remote starter (with the locks), and that's it. The little car doesn't feel little on the road, and in fact, seems to love 80 mph's for long stretches. The average mpg's is about 34, which is fine for us. If you are looking for a great small, trouble-free car, you couldn't do better than either a used Accent, or new Elantra

I’ve had my Accent for 2 years now and I’ve taken it everywhere! Gas mileage is wonderful! Rides good, looks good. My only issues is that the tires are too small to find a spare. The catalytic converter gives me issues but my mechanic didn’t fix it right. I highly recommend this car!

I own a 2012 Accent GLS and I’ve had this vehicle for 6 years now and it’s been amazing! When I purchased my Hyundai it had either 50 or 60 thousand miles and now it’s got about 105xxx miles. I love the features “my brownie” has which includes cruise control, Bluetooth, MP3, and many others! My little Hyundai has treated me very well over the last 6 years and she looks good too for a 105,000 miles! Shes been amazing and she lasts me for another 6 years!!

This was my first car that I bought myself. Loved it as a daily driver in all kinds of weather. Kept it maintained (very easy) not expensive with maintenance or gas. Would definitely recommend for a first car and lost it to a mishap beyond my control. I am going to miss this car but have many fond memories.

I purchased this car in used with 33,000 on the odometer in 2018. In the last 6 years of ownership and 60,000 miles later I want to bring to light some of the good. the ok, and some of the really annoying nonsense of this car. The Good: 1. Gets fantastic MPG and a really good range from full to empty. I get an average of 40MPG on the highway (according to the car). 2. Parking is simple and easy as the car itself is quite practical for the city streets. 3. Its simple. Perfectly simple. 4. MANUAL DIALS FOR CLIMATE CONTROL AND FANS. 5. CD player 6. Physical/Manual Parking Break 7. Replacing tires and changing oil is cheaper than a lot of the newer cars out there. (No oil leaks nor oil consumption for my car either). In general the maintenance is simple, easy, and accessible so if you are handy and knowledgable, a lot of what you need to isn't hiding behind frustrating design choices to impede its owner. The OK: 1. The room for rear passengers makes some longer roadtrips a little cramped in the back so make sure to let your passengers stretch out their legs if you're driving longer than 3 hours. 2. The trunk space is "ok" on the sedan model, however, with the rear seats down, I fit a 7-foot Christmas tree from the trunk which went up to the radio (with no contact to the LCD itself). It is also spacier than you'd think. I've moved 3 people, and myself a total of 5 times and held stacks of boxes and decently sized furniture (like chairs, tables) during those moves without issue. 3. The Steering Wheel is a little thin for my liking compared to other vehicles. It isn't awful or a deal breaker, but it could be better. 4. Slightly noisy cabin from the road and the wind, but not atrocious. It is an economy car after-all. The Bad: 1. Not as much trunk space as you'd like. 2. The blower motor AND the window control switch on the drivers side went out sooner than expected. The blower motor was simple to replace, but it was frustrating to see it go only 5.5-6 years from its manufactured date (3/17). If you DO need to replace this, the OEM is Mondo which is made by Bosch. The window control switch was annoying, and frustrating to replace. You have to take the plastic panel off from the door (fine. whatever. You'd have to with any car) but to replace the switch itself you'll have to tear off a block of foam and then glue it back down once you've finished as they melted down plastic rods attached to the panel to seal it into place. Your access to the 4th screw is obscured by this foam so you have no choice (unless you have a tool that goes in at a 90 degree angle and a size P00 with 5mm clearance). 3. The interior doesn't feel 100% solid but it doesn't feel like you can pull it off and toss it around either. Overall, I'd recommend this car if you need something inexpensive, reliable, and you don't mind the fact that you're in an econobox. I've driven up to the mountains a few times with a few passengers and our gear. So if you do any outdoor activities, know that it isn't a puddle-jumper by any stretch and will get you to your destination just fine.

okay vehicle with decent mileage. I wish the vehicle had higher clearance since I always scrape the bumper when I park.

We have a 2017 accent. We bought new. It has 40000 miles. We have never put one cent in repairs. Just normal maintenance. Replaced brake pads.

Its a good car for work and highway, my wife uses it for apps like instacart, doordash, etc... great trunk size for a hatchback. Easy and cheap to repair. Very good MPG considering its has 11years
