  • Good little car all round

    Ride could be a bit smoother, I has a pretty exterior good for city and good on the highway could have bit more power is 5th and 6th (they are a bit gutless). It has been reliable and cheap to maintain the tires are cheap for a car. great ABS and the grip in the winter and despite the fairly low clearance front wheel drive it can actually go though a foot of snow with a decent driver.

  • Great little commuter car

    This fits the bill of reliable commuter car. It won't wow anyone, but it's light, economical to run, and bulletproof from a reliability standpoint. Look for a clean, low-mileage example to get the most out of your purchase.

  • Great Car

    Low sport sedan type car I have the highly tech version plenty of leg and body room in comfortable seats the air conditioning is strong and it heats well in cold weather. The steering gives feedback and braking is excellent. The acceleration is very good and is has stability control and traction control. Once I stopped fast on an icy road and the systems stopped it beautifully . Many other features found only in luxury cars like auto locks cabin filter and good stereo and gauges I like it !!!

  • Very Rare to find and expensive gearbox

    I liked to used Hyundai Accent very comfy however the CVT Gearbox of Hyundai Accent 2015 was the most expensive and rarest gearbox in the middle east. This car will consume of your time and waste your money. so, whenever you buy Cars check the gear and never buy CVT gearbox or u will lose ur money.

    never ever buy another! The non-action received from the dealer and Hyundai have left me with a vehicle that does not operate properly. Please take my warning and shop elsewhere for a vehicle .
