Test drove the 2021manual. Solid, well made little vehicle. IMO, this model is Hyundai's best kept secret. Highly underrated and often overlooked because most people opt for the Elantra.
I had a 2000 Elantra. A great car. In many ways the 2022 Accent is a better. I drove the 2022 Elantra. More room and more power but did not drive any better than the accent. I think the Accent is a bit more responsive and better on gas.
@@richb1576 Yes Rich. I think the Accent is now, what the Elantra once was.
@@richb1576 I bought an Elantra new in 2018. I didn't even test drive the Accent because I was more comfortable with the size of the Elantra. I really hope the Accent is more reliable than the Elantra. Mine was riddled with mechanical and electrical defects right off the dealer's lot.
@@palebeachbumWere they resolved quickly?
@@palebeachbum So far so good
I have put 2000 miles on it with no issues.
I know 2000 miles is nothing but having issues this early would not be fun
I am 66 and got a great deal on the 2022 accent limited 20,000 out the door!! After seeing this video, I am so excited!!!
How much did you pay for it? I paid 19K (before taxes and all o the other fees) for a 2021 Accent with only 11K miles on it.
I owned one for 3 years and fell in love with it. I was unsure about how I’d like it when I was on the initial test drive. But it’s a great car for a budget and I was never let down. I had fun with the accent and have no complaints at all. I drove it smoothly and it was great on gas and had a peppy drive and some soul to it. T he seats were comfortable enough and the trunk was large enough to carry all of my crap lol. It was well equipped enough and I don’t mind cloth seats. I prefer them. Congratulations and enjoy.
This review has made up my mind. I'm currently driving à Sonata (13 years) and my only complaints have been the loose steering and soft breaking. The 2022 Accent addresses both of these issues. I'm buying the 2022 SEL in Pomegranite Red. Thanks for an excellent review.
Just curious if you purchased a new accent yet?
Did you buy one? If so, how is it doing for you?
Curious minds would like to know 😝
@@maxracingteam23 Yep!
Loose steering and soft breaking is exactly right lol, I’ve had a sonata for 12 years
I have a 2017 model SE for 2 yrs now...brought it as a rental with 45000 miles on it.I was totally impressed from the 1st time i drove this to now. it's faster than most people who never drove one says, drives well, brakes really well and the 6 speaker stereo system(on the 2015-17 models)is much better sounding than most stock systems. seats are pretty good and have no problem driving in city traffic.in 2019 they are using the IVT tranmissions but mine has the 6 speed automatic which works great. only had to change the battery in the 2 yrs i had it. i must say that the GDI engine long term i would use premium gas to keep the carbon build up down. other than that for 17,000.00 dollars i would still buy one...really good car!
I like it so much. Bought it couple months ago. Comfortable for the city and easy drive on highway, if it 65-70 mph. Thank you for video. I forgot about drive bottom.
I purchased a Accent Blue in 2010 and am still driving it. It has been good to me. With very little spent in actual repair costs. I was considering buying this newer model, but they discontinued the manual transmission. I understand Hyundai/Kia IVTs (CVT) transmissions have been trouble prone.
All Hyundai/Kia auto trannys really. Beyond known to jump timing belts, super solid engines.
Had a 08' model until last year, 218k miles. Tranny went out at 110k. Why? No trans cooler up front. When I put the 2nd used tranny in, I put a aux cooler. Never a problem.
I had a Hyundai elantra 2007 for 10 years. I sold it to my cousin with 240, 000 miles because something was broken but I never had any problem with my car. She fixed and still working!!! She has been using the car for 5 years. I can say Hyundai is an affordable and good brand.
No major issues?and what's the most you spent on repairs?
I love the Accent because it reminds me of my 1998 Honda Civic, but with a modern design and amenities!
This is where I bought my 2021 manual accent from. I love it.
Great video, thanks for sharing! I'm buying one now.
Great video, Gold Pony! One thing I found funny was the description of the interior. It reminded me in cadence and tone of an airline flight attendant's spiel before the plane takes off (location of emergency exits, cushion may be used as a flotation device, place the oxygen mask on your face as such).
I've been on too many flights perhaps! 😆
@@goldpony Or maybe the Hyundai reminds you of a commuter airline! Have a good day!
@@goldpony Great video but maybe it would have been nice to hear about what's included with each model in Detail . For example , Cruise control , power windows / power locks , The AC , etc ,etc
Great review on Hyundai Accent. Thank you !👍🙏
Does the limited trim level have a maintenance reminder for oil change?
Should I buy Honda City 1.5L or Suzuki Ciaz 1.5L or Hyundai Accent 1.L (automatic cars) ?
I just ordered my 2022 red sel and can't wait until it arrives
Whew, how the prices have jumped.
Got my 08 hatch with 12k miles, in 09', for 6,900$
I just got one- love it so far, also wanted to note I’ve gotten the mpg to hit 45-50 on the highway pretty easy
I wish I could get a standard transmission. BUT, this car is a great car for a commuter. I daily drive a 1999 Saturn. Thinking I want a newer car again. Buying used is a joke in this market. Then I stumbled upon this Hyundai Accent. It has captured my attention that’s for sure!
Great review. Wish you gave the overall length in your reviews.
I'll try to remember to include that from this point forward! Appreciate the feedback! 😁
My daughter just totaled her 06 KIA Spectra SX and she asked me about this car (I drive an Elantra) and I was like - NO WAY - that's a step up from a smart car...then I thought about how many years have gone by (I got that Spectra new in 05) and my have sub compacts grown - I did the comparison and there is literally 1-2" differences between the 2 regarding the interior height/weight - then your review solidified that I will be ok with her getting one - I am with you and would prefer her get an SEL due to the rims and brakes mainly - the radio is a throw in - in my opinion.
Also - I bought a N Line Elantra a month ago with your review being part of my research - and honestly, I smile when I hit the gas too lol! Thanks for what you do and being so thorough.
I had no idea the accent still exists. Were they discontinued in Europe?
This is how you do a real world review of a car. Nice job.
Appreciate it!
Are the drum brakes a deal breaker? Sounds like it would be
I live in Canada, and I didn't even know Hyundai was doing this. Looks so much like my 18' Elantra!
yeah they discontinued the accent in Canada but it's still available in the US and it's a great subcompact.
Maaan this is the exact new car I wanted to buy, same colour too, but it's cancelled in Canada so I am looking at the Venue, but I prefer this.
I OWN A 2019 ACCENT SE THAT I BOUGHT IN 2018 CURRENTLY HAS 12,500 MILES. YES 12,500 . PAID $15,600 PLUS FEES AND TAXES. I THINK THE CAR IS PERFECT FOR CITY DRIVING. BUT UNCOMFORTABLE FOR LONG TRIPS. 10 GALLON GAS CAPACITY . 400 MILES RANGE PER TANK. NOT BAD AT ALL. IM HAPPY WITH IT.
I’m gonna give everyone a heads up regarding the seat comfort, as I recently sold my 2019 Accent:
The car is fantastic in almost every facet /except/ the seats, if you’re a lightweight person with no posterior cushion. I developed chronic pelvic floor pain during the couple years I owned mine, and an MRI confirmed nerve entrapment. I started having pain in my perineum right around the time I got this car, and the pain only worsened steadily with each passing month. I eventually had to buy a cushion once I started driving for more than just my work commute (DoorDash, Lyft, etc). It got to a point I couldn’t even do that extra work with the cushion, and finally had to sell it and get in a more comfortable vehicle.
The car never let me down for the 45k miles I drove it, and it was solid all around. But the seats? Brutally firm and don’t breathe at all. Give it a thorough test drive if you’re lightweight and have no butt, you may regret the purchase otherwise
Get in the weight room
Maybe you're also just driving too much. I'm skinny and I don't think I'd have your issue because I don't drive much. I work from home and when I do drive everything is within 30 minutes.
So what you end up doing cause I have a spark and it's stiff afbut it's my only car so...and it's got 23k miles
@@asmokingp3005 Sold mine, but I later did find a solution, and it’s both weird and really effective:
I found for my particular pain that I needed a seat cushion with a recessed center seam, thanks to the car I got after the Accent (2006 Sonata). I ride with my partner every so often in their 2012 Tucson, which has really flat and firm seats, so I went to a local Pull-a-Part and pulled out a driver’s seat bottom cushion from a 2006-2010 Hyundai Sonata (specifically driver, as the passenger side has a firm pad atop the foam for sensing weight to trigger the passenger seatbelt warning). Because the foam has a cutout at the rear, I zip-tied a towel beneath that section to the cushion, then put it in the Tucson. Worked flawlessly!
I’ve since gone and got two more such cushions - one for home, one to tote around as needed. I may look odd, but I am comfortable for the first time in years
Grab a bite from every doordash order and you wont be lightweight anymore.
Great review
Thanks!
Giambalvo is my local Hyundai dealer. Great body shop by the way.
I bought a 2018 Accent Sel fun 2 drive I love this car
Gold Pony, 10 years (if you drive less 10,000 miles per year). Hymn, is that mileage limitation something new?
I don't want to live in a world where an accent or 17,000 damn
8.5 second 0-60 is so much better than both my cars. I have a 2007 Prius and it take almost 12 seconds for 0-60 and it’s the only car I’ve had to, twice, get to the shoulder when merging cuz the damn thing is the slowest thing ever and when the merge lane is super small then it’s almost impossible to merge. And then my second car (daily, use the Prius for DoorDash and Instacart but sadly Prius is dying at 270k miles) is a 2005 mercury montego. 0-60 in 10.5 seconds. Love the montego for its ride quality and driving in town. But yeah I need a replacement for my Prius for deliveries and I think this car can be used quite easily. Great MPG, looks good, super cheap, maintenance free for 3 years. And thinking that maybe I’ll buy this accent, then when it the maintenance or warranty ends then I’ll sale it and get a new one.
It's called "verna", here in India. Reliable asf, i have the manual diesel, i recently got a stage 2+, churns out 180+ bhp.... given to the power to weight ratio, it can slay many cars above it's segment.
This 1.6 liter engine have a timing belt or timing chain?
Not a bad price at all. Front end makes it look alot more high class than it is haha and the other trims are all under 20k. Seems good
How is the long term dependently compared to Honda and Toyota?
Not as good
UNDERRATED CAR IN THE US, BUT THIS CAR HAS A SOLID reputation in other countries, very reliable and cheap to mantain
I miss the Accent. I wish we still had it in Canada 🇨🇦
Deleted in oz also. No one wants a sedan.
There isn't demand. Get a SUV
If you have access to the Hyundai Venue, it's a CUV based on the Accent.
i love my blue hyundai accent 😍
Wonder if they will bring the updated Hyundai Accent soon which is selling in different countries. They call theirs the Hyundai Verna.
does anyone know if you can add an apple carplay system in the SE?
In the Philippines, the Accent is really under spec but we actually buy it because it's the cheapest turbo diesel car... the only turbo diesel sedan in its class.
What do you mean turbo diesel? You duel it up with diesel??
$17,000 in today's market?? *Ha Ha* more like *$20,000* !! *For the basic SE version!*
Still a great car in today's market though.
I own two Hyundai and bee n satisfied with both. Hyundai and Kia so far have knocked it out the park, but getting rid of the Accent was the mistake.
Good review
Thanks!
Another TH-camr reported that the Accent was unstable on the highway. I can't remember what year model, but is this your experience in this car?
I drove a 2002 Accent till 2022 when the transmission went out at the end of November. I would have loved a new 2022 Accent but Hyundai discontinued the model and the only 22s I could find were used that were selling for over 22k in my area. I ended up getting a 2019 Accent and I have to say while I would habe loved a 22 model the 2019 model is extremely good.
How many miles you had on the 2002
@king 1992 126k. Only drove it work for the last 5 years so the mileage was low. Had to have some work done on it and the repair shop did a terrible job fixing it. Never ran right afterwards.
I love my Hyundai SE!
Our 2018 model after 106k miles got rod knock. Never missed an oil change
What is rod knock?
I just ordered a new Accent today. I should have it in a month or so. Can’t wait.
Good Luck with it, I just ordered a SEL today. I am 61 and have bought about 13 new cars. I have never ever paid MSRP before but now I have and felt I got lucky to find a dealer that wasn't gouging. Tried for a Chevrolet and they had a $3000 markup. Plus no long warranty or free 3 years of service! I welcome us to Hyundai. Let's Go Brandon!
@@brunothepug8807 yes! Lol Let’s Go Brandon!!
@@brunothepug8807 Include me! It's in transit and my 10k down is just waiting .-.
@@MaikeruT I just heard mine arrived today but there is the seat belt tensioner recall that they got to do first and then waiting on the parts.
@@brunothepug8807 did they say how long it would take for the parts?
Accent N-line with a turbo would be sweet!
I wish they had this!
21.1 avg mpg! No way, I prefer my Mirage that gets 54 mpg, Thank you Gold pony, love your video's!
He had already said that was due to sitting at idle for extended periods of time during filming. It gets MUCH better during typical use.
I bought a Hyundai accent SE I love it
Awesome car! Congrats! 👏
Do they have the accent hatchback?
Discontinued
I bought one on Monday- I love it. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t have a center console but I ordered one from Amazon
What was the console u ordered from Amazon
@@littlepassion2044 it’s 8X-Speed brand. It’s not perfect but it works
@@winterdillingham6069 Thanks for that information! I hate not having it either!
2:14 You have your side view mirrors set up wrong, just so you know.
Anyone know how to buy an Apple car adaptor for this car ?
Why does it say you are getting only 21 MPG?
Because I let the car run for an hour to get exterior shots so that pretty much destroys that number. Haha
What used to be a $12k car (with all the incentives) in 2018 is now $17k. A 40% jump in 4 years.
Some dealers are marking them up more to which is crazy
Well you voted for it. What did you expect Biden to facilitate Lower gas prices and low inflation? No you voted for 8 dollar a gallon gas and 20k basic subcompact car prices.
Demócrats my friend, we have the same problem in México
@@jalee6587 wtf are you crying about? prices have gone up every year no matter who's in office and the whole world's hurting with gas prices and inflation BUT THANKS BIDENS AMERICA I GUESS.
In the Philippines I think you can buy these things like any other car manufacturer here without SRS 😲 for cheaper price.
my 2022 Accent has a manual mode on your gear shift if you go down to drive you can bump it to the left and you’ll be in manual mode
Where do I get that model ?
I bought one of the first accents that ever came out put $2,000 down and drop a charge card that's how cheap they were but it was a damn good little car I'll tell you that it's a little stick and had the balls
If you don’t mind me asking what was your credit score then
I'm desperately in the market for a new car
Currently in a red 2014 focus se and it was been the worst purchase I've EVER made. The transmission is already skipping, looking for a trade in before complete catastrophic failure happens 😭
I just bought one. Was cheeper than most used cars on the lot.
I enjoy it driving it. I just need a reliable car to take me to and from work and a weekend away once and a while for me and the missus.
This was a great find for me.
What price you got it at? Seems like dealers are selling higher than msrp these days and there seems to be no deals anymore
@@guruprabhu_39915 They wanted 17,900 for it and 1000 for gap.
To make my numbers work he had to drop that to 17,500 and dropped the gap to 300 and beat my bank at 2.89 percent.
Im happy with it.
Thats all that matters to me.
@@richb1576 great.. am looking for one.. thanks..did you got automatic one ? SE?
@@guruprabhu_39915 They don’t offer the standard anymore. Just automatic.
I got the se. Would have liked to upgrade but there was a week or more wait and i needed a car.
@@richb1576 how do you feel in highway? Like merging on highway lane from entry… and keeping 70mph speed , is the power enough?
I have had a 2020 base model as a loaner while my car has been in the shop for the last 10 days. I have been amazed at how smooth, quiet, peppy, and fuel efficient this car is. It's fairly beat up, has 57,000 miles and has a few minor interior rattles, but good grief. It's so zippy, handles great, feels solid, no wind noise, and I'm averaging 40.1 mpg in town, according to the computer. Sound system is awful, no center armrest. tiny backseat. Overall, an amazing value, worth considering for any economy car buyer, even a used one.
Oh wow no armrest on this thing? What is in its place? Just space? I guess an armrest makes the car more expensive to make. Does it have the pull down armrest?
@@2004cyrus Nope, nothing, just empty space. You never notice an armrest until it's gone.
For 21000$ get a Elantra preferred. More space, better looking, better tech, screen design and larger trunk. The accent wasn't even available in Canada because it's no match for cars like a corolla at the Same price range.
Elentra SE 21K ?
I didn't know hyundai still selling Accent... not avaliable in Korea.
I think Avante(Elantra) replace Accent.
Good basic car, and even better if they still had discounts on them. Not currently with the chip shortage.
Hyundai dealership near me has a 5K markup on Accent.
Mine came with 500 dollar rebate if finance thru Hyundai.
They would not match the rate I got from my credit union.
I had the finance guy run both offers and my bank had a lower final cost at the end of the loan even without the 500 rebate.
That included gap as well.
@@richb1576 can't imagine spending 20 grand on an accent I remember when these things used to be 8000 LOL I remember they used to have the buy one get one free promo LOL
@@robertwilliams5618 I remember when comic books were a quarter. I remember when gas was 40 cents a gallon. I remember when cans of soda were 12 cents. Prices rise as the years go by.
The accent has come a long way. It reminds me a lot of the 2000 Elantra I used to have.
@@robertwilliams5618 $20k for an Accent, not even loaded, seems expensive to me too for an entry-level Hyundai. I too remember when the first-generation Accent was selling for around $8k new. I actually wanted one. They were decent cheap cars for the money. A leap forward from the Excel it replaced. My sister bought a new Excel for $6800 in 1994. It was a long time ago, yet not long ago enough for me to swallow the Accent now being 3x the price.
Beyond
2006 Hyundai Accent lasted forever. Wondering if this new model can last just as long...
308k miles 2010 running strong still. Original engine n Trans auto
I drive a 2012 accent Gls 153k miles on it currently looking to upgrade to another
Has it been dependable?
@@palebeachbum no major repairs. Oil change. Spark plugs. Ignition coils. I had to replace the shocks (I drive like fool) took it from Florida to Ga to Colorado for 2 years and back to FL it's my daily overall solid
@@bryanCLXT that sounds extremely dependable to me! The Accent has historically been one of Hyundai's most dependable vehicles since its introduction in the U.S. in 1995.
In ph accent has crdi ver. Great for long drives
Everyone here talking about the accent when the review was a tie. Btw mirage is a hatch so it’s has a sizeable trunk compared to Accent
Just recently test drive one
thoughts?
@@vianeyo.herrera2971 it’s a great basic car to start off with specially for 17k until tax and stuff but I’m interested in getting it next year if I change my mind about the Elantra
@@beautyqueentia12 If you get it at a dealership, it can run you almost 5K or more than that.
Seems like a solid little car! My sister just bought one. But I GUARANTEE Hyundai is lying when they report a 0-60 in 8.5 seconds.
nah they was serious 😭 i just got mines the other day nd i blinked 3 times nd was already touching 80 without sports mode it’s actually pretty fast
Do accent vs accent paul april baby
Great luck
Fuck. In 2010 i bought an Accent, brand new for 7k. Price is skyrocketing.
Faverite litte car
Reviewers are always dogging the acceleration of vehicles made for economy. They need to DROP IT.
These are not turbo I4 or V6. They aren't high compression V8s.
You're not doing any favors by making stupid comments about acceleration or performance.
Some ppl have to merge onto highways so I have to mention it. I wouldn't want someone to get hurt b/c a car is too slow & I didn't mention that
This car called Verna in our country
My only complaint is the hub caps. Get rims on this thing and it will be sweet, even in just the LE trim.
They should’ve added a turbo version
That would be fun!
It’s funny that this car almost matches a vw Jetta in 0-60 without turbo and cars like the Nissan Sentra take a full 10 seconds to get there🤯. A turbo version would probably leave everybody in the dust.
2014
17000 but thanks to car lots there 3-5k over sticker price
Amen! I thought I got a great deal on mine, but I got a decent one. This is the worst time EVER to have a car die on you when you need one for work. Then again, I have never had good luck.
Hyundai and Kia tell owners of nearly 500,000 vehicles to park outside due to fire risk
2022
ANYWAYS!
2021
2016
2018
2019
Too bad there is no N-line version with some more power.
N line version would be more expensive which defeats the purpose of a economy sub-compact vehicle. There's the N line Elantra and Veloster if you want more power.
@@braetonwilson4296 N-line Accent would be cheaper than those cars though.
Spoke few words went hell
17k is way too much. I’d snatch up a base Corolla or Impreza. If this gets discounted under 16k? Maybe. I think they made more sense as sub $13,000 cars without power windows, manual transmission, etc.
