I don't care for other vehicle companys, just these two.
A: The Suzuki is bigger inside and out, but the gas mileage is worse than the Hyundai's because it is bigger and heavier.
Performance wise, thse cars are about the same, but the Suzuki is slightly faster. The cheaper car is the Hyundai.
Both cars are reliable and cheap to buy and own.
The Suzuki competes with the Hyundai Elantra which is a little bigger than the Accent.
The Accents gas mileage is better than the Reno's.
Q: 2008 hyundai accent customizing?
so i just got a 3dr 2008 hyundai accent and i was wondering where i would have to go to find something to customize it? kits, performance parts..anything. anyone know any sites? and it's slow as hell...any suggestions on how to boost the hp a cheap way?
A: Um, why did you buy an Accent if you want performance and style? If you have all this extra money, why didn't you get a Tiburon GT with V6 or at least an Elantra 2.0? The Accent is fairly old and outdated at this point, so there probably are after market parts available, but its not like this car is a hit with the tuner crowd. BTW, do not buy any of those cheap mod chips/tornado's you see on ebay that claim to increase MPG and HP, they don't work and can harm your car.

Today I left it to get it's second oil change, but do I have to do something else to keep in a good state?

Q: Does anyone drive the 2007 or 2008 Hyundai Accent 2-door?
If so, what do you think about it? Please don't link me to websites with reviews (I can do that on my own), I want "real people" opinions. Thanks!
A: I bought the 07 GS Hatchback and I am very pleased with it! It only has 2900 miles on it so far (all mine) and I have been averaging approximately 39.5 MPG. I live at high altitude, start slowly, and drive below the speed limit. Personally, it's worth it to me. Others may want to drive faster and while others may want to drive like they want to win the Indy 500. Their fuel economy will reflect that. My only gripe is that the doors are very big and cumbersome and that the seat belt is hard to reach. Otherwise, as a commuter car it is perfect! I checked out the Toyota Corolla but I didn't feel that the difference was worth an extra $2200 although it probably would have gotten better fuel economy (probably 40+ in my case).
The Yaris was too goofy for me and it felt less powerful than the Hyundai, even with my wimpy driving. Having the speedometer in the center of the console was a bit weird for me too.
The Hyundai also looks a bit more European in styling and I can appreciate that. There are way too many air bags in that car too.
Having a hatchback is useful. I can fold down the rear seats and the car will swallow an occasional 8 ft plank of wood.
My hope is that this car will last me 10-15 years, or until it makes economic sense to change. At the moment, with gas prices the way they are and seeing that there is no new technology which will overwhelm, undercut, and over take gasoline engines, the Accent is a good deal.
Enjoy!
Q: 2008 Hyundai Accent Sport?
Im pretty close to making a decision to buy the 2008 Hyundai Accent Sport. Anyone out there already own one? What's your thoughts?
A: Caution is needed. I definitely would not recommend this vehicle. The reliability ratings are not that great (average to below average). Resale value (which tells you a lot about a car and how well it is expected to hold up) is among the WORST in its class. Plus, this car only earned 3 star crash test ratings which is just "acceptable" for front crash, "poor" for side crash and "poor" for rear, compared to other makes such as the Chevy Cobalt, Chevy HHR, Toyota Yaris etc etc etc. Just avoid this car if safety, reliability, performance, quality, resale value and efficiency is important to you. Good Luck

Our compact sedan is earning kudos for Best Small Car Ownership Experience from Strategic Vision's 2005 Total Quality Award. When you combine segment-leading safety equipment, interior roominess (it has got the most interior volume for a sedan of its class) and power (the 2006 Accent's 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder engine with CVVT is the most powerful in its class), and then back it all up with America's Best Warranty,¢â it's hard not to take notice.
"Superior Green Score" - 2007 Accent: The Accent was named one of the "Greenest Vehicles of 2007" by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, in an award based on automakers' test results for fuel economy and emissions as reported to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, California Air Resources Board and other specifications reported by automakers. The Accent is certified as an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV), delivering up to 37 mpg (automatic transmission/highway).
Edmunds.com Editors' Most Wanted - 2007 Accent: The Accent was named Edmunds.com Editors' Most Wanted Sedan Under $15,000 (tie)
Strategic Vision's 2005 Total Quality Award™ for Best Small Car Ownership Experience - 2005 Hyundai Accent: Strategic Vision's 2005 Vehicle Experience Study™ was conducted in October and November of 2005 and surveyed 40,793 new vehicle buyers of 200+ models after the first 90 days of ownership.
The GS 3-door manual transmission with the popular package (Air conditioning, AM/FM/XM/CD/MP3 audio system with auxiliary input jack and 6 speakers) after the current $1500 rebate is only $11715 retail and you can probably get it under $11K, the Focus will definitely cost you more. This is the best car for the money, but if you are willing to spend more of course you can get more like an Elantra or Mazda 3. Plenty of dudes drive Accent's, probably more then girls.
Q: 2008 Hyundai Accent?
I just recently purchased a 2008 Hyundai Accent 3 dr Sport. I would like to know how many km's I should be getting from one tank of gas. Im only getting 400km's and it doesnt seem right to me.
A: Your car is rated at 40kpg city/53kpg highway. So, assuming you get somewhere in the middle (46.5kpg) and you have a 14 gallon tank. Assume you use only 12 gallons prior to each fill-up so as not to run out of gas, you should be able to 558km's per tank. Now, you just bought your car, so you must recognize that your kpg will not reach its peak until you have a few thousand kilometers on the car, it takes some time for engine to fully break-in, so your fuel economy should increase in the future.
Q: 2008 Hyundai Accent Install Radio?
We just recently bought a Hyundai Accent without the radio. We are installing our own, but are unsure of how to remove the face plate where the radio will be installed. Just looking for some advice. Thanks.
A: my answer is try to check it out first on auto repair shop..
Q: 2008 hyundai accent and e85?
i accidentally put e85 fuel on my 2008 hyundai accent. at first there are no apparent problems until the tank is almost 3/4 empty. the check engine light turns on. i asked my friend what to do. he said to fill it up with regular gas because 1 full tank of e85 wont do any harm to my car. so i did what he said and tried to drive my car around hoping the check engine light will go off... but unfortunately it didnt. my other friend did the same thing and she paid 500 dollars in the dealership just to drain and flush the tank? i think its a rip-off so what should i do???
A: Keep refilling the tank with regular gas. It should go off, eventually. One tank shouldn't ruin it...it just needs to get out of the fuel system.
Give it 5 or 6 tanks and if it doesn't go off, take it to the mechanic.
Q: 2008 Hyundai Accent GLS Power locks and Windows?
So a couple days ago I bought my first Brand new car. A 2008 Hyundai Accent GLS. It wasn't quite the car I wanted but the only one I could get financed for without having to pay half down. That's due to some hiccups in my credit not belonging to me. Anyways what I was wondering is since the car has manual locks and mirrors, is it possbile to convert it all to powered? I mean they asked if I wanted a sunroof installed when I purchased so this should be possible, right? Anyone know of anyone who does it in the DC/Baltimore area?
I guess you missed the part where I said that was the only car I could get financed for so I took it because I needed it and it's not that bad of a car. I am just looking at some options to upgrade the car some.
A: no.why didnt u buy one that already that stuff?
Q: 2008 Hyundai accent a good car to buy for the money?
A: I would think yes. I bought a 2007 Hyundai Accent new a year ago and I love it. It's great on gas, goes good through snow.
Q: Which is better a 2008 Hyundai 4 door Accent or a 2008 Subaru 4 door Impreza Sedan?
I'm car shopping, I totalled my 2004 Corolla LE. I live in Oregon where it sometimes snows and rains a lot most of the year. I need a car that is safe and not too expensive. I love the Impreza and it drives very well. I'm in college and need something that is reliable. Thanks. =]
My college is at a little higher elevation as well.
A: The Subaru Impreza is a million times better. Subaru's are extremely reliable. They are also well made and very durable. You said you live somewhere that gets snow and the AWD will make a huge difference over the front wheel drive in the Accent. The Subaru will also hold its value a lot longer. In a few years the Hyundai will be worthless.
Q: 57 mpg in a 2008 hyundai accent unheard of? impossible?
