      The process of selecting a car is probably as exciting as the prospecting of owning one... Surely since you wont spend lakhs of rupees every other day, its a thing most of us decide upon after thorough inspection and survey... When I bought my Swift two years back, I had searched through all of mouthshut and other sites to read reviews of people who have already owned the car rather than believe on what the dealer tells you... I am glad I made the perfect choice... Its now been months together that I have been trying to shortlist a new car... I had been too tempted by the Accent for the pride of owning a Sedan... The others in contention for me were - the Dzire, SX4, Verna amongst the sedans, and Ritz, A Star amongst the hatches... Yes, I still considered the hatchbacks as they are some great offerings as I found out... I discarded the Dzire as I already own a Swift... The SX4 and Verna tought good, are too big for me! They look monsterous and would be a headache to maintain them - not to forget the parking troubles and drivabiity... The Accent seemed the obvious choice as it looked very very sleek and sophisticated, priced well below the competitors... The one thing that always bothered me was that the Accent is a dated product and very probable that Hyundai discontinued it or at least upgraded it with the new norms due soon... I still was willing to overlook it as I read some great reviews for it here... I took a test drive and here is what I found out.... I would first talk of the pluses... As soon as I put my eyes on it, I was bowled over buy its majestic and elite look in its champagne gold colors... It looks awesome... The interior provided quite good leg space... The drive was good in one aspect - that the pot holes are absolutely negated by this car... It rides smooth without a hitch... But that was about it... The first flaw I found in the car was that the car just doesnt have any power in the second gear! It was a very sluggish engine... Each time I came across a breaker, I had to go down to the first gear to pick up the car! Yes, at higher speeds beyond the 3rd/4th gears the car has no problems... But its second gear pickup was a total disappointment! Maybe because I am used to a Maruti - I never really need to go to the first gear at all after the initial startup! The second issue was the seats... The seats of the car are quite hard compared to those of the Maruti stable... Also, the placement of the rear seats is very erect rather than a tilted slanting backrest... Only after a 10 minute drive I felt the strain... The other issue with the car was its horn... The horn is placed in the centre of the steering wheel and it is so so hard to sound that you need to take your hand off the rim and explicitly make an effort to blow the horn with all your force of your palm! It was extremely inconvenient... The interiors of the car are nothing to talk about - they are very basic and dated... Besides this, I would end on a good note for the car - its drive is quite easy for a sedan... I had expected it to be difficult to handle being a big car... But it provides quite good view at the rear and sides, and also its turns and cuts are easy to manouver... To sum it up, I had read at many places that buy the Accent with your eyes closed... I would say you rather not... Do have a look at the options for sure... If you wish to own a sedan just for the name of it, yes its a good choice considering its pricing... But I would rather go in for a hatch like the Ritz or A Star - believe me, they are far better products in their technology, comfort and ownership - just that they are hatches... They are far superior as products to the Accent...StyleSluggish engine, uncomfortable seats

      Accent-GLE  is very very good car in this segment, competent to other costly cars.

      I have been used this car from last six months, I have great plasure to drive on highways as well as city. Smooth driving up to 1100 kms without hault.Mileage I got very very best 18 km/l with average 125 km/h speed & boot space full of laugage.

      Tyre grip, control is nice.

      Turning radius is also less, so u can easily drive in city as well as park anywhere.

      Rich color.

      Cheaper luxurious car!!!!

      --SUDHIR PATIL

      very stylish,rich, very good fuel economy, smooth driving exp.,sufficient boot space,nothing

      I thought it was too early for commenting on this car.  I have driven my Accent GLE for about 8000 kms due for the second service.  I see that my car has always been averaging from 8 to 9 kmpl. The dealer here claims that the vehicle should give me about 13-14 kmpl but i'm not sure how far it is possible.

      I have done highways a couple of times and I can bet this is the car for it.  It can effortlessly get to 110-140 stepping on the gas.  I still remember it gave about 11-12 on highways.  I'm hoping that the mileage will improve after a couple of more services.  Do you guys think my car needs a tune up? .... But for everything else this car is worth a buy.  Great boot space and a complete family car.  A total 4 out of 5 for this car.. This car can be recommended for all those who want to drive a smoother and a low maintainence car.

      Stylish, comfortable, fast, good view, easy to drive.fuel consumption is high

      I'm here to warn you guys if you are here to research before buying any of Hyundai product, plz research about the dealers too.I have put myself into wrong hands.Its Suhrit Hyundai, new delhi.They are buch of real bstards.They have made my life miserable.They were supposed to deliver me Santro GLS last week, but its still undelivered inspite of getting 90% of the payments.And they are not even giving a final date for the same.They dont even bother to pick up my call.And by chance they do say,everytime they say to give them 2-3 more days.Finally today I have lodged a complaint today with Hyundai about  all this.They have promised me to resolve this in 4 working days.Lets hope things get resolved soon.I dont know how will be their service post-sell if they are this bat before the sell.Plz keep warning your friends and relatives of such dealers, Suhrit Hyundai,Delhi in particular.

      Exterior Indeed it has been quite a good-looking car since a decade and a half and the power antenna on the trunk adds a bit more to that of course!

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Stylish is not the term I would prefer to describe the interiors of this sedan but yes, simple and user friendly would certainly do. Mine has an all-grey interior which is a li'l bit on the down side as I would have loved the beige one. But, the illuminated cigarette lighter and illuminated ash-tray is a great feature to have.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Awesome awesome awesome. GIVES YOU THE FEELING OF BEING IN A MUSTANG when you give it just that little bit of extra torque.

      Ride Quality & Handling Excellent car in terms of ride quality and handling. Especially when you are driving beyond 150 Kms an Hr, u get to see the excellence of this machine. Its speciality is its handling and cornering at high speeds.

      Final Words A very good value for money sedan to own. Dnt let your driver take away all the pleasure from you. Braking system is awesome. The anti-lock brakes work flawlessly. Trust me (saved me a couple of times) !!!

      Areas of improvement The rear seat requires a little more leg-space as it gets really crampy for a 6 footer like myself. A 2-din music system console must have been there as you would want to have atleast a JBL in your car... Wouldn't you ? Which unfortunately is not there. Even the Wagon R has man ! C'Mon Hyundai guys, wats up with you people ???

      handling & cornering,contemporary looks,decent mileage,acceleration,brakingrequires a li'l more cabin space,could do better with 15" alloys,single din music console

      I have been driving my Accent Executive for 10 to 11 months now. The car is amazing. I have been a Hyundai customer for the last few years owning a Santro and now going for a bigger brother. The drive is smooth. The car handles the potholes and bad roads excellently. The car also handles high speeds also excellently. The car is very silent and the pickup is excellent. It gives a good FE too. I am getting 13 with AC in city (Ahmedabad –Full traffic) and 16 to 17 gives in highway mileage with the average speed of 90 km. My car is running almost 14000 km in 10 months . After 6000km I am installing CNG kit in my care from outside dealer point . There is no problem in CNG also and my car running cost for 1 km with AC +City traffic = 1.3 rs/km .there is no pickup problem and I suggest this is the best option. The driving position is comfortable. The tilt steering is very useful. The front seats are very comfortable. The interiors are excellent. The colour combinations, the dashboard, etc. AC is awesome (more effective form Honda City ) . The car comes with lots of features like rear defogger, keyless entry , wood finish dash, body colored bumpers and side mirrors, tilt steering, leather wrapped steering ,gear knob and battery saver . There are a few drawbacks or shortcomings as well that Hyundai should have considered and that too being the only variant on offer. MP3 player and speakers should have been on offer for free or including in cost , seat height adjustment should have been present and most importantly no fog lights. These features mentioned here are by no means luxuries but basic necessities in a car and should be a standard fitment in this day and age . This great deal. Gives good value of our money. Overall, the car is a really amazing toy that one can pick up for a good price. So if anyone is considering this car, close your eyes and go in for it. Regards Jigar Patel – Gujarat-Gandhinagar 9998019002Very Good in AC+City (Ahmedabad –Full traffic) =13km(petrol) ,16 to 17 gives in highway mileage.very good

      Exterior Very good. Amzaing style, Good for all occassions.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nice to have them. The AC is chilling and suspension is amzaing you can actually feel the smoothness on the goods as well rough terrrains if driven smoothly rather than rash driving.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Eng. Performance is good, Fuel economy I get 9kmpl with ac in city and 13kmpl on highwaywith ac. And 15km per kg with CNG with AC in city and 18 km Per Kg with CNG on highways.. The car without CNG dont give much pick up and you can actually feel the difference while driving on petrol and then on CNG..Petrol gives the beast inside the baby to unleash, Amazing pick up and road control, It holds the road when running.

      Ride Quality & Handling Very good and excellent ride quality and handling is amzaing. I m in love with my baby.

      Final Words Go for Accent.

      Areas of improvement Reverse parking sensor should be a part of standard version.

      Very good performance, sturdy carThe dicki part has got rusted and few rust near the door panes below..rest is good.

      Exterior Stunning Exterior looks. stylish looks.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior comes with wooden dashboard - You will love it.. Only thing is if you place leather seats, it jus looks awesome.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is awesome, Gear box is excellent while shifting the gears. You can speed upto 140 with persons. Jus go for it. I bought this car in 2008 September and rode for 51000 kms. Till now I have never faced any major problems in regards with the engine. On city it gives mileage of 10-11kmpl and on highway it gives 14-16kmpl - both with AC. Its just an amazing car for all Sedan seekers. Best to buy for a Sedan Entry. Worth for Money!!!

      Ride Quality & Handling Best in class.

      Final Words Jus Love my car....!!! Itz awesome.

      Areas of improvement All Hyundai models provide good engine, but they lack in fuel economy. If this is corrected, People will not leave Accent or any other model from Hyundai!!

      Great Style, superb AC, Powerful, ComfortFuel Economy

      I have been using this car for the past six years and have driven 150000 and still the engine is in amazing condition, Still The maintenance is done only in intervals of 10000, A/C best in class. Even in city Heat, This thing cools very faster than other cars.

      And yeah, The braking, My CRDI is a version without ABS,The brakes are better than the Brakes in Swift, Even at 140, brakes can stop the car within 80 Feet.

      The Worst Part is the Resale value, I can see CRDI cars for 250000 Rs or less, Man I would say If you can find a well maintained Accent CRDI, go for it. One of my friend has accent CRDI in Which he has crossed 325000 with One Engine Overhaul.

      P.S – He still drives at speeds 80 to 120. Can you find any other car that can do this?

      Its been 1year and 18000kms since i bought the accent. Its also one of the wisest decisions i had made to buy this car. so lets begin the review...(PLEASE NOTE THAT ITS BASED PURELY ON THE MONEY YOU SPEND ON A MIDSIZE VEHICLE SO DON'T GO AROUND COMPARING WITH HIGHER END MODELS)

      Looks wise the Accent is very goodlooking, nothing flamboyant but very simple clean and muscular with a nice low look. The interiors and nice and refreshing in the beige colour. The seats are comfortable and quality of the plastics are good. If only they could have used brighter bulbs for the backlit dashboard. the tiltable steering and headlight leveling features are very useful.

      Performance wise this car is light and quick, its very easy to drive and has a good 1st and 2nd gear power, the 3rd gear could have been a little shorter to improve the power. Fuel economy is not very good, when i bought the car it gave me only 7km in the city with a/c on. but after a few changes and modifications it now gives me 9km.

      Ride and handling are superb that is if you upgrade on the tire and rim size. but even on the originals its fine for everyday commute.

      Overall if you plan to move up from a small car or hatchback then this is the car for you. for the money you spend you are getting a car with power tiltable steering, power windows, central locking, A/c and heater, excellent performance and comfort and alot of small but pleasant surprises which you would not think that you would get for this much money.

       

      An All rounder. Very easy to drive. Fantastic value for moneyFuel economy
