Overview

The 2016 Hyundai Accent is a subcompact sedan offered in a single trim, carrying an MSRP of $14,745. For that price, it mainly competes with the Kia Rio Sedan, the Nissan Versa, and the Ford Fiesta. With a single trim available, the Accent offers 2 powertrains. It is a 1.6L Inline-4 making 137 horsepower and 123 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 6-Speed Manual transmission and a 6-Speed Automatic transmission. The Hyundai Accent reaches 60 MPH from zero in 9.8 seconds with the automatic transmission, which gets pumped up to 8.6 seconds with the manual. Depending on the powertrain, the Hyundai Accent can manage a combined fuel economy between 30 and 31 MPG. While we're on the topic of choices, the 7 striking colors the Hyundai Accent comes in really pull you towards itself.

              Great reliable car

              Pros - ["Doesn't break down", "Great gas milage and turning ratio", "Good acceleration"]

              Cons - ["Plastic parts", "No spare tire", "No cruise control"]

              My kids have crashed this car several times and it still runs great. It's got 150,000 miles and still going strong. I plan to buy a similar model when this one dies. Great cat which I never would have guessed when I bought it.

              Great car, reliable, takes a beating, right steering radius, good acceleration I've put over 100,000 miles on it, taught my kids to drive, my son crashed it and it still runs. Decent price and good mileage......

              This is my car

              Pros - ["Good mileage", "Serious xm radio", "Control over headlights"]

              Cons - ["Too compact", "Not a hatchback", "Don't care for the color"]

              My car was not picked by myself. I don't care for the low front bumper. If I won the lottery I would pay this car off and trade it in for another. I wish it had more features. Such as a back up camera and a hatchback.
