2006 Hyundai Accent 3 Door Hatchback 1.6L from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
Value for money
Faults:
Nothing.
General Comments:
A far cry from 1990s Hyundai workmanship. I am very impressed with its interior finish; although it is plastic everywhere, it doesn't feel cheap and nasty.
1.6 liter engine provides adequate power for day to day use.
Fuel economy of 7.5L/100km which is very reasonable.
Very happy with the MP3/CD stereo system. Steering wheel audio controls are extremely handy.
Plastic interior is however, prone to scratches.
Heated wing mirrors are perfect for cold mornings.
This is my first Hyundai. I am very happy so far.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

It's been 12 mths since my last review.
Just clicked over 50,000km.
Had its 45,000km service in March, All was good.
Only fault I can find is the Squeaky Clutch, sometimes when I put my foot down the clutch it squeaks. Will have it looked at the next service.
Replaced front tyres at 45,000km.
Overall very happy with the car.

I am the original reviewer. Odometer had just clicked over 35000km on my Accent.
Had the car serviced by a local dealer at 32000km. All was good, Have not had any problems with this vehicle yet.
At the moment 90% of my driving are highway driving.
I am getting about 7L/100km economy out of it.
Road/engine noise at 100km/h is quite noisy but still bearable. for some reason engine's tuned to do 3000rpm @100km/h, rather high I would think.
I may get a set of new tires for my car at the next service.
Overall, a very good value car.
