Hyundai Accent (2006 - 2009) 1.4 Atlantic 3d Auto (2008/08) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Probably that I couldn't give a stuff about the badge on the front and can make up my own mind. This is quite correct - I don't and I can!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Well, nobody has said anything nasty. It is quite an anonymous car, which is just fine.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Probably not as it's an end-of-line, but I'll certainly look at Hyundai's offerings in 3 years; they're always good value and the dealership I go to is excellent.

What are you likely to buy next?

Probably another Hyundai. At the very least I'll check out their offerings first.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£7,295

When did you buy the car?

October 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got an excellent deal due to the £3k discount already and trade-in proce.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Replacing a 4.5-year old Hyundai Getz

What was the dealer like?

Very polite and helpful. I was allowed a long test drive ~20miles and at the end no pressure to buy.

What's it like to drive?

Certainly nippy enough in town but takes a while to get to speed on motorways, although once there very quiet.

What's it like to park?

It has a Focus-like bulbous rear which means a little thought has to go in when reversing in. On the whole, it's quite easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing

What's most practical about your car?

Huge boot with the seats folded and indicators on the right side!
