Reviews on 2013 Hyundai Accent GLS?

Wasup folks,

I’m considering buying a 2013 Hyundai Accent GLS, and I’d like to hear from anyone who has owned or driven one. Specifically, I’m interested in:

  • Performance and fuel efficiency
  • Interior comfort and features
  • Reliability and maintenance costs
  • Overall driving experience and any notable pros and cons

Any insights or personal experiences would be really helpful in making my decision. Thanks a lot…

If you are looking for more power and control, opt for the manual transmission. It typically experiences less drivetrain power loss compared to most vehicles.

JD Power rates the car’s dependability at five out of five, which is higher than the industry average.

One is mine. 180k is still going strong. It’s OK with routine maintenance. The 1.6 seems a bit underpowered when compared to more recent, comparable models. But it’s excellent in the snow and decent on petrol. I just drove a Kia Rio (2021), and in contrast, the gearbox was really smooth. However, that’s technology and improvements in automotive design. I just sold it because it was a manual and I needed something more comfy because I also had a 2010 accent and had to sit in more traffic. If not, I would have retained that.

Throughout the five years I had a 2012 Accent, I experienced no serious problems. The tyres needed to be replaced, which was the most costly repair I had to undertake.

Traded it in recently for a new Ioniq at 135K miles.
