My Hyundai Accent 2018 is still under factory warranty. Raised the concerns with the dealership but nothing was sorted. Then contacted Hyundai Australia’s and to my surprise they took few weeks to respond back and then kept on asking the same information via emails number of times.
Finally they reused to offer any help. Spoken to CBS in Adelaide and they have advised that as the vehicle was purchased from NSW I need to register consumer complaint in that state.
I am now going to lodge complaint in NSW and seek legal help as well.
Purchased in for $12,000.

Bought for a daily commuter three years ago
Economical (under 6 litres per 100km)
Excellent power (100kW) for a normally aspirated 1600
Surprisingly spacious for a family of four, with decent boot for a hatchback
Fuel tank is a "real" 40 litres max, but no big deal
Interior trim has good plastics for the price, feels like a quality build
Main gripe is that the steering which is "sticky" in the centre
Was a bit disappointed that a reversing camera wasn't an available option
Suspension is "sporty" - handles terrifically around town but not great on bumpy roads
Definitely value for money, I'd buy one again
Purchased in at Hyundai Dealers for $15,000.

Hired a Hyundii30 Active Auto from Hertz Adelaide Airport recently, my first choice, a Corolla was not available. Impressed with the spacious interior and boot, we have 3 generations of Corolla hatches in the family and have become accustomed to small boots!. The interiors of Hyundais have come a long way, far better quality of plastics and an excellent dash-mounted tablet display with all the latest safety features, that is if you need the car to tell you you are driving across the white lines or off the road!.
All-round visibility is excelle...
Read morent, and the car is eager to pull away from a standstill, this is where it starts to go wrong. The ride is poor, I was feeling every change in road-surface jolt through the body, even minor imperfections in the tarmac were dramatically magnified by the roar of tyre noise. Over the two days we travelled some 275Kms, and on filling the tank the consumption was a disappointing 11.2 l/100Km. The car had been driven gently, as I would have driven my Corolla, using cruise wherever possible. However, the absolute worst factor is comfort. The seats feel OK for the first 45mins, after that your bones sink though the thin squidgy foam and your back starts to feel the strain. OK this is an inexpensive car, well equipped, and looks the part, but the engine is noisy, road noise is awful and a health warning should be provided for the seats. Hope the 2021 model addresses these issues, as this car WAS on my son's shortlist.- 4 reviews

How I wish I could get ‘a refund’ for this piece of junk. An absolute waste of money, avoid at all costs!
This car was gifted to us (brand new) from my mother in-law so there was no choice in the matter, but essentially this car has the worst performance, terrible features, faults galore and provides no enjoyment whatsoever.
The car absolutely struggles going up any incline, and if you’re ever in need of quick movement in traffic situations, you’ll quickly find yourself the victim of surrounding irate drivers. The motor is insanely sluggish -...
Read more even in the useless ‘sports mode’. Entering freeways poses danger when trying to merge as the tiny motor sounds like it’s going to burst before reaching 80km p/hr. The car is so poorly designed, there is constant fogging of front and rear windows ALL YEAR ROUND. There seems to be dirty air movement travelling through the vents constantly despite the car being professionally cleaned and diligently replacing the pollen filters via the overpriced official Hyundai service centre. Offensive smells emanate from the AC system every time it’s turned on. Parking the car is also difficult as the slope of the car from bonnet to window is quite steep, same for the rear, it’s quite hard to know where the vehicle actually ends. I don’t know how this car is classified as a sedan... it’s so small! Good luck fitting ANYTHING IN IT! we can’t even put 2 suitcases in the boot because it’s so small! The legroom in the back seat for passengers is laughable. I had more room in my VW Golf than this thing.Purchased in for $16,000.

It’s a cheap car to own, reliable and hasn’t given many issues but I can’t play any discs through the CD player. Have asked the dealership for the code to fix the issue but they want to charge me eighty plus dollars.
My wife and I were so excited in both buying new Hyundai Accent car's. Unfortunately to our amazement both cars have developed the same audio problems after only some years. I have owned cars for forty three years and I have never had a worse car radio failure in the same model car of mine and my wife's. Replacement price of the radio's has basically put us off and probably ever buying another Hyundai.

Ok so maybe not my dream car but this one is perfect for me my daily commute. A spacious cabin, smooth comfortable ride. Love the Apple Carplay touch display which lets you control your music, maps and podcasts. I've only had it for 6 months now so haven't had a service yet but there's no issues whatsoever. Exceptional value too!

bought the accent in 2016, and just bought the 2019 sport accent . love it
This car is super easy to drive, park it in any tight carpark or small space
-its not super wide so doesnt take up heaps of the road when passing on narrow winding roads.
-super super fuel efficient
-fold the seats down in the back and i can fit my large road bike with the wheel off, or my folding bike and heaps of travel gear.
-have traveled basically right around australia in my 2016 accent, and have just bought the new 2019 model
-lots of space in the front seats (im 6f and heaps of room to stretch my legs).
-i wouldnt buy any other brand of car since owning a hyundai.

Bought the car new and owned the car for almost 19 years. Very economical, reliable car. Maintenance has been scheduled servicing and very little else. Plenty of carrying capacity. A lot of road noise. The shock absorbers and the seats are a bit hard. Foot on the clutch required for starting. Great value for money.

I have had my Hyundai for 2 years now and I bought it new. It is a great little car to drive and I find it very economical on fuel. Handling is good and is very comfortable. I wish there was more little storage areas inside the car as it is difficult to find anywhere to put documents or anything you need to access quickly - I had a Toyota Yaris and there was little areas all over the place so I miss that.
The only real criticism I have of the Accent is the poor turning circle. It is almost impossible to do a U-turn so it turns into a 3 point reverse/turn and I would recommend not trying to do a U-turn at traffic lights or you will be in trouble and have to back up to complete it. Otherwise though this little hatch is good value for money.
