Question: Which car is better, a 2008 hyundai accent sedan or a 2008 suzuki reno?
I don't care for other vehicle companys, just these two.

Answer: The Suzuki is bigger inside and out, but the gas mileage is worse than the Hyundai's because it is bigger and heavier.
Performance wise, thse cars are about the same, but the Suzuki is slightly faster. The cheaper car is the Hyundai.
Both cars are reliable and cheap to buy and own.
The Suzuki competes with the Hyundai Elantra which is a little bigger than the Accent.
The Accents gas mileage is better than the Reno's.

Question: 2008 hyundai accent customizing?
so i just got a 3dr 2008 hyundai accent and i was wondering where i would have to go to find something to customize it? kits, performance parts..anything. anyone know any sites? and it's slow as hell...any suggestions on how to boost the hp a cheap way?

Answer: Um, why did you buy an Accent if you want performance and style? If you have all this extra money, why didn't you get a Tiburon GT with V6 or at least an Elantra 2.0? The Accent is fairly old and outdated at this point, so there probably are after market parts available, but its not like this car is a hit with the tuner crowd. BTW, do not buy any of those cheap mod chips/tornado's you see on ebay that claim to increase MPG and HP, they don't work and can harm your car.

Question: Where can I get Kit & Harness for 2008 Hyundai accent?
I've been checking all the stores and everyone says they don't have it. Now I'm wondering if the kit & harness are the same as in the 2007 model and the computer system is not updated yet.

Answer: you can probably find one at walt mart or on ebay follow this link

Question: I just bought my Hyundai Accent 2008 and I was wondering what kind of maintainance do I have to do to it?
Today I left it to get it's second oil change, but do I have to do something else to keep in a good state?

Answer: If you are wanting to keep it maintained the best just follow the schedueled maintenance that is stated in your cars Manual. It has different maintenance logs for different styles of driving. Following this will be best for you car.

Question: What would you offer if they were asking 12950 on a 2008 hyundai accent? There is 9000 km on the car.?

Answer: Funny how people know so much about Hyundai's to run them down, but can't answer you question. While I don't think they will take it, do as one answer said, offer 11,000. Starting there gives them room to come down and you can go up.
By the way I own 2 Hyundai's cars and have found them to be very good cars.

Question: Does anyone drive the 2007 or 2008 Hyundai Accent 2-door?
If so, what do you think about it? Please don't link me to websites with reviews (I can do that on my own), I want "real people" opinions. Thanks!

Answer: I bought the 07 GS Hatchback and I am very pleased with it! It only has 2900 miles on it so far (all mine) and I have been averaging approximately 39.5 MPG. I live at high altitude, start slowly, and drive below the speed limit. Personally, it's worth it to me. Others may want to drive faster and while others may want to drive like they want to win the Indy 500. Their fuel economy will reflect that. My only gripe is that the doors are very big and cumbersome and that the seat belt is hard to reach. Otherwise, as a commuter car it is perfect! I checked out the Toyota Corolla but I didn't feel that the difference was worth an extra $2200 although it probably would have gotten better fuel economy (probably 40+ in my case).

The Yaris was too goofy for me and it felt less powerful than the Hyundai, even with my wimpy driving. Having the speedometer in the center of the console was a bit weird for me too.

The Hyundai also looks a bit more European in styling and I can appreciate that. There are way too many air bags in that car too.

Having a hatchback is useful. I can fold down the rear seats and the car will swallow an occasional 8 ft plank of wood.

My hope is that this car will last me 10-15 years, or until it makes economic sense to change. At the moment, with gas prices the way they are and seeing that there is no new technology which will overwhelm, undercut, and over take gasoline engines, the Accent is a good deal.

Question: 2008 Hyundai Accent Sport?
Im pretty close to making a decision to buy the 2008 Hyundai Accent Sport. Anyone out there already own one? What's your thoughts?

Answer: Caution is needed. I definitely would not recommend this vehicle. The reliability ratings are not that great (average to below average). Resale value (which tells you a lot about a car and how well it is expected to hold up) is among the WORST in its class. Plus, this car only earned 3 star crash test ratings which is just "acceptable" for front crash, "poor" for side crash and "poor" for rear, compared to other makes such as the Chevy Cobalt, Chevy HHR, Toyota Yaris etc etc etc. Just avoid this car if safety, reliability, performance, quality, resale value and efficiency is important to you. Good Luck
