Hyundai Accent
An affordable car for a modest lifestyle
Popular among younger drivers, the Accent GT Hatchback is a sporty option that won't break the bank. With rear spoiler, body moldings, sporty cloth interior and optional 6-speaker stereo system, the Accent looks quite stylish. The two-door hatchback is best suited to individuals in their 20s who don't have children, while the four-door sedan is fitting for small families.
The Hyundai Accent is perfect for the average city driver - someone who doesn't do a lot of highway driving. It's a reliable, affordable option for those on a tight budget. Because of its small engine, the Accent offers great mileage during stop-and-go traffic, saving you money on gas with fewer visits to the pumps. It also offers a surprisingly smooth ride and handling for zippy performance, which makes the car fun to drive.
