Since its conception, the Accent was designed to look and feel much more spacious on the inside than it looks on the outside. This space is much larger than the average subcompact, and in fact, the EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) classified it as a compact sedan. It has the best space in its class, and the five-door version has the largest cargo volume over its compact five-door competitors.

The Accent has a safety system you can trust completely. Six airbags (two in the front, two seat-mounted on the side, and two side-curtain airbags for the front and rear passengers) and a stability control system that reacts in the blink of an eye protect occupants in case of a collision. These are only two of the standard safety features that will give you greater peace of mind.

I love how Hyundai's quality and design of its vehicles have evolved in recent years, especially the Elantra, which I prefer over the Accent.There's no such thing as cheap and cheerful. It's cheap and nasty or expensive and cheerful. NYC Style!

I think it is even better than the Honda Civic, and much cheaper indeed! Peace, Love, United, Respect... that's my religion ;-J
