Excellent fuel economy, good looks, great warranty, all at a reasonable price - what more could you ask for?
Needed to purchase a new car. Wanted to find a sharp looking car with for good fuel economy - and being retired on fixed income - all at a reasonable price. Did some research and narrowed down to the Accent based on OTD price. Did a test drive, and was impressed with the overall styling, comfort of interior, ease of reaching and using controls. Build quality is excellent - I found no flaws.
I would advise buyers (as I did) to opt for the SEL model, which adds the telescoping steering, larger display, rear disc brakes, alloy wheels, the CVT transmission, etc.
To the reviews that say the engine performance is lackluster, I disagree. It is not a race car, but does accelerate quite adequately. And, the smaller engine coupled with the CVT, my MPG has hit a high of 48, and my average is around 40!
Handling is very good as the car has a stiffer suspension. The drawback of the suspension is the ride can be fairly rough on a less than perfect road.
Overall, very satisfied with the vehicle.
