2020 Hyundai Venue SE 6-spd manual
The Venue is an Accent with headroom. Lots of standard features and the 6-spd manual is flawless and returns 50+ mpg in rural driving. Fun to drive. Great economy car. Comes with a 8" touchscreen, backup camera, lane departure warning and assist, anti-lock brakes, traction control, air conditioning, power windows and mirrors and hill-start assist (engages parking brake when depressing clutch pedal on an incline to prevent car from rolling backwards). The Venue is comfortable and it is at home on 45 mph roads, yielding crazy gas mileage and fun driving. On highways, it is squirrely over 65 mph and will rev over 3,000 rpms, so it belongs in the right lane. If you want power and prestige, this is not your car. If you want economy, practicality, great gas mileage and low car payments, test drive the Venue. It accelerates reasonable well, handles just fine, brakes competently and the manual transmission is very easy to drive and particularly well-matched to the 1.6L engine. Hyundai discontinued the manual transmission after the inaugural 2020 rollout and I haven't driven the automatic, so I can't comment on it.. A little known feature is that the 1.6L engine is both direct injection and port injection, with the later spraying gasoline over the intake valves to eliminate carbon buildup common on direct injection only engines. Plus, Hyundai is a steel company and brings fine quality to the steel bonding process found on the car.
