FAQ:
- Q: Why is a Hyundai Accent a preferred car in a recession?
- A: High mileage combined with an affordable price tag has been a blessing for consumers, and tiny fuel sipping cars like the Accent have helped boost auto sales and contribute to an auto market recovery (http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/1160/15-cars-fueling-the-auto-recovery/).
- Q: Are Hyundais Reliable?
- A: Hyundai's are often unfairly marked as poor quality because of their affordability, but recent reports regarding the Accent have been much more favorable, such as the most recent Consumer Reports review (http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/ConsumerReportsSnapshot.aspx?year=2009&make=Hyundai&model=Accent).
- Q: Is the Accent Safe?
- A: A common concern among subcompact cars is that they aren't as safe as larger vehicles, and to some extent that's true. A smaller car by definition can't put as much steel between you and an accident, but that doesn't mean that the Hyundai Accent isn't safe. Even the base model comes with standard dual front airbags, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags, which helps to offset it's smaller stature.
