Before the 2012 redesign, the Accent was considered the low-priced alternative to other cars providing more bang-for-your-buck like the Ford Fiesta and Honda Fit. Yet the newest generation of Accents has upped the ante when it comes to value and made the Hyundai a legitimate competitor in the compact segment. Advantages found in the Fit and Fiesta includes sportier handling and a higher quality of interior materials. The Chevrolet Sonic, like the Accent, is available in sedan and hatchback body-style. Unlike the Accent, the Sonic’s base trim is not equipped with a USB port or satellite radio.
For those interested in a new compact car, whatever the price range, this Hyundai is a great option. With outstanding value and loads of standard features, the Accent is definitely worth consideration.
