 I purchased my Accent primarily for daily commute duties.  I have put about 1000 miles on car so far and it has been a pleasure to drive.  The soft suspension provides a comfortable ride.  Wind, suspension and engine noise are well controlled.  The 1.6L engine and automatic transmission provide adequate power for my needs.  The interior is roomy for the car size and looks nice for an economy car.  Gas mileage is ~26 mpg with only in town driving and 40+ mpg with pure freeway driving.
