 I had this car for about 4 months before it was totaled in an accident (thankfully not my fault).  I drove it mainly on my commute to college, and had no problems while I drove it.  I got about 30 mpg average.  I'm about 6'2", so leg room is a big deal for me, but I never felt cramped in my Accent.  In my accident I a man ran a red light in front of me, tearing up the whole front of the car.  But I was completely unharmed even though the car was totaled. Overall I really liked my Accent and would recommend it to anyone, if not for the gas mileage, then for the safety.
