 I owned a 2007 Hyundai Accent when I was single, and loved it. My wife needed a fuel efficient car for long drives to work every day. Given price, features, comfort, and looks, as well as a smidge of brand loyalty, we had narrowed it down to Ford Fiesta and Hyundai Accent.  My wife saw the Accent GLS with the premium package at our local dealership, and fell in love with it.  We bought it Nov. 4th, 2014. Since that date (5 months) we've put 10,000 miles on it. Seriously.  No problems with it, tires still look new and even; so factory alignment is still sound.  Now with temps warming up, it's surpassing its fuel economy ratings. We usually average 33-35mpg, but now we're seeing 40+.
