 My wife and I purchased a 2003 Hyundai Accent base 2 dr.  This car is a stripper.  It was exactly what we wanted. 2 dr 5 speed.  It has a radio and AC.  Thats it.  This car gets excellent fuel economy.  We drive in rual Iowa.  This car does well in the snow.  We average over 20k miles a year because of our 50+ mile commute.  The thing that this car lacks is power at low rpms. Rev it up and it has lots of pep.  Hyundai makes use of all the available space and can seat 4 adults in reasonable comfort. The 5 speed makes this car a fun drive. This is my first foreign car and I am impressed with the build quality and the ease of maintaining it. My other car is a full size 89 Dodge RamCharger 4x4.
