According to JDpowers.com (best international source of car ratings) this car is best in its class.
I have had VW passat with turbo engine from 2000 to 2002, then I had Nissan Altima (similar to Teana) from 2003 to 2004, after that I had Mazda 3 from 2004 to 2006 , then i bought Acura TL from 2006 to 2007. Now I am having Sonata from 2007.
I never thought that I would even look at Hyundai until I started paying attention on their performance/reliability rating. I was surprised to learn that Accent is best car in its class (better than honda/toyota in this size segment). Its engine is rated best in world for its relaibilty...surprise for me.
Hyundai is becoming a sensation in USA slowly. It is competing with GOLD STANDARD comapnies like Honda and Toyota. I generaly change cars frequently (I always look at rating in relaibilty). Next car is going to be Hyundai Genesis, I drove it last week....feels like driving Lexus or 7 series BMW. I liked its Lexicon Audio system (bye the way Lexicon comes in Bentley like cars)
If you are looking for a small size car then go for Accent...you'll not be dissapointed in long run.
good value for moneyi think none, for the money you spend
