Lowest Cost Sedan

I just bought this car two weeks back. I was looking for Hyundai i20 before deciding on accent. The reason for selecting accent is of course, you are getting a better engine than i20 for the same price. While i20 has got 1200 cc engine and is little sluggish (I found all hatchback little sluggish on power, the worst being Punto), accent is powerful compared to i20 or all other hatchbacks. But at the same time, it will be foolish to compare accent to any hatchback except the price range.

As far as driving quality, the engine is powerful (better than linea, which has got less power at a higher price) and stable. The response of the engine is also good. I really like its gear, which is very smooth. I believe its a common feature in all Hyudai car. It has got lots of space inside the car and the foot rest next to the clause is a good feature to give rest to one of your feet while driving. The steering wheel is also quite smooth and very responsive. As far as negative aspect goes, I believe the dashboard should be little more stylish. But at the price, it seems to be a good buy.

The seating is comfortable and can accomodate 5 peoplr easily. The front and back space is quite enough for a comfy seating. The cup holder should have been little big to accomodate at least mineral bottle or cold drinks bottle. The AC is quite powerful and even at the minimum speed it becomes really cold inside the car (may be bcoz of rainy season). The car remote should have a buzzer while closing the window and it helps in locating your car while parking in a crowded parking lot.

Overall, I will rate it good because of its driving quality but the mileage (6.5 on an average in the city with full AC) could have been better.
