Hyundai Accent Racing

Hyundai fancy the latest Accent as a hot contender for the Focus and Astra buyer. Coupled to a great warranty and breakdown cover, the Accent is not easy to ignore, and in many respects it offers a desirable range of virtues. Both 1.3 and 1.5 engines are easy going without being sporty, and the rest of the driving experience backs that up.

 

The Accent is easy to drive, with very light power steering and clutch. The interiors are plain and functional, with firm but comfortable front seats, with good space and comfort in the rear. The suspension gives a comfortable ride and noise is kept under control.

 

The revised Accent has more equipment than previously and a better choice of engines. If you need a roomy car for little money, then the 1.3 versions are excellent no-frills value; there's also a good 1.5-litre diesel option or a new 1.6 petrol engine. The Accent will never be a car to set the pulse racing, but it does offer unquestionably good value for your money.
