TO THE POINT
What’s New? The Hyundai Accent has been completely redesigned for 2006 with a new look, larger dimensions, and a stronger powertrain.
Selling Points: Standard features like front and rear fold-down armrests, a 172-watt sound system, abundant standard safety features, up to 35 mpg, a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty, and a starting price of only $11,995
Deal Breakers: Snoozy styling and a disconnected driving character
Our Advice: The 2006 Hyundai Accent is a good car for shoppers looking for an inexpensive compact, but Kia builds the same car with a sportier demeanor in the Kia Rio. Make sure to test drive both to determine which best meets your wants and needs.
