2007 Hyundai Accent

Sporty new coupes join subcompact line of sedans..

Hyundai vehicles have been dramatically improved over the past few years. The Hyundai Accent sedan was redesigned for 2006, and this past spring an attractive coupe joined the lineup, adding style, sophistication, and content than ever before.

While the sedan brings some suave to the entry-level family segment, the coupe is clearly seeking street cred, offering hip accessories ranging from a strut-tower brace to faux carbon-fiber trim. Think of it as inexpensive canvas for the Fast & Furious.

This latest generation of Accents is built on a more substantial platform. They are slightly larger and are notably better cars than the previous generation. Hyundai is clearly moving up-market, and the Accent is a viable alternative to the recently introduced Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, and Nissan Versa subcompacts.

Power comes from a clean and sophisticated 1.6-liter double overhead-cam engine, featuring variable valve timing and delivering more power than the Chevrolet Aveo or Scion xA. The environmentally friendly Accent is an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle, or ULEV, and rates 37 mpg on the EPA Highway scale.

    Car Buying Tips

    What you should know before buying a used car

    - Get a CarFax report for used cars you are interested in buying. Checking these reports will reduce the risk of buying a lemon or being the victim of fraud.
    - Only accept cash or certified checks when selling your car. Taking personal checks for the sale of a car is a bad idea that can lead to unnecessary problems.
    - Establish the price of your used car. Use guides such as KBB.com or NADA to set a reasonable used car price.
    - Have the used car inspected by your mechanic. If you're interested in buying a car, it's a good idea to have a mechanic you trust check the car to make sure it is in the condition advertised.
    - Shop around. The used car market is enormous, with a plethora of used car dealers, certified pre-owned inventory, for-sale-by-owner listings, and more. Compare a number of vehicles to make sure you're buying the right car and getting the best deal.
