Great Value with generous features
This is a comparatively inexpensive vehicle for the amount of features it includes, and it's cute with a comfy, attractive interior in the front cabin, and vibrant paint (Pomegranate paint) on the body.
I also appreciate the added safety features of the backup camera with its position/proximity grid, and the brake assist, which are noticeably handy/helpful, at all times.
The trunk is roomy and the split rear seats allow you to drop one seat but keep the other up for a rear passenger, when you have something extra long in the trunk that you need to push through.
The usb and blue tooth setup with steering wheel controls is also easy to use and convenient.
Drawbacks are that the car is set so low, it gets more road noise than average (unless that noise is from the tires?), and attracts higher-than-average headlight glare, since almost all the other cars are taller.
The outer appearance is cute, but hard to distinguish/remember, for some reason. It's been 2 years and I still mix it up with other small sedans of similar color, like Toyotas and such, and I can't picture its appearance when I'm away from it.
The lack of a CD player to go with the bluetooth, also took some getting used to, and I miss my CDs
I'd also say that although the truk is nice and roomy, that this appears to have been achieved by making the rear cabin pretty shallow, so the leg room in back is a bit shorter than the norm for a compact sedan.
Overall though, for the price, the Accent turned out to be a great value and it's fun to drive.
