Offered in three distinct trims—from the price leader SE to the loaded Limited—the Accent provides something for everyone’s budget. Its 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine is as efficient as the car’s base price would suggest. We’ve found the lightweight Accent fun to drive and easy to pitch into corners with enough speed to make the tires squeal. In this case, the old saying is true: It’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow. If you just need a no-frills commuter mobile, the Accent’s cabin is spacious and utilitarian; higher-spec SEL and Limited models come with more gear than the base car, but all three come with touchscreen infotainment.
