USED 2017 Hyundai Accent Value Edition Sedan

SCORE CARD: Driving 4.0 Not the quickest, most nimble or shortest-stopping in the segment, but the Accent SE is near the top in most performance measures. The Accent's drivability is one of the best in class, thanks to predictable gas pedal response and a well-tuned six-speed automatic transmission. Acceleration 4.5 The 138-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine is one of our favorites, providing good initial response leaving a stop followed by steady acceleration. A quick 9.3-second sprint to 60 mph is one of the best in the segment. Braking 3.0 The brake pedal feels responsive and confident. In simulated-panic stops from 60 mph, we recorded a 124-foot distance, which is average for the class. Steering 3.0 The steering is precise enough but can feel too light and vague at times. Straight-line stability isn't a benchmark for subcompacts, though it's still better than in some rivals. Handling 4.5 Handling feels sporty for the most part, but some bumps can overwhelm the very basic rear suspension setup. Drivability 5.0 The Accent SE's overall drivability is excellent with above-average engine response, a well-calibrated six-speed automatic transmission that's not overly busy, confident brakes and direct steering. It feels less toylike than many. Comfort 4.5 Though its seats are only average, the Accent's smooth ride and impressively hushed cabin make it one of the most comfortable cars in the subcompact class. Seat comfort 3.5 The six-way-adjustable driver seat accommodates a wide range of sizes, and the front passenger seat adjusts in four directions. The seats have ample cushioning for the long haul and decent side bolstering. Three-across seating isn't realistic in back. Ride comfort 4.0 It lacks the buttoned-down feeling of the best subcompacts, but overall the level of ride comfort is better than most. Grooved or uneven highways cause a bit of wander, but it's not busy or fidgety. Noise & vibration 5.0 Whether accelerating hard onto a highway or just cruising along, the Accent is one of the quietest cars in its class. Engine noise is well isolated, and road and wind noise barely register. Quietness is one of the Accent's best qualities. Interior 4.0 Keeping in mind that the Accent is a small, economy-minded car, its interior offers up excellent ergonomics and luggage space and reasonably easy access. But space and outward visibility are just merely adequate. Utility The rear seats don't fold completely flat, hampering some utility. The tall, wide doors and high roofline make rear-seat cargo loading easy. Small-item storage Outstanding small item storage with numerous storage spaces, deep cupholders and sizable door pockets. Cargo space 4.5 There's an excellent 21 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seat, but rear seats don't fold fully flat, resulting in just 47.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo space. Technology Unfortunate dearth of tech options. Bluetooth isn't available on SE trims (not even as an option) and there's no smartphone app integration. The only concession is a USB port for charging or an audio signal. Audio & navigation The basic audio system consists of six speakers, a CD player, satellite radio and a USB jack for playing music from a smartphone/device or thumb drive. No navigation offered at any trim level. #carshow #cars #carsofinstagram #drive_#driver #auto #carshows #carlifestyle #audi #tires #bmw #mercedes #sportscars #ferrari #lamborghini #customcars #classiccars #chevy #classic #carsdaily #honda #car #autos #camaro #porsche911 #wheels #porsche #vehicles #vehicle #nissan # altima #toyota #Ford # Mustang #Chevrolet # BMW #Accord
