By definition, being a subcompact means a smaller interior. To be fair, although the Accent is technically a subcompact, the government compares the Accent to compact cars. In fact, the Accent has more interior room than the large Civics or Corollas. see full Hyundai Accent review |

Tall large people can sit in the second row with more comfort as they can in the front seats of our Honda Civic or Sebring convertible. Third row is not bad for short trips for adults and children would be good for longer trips. see full Kia Rondo review |
