2011 Hyundai Accent Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||

2010 | 2dr Hatch 110-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
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 |
