For most of its life, the Accent has been a decent, but uninspired small car with a choppy and noisy ride.
On the positive side, the interior is put together well and the car is easy to park.
Handling is also secure, if not exactly agile.
On the other hand, the Accent is not very quick, braking is subpar, the passenger compartment is noisy and the accommodations are cramped, Antilock brakes (ABS) were offered as an option starting with the 2005 model year, but it was tough to find a car equipped with them.
