Why didnt you mention the Mitsubishi Mirage - Mirage G4 it beats them all in leg room (G4. The Mirage G4 even beats the Versa by like 0. 2 inches (Mitsubishi & Nissan Website Specs. The Mirage G4 may not be the car for everyone but I love mine and you can get one thousands cheaper than this and the same warranty. The top trim G4 SE I purchased new had an MSRP of 18, 115. 00 and with rebates and discounts I paid 12, 714. 00 and you get automatic climate control, auto dimming rear view mirror, home link, heated seats, push start, keyless entry and keyless access or driver door and trunk, pw, pl, pm, apple car play android auto, outside temp display, rear seat fold down arm rest with cup holders, mine has front seat arm rest and console (fold down arm rest standard on all 2018 upper trims, alloy wheels, fog lights, and much more. Sure its a 3 cylinder and is not powerful but its a comfortable feature packed roomy subcompact. I have owned 2 Mirages now (2015 Mirage ES, 2017 Mirage G4 SE) and they have both been trouble free and get amazing gas milage. The base model Mirage G4 goes for 10, 500. 00 - 11, 500. 00 at Renn Kirby Mitsubishi and base model Mirage hatchbacks can be had for under 10, 000. 00 The Mirages have proven to be very reliable by owners since they came out in 2013 as a 2014 model. I love this new accent its a sharp vehicle and I like interior and exterior styling. We always purchased new Kias and Hyundais every few years (2002 Kia Rio, 2003 Hyundai Accent GT, 2008 Hyundai Sonata GLS, 2010 Kia Soul Exclaim, 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS) until we switched to Mitsubishi in 2015 and we now have our 2017 Mirage G4 SE and 2016 Outlander Sport GT AWC. Good job Hyundai this is a sharp lil car

Great review Alex We bought an 18 FIT EX-L for our daughter in college. We like it since it has collision avoidance with automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, leather seats, Android Auto/Apple car play, side mirror turn signals, & huge space in the rear for passengers and those magic seats that flip up. It averages 33 mpg combined since it only weighs 2650 lbs. Down sides are engine noise, and headlight brightness. This new Accent is very comparable at a lower price compared to the FIT, and we are looking at this for our other daughter about to enter college. Nice to see so many premium features are included in economy cars nowadays.

Great review as always Alex Your videos are always a joy to watch even though Im not in the market to buy a new car. This looks pretty nice for a entry level model, projector headlights, LED DRLs and taillights, push start, driver assistance features, even AndroidAuto and Apple CarPlayay Toyota and Lexus models are now just getting CarPlay, not even AndroidAutoIts nice to see these features coming down lower end models. A couple years ago models in this bracket were really bare bones.

I have an Accent 2007 with 230, 000 miles. I just did a trip of a thousand miles in one stretch. The car drives the same way it did the day I bought it but with that kind of milage in it already, it may be time for a new car. I am considering sticking with the Hyundai Accent but I dont like the front grill in the new models. It looks like a gaping mouth and it will collect all kind of dirt and dead insects after a long trip - too messy. I wish they had better taste in design.

I dont fully understand the appeal of a subcompact sedan. Why give up the cargo space and rear headroom in an already small vehicle? The hatchback variants are superior in terms of overall packaging, and I think they tend to look better. I wish the US market got the hatch. For what it is, the sedan looks very nice. Cant be said for the Versa, Fiesta and some other subcompact sedans in my opinion. I think Id get a Rio hatch or Fit.

Hyundai and Kia struggling with fuel economy is a nice way to say that they got caught cheating on EPA tests, but still consistently fail to meet EPA estimates in real-world fuel economy. Im surprised Ford and Hyundais fuel efficiency scandals are so quickly forgotten, but Volkswagens isnt even though most Americans dont drive diesel.

I think the new Accent is one of the best proportioned, best looking cars on the road regardless of price. I think Hyundai deserves a Nobel Prize for tremendous design quality on a low budget car. Contrast this vehicle to the visual garbage Toyota is putting out these days.

I can attest first hand that the Versa is absolute garbage. Poor build quality. The transmission wont make it 100k miles. The driver ergonomics are really lousy. Dont be lured in by the low price. Spend a little more money to buy a superior subcompact such as the Accent.

Bought a Accent SE manual a month ago. Very happy with it. Car much better then the 1999 Accent I bought new. Averaging 41 MPG at an average speed of 35MPH so not highway driving. Got 4000 miles on it already. Hope I can get over 200000 miles on it like my 2008 Sonata.

My 2018 Accent says it was built by KIA for Hyundai on the build plate by the drivers side door. This means the Rio and Accent are built at the same KIA plant in Mexico. Interesting. Anyway I love my Accent even though it was made by KIA, after all Hyundai owns KIA.
