#6 of 7 same scenario by litesong1 Dec 19, 2007 (8:57 am)
Hi pj2288...Did the same as you. Testing several cars, I quickly got a v. good Accent deal & bought it for my wife with her happy approval. But I should have driven a Fit & even a twin clutch Volkswagen even tho they would have cost $3000+(?) more than the Accent. My wife's Accent better come close to the theoretical Fit emissions & MPG. One thing I note. Tho the Fit,Yaris & Accent are v. close to the same exterior width, the Accent has much better interior front & back shoulder width(by 1 to almost 3 inches!) than Yaris or Fit! I immediately noticed on my Accent test drive, that Accent has only 1 inch less interior shoulder width than my Dodge Caliber, a much bigger car. I like very small cars generally, but also like the extra Accent width v. much. My wife will like it too, since she is an artist & always packing art supplies around.

Replying to: litesong1 (Dec 19, 2007 8:57 am) Follow-up on my wife's manual 2008 Accent. She averaged 33 MPG thru a long winter & tough commute. I drove it on trips over mountain passes as high as 5500 feet & got 41.5, 42.6, & 45.2 MPG. Accent performs 100% without one squeak, creak, or rattle! Accent is every bit worth its money at 9000miles.
