I'd put Accent at the top of the list
king_james, State University, AR, 04/30/2012
2012 Hyundai Accent GLS 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 6M)
I am not sure why Accent was ranked lower than mazda, kia or ford... I'd like to put Accent at number 2 with Elantra being number 1 on the list (only because Elantra is a larger and more stylish model than Accent)... The Accent is a greater car than the mazda 2, ford fiesta, kia soul/forte or toyota yaris... Considering the performance and reliability (I got a 10-year/100,000 miles … bumper to bumper on mine for a fraction of cost compared to other cars' base prices) it is the best option for quality/gas mileage/options... Just because ford provides two extra buttons on the steering wheel does not make it a better car... I'd buy a Hyundai over any brand on that list any given day...
Low-end luxury

2012 Hyundai Accent GLS 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 6M)
The car looks very nice inside and out, has excellent head and leg room, and excellent driver visibility on all sides. The rear view mirror has a bit of a letterbox view, which feels a bit constricted but offers all the visibility you need.
I've been getting fuel efficiency in the high 30s on my commute. The 6-speed manual transmission has adequate pick-up when you need it and the road … noise is minimal. The clutch is a bit soft. The dashboard instruments and controls are clean and clear.
The trunk is quite spacious, and the back seat can fold down to provide additional room if needed. All in all, the car seems much roomier and better appointed than I would expect in a subcompact.
Not flashy, but real value
gmsparzo, Enfield, CT, 10/28/2011
2012 Hyundai Accent GLS 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 6M)
I had an 09 Sonata that was totally with no injuries.
So impressed with safety after the crash as well as quality and MPG, I bought another Hyundai.
Originally I thought it was too small, but it has grown on me. Fun to drive. AMAZING gas mileage.
The 6 speed is fun.
Bought for warranty

2012 Hyundai Accent GLS 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 6M)
I bought this car for the warranty.
I had good luck with my last Accent (2003) and hope to have as good luck with this one.
However, I much prefer my 2003 Accent over the 2012 one.
