    2021 Hyundai Accent SE

    Great car for the price. The warranty sold me and free oil changes for 3/36k miles. I LOVE IT! Kinda small, but doable in every way. I am a single mom with 2 children and we fit perfectly. Did I mention how awesome the warranty is. :)

    The best car I've purchased

    The Hyundai Accent was by far the best value for my money. It met all of my needs. The backseat has a decent room and seats were comfortable, plus the technology included inside the car. Can't wait to drive it out with my friends.

    I never thought I’d go with white

    The only thing I would change is the sun visors. It may seem small but so are they. I’m a tall female and still there is a huge gap between the visor and my eyes. Other then that the gas mileage is amazing and very comfy for a compact car.
