Thanks to stunning cars like the Genesis, Equus or the 2011 Sonata,  Hyundai is no more a cheap car maker with economic mostly rubbish products. But they still have a commitment to the economy market with entry level models such as this new Accent model. Normally, no one would care about such a miserable looking thing! but when you realize that you can buy this new 2010 car for only $9,970, then it makes a bit of sense!

And for that money you still get a decent amount of gadgets. For the three-door Blue version which is the cheapest of the lot, you get standard equipments like: a five-speed manual transmission with EcoShift indicator, sport-tuned power assisted rack-and-pinion steering, dual front, side and head curtain airbags, variable intermittent windshield wipers, six-way adjustable driver seat with armrest, 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback, rear spoiler and rear window defroster, adjustable head restraints for all seating positions, cabin air filtration, tachometer, digital clock, two 12-volt outlets and remote hood release.
