When I purchased my car, I was looking for something small and fuel efficient. It gets great gas millage and has taken me on many adventures. Maintenance is easy if you're keeping up with it routinely. The only downside is people see it as a small car and cut me off in traffic. It's a tiny lime green vehicle, so they don't think twice before swinging their car in front of mine. Still, you can't beat the ride or reliability. It comes in many charming colors, and my version has Bluetooth and run flat tires. The run flat tires were the best thing that ever happened to me. I get out of work in the dark, and the rain one night to a flat tire. I was able to safely drive home and deal with that mess in the morning. The downside? The tires are on the expensive side, and once they go, there's no repairing them. So the convenience is a trade off for some financial suffering. You have to weigh out the pros and cons on your purchase, but I would do it again in a heart beat.

I bought the Hyundai Accent in a lime green color. It's got enough room to haul stuff around and enough space to get four adults in fairly comfortably. I have run-flat tires, which have come remarkably convenient for me. I enjoy the size of the vehicle and believe it handles well. As a city dweller it's very valuable to be able to park in small, tight places. It doesn't handle great in the snow, but again as a city dweller, we have really great maintenance on the roads. I have to avoid driving in heavy snow, but that's a few hours a day a few days per year. I don't want to pay for a gas-guzzling SUV for what amounts to a little minor inconvenience. The three free months of Sirius Radio that came with the car were fun, but they were not something I opted to continue with. I use the Bluetooth to play audiobooks on my phone for my commute. The system is great, and the sound quality is excellent. It is a fuel-efficient car that is a lot of fun to drive. I would purchase another car from this brand, and I would definitely purchase a car of a similar build if not the same model, but I'm not anticipating a new purchase for another ten years. It handles well.
