1995 Hyundai Accent Test Drive
With a significantly revamped Sonata introduced in 1994, Hyundai began reconquering a market where it was strong for a few brief years. In 1995 the focus was the lower end of the product line and the uninspiring Excel was replaced with another inexpensive car, the Accent, available at a price so low that rivals were few and far between. This front-wheel drive mini sedan was in the same class as the Ford Aspire, the GEO Metro, Toyota Tercel, and the Dodge Colt. Marketed as two or four door models and in two versions the L, or the GL, this small-size model had a lot in its favor to win the hearts of those out to buy their first car. Its strengths included a high safety level, with dual airbags available as an option for less than $1K, anti lock brakes at around the same price, and doors with side impact panels that already meet the 1997 standards. The quality of the construction and its resale value didn’t put it on par with the Toyota Tercel, but this mini Hyundai was still attractive given its price.
