I need to get a new car, as the car I am currently driving is dying a slow and sad death. We are looking at several models. What is important is good gas milage and safety. It would function as a family car, but we are fine with a small family car. I went to the Hyundai dealer, and became interested in the Accent SE. Anyone able to tell me about them? Are they safe, get good gas milage, and last for years? The other car we are considering is the Honda Fit. Thanks for any info!!

We have an 05 Accent and a 07 Ford Focus.. Both are good little cars. The Accent is smaller and better around town car, the Focus is better at highway speeds.. The Focus is getting 23 mpg in town and 30+ on the highway... If you plan to be driving a lot of high speed highway driving I would recommend moving up a step to the Elantra if you want the Hyundai..I think Hyundai quality is very good for the price.. See who will give you the best price.. Hyundai, Ford & their sister co, Mazda are good cars. Also the all new 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer... all good cars.. Of course the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic are the best but you will pay them for the privilage.

Yes, the Accent gets great gas mileage since it is a compact/subcompact size car, not sure its a good family car unless your family is short and in shape. Along the same lines, its as safe as a small car can be and simply put smaller is never as safe as bigger. Sounds like money is the issue, so I suggest you buy a 1-2 year old Elantra or Sonata and you will be much happier and safer for it. Hyundai's are among the best built and most reliable cars in the world, see the latest reports from JD Power and Consumer reports as they rank in the top 10% of both lists.

I just bought a 2007 accent se about a week ago and I can tell you this: standard anti-lock brakes, side, front and curtain airbags, great handling and phenomenal gas mileage. I got 31 mpg from a brand new engine, very solid and stable car.

basically push a key sized screwdriver into the door lock (do it to the passenger area lock which you employ much less besides) and turn it gently. attempt to no longer stress it too stressful, ought to open fairly basic if u mess with it. Pull the black rubber trim up off the door ledge, slip a metallic hook/coathanger and so forth down there and fish around for the lock lever, and pull it to the realm to launch the locking. Or bend the right nook of the 'door physique' (the place the glass is) outwards with a bar, so as which you have a niche, placed a block of wood into the hollow to hold it open and fish the keys out. None of those would paintings ok, yet locks are much less complicated to change than glass i'd say. The tennis ball factor is for air pump locks basically, and works in concept, yet fairly won't paintings, in case you hear your locks 'lock', then they're individual electric vehicles. additionally i does no longer recommend breaking a headlight.
