The four-door 2005 Hyundai Accent GLS gets optional ABS brakes this year, but otherwise is little changed.  The front-wheel drive sedan is powered by a 1.6-liter, 104-hp I4 and 5-speed manual transmission.  A 4-speed auto tran is optional.  As an entry-level compact, the 2005 Accent GLS is pretty bare-bones, to keep the price down, but it does come standard with dual front-side airbags.

The trunk holds 11 cubic feet, but rear seats fold down for extra space, and the front seat has a fold-down center armrest/storage console.  Standard equipment includes intermittent wipers, a tape player, tachometer, and power steering.  The new ABS option comes in a bundled package with power windows, locks, and mirrors, and air conditioning.  A CD player is also available.  Drivers like their 2005 Accent GLS for its reliability, price, and fuel economy (since there's not much to it but that).  Downsides include the low ground clearance, which makes for bumpy rides, and exterior noise.
