Reviews SummaryWith a starting price below $15,000, the all-new 2018 Hyundai Accent is one of the most affordable cars on the market. But despite its low cost, Hyundai loaded the Accent with stylish design, desirable options, and a 10-year powertrain warranty. Yes, similarly priced used cars can also be a great value, and buyers shouldn’t overlook the class-leading Honda Fit. But if you don't want to spend a lot to buy a brand-new car with a traditional three-box sedan design, the Accent is your best bet. | |
Reviews SummaryAfter 50 years and nearly 50 million units sold, the Corolla is the best-selling car nameplate in the world. To mark a half-century of sales, Toyota reworked the Corolla’s front end and added standard Safety Sense P for auto high beams, lane-departure warning with intervention, and forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection and auto braking. But even with a newly standard reversing camera, upgraded upholstery, and a special 50th-Anniversary trim, the Corolla still has trouble in this very competitive segment. | |
