When Nissan announced that their new base-model Versa would be the cheapest car in America, Hyundai responded with a new Accent GS Base priced $20 lower. The $10,665 Accent GS Base is exactly the same as the $11,765 Accent GS, but if you want any options, you have to buy the more expensive one. Which is the exact same car as the cheap one. Essentially, you're paying $1,100 for the privilege of paying $1,000 for an automatic transmission or $1,600 for A/C and a stereo. Antilock brakes aren't available on either GS, and the Accent's crash test scores aren't very good. The Accent is likable and good fun to drive, but I'd still opt for the Toyota Yaris (A/C and ABS standard) or a Versa instead.
