Three times is indeed the charm for the Hyundai Accent. The 4-door (a three-door joins the Accent line-up as a 2007 model year vehicle) makes its third-generation debut in the 2006 model year as a super-sized sedan. Accent is 1.8 inches longer, one inch wider, and three inches taller than the 2005 sedan. The wheelbase stretches 2.3 inches to reach 98.4 inches, and the track widens by 1.4 inches, going to 57.9 inches in the front and 57.5 inches in the rear. Of course, the girth gain makes for a roomier cabin as interior volume reaches 104.6 inches (up from 100.9 inches) and cargo space jumps from 11.6 to 12.4 cubic feet. All those higher numbers give the front wheel drive Accent an edge over its segment competitors. There are a couple of numbers (like the standard 14-inch tires/wheels and optional 15-inch tires/wheels) that maybe should change on the next-generation product as this vehicle’s ride is just a bit tattered during speeds above 65 mph. If high-speed excursions are not the mandate for buying a car, then the Accent does diligence in all other criteria zones. Although the 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder engine picks up some additional horsepower versus the 2005 car, once again, this sedan is not intended as a speedster. Horsepower is now 110 at 6000 rpm and peak torque is 106 pounds-feet at 45000 rpm. Accent is fitted with a standard 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. Four-door Accent is sold only in the GLS version, which includes a number of standard items, like six airbags, tachometer and digital clock, front and rear cupholders, anti-lock brakes, power rack and pinion steering, and rear glass defroster. A $1,500 premium sport package adds features such as air conditioning, power windows/door locks/heated mirrors, 15-inch alloy wheels, and remote keyless entry with alarm. Per gallon fuel tallies are 32 city/35 highway for the 5-speed manual transmission vehicle, which has a MSRP of $12,455.
