If you are a college student, it is absolutely wonderful to have generous parents.
Or grandparents.
Family generosity is always appreciated.
Especially if you need a car to fully enjoy the high school or college experience.
One of the reasonably priced cars that is gaining a lot of attention is the Hyundai Accent.
Given its attributes, accent and all, we love what the Accent is saying and what others are saying about it.
Some history first.
The Hyundai Accent or Hyundai Verna is a subcompact car produced by Hyundai.
In Australia, the first generation models carried over the Hyundai Excel name used by the Accent’s predecessor.
The Accent was replaced in 2000 by the Hyundai Verna in South Korea, although most international markets, including the US, retained the “Accent” name. The “Accent” name is an abbreviation of Advanced Compact Car of Epoch-making New Technology.
Glad we don’t have to say that five times.
Visiting the parent’s home at hyundaiusa.com, they welcome, “You’re in luck. Every new 2022 Hyundai gets Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever comes first).”
Given the costs of maintaining cars, that sounds like a great deal.
In 2008, Hyundai Accent was named the most dependable subcompact car by J.D. Power and Associates.
As far as the 2022 Accent goes, reviewers are ecstatic.
The team at jdpower.com express, “The Hyundai Accent is proof positive you don’t need to spend a bundle to get an exceptional driving experience. It’s fun; it’s efficient; it’s comfortable—plus it loaded with technology.”
Sounds wonderful.
The informative group at edmunds.com adds, “A compact sedan low on power shouldn’t be this fun, but the Hyundai Accent feels sporty thanks to a responsive engine, transmission and suspension. Overall, the Accent is easy to use, gets great mileage and is refreshingly simple.”
We like to keep things simple.
One day with that college degree, you may have the budget to buy any expensive car that you want.
One your own money.
Right now, if your parents are generous enough, the 2022 Hyundai Accent could efficiently serve your high school or college driving needs and wonderfully speak your dialect.
The Accent is a great starting place and here are some more great choices for teen drivers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — U.S. News & World Report, publisher of Best Cars for Families and Best Cars for the Money, today unveiled the Best Cars for Teens.
“The Best Cars for Teens awards highlight the cars and SUVs that can help teens hone their driving skills and lower the risk that they’ll be involved in an accident,” said Jim Sharifi, managing editor of U.S. News Best Cars. “Each winner offers active safety features and strong crash test ratings, so there’s a better chance of being protected if a collision occurs.”
Hyundai won the most awards in the Best New Cars for Teens categories, with four. Across the seven new-car categories, two of the winners are hybrids, which should appeal to climate- and budget-conscious teens. In the used-car categories, Toyota won two of the five awards.
All 2022 Best New Cars for Teens are available with forward collision warning and forward automatic emergency braking, as well as lane-departure warning and lane-keep assist. All winners also have teen driver controls or available smartphone apps that send parents alerts when the car goes over a set speed or is driven outside a set time period or geographic area. These features allow parents to set limits for teen drivers and have an ongoing conversation with their teens about responsible driving habits.
