Example

2004 Hyundai Accent GT Hatchback© Robert C. BowdenTwo things might tilt a frugal buyer toward the 2004 Hyundai Accent GT and away from similarly priced competitors: the longest warranty on any subcompact car, and standard side air bags. No competitor offers these and both are invaluable to buyers….Bottom line: If you only have $10,000 to spend on a new car, the 2004 Hyundai Accent deserves serious consideration. If you can find better transportation value with four wheels and a roof, buy it.
