Absolutely! The Accent handles winter well, though I do lose a bit of mileage in colder months—dropping to about 30 MPG.

I’ve had my Hyundai Accent for over three years now and I can confidently say it’s reliable. The safety ratings are decent, with a five-star overall rating from NHTSA. It handles well in both city and highway conditions.
That’s awesome to hear! I’m looking for a budget-friendly car. Did you find any issues with the safety features over time?
I’ve never had any major issues with mine either. The lane-keeping assist is a nice touch, although I still wish it was a bit more responsive at times. Overall, it’s been a solid car.
Lane-keeping assist sounds great! How does it perform in bad weather? I’ve heard mixed things about smaller cars in heavy rain.
In heavy rain, I didn’t notice anything alarming with my Accent. Just drive cautiously! It may not have the weight of larger cars, but it definitely holds its own during light storms.
Honestly, the Accent has a really good reliability record. I’ve done over 60,000 miles, and the only maintenance I did was regular oil changes and tire rotations.
That’s reassuring! What about its performance on longer trips? I’m curious if it can handle road trips comfortably.
I took mine on a 1,500-mile trip last summer—no problems at all! However, you might want a pillow for those long hours in the seat. Comfort can get a little questionable after a while! 
Haha, true! How did you feel about the gas mileage? I’m hoping for something that won’t break the bank on road trips.
