I bought one I'm happy. Some of the interior trim is a bit cheap, and that 2-3 shift is really a killer, but good car. Especially for the wife person. Plus no car repair bills means I can save up for something fun and fast.

True about the sunroof, but you can't turn the traction control completely off in the Fiesta from what I've heard.

Ooo, I suddenly want to dump 5k worth of upgrades into my Accent. It would make a fun little sleeper.

Have you driven the new Accent? I own one, and it's really a nice car. A/C power locks, power windows, ipod input, and satellite radio are standard for it. Cruise control is in 2013, wasn't in 2012, but was available.

Errr... balls to bring it to America? The new gen hasn't been wagonized yet, has it?

That would require critical thinking.

Cadillac CTS-V Sedan (for comparison of apples-to-apples, since BMW lacks the balls the make a wagon)

"And a shooting brake is technically a coupe with a wagon rear end."

*facepalm*

You were just pauljonesed!

It's because the c-pillar is currently camouflaged... makes it look like the Sebring/200C

My wife is 4'10" and can drive stick in a 90's Escort, first gen Focus and a new Accent with no problems.

Amen. This adds like... 10 points the jalopnik scale.

hahaha #COTD

Not up on two wheels about to tip... even when blowing tires it still stays relatively planted.

What I'm saying is that everyone else who has done tests like this, including consumer reports, has had zero problems with stability. When the Jeep engineers came to sweden to witness the even themselves, the magazine was unable to replicate it (mentioned in this…

Could this possibly be downright shitty journalism, with them turning the traction control off for the test to get "shocking" results? No one else besides this magazine has gotten results even close to this, and no car I've driven with the TCS activated lets the tail swing out that wide. Could be at this point they're…

The Mutants predate Bane actually.

Well it seems like too often people hate the design of a car because it's "derivative" (nothing is new, ever, get over it) or they just say that they hate it. You make a passionate argument with good reasoning. In short, you did it the pauljones way.
