I'm seriously thinking of a '12 Hyundai Accent SE as my next car.

I drove a loaded Accent with the auto tranny a while back.Really nice but even with what appears to be a very good warranty I'd still be concerned about it's unproven reliability.Not that I'd expect it to equal the Yaris or any Toyota but still.

I had a 2003 Elantra and it was every bit as reliable in the time I had it as the Yaris. My only complaint was that I didn't get the hatchback.

even the previous gen accents have proven reliable and i expect the '12 accent to be even moreso. its not just talk. as the years go by, more and more data supports the reliability of hyundai. i owned the 2012 accent before getting my veloster and it is so much more than the yaris ever was.

i had always been a "toyota guy", but i have no reservations about hyundai anymore after spending some time in their vehicles.

toyota all but admits they cant sell the yaris on any tangible merits vs the accent or fiesta with their new ad campaign:

yaris. its a car
