As summer winds to a close, many parents are starting to check off their back-to-school shopping lists. For those parents looking to buy a new or used car in Tempe, Arizona for their high school or college student, Hyundai of Tempe has the perfect car for you – the 2012 Hyundai Accent, which just topped Kelley Blue Book’s 2011 Top 10 Back-to-School Cars list as the #1 new car to buy.
Vehicles on kbb.com’s 2011 Top 10 Back-to-School Cars list were chosen with the following criteria in mind: safety, affordability, versatility, reliability, cost of ownership and fuel efficiency, along with the ever-subjective ‘fun-to-drive’ and ‘good-looking’ factors. Each new car on the list is available for $18,000 or less, using Kelley Blue Book’s exclusive Fair Purchase Price as the yardstick.
The 2012 Accent joins the Hyundai Sonata and Elantra, which were just named the 2011 Best Cars for Teens by Consumer Reports.
“Like its bigger brothers the Sonata and Elantra, the 2012 Hyundai Accent appeals to a finely-tuned sense of value, putting a lot of equipment into a stylish, roomy package that competes more than favorably with competitors like the Ford Fiesta, Mazda Mazda2 and Honda Fit,” says the editors at kbb.com. “While not pavement-ripping, the 138-horsepower engine will deliver 30 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the open road. And at a price that’s a bargain, the 2012 Accent demands to be on your back-to-school shopping list.”
Since it arrived at Hyundai of Tempe earlier this summer, the all-new 2012 Accent has been turning heads with its distinctive and upscale “Fluidic Sculpture” design, best-in-class standard fuel economy, exceptional roominess and full complement of standard safety features. It is just one of several Hyundai of Tempe models delivering an impressive 40 mpg on the highway, including the Hyundai Elantra and Sonata Hybrid.
