 I was in the market to replace my worn
out, trusty Metro (258k) and frankly was
shocked about how it was nearly
impossible to get a base model commuter
car for less than $13000.00  I looked at
Saturn, Honda, Toyota and by the time I
added air, cd player, power windows,
door locks I was in the neighborhood of
$15000.00+
 I was pleasantly surprised when I drove
the Hyundai Accent GS.  The DOHC is
smooth and with the 5 speed tranny is
really fun to drive.  It rides, handles
great and air conditioning is a standard
feature.  So I ended up with GS with the
Option 3 package (power windows,
mirrors, door locks).  Factor in the
warranty and it was a no brainer
decision.  The total cost was $10400.00
