The third generation Accent is rather relatively slow and power is minimal. The speed and response is just enough though and gives an acceptable performance. The small engine is not that powerful although it sometimes provides a spirited pull. At high RPMs, the engine makes a lot of noise expected of affordable cars. The 2009 Accent provides good handling and braking despite having a too soft suspension system. Braking is provided by front disc and rear drum anti-lock brakes. For a compact car, it surprises buyers with its roomy interiors. The 3-door looks sportier especially with aftermarket modifications.

The safety features are advanced for an economy car. It has driver and front passenger air bags, driver, and passenger side impact airbags, and front and rear roof-mounted head curtain airbags. Side impact beams, front and rear crumple zones, and hood-buckling are added safety highlights. The cargo is expected of compact cars, with the 4-door having a 12.4 cubic feet space while the 3-door hatchback offers a 15.9 cubic feet.

Of the least-expensive models in the large 4-door sedan category, the 2009 Hyundai Azera is one of the easily-overlooked. However, with Hyundai offering a ten-year/100,000-mile drive train warranty, quality safety features, and affordability, it could be the best long-term bet. In terms of safety, the car merits very high scores in collision tests.

Estimated Price Range for Used Hyundai Azera: $8,400-$10,500

The Azera is available in the GLS and Limited models. They are powered by a 24-valve, DOHC, V6, continuously variable valve timing (CVVT), MPI gasoline engine. A 3.3 liter 234-horsepower at 6,000 RPM engine is fitted on the GLS while a bigger 3.8 liter 263-horsepower at 6,000 RPM engine propels the Limited. Transmission is a standard 5-speed automatic Shiftronic with overdrive. Mileage for the Azera is at 18/26 mpg city/highway in the GLS and 17/26 mpg city/highway driving for the Limited. The car is nimble and quick. Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph is achieved in less than seven seconds. The Azera handles well with front double wishbone and rear multi-link suspension. Stopping power is provided by front and rear disc brakes with 4-wheel Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD).

The Azera assists the driver with Electronic Stability Control (ECS). A Traction Control System (TCS) is on board to add control on slippery conditions by regulating wheel spin. The car is equipped with two advanced front airbags, front seat-mounted side impact airbags, rear seat-mounted side impact airbags and two more roof-mounted curtain side impact airbags. A downside though is the uninspired and dull exterior design of the body.

The 2009 Hyundai Elantra is the fourth generation in the line of Elantra. This 5-passenger car competes in the mid-size category. Hyundai offers an inexpensive car with high fuel economy, spacious interiors, and many safety features. It is powered by a 2.0 liter, DOHC 4-cylinder, 138 horsepower at 6,000 RPM I4, and continuously variable valve timing (CVVT) gasoline engine. Fuel mileage is 24/33 mpg city/highway on the 5-speed manual transmission and 25/33 mpg city/highway on an optional 4-speed automatic transmission.

The Elantra comes in the base 4-door GLS model, the 4-door SE, and a 5-door Touring variant. The Touring drives at 23/31 mpg city/highway on the manual and 23/30 mpg with the optional automatic. Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph is at just nine seconds on the manual. The Touring variant gives 141 horsepower that offers ample power for the driver.

Engine power is ably contained by 4-wheel disc brakes with Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). It has Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Traction Control System (TCS). Performance is handled by the car’s independent MacPherson struts with coil springs at the front and an independent multi-link system with coil springs on the rear. The Elantra comes wanting in the simple design of its exteriors, however. It probably will not stand-out when parked side by side with the competition. The good thing is it won’t drive away car enthusiasts either. The cargo space is generous at 14.2 cubic feet. Interior safety features are the Hyundai standard in affordable cars: driver and front passenger airbags, driver and front passenger side airbags, and curtain side airbags.

Hyundai’s Sonata 4-door sedan is packed with value. But it is most often overlooked in its category due largely to its very simple and almost unappealing exterior. A 5-year/60,000 mile warranty is presented with the car and a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty is offered on the drive train. The Korean car company has dressed up this 5-passenger sedan’s roomy interior with high quality cabin materials. Plus, an electronic navigation system is an option with the Limited trim. Cabin capacity is a spacious 105.4 cubic feet. Cargo capacity is 16.3 cu. ft.

Two gasoline engines power the 2009 Sonata. The smaller engine is the 2.4 liter, DOHC 4-cylinder, 175 horsepower at 6,000 RPM. A bigger, more robust 3.3 liter, DOHC V6, 249 horsepower at 6,000 RPM is on the higher end variants. The base GLS model is fitted with a 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive and an option of 5-speed Shiftronic automatic with OD. The SE and Limited models have the 5-speed Shiftronic AT. Fuel economy by the Sonata ranges from 21/32 mpg city/highway on the base GLS 5-speed manual to 19/29 mpg in the V6 SE 5-speed automatic.

The Sonata drive is handled by standard front independent double-wishbone suspension and rear independent multi-link suspension systems. Additional safety is provided by an Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Traction Control System (TCS). Stopping power is managed by 4-wheel disc brakes with Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), and brake assist.

Upon first gaze at the 2009 Hyundai Genesis, car aficionados will not deny a second glance. Refined lines, manly looks, and a striking element is that Hyundai removed the stylized H badge on the front chrome grill and let it speak for itself. This luxury car’s maker will only be known when one takes a look at the trunk cover at the rear when the car has just passed by.

The 2009 North American Car of the Year winner features a front engine and rear wheel drive platform. Its affordability in the large sedan category paired with its luxury has been shaking up the car markets. It offers luxury and space rivaling those from America, Europe, and Japan for its price. However, an all-wheel-drive configuration is not present and handling flounders in sharp turns against its competitors.

The Genesis comes in two variants, the 3.8 and the 4.6, rightly named after their engines. The 3.8 liter is a 24-valve DOHC, continuously variable valve timing (CVVT) V6 that gives 290 horsepower at 6,200 RPM. The bigger 4.6 liter is more robust with 32-valve DOHC, CVVT V8 delivering 375 horsepower at 6,500 RPM. The power is delivered by a standard 6-speed Shiftronic automatic transmission with overdrive. The benchmark acceleration of 0 to 60 mph is just at six seconds for both. Fuel mileage is at 18/27 mpg city/highway on the 3.8 and 17/25 mpg for the 4.6.

The powerful engines easily respond to the 4-wheel disc brake with Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), and brake assist. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control System (TCS) help keep the car on the road. Luxury driving experience is belted out by a 5-link front and rear suspension system.
