For compact car buyers afflicted with the indecisive gene, the 2006 Hyundai Accent may be the perfect choice – there is but one trim available, the GLS, leaving the issues of color and a few select options as the only stumbling blocks. Those add-ons include air conditioning, a four-speed automatic transmission, power windows, power door locks with keyless entry, power mirrors, and upsized 15-inch alloy wheels with 195/55 Kumho tires.

Those are nice options, but the 2006 Hyundai Accent sedan already comes well equipped at its estimated starting price of $11,995, which includes a $495 destination charge. The three-door version, due to go on sale in the spring of 2006 as a 2007 model, will likely feature a lower starting price.

Among the items included in that sub-$12,000 base price are a four-cylinder engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission; power steering; body color door handles, bumpers, and mirrors; antilock disc brakes; two front, two front side, and front and rear side curtain airbags; and fold-down armrests for the driver and rear passengers. There’s also a 172-watt, six-speaker audio system with a single-disc CD player that offers surprisingly good sound quality; dual illuminated vanity mirrors; a tilt steering wheel; an eight-way adjustable driver’s seat; and, of course, Hyundai’s stellar warranty. That includes ten years or 100,000 miles of powertrain coverage; five years or 60,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage; and seven years/unlimited miles of corrosion protection. As an added bonus, Hyundai throws in five years/unlimited miles worth of roadside assistance.
