I'm buying a brand new car and my question is: Hyundai Accent or Hyundai Elantra?

I need it to back and forth to Nursing School 5 days a week. It's about 25 miles away and I need a safe, reliable car with awesome gas mileage!

Thanks!

Well, the accent is cheaper and smaller and gets better gas mileage, but a smaller engine can be more stressed according to who and what is riding in it. Stress on the engine can decrease your gas mileage and total engine life. If it is just you and maybe another person every now and then, go with the accent, but if you are going to pile people in it or use it as a taxi for everyone, then go with the elantra. If you have a need for speed though, just splurge and get the tiburon!!
