Before i bought my GE last year i also considered buying an accent however, safety wise pa lang i was discouraged na kasi Accent doesn't have dual airbags and abs. i asked the hyundai agent and he said na all accent dont have those features kahit yung top of the line nila, ang meron lang is yung top of the line na elantra which is i think almost the price of a 1.8 civic.

just my 2 cents about the topic. not sure if the specs of accent changed since last year so i might be wrong
