Nice! Fun fact, we never got that color up here in Canada on the MC Accents! Oddly, we did get the yellow on the RB (2010-2018) Accent generation after that, but it was REALLLLYYYY rare. I think I’ve seen that yellow color on the RB-gen Accents....maybe TWICE in my life?
That one looks in great shape....very low mileage and I think the price is fair considering the low mileage and the condition. People like to harp on older Hyundai/Kia as being not great and cheap, but I really do think the MC Accent is overlooked a bit. Yes, it’s cheap and basic, but it’s more fun to drive than a lot of people think and super reliable. :)
Also, you guys in the US got this color blue on the Accent hatch and the Accent sedan...it’s my favorite paint color for this generation of Accent, actually!
BUT, up here in Canada, we only ever got it on the sedan-only! :(
ALSO also, that one has side curtain airbags, which....weirdly....is something else we never got on that generation of Accent up here that I am aware of....except maybe on the top trim levels? Not sure...I know mom’s 2010 Accent sedan doesn’t have side airbags...

If you had to pick an newer model what would you get?

I believe the yellow is called Mellow Yellow and we got in from 2008-2010 and only on the 3-door. I don’t think we got yellow past those three years.
I believe that blue is called Ice Blue.

A newer model Accent? Honestly, I’d get any of them in base trim. I don’t like fancy extras, so an RB or HC (current-gen) Accent in base form would
be perfectly fine to me!

Ah, I’ve never seen an MC in any shade of yellow in person, so pretty sure we never got ‘Mellow Yellow’ here.
Yup, that shade of blue is called Ice Blue! I think it’s metallic paint as well, so it looks quite nice in the sun!

A newer model of any car, though the re is suspicion that may end up being an accent

Oh, that’s a hard one.. I tend to buy used and prefer basic hatchbacks
, so maybe
a newer Accent or Kia Rio, yes. A Toyota Yaris hatch wouldn’t be bad either...mostly
I would love to get a FIAT 500 Sport considering they won’t be sold here after this year, so a 500 Sport with a manual would make a fun little DD, even i
f it’s not the Abarth. My caveat there, though, is that the nearest FIAT dealership is an hour away, so if I needed major work done on it that local garage couldn’t do, that would be an issue...
