If you're at point A and need to get to point B without fuss, boy is this the car for you.

Vehicle is stylish without being too eye-catching and distracting. Four wheel discs all around are nice, and my only complaint would be headlights are a bit weak. Easy enough to fix if need though.

I drive the base model ('L' model in Canada) hatchback, so you can forget about any niceties like power windows or mirrors, automatic transmission, air conditioning or anything of that sort. But it does exactly what it's supposed to do, and the cabin layout is simple and easy to access everything you need. Heated mirrors would certainly be nice on the base model though for Canadian winters!

Performance is surprisingly peppy. With almost 140 horses under the hood the car can do 0-60 in under 7.5. For a subcompact economy car that's pretty good. Handling is typical pre-2016 Hyundai (ie: very vague) but chances are you're not buying a Hyundai Accent for weekends on twisty roads. Fuel economy is good - not great - but you'll get your 30mpg combined if you feather the accelerator.

Reliability is great. No issues other than a leaky CV joint which I've had fixed under warranty. Over the five years I've owned the car I've had no major concerns.

Overall a practical vehicle that'll get you where you need to go and nothing else. If you need cheap, reliable transportation and can do without fancy infotainment systems, this is the car for you.
