Now entering its fifth generation, the Hyundai Accent has enjoyed a fair amount of sales success in South Africa. From the bulbous 1st generation to the latest sharp lined sedan, the Accent has been around for well over 20 years and continues to enjoy support from the consuming public but it isn't all the car, its what Hyundai does to in-still confidence in their products.
