Pros & cons
Hyundai Accent SEL

- Efficient for its class at 7.2 L/100km combined
- Well-suited to city driving with a simple FWD setup
- Seats 5 with a 370 L trunk for everyday errands
- Modest power (120 hp) and 10.5 s 0–100 km/h won’t satisfy quick-acceleration needs
- FWD may not suit buyers seeking AWD traction
- 370 L trunk can feel tight for cargo-heavy use
- Gasoline-only powertrain with no electric range
Ford Mondeo Mk2
- Good value in its segment at a listed price of 20,000.
- Strong reliability signal for lower-stress ownership.
- 500 L trunk and five seats suit family duties and road trips.
- 8.5 L/100 km combined—efficient for its class for a petrol family car.
- Front-wheel drive may be less reassuring in harsh winter conditions.
- Petrol powertrain only; no hybrid or electric efficiency benefits.
- Performance is modest (0–100 km/h in 9.5 s), not for spirited drivers.
