Under $20K Sedan Tournament Bracket #2: 2013 Hyundai Accent vs. 2014 Kia Forte vs. 2013 Kia Rio

This is bracket #2 of the Under $20K Sedan Tournament using The Vehicle For Me and for this round I've chosen South Korean compacts, the Hyundai Accent, the Kia Forte, and the Kia Rio.  Here you can see the previous posts in this tournament:

Quarter Finals
Bracket #1: 2013 Chevrolete Cruze 1LT MT

As before, I'm not going to choose any priorities, as I want to get an all-around best car.

This turned out to be very close, but the 2013 Hyundai Accent GLS 4-door was able to squeak by on only one point over the Kia Forte!  I don't think I should be too shocked, given that these two companies share platforms, but I was somewhat convinced that the larger and more powerful Kia Forte would win.  Unfortunately it just doesn't have quite enough horsepower to make up for the heavier weight and larger size, the Accent is just able to eke out a victory.  The Kia Rio is the obvious value pick of the group, only finishing two points behind the Accent, and it sports some excellent front legroom.
