Cars don't always need to be complicated affairs. The 2018 Hyundai Accent is nice and simple, and that's a good thing.

Revised for the 2018 model year, the Accent SE is the most affordable Hyundai you can buy in the US today.

It's small and it's basic, but it will accommodate five human beings with cargo, it doesn't feel oppressive to drive and there's even a decent smattering of tech in the cabin.

For many, simply having a new car is an excellent thing, and what do you know, the 2018 Hyundai Accent SE is a simple new car.

Visibility is excellent from all sides, with minimal or nonexistent blind spots.

The Accent's 130-horsepower, 1.6-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine is a bit on the louder side, and not in an appealing way.

With just 119 pound-feet of torque on offer, sixth-gear acceleration is not great.

Still, the six-speed manual transmission offered excellent feedback at all speeds.

The interior is well laid out, with a dashboard and center stack that are low and out of the driver's sight line.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
