Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Passat than the Hyundai Accent, due to its greater head- and legroom.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Hyundai Accent and the Volkswagen Passat in the front seats.
Convenience
With the Volkswagen Passat you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Hyundai Accent, due to its tank size and fuel economy.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Hyundai Accent is clearly a better financial choice over the Volkswagen Passat.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Hyundai Accent and the Volkswagen Passat have similar Destination Charges.
