I'm due for a new (tool of trade) company car next month.
My company provides a list of cars to choose from.
I received the very short list today.
My options are :

1) Hyundai i20 1.6
2) Hyundai Accent 1.6GLS
3) Polo 1.4 Trendline Hatch
4) Polo 1.4 Trendline Sedan
5) Corolla 130 Professional

I'm leaning towards the Accent. It seems to be well specced. The i20 is asthetically pleasing, but I'm not too keen on a hatch.

Anyone have an opinion on these models ??
 
I'll certainly go the i20 route if I were you.

Good luck with the choice.
 
I would take the i20 (currently own one), but if you are not keen on a hatch, get the Accent. Virtually the same car, in sedan form... and actually has some additional features, like bluetooth.

I think the accent was car of the year wasn't it? I'd take the Accent.
 
Option 1 and 2 are the best cars on that list. Plenty of features, decent amount of power and a well built car - Hyundai are doing some good things lately. The Polo is tiny (you said you don't want a hatch anyway) and the Toyota is pretty under-powered for its size.

My parents had a corolla for years, i learnt to drive on it. Guess never seeing it break down has made me biased

TOKYO — The Toyota Motor Company announced a global recall of 1.53 million vehicles on Thursday because of brake and fuel pump problems, but stressed that the repairs reflected a companywide effort to be more active in addressing potential flaws. dd 2010

I also had a Corolla years ago. But from that list I would not think twice. Accent is the one. I took it for a test drive in October and was mightely impressed. Unfortunately they had ran out of supplies otherwise I would have bought it for my mom.
 
Polo sedan or Accent. A naturally aspirated 1.3 engine in a car the size of the current Corolla can't be fun.
 
Scratch the Slowyota because it's daft. Next, scratch the i20 and Polo hatch because you'd prefer a sedan. Then go test-drive the remaining 2 back-to-back. Should tell you all you need to know...

If everyone thought like this the world would be a better place.
