Hyundai Accent Sedan (L Manual) – 10.42 hp per $1,000
It should be no surprise that the Accent sedan is on the list. With the same amount of power at a lesser price than the Rio, Hyundai’s subcompact sedan easily cracks the top 10, though it isn’t nearly as nice looking as its Korean cousin. The Accent hatchback also has a good horsepower return at 10.15 hp per $1,000.
