Hyundai Elantra While not much larger than the accent, the Elantra offers similar room, but a sportier look and feel, as well as more power.

Likely a frozen fuel line. Dump a bottle (or two) of Iso-HEET in the tank and let the car sit overnight. Regular HEET may work as well, but the alcohol in the Iso- product will do a better job of thawing any ice that may have formed in the lines, particularly at sub-zero temps. Since the starter has been used repeatedly, it wouldn't hurt to charge the battery back up while waiting for the HEET to work.
