What about the crdi engine? Okay naman ba sa kanila?

mahirap ba talaga maintenance ng turbo diesel??

Quite an eye opener as I always thought the Accent CRDI would represent value for money due to the cheaper fuel and relatively better FC. I think I'll stick with my Altises then.

Maintenance yes, fully synthetic oil dapat kasi may turbocharger. And you don't want your turbocharger to choke on mineral oil kasi the turbo alone will costs 50k minimum.

2nd - Vibrations, vibrations, vibrations. Mas maraming rattles ang diesel kapag tumagal.

I think this has something more to do with the Accent being a Korean vs Toyota, hindi diesel vs. gasoline. Both cars have their merits, I own an Accent diesel & I like the looks of the Altis. Your choice of engine will depend a lot on how you plan to use it. If it is for short city stop & go, the Altis will be the logical choice. If you go long, continuous distances most of the time, then the Accent diesel it is for you. Diesels need a 20 sec warm up & a 1 min cool down, more oil & more frequent pms than the gasoline. Diesels will take you longer on a full tank than the gasoline & the engine of the accent is quiet for a diesel. And if you do have a diesel used in the city, you will have to take it out for a long 40 min drive every 2 weeks at least, just to keep the turbo healthy. John Cadogan has more info in YouTube.
