Accent diesel hatchback 1.6 or lancer ex 1.6

[Mikemike07]

Pinasakit nito ulo ko. I was decided on getting a lancer ex coming from a civic fd. Then i saw the new accent. Di ko na talaga alam. Ganda ng itsura and most probably mas fuel efficient. Help me decide. Kung lancer kukunin ko papalagyan ko ng body kits para mukhang evo hehe. Concern ko is durability, maintenance, price, resale value (will sell after 5 years), FC, cost of spare parts. Thanks in advance!

Not sure kung available na talaga ang Accent CRDi. Pero kung meron na, ito na kunin mo. Ibang iba talaga ang power and fuel efficiency as compared to traditional gas engines. Not to mention lamang siya in both horsepower and torque. Maintenance cost should be bearable if the cabbies bear it. If the old Accent CRDi is any indication, resale value should be pretty solid as well.

Sana hindi to gawing taxi. Yun yung pinakapet peeve ko sa kotse eh. Looks wise whats your pick sir? Sana rin hindi pumalo ng 900k+ to. Di na kaya ng budget. And there are a lot of better options pagdating ng 900k. Gusto ko sana yung new focus. Kaso out of budget. 100k diff sa lancer.

[BratPAQ]

di naman uso sa atin ang taxi na hatchback kung yun ang inaalala mo. kung ako sa yo yung accent hatch na lang, antay nga lang mukhang wala pa.

Hindi yan, just as Sir BratPAQ said, hindi uso ang taxi na hatch. Importante ang trunk sa taxi, at napakaliit ng cargo area ng mga subcompact hatch. Kunin mo yung may 6 speed manual tranny, siguro naman hindi yan aabot ng 900k. Mas matipid at mas masarap pa gamitin sa matic.

Looks wise naman... I have to admit mas gusto ko ang itsura ng Lancer EX. Mas macho. Mas panlalaki. Pero hindi naman pangit ang Accent hatch, and its what's inside that counts.

[victorevolution]

just hope na walang problem ito unlike the gas counterpart!

lancer ex 1.6 if you want a good fuel mileage, but still no comparison to current diesel tech in terms of mileage.

As per GH, the power is there but it's a bit lacking. Maybe we're just expecting too much from a CRDi we tend to forget that it's only a 1.6L -- meaning, you push it hard... but that spice of enjoyment ends quick because it can't continue any further. It has a certain point where the fun ends and it returns to a normal car. I'm not sure if GH tested the 6MT or the AT, but then, either of the two wouldn't be a huge disappointment when it comes to power if you just know where to set your boundaries and expectations. You'd be disappointed if you were expecting too much, say compare it with a Focus. No, it's not that fun... but for a 1.6L, I think it's good enough.

Looks wise, I still prefer the EX.

the primary concern of taxi operators is price tag and their fuel expenses....

IMO if its going to be a diesel and the price tag is below 950k asahan mo na gagawin taxi po yan....

true anyway kahit gawin taxi yan, we should get rid of the IDEA of the car being cheap since pang taxi lang BE MATURE people

exception the only cheap auto is an intsik mad auto! mas reliable pa mga handwork na pinoy jeepney (using japan surplus parts)

anyway go for lancer ex 1.6 ang mitsu matagal magpalit ng design and talagang value for money yung hyundai baka magsisi ka pa sa mga bagong models nila... untested pa dami pang problema nawala pagkareliability

[timrev]

lumabas na ba yan accent crdi di pa ata? kung lalabas man yan anung month nextyear? at price tag?

Performance-wise, which is better?

Naka evo-look EX ka naman, kaso baka iiwan ka lang ng "lowly" Accent, parang nakakahiya dba? Hehe.

On the other side of the argument, it's not all about speed. It's about how your car makes you feel every time you're in it.

The performance feel (no numbers) of the 2013 Hyundai Accent CRDi HB from my test drive was so-so. The car itself handles okay as with it's gas fed sedan version already on the streets. I am just disappointed in the power delivery from the CRDi engine where the power quickly drops off after an initial "healthy" feel of power. I can see the engine might be tuned for better fuel economy by keeping it's power in the low pm range but trying spirited driving can become an exercise in frustration.

The Lancer EX 1.6 and 2.0 engines provide a good dose of smooth acceleration from above 2000rpms all the way to the redline. As a driver, I prefer a more linear power delivery and the Lancer's MIVEC engines are superb. Effortless driving when you are in the city and rewarding to those who have pushed it near it's limits. A practical car for the family yet has that fighter plane look for those who like a bit of excitement in their daily commutes.

Sir GH, dba may diesel tuning chips na inooffer sila Speedlab? Baka eto lang kelangan to squeeze more performance from the 1.6 CRDI.

UN!CHIP can be applied to gas or diesel engines.

They also have the alcohol injection kits which adds more power without increasing fuel consumption to turbo diesel engines.

Perhaps a more appropriate comparison would be between the new Accent diesel's 1.6L engine and Mitsubishi's 4N13 1.8L powerplant. Problema lang is, the latter isn't even remotely available in the local market.

Is the current Accent in the same category as the Lancer EX in terms of size? I seem to remember the previous Accent as having subcompact dimensions compared to the EX.

Accent is smaller than the Lancer EX ...

Lancer EX = Elantra

So? Di ka naman nakikipag-karera sakanya eh.

Pag gwapings ang kotse, always remember: "Drive slow para kita ang mods."

I dont think the crdi would have problems like the accent gas variants. But if it were me, I would prefer the EX nonetheless, bigger thus more flexible in terms of passenger and cargo

Eto din pinoproblema ko nung mga nakaraang weeks eh, pero dahil walang date kung kelan release ng Accent CRDi, eh nag EX 1.6 GLX M/T na ako. So far, ok naman siya. Kaso hindi ako makapagbigay ng useful comments about it kasi wala ako alam sa sasakyan eh at 1st ko ito. :-)

But base dun sa mga may alam sa sasakyan na sinubukang imaneho tong EX ko, ok na ok daw para sa 1.6, kasi they were expecting na underpowered daw ito at not that responsive pero nung na-try na nila, nagkakamali daw pala sila. Isa pang sabi sakin maganda daw yung gearing nito (no idea what it means hehe). I'm not just sure though kung pampalubag loob lang yung mga yun sa akin at nahihiya lang silang sabihin yung negative feedback kung meron man. hehe

Isa pa narealize ko nung huli na masyadong maliit ang accent. Pero siguro an sarap dalhin nun at humataw sa expressway hehe

Yes, the gearing combination is good. The 4-speed automatic tranny has a combination of low gears and high gears. The 2 lower gears give it good acceleration while the higher gears give it good fuel economy.

The result is a quick acclerating car with good fuel economy.

Just saying (again). The Lancer EX is not a heavy car. It is around the same weight has the corolla or civic so the 1.6L engine will have no issue in performing well in this car. The Lancer EX GTA is a bit heavier than the GLS and GLX because of added features.
