HELP... honda jazz vs hyundai 1.6 crdi (all mt) dilemma

**quetzalcoat** · January 27th, 2013 01:28 PM

Hi fellow tsikoteers. been having this dilemma since last week. we've sold our old and faithful mazda 323 95' model and we're planning to get a new car this february. the criteria for my choices would be first and foremost the FC of the car, next would be the ride, then last but not the least may porma naman. currently we had two choices, yung 1.3 jazz mt na 2012, and yung papalabas na hyundai crdi, both are in manual form. since we're shelling out a decent amount of cash, we also need a worry free car. (i know some people with really deep pockets would not think of the 750k as a big thing) but for us it's a huge sum. d naman kami mayaman eh,

! any advise guys and gals of the choices we've had? other inputs and models are welcome as well, budget would be 750k max, could stretch it for at least 10k more. by the way we're from iloilo and traffic here is somewhat light compare to those in metro manila. the jazz would've been my runaway winner pero we're having thoughts pa on the new hyundai accent crdi, diesel kasi mas mura kumpara sa gas. the only thing stopping us was the engine knock issue on previous accents 1.4 ba yun na gas?

hirap naman pag ganun, pabalik balik ka sa casa, and parang nawala na yung essence na you did bought a brand new car para hassle free if casa pa rin naman bagsak mo

. TIA sa lahat ng mga suggestions and tips.

kung ako sana, accent crdi pipiliin ko. almost same price tapos diesel. pero primary requirement mo talaga yung worry free, yung talagang sure, sa jazz na lang. hindi natin alam kung magkakaroon ng problem ang accent e. pero kung makakaantay pa naman kayo, antayin na lang and observe sa mga owners

Sir, wala pong knocking issues ang diesel. Since knocking is somehow part of normal diesel operation (Engine knocking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). And IMO, diesel talaga ang forte ni Hyundai. Pansinin mo yung diesel engines nila, mas advanced at malalakas compared sa diesel ng Mitsubishi, Toyota, Ford.

Things to watch out for sa CRDI engines are premature turbo (VGT) failure, injection failure. Pero kung titingnan mo sa thread ng 2006-2010 Accent diesel, wala naman silang nirereport na major problems.

Assuming na walang issues itong Accent, sa Accent na ako.

thx bro dct, yun nga ang sabi ko sa parents ko wait for the comments ng mga makakauna sa crdi accent. dapat naman talaga sana worry free kasi nga brand new, and dapat maganda after sales, hindi gaya ng mga nababasa ko minsan dito parang sumasakit na ulo ko just thinking the hassle na pinagdaraanan ng ibang tsikoteer dito with the accent having issues sa engine. kahit nga sana yung mga door locks dapat d pumapalya eh. atleast kahit naman sana mag 1 year muna yung sasakyan bago pumalya mga door locks, iba kasi dito kakakuha lang ng sasakyan ayaw na mag lock nung doors eh. kaka worry lang kasi

**dct** · January 27th, 2013 01:48 PM

^maaga rin ang 1 year worry free. haha. sana man lang 3 years. anyway, tama naman sabi ni sir boy37 ang ganda ng diesel engine ng hyundai. kaya lang sa sobrang ganda baka magkaproblema sa dumi ng fuel natin dito. antay na lang muna. worth it naman siguro antayin ng mga 3 months. sigurado naman may bibili dito sa tsikot

**quetzalcoat** · January 27th, 2013 01:53 PM

yup ganun na nga siguro mangyayari hehe. antay antay and pigil gigil muna. oo nga no? i've read sa mga comments ni sir niky yung not cooling down the turbo before turning off. don't have any idea kung ano yun, siguro may way sa pag alaga ng turbo engines. yup sir boy pansin ko nga hyundai accent na unang model na diesel lakas humatak, i remember when i was on my way pa office, lagi ko binabantayan diesel na accent cab. pagkasakay ko tinatanong ko palagi drive na manong d daw makahabol vios dito? yung driver naman eager to show the power, shift sa lower gear then biglang hataw, i could feel the torque of the accent, dikit na dikit ako sa upuan hehe.

sa traffic dito satin no need na antayin before shutting off. hehe. pero pag humataw ka, ayun, dapat antay ka mga 3 min. lalo na pag highway tapos diretso sa gas station. basta pag malapit na sa destination, relax driving na

**quetzalcoat** · January 27th, 2013 02:11 PM

you mean to say sir pag kakahataw mo lang ng accent diesel or any turbo diesel na makina for that matter dapat pala papahingahin mo muna? say you're driving at 160kmh, pagdating sa destination mo hayaan mo nalang muna mag idle yung engine for atleast 3 mins or more before shutting off? pardon my ignorance hehe, gas user lang kasi kami, never had any diesel with us before.

**joemarski** · January 27th, 2013 02:20 PM

hintay na nga lang muna sir quetz... very promising kasi itong hyundai na ito.
simula pa noong mabasa ko sa autoindustriya.com
Hyundai Philippines previews the Accent Hatchback - Auto News by AutoIndustriya.com
sana lang, gumanda ang after sales service ng hyundai. hassle talaga kung imbes na ginagamit
mo na ang sasakyan mo eh nandoon sa "operating room" ng hyundai.
patience is virtue... malay natin matulad ito sa "mitsu mirage" na talaga namang
magaganda ang owner's feedback...

**quetzalcoat** · January 27th, 2013 02:44 PM

salamat sir joemar sa link, oo nga eh, promising talaga, lalo na diesel and 6m/t plano namin which would be very economical for long drives, we're out of iloilo city kasi, so if we're goin papunta sa city that would be about 32kms driving, imagine pag naka 6th gear ka cruising at around 80-90 lang, hehe. pero depende parin yung fc sa driving habit ng nagmamaneho. let's say pareho sila ng counsumption ng jazz, makaka less ka parin due to the price gap between diesel and gas which is about 10 pesos more or less.
