Nothing wrong with made in korea.

Tingin mo yung Samsung, inferior product?

I'm still for the Fiesta though, just because the Accent still has the unresolved engine knock issue.

Medyo hindi sulit kasi ang economy car kapag napipilitan gumamit ng high octane gas. Camry nga namin masaya sa regular unleaded

It might be a little too late to change your decision since the Accent is on its way. But I think the Fiesta wins this comparo. Though, you said you needed space so I guess that's where the Accent answers unless you go for a Fiesta Sedan. Feedback regarding the 1.4MT Fiesta have been very good and have lesser issues than the 1.6 Powershift which kinda stays a bit too long in the 1st gear before shifting to 2nd. I do hope tho that the Knocking Engine thing won't happen to you're unit bro. I'm sure you're pretty excited dude!

yes sir i really want the space of the accent and it's look. i don't like the looks of the fiesta sedan. How can i know if the engine knocking happen to my unit sir? Do you think I can avoid it by using Shell V-power or Petron XCS? I'm really excited to get my unit but I hope that it has no engine problem.

hindi ko sinabi na may pangit yung made in korea...mas ok nga yung accent kasi made in korea unlike nung mga japanese cars ngayon na puro thailand made...

hindi ko pa nadidinig yan engine knock ng accent pero ayon dun sa knocking thread nyan.. yung mga OC lang ang nakakadinig nyan.. wala naman data na nagpapakita na may confirmed knock nga yung engine.. puro tenga data lang

Granted, the issue may be more overblown than it really is - I don't want to risk it kasi when I'm spending my own money.

My thinking:

If it has the techs in the Casa going around and replacing ECUs and doing reflashes, then I suppose there is a confirmed knock. Wala lang official announcement.

Nakarinig ka na ba ng Casa na nagpapalit ng gamit for no true reason? Sa Casa pa of all places.

sa tingin ko may mali sila sa pag reflash ng units which in turn na damage or na corrupt yung programming ng ECU.. kaya nag papalit sila ng ECU na may program na...

sa kia carens noon may lumabas din na update ng ECU for improvement ng EGR response... so ako naman excited nag pa update...

nung ina update na ayaw mag 100% complete yung reflash.. muntik na ako hindi makauwi kasi hindi na aadar yung makina kasi nabura na yung original program.. ilang beses din nag retry.. until nag success.. na kita ko yung problem kung bakit ayaw mag tuloy.. guess what?? loose USB connection!! kasi yung mga technician ang lilikot habang nag update kaya yung cable nagalaw at nag loose.. kaya sabi ko sa kanila wag muna mag likot at stay still yung mga cables.. ayun nag 100% na..

If they are indeed bricking their own ECUs, I'd think HARI would be quick to stop any reflash procedure. Does not make sense from a business standpoint. Nalulugi sila ng mag-isa.

More logical is the assumption that they are indeed getting new programming/ECU firmware but this fails to resolve the issue, rather than them stupidly bricking ECUs and replacing them with new ones.

Also, to support my statement, I do believe that the new ECUs were offered to people with low power/knocking units, not those na na-brick yung ECU via reflash. Meaning hindi pa sira yung ECU at the time na ni-"go" yung replacement.

Can't guarantee even if you use premium. Ask sir bratski dun sa engine knock thread. Siya yung may Accent, not me.
