1. Fuel consuption - i'm averaging 10-12km/Li on HEAVY Traffic, 12-14 on Light to Moderate Traffic, 21-24km/li on HWAY. I dont know about City
2. Reliability - Old story na yung reliability issue of Hyundai and Kia, plus 5 years warranty ng Hyundai vs 3 years of Honda
3. Driving Experience - Sarap paglaruan ng Accent... It's not boring to drive.. Power is there when you need it without worrying about it's FC
4. Passenger Space/Comfort - Kulang sa slant yung upuan sa likod, Yung space naman, medyo maliit sya compared to my 2007 Lancer 1.6. THough i compared the Accent space vs the bigger 2013 Focus Hatch and hindi sila nagkakalayo ng leg space sa likod, at mas maluwag ang leg space sa Harap ng Accent vs the Focus.. Di ko rin ma gets kung bakit eh ang laki ng Focus.
5. Maintenance cost - You'll spend about 3.5k(semi Synthetic) or 5.1k(fully Synthetic) every 5000-6500(still acceptable as per casa)km on Accent. The 3 month rule is no longer true. I dont know about the City.

Accent crdi. diesel + power e.

sabihin nating mas mahal ang maintenance ng diesel, mababawi rin naman dahil fuel efficient at mas mura ang diesel

1. Fuel consumption - Accent based on what I've read.
2. reliability - I've owned an FD, at wala naman naging problema, I've never owned a Hyundai, so I'll say Honda.
3. driving experience - depends on what kind of a driver are you, Mukhang good stuff yung Accent sir, malakas daw ang makina..
4. passenger comfort / space - Haven't tried both actually, but I think the Honda will be a more comfortable ride. (Bias na ako dito)
5. maintenance cost -PMS ng diesel ay mas mahal compared sa petrol (I'm not so sure pero parang narinig kong ganun sya) , pero sa presyo ng diesel vs. sa presyo ng gas. bawi lang din sya, or baka mas malaki pa nasave mo kung nag diesel ka.

3 vs 2 in favor of Accent for me.

Plus the difference is not much, its not like 1k for City and 5k for Accent... sa accent nga lang eh every 5-6.5k ang interval... ewan ko lang sa City..

[newcarbuyer]

Yeah napansin ko rin yung seats sa likod, parang masyadong straight. hehe

I tried umupo sa likod seats ng City and mas comfortable sya, this is because kulang sa slant yung Accent...Front driver and front passenger naman, same lang yung confort nung dalawa..

1. Fuel Consumption - Walang Unit na pwedeng mag bigay sayo ng 21 Kilomters per litre unless hybrid ang kotse mo o nakamotor ka.
14 Kilometers per liter in medium traffic - Bilhin ko na yan

2. Reliability - Take not of *1st 100,000 Kilometers or whichever comes first

Hyundai - 5 Years Warranty or 1st 100,000 kilometer whichever comes first
Kia - 5 Years Warranty or 1st 100,000 kilometer whichever comes first
Honda - 3 Years Warranty or 1st 100,000 kilometer whichever comes first

Parehas lang

3. Driving Experience - Will have to go for Hyundai No.1 and City No. 2

4. Passeger Comfort - maganda seats ng Hyundai, pero overall comfort Kia or City

5. Maintenance k- All are the same, depende sa pag gamit, mahal ng parts ng Honda just to be honest


Just to summarize, based on reviews, comments and experience

No 1. Toyota Vios, No. 2 Ford, No. 3 Honda, No. 4 Hyundai, No.5 Kia

The Accent being VGT CRDi is definitely superior in terms of fuel consumption and engine performance but with higher maintenance and parts cost. In terms of comfort, the Accent has the softer suspension which would give a better ride but but also inferior handling as compared to the City.

I dont know where you get that the Accent has a higher Parts Cost... Maybe a little bit in Maintenance but Parts? Plus the fact the Hyundai, you will have extra 2 years of warranty since 5 years sya...

Body and suspension parts perhaps not, but engine parts would be more expensive especially the turbo and fuel system-related parts.

i have a taxi unit accent 1.5 (U2 engine) crdi. mileage is already 166584km. only the auxiliary fan has been replaced. vgt and fuel system parts still intact. timing chain still intact. now if you translate that mileage to personal/private use( 20,000km/yr) thats 8 years. regular maintenance(change oil and air filter) every 5000km using mineral oil lang ang gamit ko and change fuel filter and egr cleaning every 20,000km. all maintenance services was done outside casa since i bought the unit brandnew.

Kaya pala wala naging breakdown sa internal or engine trouble, mineral oil pala gamit nyo bossing which is talagang bagay na oil dito sa atin sa pang araw araw na gamit. Sa totoo lang hindi talagay bagay dito sa atin ang fully synthetic yung mga 5W30 or even 10W30 mabilis lang uminit ang makina pag yan ang oil mo proven ko na yan pag nag-overheat ka wala ka protection. Lalo na kung may thermostat pa ung cooling system mo and 5W30 gamit mo na napaka mahal ng presyo tpos kasagsagan ng summer and your car is already 100K milage, naku malapit kna sa overheat kawawa makina mo. Anyway bossing ano langis gamit mo what brand? nakaka bilib yan ah.

Saludo ako bro! I've encountered quite a lot of Accent cabs in very poor condition. Lakas ng vibration, smoke belching, very unhealthy whistling sound from the engine most likely indicating malfunctioning turbo... Do you still do turbo cool down before engine shutoff?

Pareho pala tayo in that everything is done outside the casa. Laki talaga ng pagkaiba sa presyo. Yun lang Trooper 4JX1 namin dati, bumibili kami ng Besco 10W30 at mga fuel filter sa casa kundi tumotopak ang makina pero pinapagawa na sa labas. Besides, never had any warranty claims besides the injectors and TPS replaced free of charge for the Trooper.

I'll take the city over the accent any day or even think about lancer ex glx a/t.

edit: maintenance for the city is every 10k average of 4-5k per pms.

Even if it's at the end of it's life cycle?

Why not throw in the JAZZ 1.5L so you would be comparing a hatchback vs a hatchback?

[[archie]]

can you define end of life cycle?

[e2romo]

Ok Honda, may mga guaranteed safe na CASA kang ma pupuntahan, yung di ka lolokohin. Di tulad ng HARI na ginagatasan customers nila, or Mitsubishi na may napapabalitang pinapalitan ang piyesa ng sasakyan mo ng luma.

So far wala pa akong nababasang bad CASA feedback sa Toyota at Ford, so I guess they are also safe bet.

Masarap may peace of mind ka sa mga CASA, since you'll be under their mercy twice or 4 times a year.
