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.

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.

Is the engine of the Accent being discussed in here, the same as the ones inside those taxi's plying the streets? If yes, I would advise the TS to ask those Accent drivers on the pro's and cons of that engine.

I'm seeing a lot of smoky Accent taxis of late. No, am not joking, its just a waste of time.

[victorevolution]

to add why by an accent when you can have and afford more reliable lancer ex. just my opinion

Unfair nga naman yung comparison; at least the Accent diesel hatchback has already set foot here.

Thanks for the replies. Cinonsider ko lang tong accent kasi diesel. Feeling ko sobrang laki nung tipid dahil dun tsaka yung gas accent is fuel efficient to begin with. Pero may nabasa ako dito sobrang pangit daw ng warranty ng hyundai. Medyo naturn off ako kasi parang ginawang money making scheme. Mukhang back to lancer na ulit ako. By end of the month or january pa naman ako magpapalit

The local distributor is getting greedy. Eventually this will backfire on the products.

hyundai and kia is being sued for their lies about fuel economy. and try to check the accent forum thread here, napaka sinungaling ng hyundai dahil lakas sa gas ng accent and even the knocking sound di pa naayos. (no idea about the diesel version)

Ewan ko lang ha, pero wala pa naman akong nakikitang mga privately-owned Gen 1 Accent na mausok. And it's the same model that's being used as taxi units.

Ano naman kasi ang aasahan mo sa karamihan ng taxi drivers (and operators) when it comes to maintenance? Taxi drivers especially are the first ones who will actually tamper with their units just to increase profitability.

Asking the private Accent owners instead makes more sense.

true, but in the accent thread same lang din mga reklamo nila.

anyways how come the vios which has been the favorite car to be used as taxi for how many years ay hindi mauusok(but the hood is always partially opened kasi 24/7 takbo nila and takot mga drivers magover heat) while suddenly itong accent mauusok...and mag two two years pa lang sila sa market?

a car being used as a taxi, one must be reliable all the time... dito lang naman sa pilipinas ginawa yang idea na yan na cheap pag ginawang taxi.

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....

i own a Hyundai Accent 2009 CRDi.. and to answer your question.. Mostly ang mga mauusok na Accent CRDi is because of faulty Turbos.. Di kasi sanay mag alaga ng turbo mostly ang mga taxi drivers.. and yes the other reason is maintenance.. don't compare vios sa accent crdi.. Ang CRDi engines pag di mo inalagaan sa maintenance talagang expect na mausok yan.

Well maintained CRDi engine and proper cooling down before turning the engine off will suffice para di maging mausok ang crdi mo.

TSK TSK were not on the same page im talking about the new accent(gas) not the old diesel taxi model tsk tsk tsk marami ng bagong accent na taxi service, na makikita sa manila- diesel will always be diesel kindly back read para matunton yung topic.

ang inaalala ko ay yung warranty ng bagong palabas na diesel kasi sa BAGONG gas feed accent madaming problema,

FYI- the old accent crdi is the only thing i like among the hyundai models, first mura second fuel economy and third mabilis humataw. yung mga bagong labas ng hyundai na accent walang kwenta.

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

On topic pa naman si bro dexdrex since new Accent diesel hatch ang pinag-uusapan dito. I've seen and ridden in many Accent cabs. You will immediately know if the car is well maintained or not. There are Accent cabs that, despite being 2009 and above (as reflected in the registration number and presence of blue optitron gauges) that sound VERY unhealthy indeed, belch black smoke, and the body looks very battered. But then there are older Accent cabs (with traditional green gauges and tape deck radio) that run very, very smoothly still. Even their headlights are still clear!

Hindi naman porke't taxi ay pangit na ang image niya. Yung Altis hanggang ngayon ay may mga ginagawang taxi parin, pero hindi naman mababa ang tingin ng tao diyan diba? And then it is also a guarantee that this car is proven to be reliable, fuel efficient, has a big supply of spare parts and with almost all mechanics familiar with it. In other countries there are Cefiro, Teana and Accord cabs (yung bago pa ah!), Merc and BMW cabs... And then yung mga tunay na cheap na China cars... Do you see them as cabs?
