VW Jetta TDI DSG vs Hyundai Accent CRDI DCT

**haxso** · January 16th, 2018 01:21 PM

Help naman mga sir para makapagdecide ng kukunin na bnew car. First bnew ko to kung sakali.
Gusto ko yung jetta dahil sa features at looks, kaso prob ko yung parts niya kung i'll keep the car for 10 or more years and kung may magagaling/maalam bang magayos ng VW dito satin.
Accent ang safe bet since mas mura siya at mas maraming nakaaccent, sigurado di ako mamomroblema sa parts after 5years. Kaso sobrang bare naman ng unit. At syempre/malamang/siguro mas inferior quality siya sa VW.
Pahingi naman ng advise para makapagdecide na ko kung ano kukunin sa dalawa.

Jetta:
+Features
+Looks
-Parts availability after a couple of years
-Possible lack of good mechanics

Accent:
+Price
+Parts
-Features
-Build quality
-DCT

^^^ The Jetta is a better car overall compared to the Accent. The comparison is even far when you compare the Altis over the Vios.

By the way, DCT and DSG are the same thing. VW just calls their dual-clutch tranny as DSG (direct-shift gearbox).

If you have doubts on VW reliability/maintenance and build quality of the cheap Hyundais, you might as well look at the Honda Civic 1.8L or Toyota Altis 1.6V instead.

Target ko kasi sir diesel for practical reasons(consumption and price of diesel). Kaya tanggal na ang Civic and Altis, though gusto ko talaga yung Civic.

DSG kasi sa mga nabasa ko maganda talaga while sa DCT may mga nababasa kong overheating issues kaya con sakin yung DCT, pero di naman ako makaalis sa A/T kaya yun lang ang choice sa Accent.

Parts availability/maintenance lang talaga ng VW ang kinakatakot ko since mahal ang Jetta and di din naman madaling maluma yung looks niya, plan ko siyang ikeep ng matagal tagal na panahon kung yun ang kukunin ko.

Good thing nalang is kung di pumasa yung applicatiin ko sa Jetta, para wala na kong iisipin kung hindi mag Accent.

Pero gusto ko talaga yung Jetta, haha ang gulo.

If you plan to stay with the official dealerships, you may want to rethink the accent. If you can source your own service/parts outside, the accent should be no problem.

bakit sir? yung cost/problems ba ng pag maintain ng warranty outweigh the cost ng pag source ng parts outside ng casa?

Hyundai local dealerships have a bad rep and you may find yourself spending more on maintenance if you opt to have your PMS done with them. Many local Hyundai owners do their PMS outside of casa.

VW only follows a 12-month/15k km PMS cycle. I am not sure if it is still true but Hyundai casas mandate a 3-month PMS cycle.

Just so we will not spread further misconception on some types of trannies. DCT or DSG or any other dual clutch transmissions are the same in principle but their build is dependent on the manufacturer. Just because one manufacturer has a crappy product does not mean other manufacturers' similar product is crappy also.

I would suggest that you try and test drive both vehicles. What others may say may not apply the same to you. Also, thru the test drive, you will know how a car feels.

We have a Jetta 1.6TDI DSG and it is a far better ride than the Accent CRDi I have ridden on Uber cars. A Fiesta or Jazz has better interiors than an Accent. VW's DSG is smoother than Ford's DCT.
