April 2nd, 2011 03:36 PM #1Hi mga Tsikoteers! I'm currently torn between the all-new accent 1.4 manual vs. 1.4 automatic. My main use will be for home-to-work commute. I like the manual transmission because it is cheaper and it is more fuel efficient. However, I do not like the fact that it does not have a central doorlock and no keyless entry yet. Also the tires are steel rimmed. With the 1.4 a/t the unit price is more expensive but the car is already complete- with central doorlocks, keyless entry, magwheels, etc.
We plan to use the car for more than 5 years. Our dilemma is if in case we go for the 1.4 a/t, how big is its fuel consumption difference to that of the m/t? Negligible lang ba especially if we will use the shiftronic, not the pure "D", which is available in the 1.4 a/t?
Please help. Your inputs will be most helpful.

April 2nd, 2011 04:14 PM #2sir, from what i have read here in tsikot accent threads matipid din ang a/t na 1.4. mga 10+ km/liter din ang consumption. correct me if i am wrong mga tsikoteers
aside from that you get airbags and abs for the 1.4 at. so sulit na din yung added 100k.

April 2nd, 2011 06:03 PM #3Fuel consumption between A/T and M/T for variable valve engines don't vary much. VVTI's can afford to operate at low rpm's. Because of this I observe that variable valve AT's kahit anong make at easy acceleration changes gear at or below 2000rpm. So, if you change gear in MT in this range, you basically get similar result. I don't know what type of AT trans does the accent have (hopefully lock-up torque converter type), but the ZF trans in my hyundai doesn't slide at all; parang manual. Some AT's are even adoptive whether you are aggressive or passive in accelerating.

April 3rd, 2011 04:12 AM #7hindi naman matipid ang M/T in the long run kahit may konti tipid ka sa gasolina
M/T more mechanical parts hence more prone to repairs/replacement in the future
sa panahon ngaun sayang lang bumibili ng M/T para ka bumili ng cellphone na sliding door, mas mechanical mas dami chances masiri

April 3rd, 2011 04:24 AM #8question ano ba complete specs nyan 1.4 A/T. i have ridden the 1.4MT and boy it drives fast and okey na ang suspension and handling. if not for the lack of airbags, and the M/T problem in the future, eto na lang kukunin ko para kay misis
so 1.4 at comes with airbags, central locks, keyless entry? how about ABS? and how about mags, steel rims pa din ba?
