2011 Accent AT - Engine Knock!

[LF0515]

LOL! ang nagsabi nyan, probably kumain ng usok ng accent kasi naiwanan sa kalye. hehehe I think they are referring to the CRDI accent (diesel) which is 2010 model. Phased out na po yan. What we have now is the all-new accent, coupe-like design, 1.4 engine for the price of 1.2spark/1.1 i10 . san ka pa? hehehe

Elantra tumutulo pag me ulan? Anti-Hyundai talaga mga nagsabi nyan. Ang ganda ng ng bagong Elantra!! yan lang masasabi ko.

Cousin of elantra owner ang nagsabi sakin. I dont know kung gano katotoo. Kasi ayaw talaga ko nila pakuhanin ng accent dahil panget daw talaga. Pinahiram pa talaga ako ng topgear june issue para mabasa ko yung article na Honda City vs Hyundai Accent.

Hahahaha, baka hanggang ngayon sir, hindi pa natanggal yong usok sa baga niya...

Grabeh, generalize yong hyundai in terms of quality.

Ako mismo, owned a honda city 3rd gen & and the new 1.4AT Accent, the current models on the segments. The accent isn't that shitty as what they have told you...

If you read news on some of the automotive blogs and insiders, si Honda felt so threatened that their designers went back to the drawing boards and see what they can do to prevent hyundai from eating up their market.

Even VW felt so threatened that mismo yong president ng Volkwagen Group ang kumilatis sa i30.. It was posted in this forum yong video.

Thanks sir bratski! Medyo nacoconvinced na talaga ko. Hehe.;) sabi rin nila ang Honda City matibay ang kaha dahil made of hard material. I forgot anong tawag dun. Nabasa ko rin sya sa topgear june 2011 issue. And it is true na umuusok daw ang accent? Ang elantra naman pinapasok ng tubig ang loob kapag umuulan?

So far wala naman ako nababalitaan na umuusok na accent. The thing about the harder metal ng honda city marketing gimmick lang yan. If your choices are the base model accent m/t or city m/t, mag accent ka nalang. More features, mas pogi and most importantly mas mura. Pag sa top of the line accent or city naman...mag city ka nalang.o ayan hindi ako biased ha

Elantra owner po ako and i don't have any problem with rainwater entering the car.

So paninira lang nila yun. Syempre nga naman kapag super baha sa place mo, malamang papasukin hehe ;)

Teka accent knocking topic ito ah. Ot na tayo dito.

Back to topic
Been driving my accent the whole day, wala na talagang knocking hehehe. Ang sarap pala mag drive pag walang knocking. Sana pag nag switch nako sa lower octane ok parin.

[weisshorn]

Opps sori boss bratski.

Congrats & enjoy your ride.
Sure lalakas lalo ang demand ng accent with this development.
Magkaroon din sana ako (wish ko lang).

[weisshorn]

sorry double post

One last OT question, soft pa rin ba rear suspension ng accent until now? And may problem pa rin sa radio antenna?

[bratski]

Wala naman sila binago sa suspension so malamang soft parin. Kung marami kang passengers lagi medyo bothersome ito. Sa akin ok lang kasi pang hatid ko lang naman sa school ng son ko or pang harabas ko. Minimal lang passengers ko, around 1 to 2 at most. Pag mas marami pa dyan i dont use the accent na.
Regarding radio antenna wala naman akong na experience na problem

Honda City ba soft rear suspension din?

[meikey]

I have a 3rd gen city, and the suspension is firm.

I think characteristic talaga ng honda na firm yong suspension settings. My sister also has a GD Jazz 1.5, and the suspension is almost the same with my honda city...

Sa tingin ko, na-overlook ng Hyundai yong suspension setting ng accent. though it received mixed reviews as some US insiders often like the executive ride feeling (soft suspension), pero sa atin it won't work because of the quality of city roads and provincial highways natin dito...

[andretti]

Better have a test drive if your worried about the soft suspension to personally feel if its effect.
Tapos kung sa tingin niyo malambot para sa inyo ang suspension, wag niyo ng bilhin

Is it true di ok safety features ng Accent 1.4 M/T?

[bratski]

Is it true di ok safety features ng Accent 1.4 M/T?

Ang accent m/t safety feature lang yung seatbelt. No abs, no airbags(eto di ko sure pero nung time na bumili ako ng a/t variant walang airbag ang m/t). Maraming features kasi ang tinanggal sa m/t variant. If you ask me, mas value for money ang a/t. Aside from the convenience of driving an automatic.

[andretti]

I agree with Sir bratski, safety wise the MT is a stripped down version of the AT.
Again if your really worried about not having all this safety features on your car and you have 100k to spare better get the AT.

Sana may magsuggest na gumawa ang Hyundai ng more loaded variant of the M/T. Parang 1.3E M/T ng Vios kumbaga.
