my friend has a 1.4 MT Accent, he doesn't do tsikot, but ill ask the question for him.

He observed when the car is fully loaded, there is a tendency for the tires to rub on the wheel well when going over bumps or sudden changes of road level.

Have you guys observed this? he said the Accent has good suspension, in turns etc, but he doesn't like how the rear suspension performs when fully loaded.

any comments from Accent owners.

TIA

Di lang po pag full ang likod tumutunog. Try niyo sa egress or sa humps i-approach niyo ng may onting momentum (yung tipong di niyo talaga na-full stop before kaya mag-approach sa humps). Lalagatok siya.

Nireturn ko na nga yung unit sa Las Pinas. IMO dapat palit talaga, epic fail ang binigay.

Nasa warranty department na raw eh. We'll see. Ang hirap kasing makita yung effort na gagawin nila to fix the blade markings sa interior trim as compared kung papalitan na lang yung sasakyan.

malabong palitan ng unit yan sir, minors lang po ang damage at hindi naman safety issue ang concern ng defects. malamang palit piyesa lang yan kung ano man ang sira.

We'll see. Consider it minor or not, bottomline is the fact that it shouldn't be there for a brand new car.

Ang pangit naman ng experience niyo Sir, brand new panaman.

Buti nalang yung akin all smooth daw sabi ni misis (paint,tint,engine), though I haven't personally saw it since I am still here in Kuwait (pauwi palang ng 20th) . Tahimik nga daw makina, kasi I advised her to break-in the unit by running the engine at different RPMs with 4000RPM as the max. Kaya ayun kahapon napa abot daw niya ng 115km/hr ang takbo niya dahil gusto niya umabot ng higher RPM, at sabi nya sobra tahimik padin daw.

Binawi ko tuloy advise ko at sabay sabi ng hanggang 100km/hr ka lang muna at baka mahuli ka ng overspeeding sa NLEX......bad advisehehhee..

Oo nga eh. Sinabi ko na kasing wag madaliin ang gawa pinilit pa rin.

RE: noise insulation, in the short span na nagamit ko yung sasakyan, tahimik nga. And the engine seems eager to speed up at ang ganda ng response. Di ko nagawang matulin yung takbo but the driver's HUD indicating instant fuel consumption and the recommendation to either shift up or down is a big plus. I think ito palang sa class niya ang may ganoon even for the base variant.

Komusta na yung unit niyo Sir? Andun parin ba sa dealer?
Ano feedback nila?

[obet_carlos]

nice avatar sir andretti!

btw, may mga mods na ba para sa accent? gusto ko palagyan ng foglamps yung mt eh.. at nung hid ni sir gary.. mt binili ko kasi ayoko ng at, d ko feel magdrive.. and astig yung reverse sa upper left..

Thanks for the concern chief. Yup still with them. I'm content with how their CRM Department is handling the issue. Highly different compared sa pag-handle ng Sales at Service nila sa akin. I've raised if it's possible to have it replaced given na I returned the unit 7 days within the purchase date wherein options for Advanced Warranty Replacement should still be possible.

Just waiting for the CRM Dept. to get a response from the "concerned" department daw to lay judgment as to whether papalitan nga. But so far for now I'm content with how it's being handled.

Sir Smarky, nakahanap na ba kayo ng accessories para sa accent? mudguards or window visors ? saan kaya may available niyan?

Sir, share ko lang ha, Las Pinas meron na sila windows visor, inoffer nila sakin ng 1.8k. Pero I went to Concorde, meron din daw sila P900 lang, sabi ko swak bato sa Accent 2011. sabi nung salesman oo daw, pang 2011 daw yun. Pinakita nya sakin, may tatak pa na ACCENT yung para sa driver side.

Ok to Sir, may panggagastusan na naman nito.
Comparing the two, e doble ang presyo ng casa, pero mura padin naman.
Best to do is to compare both and decide...

[bhengko]

baka may photo ka ng combination black and white leather seat cover?

Here are some pics of the seat cover

Hi Guys! I'm new here in Tsikot, infact this is my first post. I've been reading most of the comments in this thread. I recently reserved a bronze 1.4 AT. My SA told me na baka medyo matagalan ang pagdating ng unit because right now they do not have any allocation. I'm willing to wait naman but normally ba, how long will it take to arrive kapag nag order sila? The SA gave me a quotation for the insurance, 30k daw with AOG. Parang napakamahal naman yata. Ano ba normal rate for this type of car? My SA mentioned also that from the date I get the car, maghihintay pa ako ng 2 months to get my car plate kasi daw nasa korea pa ang papers(?). Ganun ba talaga katagal yun and how strict are the different cities sa mga brandnew cars without plates? I work in Makati. And lastly, I wanted to make sure that my car plate number will end 0 or 9 (friday coding), magkano ba ibabayad ko to make this happen?

Thank you very much in advance! Godbless!

How long? That depends on the dealer's allocation of units.

30k? Seems quite expensive. I think the average should be in the 25,000php.

2 months for the plates is a reality. I got my Sonata in March and I'm just supposed to pickup the plates this week (tinatamad lang since maganda pagwalang plaka). I was also given the same reason as your SA said.

Your SA would provide you papers signifying that you're in the process of registration signed by the head of Hyundai Philippines. These papers would be your "excuse" in the event of apprehension and should normally last you 2 months. Most of the time ipakita mo lang and then they'll let you go scot-free. Kung kinuha, just get another copy from your SA.

However, just because you do not have your plates does not mean you're exempted from the UVVP (coding). Rather than the plates, they'll base your "coding" on the last number of your conduction sticker. Thankfully, not all MMDA/policemen are trained to watch for the conduction sticker so you can risk it from time to time. I wouldn't try it with Makati, they're extra strict there.

For a special plate numbers, prices range from 15,000php (3 digits) to 25,000php (2 digits). Check out the following link for more information: http://www.lto.gov.ph/Requirements/omvsp_insurance.aspx

Yan, felt I should do a more comprehensive reply

Have you tried calling other dealers, some dealers may have the unit choice you want, call as much as you can, libre naman ang tawag...

As for the insurance, hyundai balintawak quoted for me 22k with AOG na.

Hi everyone! I just joined tsikot today. I am very much interested with Hyundai threads coz we just got our red Accent 2011 A/T yesterday from Hyundai Baliuag. We got it thru bank financing for 5yrs. The comprehensive insurance (w/ AOG) was handled by the bank as well and I think it's really the best rate. It's below 20k inclusive of 3yrs CTPL.

I've been reading about some possible problems of the new Accent and so far they are engine knock issues and suspension problems. Since we only got our yesterday, haven't experience any of the 2 yet. But I am concerned if it's normal to have much water drops from under after about 60km of drive? As i've said, we got the car from Baliwag and drove it to Pampanga, where we live. When we got home, there was too much water coming from uder on the passenger side. Is this just the A/C? Is this normal? Need enlightenment pls.

Tnx!
