As you’ve experienced.
Maybe I should say, Hyundai should solve these following issues & problems for the future buyers of the new accent that worth the value of their hard earned money.

1. infamous engine knock by using low octane fuel.
2. door handles are sticky, parang naiiwan when pulled all the way out.
3. Rear suspension too soft, easily bottoms out on humps. Have to unfortunately agree with the bottoming out issue when going over a hump.. with or without passengers, but ESPECIALLY with passngers and loaded trunk.. i find this unacceptable in a new car..
4 .every know and then it lurches when shifting gears, and the acceleration is a tad slow
5 .auto door lock nya..sometimes when you push it in hindi nagla lock yung other three door
6. no built-in clock (which I think is very important)
7. materials used for the fuel cover parang plastic. i have to personally open the fuel cover and remove the fuel cap when refueling in fear that gas boys are careless enough to break it.
8. water easily enters the engine bay during washing. pag bukas ng hood basa agad cover nung fuse box, air filter cover, back side of head lights, water stays at the side of the above mentioned areas and most notably sa mga wires nung head lights (i find this very alarming).

9. Another issue sa accent ko, as i was exiting a u-turn slot, i floored the gas pedal and only the rpm increases, feeling parang naka neutral. Then suddenly biglang pasok sa gear and biglang sipa. Possible accident scenario ito lalu na when merging sa highway, pag tapak mo sa gas you're expecting the car to accelerate pero nothing happens. Then biglang boom parang sinipa ka sa likod as the gear engages. Pang 2nd time palang nangyayari sakin ito pero nakakainis na. Then parang lumalala yung tope ng makina,
10. Actually mahina din talaga stock bulbs ng Hyundai they use Osram ata. Tsaka nasa design din ng headlight reflector.

Peace out..
on the first place, I believe no car is perfect. kahit sa advancement ng technology in auto manufacturing may makakalusot padin na mga imperfections specially ngayon puro electronics na.parang yung 2007 2nd gen vios namin less than one year ang dami ko na napansin na imperfections


1.) the bumper is not well aligned. gap between bumper and the hood sa left ang laki ng gap, sa right konti ng gap.
2.) nagpo-pop out lagi yung bumper clip sa may bumper to fender connection.
3.) yung jerking from an A/T experience ko na yan since first week until now meron pa din. tried to consult service pero "OK" lang daw yun. similar to problem 9 mo.
4.) A/T makes some stupid gear changing. like 2nd mag shift ng 3rd tapos di pala kaya, babalik ng 2nd kahit di ko naman pinepressure yung accelerator.
5.) shift lock sira na. kahit walang brake malilipat mo sya sa ibang gear.buti at gate type ang transmission kaya hindi magshishift sa other gears ng basta-basta.
6.) plastics on front doors rattle pag kumakabog ang speaker. you will be forced to turn down the volume or listen BASS-less. consulted it to service also, their solution is turn down nalang daw volume.
7.) you have to hold the trunk door pag binubuksan mo. bumababa ng mag-isa. nasugatan sa ulo dad ko, also our SA with his vios.
8.) my wipers judder with OEM, and 2 brands of banana type.

#7 mo lahat ng cars namin plastic ang fuel cap. unless yung fuel door plastic?

sa xtrail also have the 3 bearings, 2 aux fans and side mirror adjustment motor replaced under warranty.

sa sorento Fuel pump naman pinalitan. according to the report, due to maybe a pellet like dirt entered the assembly which clogged and affected the resistances in the electronic circuitry of the pump.

sa fuego out of CASA wipers are not working and rear doors woudnt open from inside even if child lock is off. after that gave us 300T kms, water pump assembly lang pinalitan.

on our case paraho lang vios kinuha natin. pero akin has issues while yours is perfect. you are lucky. great experience for your first car.
