Hyundai Accent CRDI sedan

[dr. d]

When this car was just newly introduced in the market, the handling was one of the gripes of the reviewers. Then again, the car was never intended to be a performance car, but as an entry level car. It just so happens that the car has a fantastic frugal diesel engine. One of the first things to address to improve the handling will be to change the steel wheels & get bigger tires. It all depends on how & where you drive, but you can change the shocks & add strut bars & anti roll bars if it’ll suit you. For me, the reason I added the strut bars is becuse I spend a great majority of my driving in the SLEX & STAR (as in everyday). Fortunately, the roll bars are available in the country.

then, there's the warranty issues, if one is eyeing upgrading the suspension et al...

but my real gripe is the driver and passenger space.
apparently, i am bigger than the average korean.

Hyundai Accent 1.6 7DCT (DSL) highly recommended. Sa traffic khit abutin pa kayo ng umaga di ka mag worry kc diesel at matipid, Kung bilis nman pag usapan, super quick sya mag accelerate and bilis, so far halos na ksabay ko, lahat naiiwan kc ganda ng turbo nya, kung sa highway nman, kahit mga V8 SUV, 140 kph pareho kayo, gulat ka nlang 160 na accent, naiiwan na cla, sarap parin patakbuhin khit ganon na kabilis kumakapit prin sa kalsada. Wla pa masyadong nakakalam ng power ng accent na 1.6 7DCT (DSL) pero pag na maneho mo hindi mo sya ipagpalit pagdating sa performance. I'm really proud having an accent.

I noticed that also among our local American/Japanese PPVs/SUVs here, ang bagal to speed up from 140 kph zone pero ang Santa Fe at Tucson CRDIs, ang bibilis.

Wala naman issue with my small American Car and my Japanese SUV pushing to speeds past 150 kmh.

Not really. Cars are usually set up for comfort, more so entry level cars. To change the shocks to stiffer ones will compromise that. A solution to stiffen the chassis of any car without compromising comfort will be a performance upgrade using strut bars, body brace & stabilizer. These are easily attached & it minimizes chassis flexion & body roll. Usually the effects are immediately felt in the control of the car. I learned these things from my friends who rally & drag race in my younger years. Actually, you don’t have to install all of those. The most common upgrade is the strut tower bars and sometimes it is the only one you will need.

mga sir share ko lang po upgrade ko sa unit ko. 2016 hatch 7dct almost 95,000 kms na. to me significant yung improvement sa handling at the same time sa body roll nya esp sa lubak and potholes.

dyan ko po nabili. may basic instruction na kasama yung yellow paper pero may other bolt pa palang dapat tanggalin. try kong gumawa ng step by step procedure for other accent owners na gustong mag upgrade.

Super ok yun accent. Mine is diesel with 4AT tho. Kinda wrong and longish gearing... Mas maganda yun gearing ng DCT. But for me, i avoided the DCT for my sanity. Just in case lang.
