Hyundai ACCENT Hatch CRDI 1.6

[k0mpressor]

Parang same engine lang naman sila eh? U-II engine. Baka yung DCT lang nila yung naging 136 HP pero yung 2016 manual eh rated pa rin ng 128 HP.

The brochure says 136 na rin maski manual pero sa torque sila nagkatalo and powerband (mas usable yung powerband ng manual na 260nm compared sa 300nm na matic). And with a side by side comparo with my neighbor's 2013 MT Hatch and my 2016 MT, magkaiba yung turbo nila. Mine already has e-vgt whereas conventional vgt pa yung sa kanya.

Same pa rin yung engine block na U-II D4FB albeit different design lang yung top plastic cover ng valve cover.

Hello mga sir.

Pahelp naman sa dilemma ko.

Im torn between this and the civic.

Here is my situation

Accent Hatch MT (Bnew Installment) vs Civic 2007-2008 1.8S (2nd hand of course, but cash basis)

if you have enough cash to cash out the civic, would you still choose the accent thru installment? i cant cash accent right now, but Im in need of a car ASAP. i mean, really, ASAP.

Accent via installment cons:
1. no assurance yet na mapapasayo (malay natin biglang mabankrupt xD)
2. smaller car

Civic via cash basis cons:
1. Baka may defect makuha
2. Almost 10 years old na
3. Fuel hungry?

Civic via cash basis PROs:
1. Sure, sayo na. Wala ng problema monthly.
2. Bigger car
3. Maporma parin hanggang ngayon (IMO)

Accent via installment PROs:
1. FUEL EFFICIENT (eto talaga yung main na gusto ko sa sasakyan nato)
2. Brand New, less kaba sa mga defect unlike 2nd hand

Thank you.

with all respect... ipon ka muna pera, ownership pa lang na iisip mo, di ka pa ready sa operating and maintenance cost niya... oo sayo nga yong sasakyan, pano pag na aksidente ka or na total loss ka... (OT na ito, iba thread na lang)

thanks sa mga advise...

Care to share why you need a car ASAP? It would help readers better understand your situation.

Between your two choices, I would definitely go with the secondhand car. I don't think cars are worth loaning. If you can't buy it in cash, don't buy it. The interest alone that you'll be paying for with a 5-year loan is enough to pay for your gas and maintenance for 5 years.

Many people are enticed by low-downpayment deals, not realizing the gravity of the fact that they will be paying 15-20,000 a month on amortization alone. Plus gas, toll, parking, maintenance. Your finances will take a big hit, so you have to be ready for it.

With a secondhand car, you pay for it in full and it's yours. Trust me, the money you'll spend for repairs is still much much less than the money you'll spend paying monthly amortization. Even if you factor in the higher gas expenses, it's still cheaper to go secondhand.

What you have to be careful with is the particular unit you'll be getting. I would rather pay an extra 20-30k for a fresh unit than go for a cheap unit that's more likely to break down (if it doesn't already have a lot of problems the moment you buy it). Be patient when looking for a unit and make sure to have a qualified mechanic inspect the car thoroughly before buying it. Due diligence will save you lots of money in the long run.

Yes, buying a secondhand car is more tedious than just going to the showroom and getting a bnew car via loan, but it will come out cheaper in the long run.

I'd take an FD over an Accent. The Accent just screams medrep car, and the interior looks and feels cheap. Its engine is top-notch no doubt, but the rest of the car is so-so.

On the other hand, the FD is very fun to drive, looks decent even when stock, and looks even better with tasteful mods. Lots of space for a car in its era, and offers a more comfortable ride than the subcompact Accent. Downside of course is the fuel consumption, but I can live with that.

eto talaga yung nasa isip ko. maraming salamat sir. may kadeal na ako bukas, 2010 manual S variant. 440k.

i dont worry about the maintenance and operating cost. mas worried ako sa monthly payment. maintenance can wait.

sorry sa OT topic. i appreciate everyone's input.

[dr.anel]

regarding dun sa question why i need it asap, is because i need one for my business. the nature of my business needs a lot of transpo.

Good day guys, new forum user here, and 1st time car owner. Balak kasi namin kumuha ng family car/na gagamitin din sa work ko (field worker ako so kung saan-saan ako napupunta..hehe), either Honda jazz vx, hyundai accent hatch dsl or vios 1.5 G. For keeps na po ito (walang balak ibenta after 10 or 15 years), Regarding sa accent hatch dsl, may gusto ako malaman:
1. fuel efficiency (mix highway and city driving w/ moderate to heavy traffic, sa pampanga ang location, mainly angeles/san fernando)
2. cost of PMS for the first 100k kms (possible ba? kahit rough estimate ng cost ok lng)
3. saan ang magandang casa magpaPMS (ung malapit lang sa location namin and totoo po ba na mahirap i-maintain ang current nilang model ng hatch?)
4. availability ng parts (major or minor parts kung may nasira man)
5. riding comfort (compared to jazz and vios)
6. and lastly (optional question lang) san maganda kumuha ng unit? ung maganda ang aftersales at my discount..hehe

Thanks in advance sa info guys, first time car owner lang and totally noob here. So any information is greatly appreciated po.

I have a different take on the "fun to drive" part since I have also driven an FD (1.8V model) and currently own the current diesel sedan with 6MT.

The diesel gives me tons of fun especially with the abundance of torque and tire-screaming takeoffs plus the bonus of no guilt feelings on the pump. Its 136 horses is more than enough for me (I already have the e-vgt variant). I also used to own a 1.5 VGT (same body with Rangen taxis) and the performance difference between the two is very noticeable.

It never felt that way with the FD.

Diesels always have more useable power at low revs compared to gas engines. This difference is further exacerbated by the high-revving nature of Honda engines.

I don't know how you drive, but having taken the FD out on mountain roads, I'm sure that it handles much better than the Accent, which feels soft and mushy around corners. Also, I like driving my cars all the way to their redline - the Civic really feels alive after 5000 rpm. On the other hand, the Accent loses steam after 4000 rpm so I always upshift early.

In city driving, the Accent is useful in zipping about. But the Civic really shines as long as you give it enough space to redline in second gear onwards.

Your observations, I felt with the previous gen that I owned. However, I beg to disagree with the current gen sedan with the e-vgt turbo. The powerband and torque plateau is much more usable compared to the previous gen with the vacuum activated VGT. And I don't need to rev beyond 4k since it redlines at 4.5k anyway and with the closer ratios of the 6MT, you still land in the peak torque zone if you shift at 4k rpm. As for the handling, yes the previous gen was too soft and surprisingly, the my current one is noticeably stiffer. The cornering experience is closer to my previous Getz.

It's the current 7DCT that disappointed me. It may be fuel mapped to 300nm (compared to 265nm for the MT) but the resulting torque curve is, in my opinion: useless.
