napansin ko lang, mas maikli papala powerband ng tucson (1800-2500rpm) at sta. fe (1800-2500) source: 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe Premium 4WD - Honest Car Reviews Philippines but they have 40-60% more power than the accent (1900-2750)

mga owners congrats. curious lang ako. na try nyo na ba mag sakay total 4 adults sa hatch ? 2 front, 2 back ? hows the suspension naman po. hindi naman po ba madalas sumayad sa humps tong car na to ? ma gumps kse dito sa village namin eh. naisip ko lang.

[champoy]

Pag crdi pag umitim usok mahal parts na papalitan jan around 30thou ata ang isa.

Ok sana matipid kaso nakakainis madumi diesel paparahin ka ng smoke-belching tapos irerevolution ng todo. Hahhahha

Veloster sana ilabas. Mahal sa grey market.

Tama kayo sir ! hehehe... madalas isa lang ang kasama ko... pero minsan kasi hindi naiiwasang may kasama kaya naisip ko lang. mukha ngang siyete ang mangyayari sa big humps pag medyo mabigat ang sumakay hehehe.

should be since they are suvs and heavier.

yes actually nung nag test drive 5 kami nakasakay. 3 of us in the family and 2 agents. hindi naman sumasayad sa humps.

nasa alaga lang yan sir.

we already had 3 diesel vehicles and so far hindi naman gaano umitim ang usok. siguro yung mga pampasada kasi sagad sa biyahe.

i would just like to remind everyone that the accent crdi is a sub compact hatchback so space is really constrained. before i got my unit i drove test and compared with the other available hatches in the market and so far this is bigger in terms of leg room, headroom and cargo space.

pls. do not compare a hatch with a sedan. it's a no brainer.

hyundai global and commonwealth

What made you choose this over a jazz? This, along with the jazz and fiesta made it to my shortlist but the sitting position at the back is a big minus for me.

Thanks.

jazz is more than 5 yrs. old na even with the facelift plus fc is not that impressive. we want something new in the market and we've had hondas eversince they were locally distributed ranging from the old civics to the new crvs ( still have a civic for porma and a crv for out of town at the moment ). the accent is our third car for daily use since we are tired of cars with 5-6 km/l consumption.

Thanks.

for me, if this was release a year ago and got enough reviews, i wouldve chosen this over the jazz. Cheaper initial cost + cheaper fuel used + better FC. Even if maintenance will be more expensive, i think total cost of ownership will still be cheaper.

Ayoko lang pag HARI dealers is ther 3-month PMS schedule. I wont go to them anyway.

btw, jazz was out of my list, contenders were:

- kia rio hatchback ( nice over-all look and toys inside but slow and hate the 17 inch mags )
- kia fiesta ( too small like the jazz )
- ford focus hatchabck ( nice sporty look and toys inside but i bumped my head several times getting in and out of the door. sobra baba )
- subaru wrx ( really wanted this but missus disapproves...pang chichicks ko lang daw )

also checked out the sedans:
- honda city modulo ( there's a new one coming out baka late this year or early next year and i don't want the burden of buying an old model car )
- new civic 2013 ( love the size and looks but we still have a civic and wanted a hatchback )
- nissan almera ( good size for a sub compact car/sedan but di ko taste )
- ford focus sedan ( same thing ang baba but love the features )

didn't check out the toyotas since i'm done with them....if ever i'm gonna buy a toyota i'm gonna get the 86 since it's a crossover with subaru ( will have to sell the other car sana but ayaw ni missus ) hahaha

[tsupermario]

^you had the subaru wrx and toyota 86 as options maybe you should have taken the MT variant for the driving pleasure

[kidgz]

maganda talaga to lalo na pag budget mo 700 to 800

ay swak swak talaga...

Ang laki ng difference ng Subaru WRX sa Accent ha, kahit saan dun sa othe options mo, lalo na sa price.

Thanks for the input.

Currently driving a GC M/T and need a car the missus can drive so it has to be an automatic and relatively small. Its great that you found the car that is tailored to your need. As much as I would like to get the accent, I just can't get over the awkward sitting position at the back. The wife even said that family or friends would be uncomfortable at the backseat given the metro traffic, what more for longer drives. Only those in front will be happy (me and her or her and one of her friends).

BTW, how's the drive of the accent HB? The previous gen diesel accent seem solid/robust to me except that the ride is a bit nervous/jittery in not so good roads.

Thanks.
