The basic difference will all boil down to how soon you can burn off 4,000 liters of diesel or 8000 liters of petrol for the two variants, or about 60,000kms or about 4-5 years on average. At or beyond that number, economics begin to favor the Accent. Since most Pinoys hold on to their vehicles for quite a number of years beyond that, maybe 10-12, the Accent crdi would be the more prudent choice.
Factor in the more volatile pricing of petrol as compared to the relatively stable price of diesel being the "poor man's fuel", moving forward, the Accent begins to glimmer some more.
