    Hi,

    We're planning to buy this car very soon. I have a few questions lang po:
    1. Are there issues with supply of parts?
    2. How much would be the insurance?
    3. Does it have 6spd conventional A/T? (not the DCT)

    Thanks!

    Considering the number of Accent cabs/Ubers/Grabs, I don't think you will have any problem with parts. The Accent never came with a 6AT. Earlier AT models came with a conventional 4AT though.

    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 have the 2014 hatchback m/t version. Basically identical sa sedan. Yes, very economical, hindi kalampagin as claimed by Toyota/honda fanbois. I think, through the years, the car/brand has proven itself by the increasing number in the streets. It is also a safe car. I saw one that got crushed by a truck years ago. Front, side & rear was crushed but the passenger shell was intact. Passengers lived. Only important thing I don’t like about it is that is not that stable at speed. I had front strut tower bars installed para di gaano mag lean sa corners.

    Ang shocks nya kasi basic KYB gas. Medjo malambot kasi pang comfort pero pag mabilis ang takbo mo, 140 kph, di ganun ka stable.

    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.

    Sir, okay lang po ba ask ko lang sana kung ung efficiency ng accent na diesel is better po sa mirage na sedan.

    Bago lang ako kaya di ako mkpost ng new thread eh okay lang sana maki post ako dito. If you will allow.

    Im conidering kasi mirage vs accent eh dahil diesel diesel ung isa, baka mas mura pero dahil 1.6 sya baka kako ganun din consumption sa cost in the long run kahit diesel sya and gas ung mirage pero 1.2 ung mirage.

    Cost lang po ang concern ko in the long run.

    Please help me understand sir. Salamat po.

    yes sir rigid collar nga po. Stiff Ring - BUG & MAR Auto accessories, Sole Distributor in Philippines - Home | Facebook
    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.

    kung QC area kayo sir mas ok dun nyo na ipakabit. 4,600 ang stiff ring then 400 labor ng installation. yung saken pina ship ko thru lbc and then dito ko na sa Zafra Sto. Tomas Batangas pina install. labor cost bahala na lang ako magbigay

    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.

    Which goes on to prove that the Diesel is not the ideal engine for puttering around the city. Short trips, stop & go traffic in the city will also not be healthy for a diesel fuel fed engine. Go to any You Tube video reviewing a diesel car & they always say a gasoline engine is more suited for the city. On long drives, nothing beats the diesel.

    in a daily 20 km round-trip drive, you're better off by 4.80 pesos.
    that's 96 pesos per 20-day work-month.
    is the difference worth it?
