I know, the Accent feels very cheap, out and inside, you should see the Lanos! Nothing alike, jaja, :D

I have power everything, it's comfortable, seats 4 and gets great gas mileage, oh and I have a 100,000 mile warranty. No one said it's going to be the car to drool for but last I checked I didn't care what anyone else thinks.

Also, contrary to popular belief, they don't fall apart and I can attest to that. For a car that I purchased practically with coins I found in my previous cars seats, it's a fantastic value. The Accent is a fantastic car for the price. Please direct your hate elsewhere.

Personally I think its lame to go into other car forums and start bagging on the people ... dont you have anything better to do?

Why am I here?
I was showing my friend who has an '02 accent the rally car pics.

yeah well, of course it has to work properly, come on, is a new car! I just can´t get over the .... C pillar I guess you call it? it has an old design no where else seen. Haven´t you notice? you know, by the windshield and front windows.
Hyundai is taking to long to over due the Accent, even the Rio looks more substancial, even though it´s smaller, isn´t?
The only Hyundai I like, even a lot, is the Santa Fe, well done, tight, and great value $$$ :smile:

I love my accent its really cute and its alot of fun to drive. even though it doesn't look great unless you do stuff to it. But thats what i wanted a cheap car so that i could deck it out and do what i want to it. i bought a 2001 accent with only 47,000 miles on it and it was under 8K. you can't beat that. plus it still has a warenty on it. what the hell is with everyone and there civics. everyone has a civic why don't we try something new. if everyone has one then weres the fun in that. its not unique and pretty soon its just going to get boring. so get a life and don't bust on everything thats not a civic.

::Tiff::

come on, the Lanos its a bad copy of the Accent (the 4 door version, the original one), check out your car's shape from some side, its the same...

the accent appeared in 1995, the Lanos, with a really ugly grill in the front, in 1997 i think. The main difference between the cars, the grill in the daewoo, and the small plastic in the passenger doors in the Lanos too. A pitiful engine, a 1500cc with 80 hp in front of the Accent's Alpha type Engine, with 92 hp and 12 valves. Of course, check the brakes, the Accent has ventilated discs and the Lanos still keeps the old solid discs, used only in third world cheap cars.

Another thing,
the new primera is the great example of how bad models can be followed, everything started with the Ford KA, then the Toyota Yaris and now the Primera. Having great cars like the Skyline, the Bluebird SSS or the Primera GXE, they make a expensive stuff with camera incorporated in an ugly shape. Even the new Toyota Avensis, with that coffin style, looks better than the Primera.

Better check out the XG's models, that's a nice way to keep a good desing and to improve.

my fiancee bought a Accent. I would not have got it for myself, but i supported her in getting it, it was a good price and had low miles. Not everyone drives a car to show it off.


And yeah, my Civic which is 5 years older than her Accent is 100% better to drive.

Jaja, you realy take it seriously, you think you have a great car, you`re so dumb! And that comparison, is really stupid, its senseless! Get an used Civic, cause cars like the Primera or above, are cars you can`t afford :iceslolan :iceslolan :iceslolan :iceslolan

That's bullshit because I have a '95 Accent with 101,000 miles on it, and I've never had to replace anything major on it. It's a five speed, with A/C, and I like the fact that it doesn't have power windows or locks (they broke on all my other cars). It has absolutely no rust, no dents, and the interior is still perfect. Better than a Ford or a Honda, where if they get to be over 5 years old they're all rusted out. The only things I have ever replaced on my 8 year old Accent is the spark plugs, wires, rotors, brake pads, and ignition coil. I think that's pretty damn good for a really cheap car. If you don't like Accents, don't post in the Accent forum. No one needs your cheap :2cents:

good to hear that you have had good luck with your accent.

yes my 99 5 speed is great I call it the green machine even my daughter loves it and her boyfriend bought a new one he loves it,this guy who knocks accents wants a car to beat to death not drive and enjoy

Hyundai has had some quality issues in the past, but they seem to be the past. I chose an Accent for my new car for a few different reasons.

a.) Warrantee...covers reliability. It'll be fixed for 100k miles. No Honda can say that, and there's more than enough issues in new Hondas to make me not buy one without a good warantee.

b.) Price...who can touch 11,500 for a fully loaded car, brand new?

c.) Performance...got a car for under 12k that can duck under a 17sec 1/4 stock? I didn't think so.

Funny, I raced a 1996 Maxima the other day. It got a nice view of the back end of my Accent. :)

I had an 01 drove it 50,000 miles before trade in. One major engine repair.. but with the warrenty. I paid nothing. Drove it at the track alot. That might be why that happened. Times where in the upper 16s. BTW thats around the same as a Civic EX (has about 25 hp on the accent) So I wouldn't call the crap... u get more than what u paid for with them.

I love my accent ... i bought a 2001 accent with only 47,000 miles on it and it was under 8K. you can't beat that.
::Tiff::

Yes you can.

This week I got my 2001 w/under 10K miles - $5700 ;)

this is to all those civic cheap guys... i have had a 1997 accent for 6 months now and i have had more then 4 diffrent cars INCLUDING A CIVIC, and im not just saying this, i have the money and time to work and modify cars and thats my hobbie, so thats what i do. ill tell u somethign right now ( this is once again to all the civic owners that think there car is the best ) i have a 1995 civic and i ran a full custome intake ( cold air ) with a brand new rust resistant, intake manifold, along with a performance chip and some other ods and ends, in total, i got my civics horse poower up to 153 hp.. ya it was pretty slick and might fast but then i got sick of the fact that if i wanted to add ne more HP i [pretty much needed ot drop a hole new engin in. so i sold my civic and looked into an accent, i bought a 97 accent running on a cheasy 95 HP... man thats a small little engin with a 1.5 liter style, now lets see... i put every single thing in that accent that i did with the civic, and guess what, my HP right then was running at 161, ya thats right... and right now i currently have a few more things adde don to ( venum piston mounts, and a real fancy Underdrive Pullie system and i also rebuilt my exaust system with a dule output) and guess what im running right now, i got myself 186 HP under the hood and u would never bealeve it. now go a head and put down accent all u want, but ne one that has the guts to own a civic and say its better then an acent and is cheaper and better in every way is just plain stupid.

first off...i love hyundais... and defend them everyday. check the tiburon forum if you dont believe me. but cryin angel, you are either

A.lying
B.turbo'd
C.super'd
D.running an insane amount of nitrous and are getting ready to blow your engine up.

show me a dyno slip or something, cause that is pretty unbelievable. and what the hell is a piston mount?

and for all the haters...
http://hyundaiperformance.com/forums/topic.php?t=34978&p=1

sorry guys, i dont know why the heck i wrote piston mount, i ment to type piston gap, i had my pistons lowered about 11 MM so that more fule could get into the chamber alowing more of a burst of energy, and it gained me nearly 15 extra horsepower. BUT I MUST WARN YOU, IF YOUR GOING TO ATEMPT THIS, I RECOMEND YOU GET PROFFESIONAL HELP... U NEED TO HAVE THE OXEGEN LVL THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF FULE SO THAT THE ENGIN DONT BLOW UP. SAME THIGN APPLYES WITH NOSS.... and also, seeing as how tibby dose not bealev me ( i totly understand because not to many people do till i proov it to them, ) i will type all mods i did to my accent along with how much HP they provided for me on the accent compared to the civic.

CIVIC ACCENT
Cold air intake ( custome ) 9 HP cold air intake ( custome ) 13 HP
lower pistone gap 17 HP lower pistone gap 15HP
intake manifold 16 HP intake manifold 24 HP
performance chip 7 HP performance chip 19HP
little tiny ods and ends 4 HP odds and ends 2 HP
venum piston rings 1 HP
custome muffler (dule) 6HP
custome fule system 4 HP
perofrmance cam shaft 7 HP

and tibby.. i am very impressed with the turbo you got on that tiborun..and im also wondering, what size r u running on the tib? is it a 4 cylender or V6?

l8er guys

sorry guys, this dam post thing didint seperate the civic along with accet mods, so ill redo them

CIVIC
Cold air intake ( custome ) 9 HP
lower pistone gap 17 HP
intake manifold 16 HP
performance chip 7 HP
little tiny ods and ends 4 HP

ACCENT
HP cold air intake ( custome ) 13 HP
lower pistone gap 15HP
intake manifold 24 HP
performance chip 19HP
odds and ends 2 HP
venum piston rings 1 HP
custome muffler (dule) 6HP
custome fule system 4 HP
perofrmance cam shaft 7 HP

ok you are so completly fulla shit ... go get your accent dynoed before you claim to be putting down those numbers.

Now if you wanted to be tight and know as much about cars as you say you do, you can pick up a 90 civic hatch with a blown motor for 1k or less, then get yourself a b16 for 2k and have a car that hauls ass, and be done with it. Modding your sohc 1.5 or whatever the fuck that pos has in it is completly worthless.

there ya go everyone, melt is a perfect example of a over jelous SOB. hes so sad knowing that my car is a 1997 accent and it can whoop his sorry cars ass in a race.. well shuit the hell up melt and read this.. I SAID THAT I COULD NOT GET MY CIVICS HP UP NE MORE WITHOUT THROWING IN A NEW ENGIN YOU ASS HOLE... NOW HERE U ARE BITCHIGN AT ME SAYING THAT A CIVIC IS WAY BETTER THEN AN ACCENT IF U THROW A NEW ENGIN IN IT... WHAT IS YOU RPROBLEM MELT... IF U HAD HALF A BRAIN U WOULD HAVE READ MY EARLYER POST WEAR I SAD AND I AM QUOTING MYSELF HERE " i couldint get my horsepower ne higher without droping in a diffrent engin" so dont throw that bull shit about a civic being better then an accent if u throw in a new engin, because i already knew all that shit and i would have done it if i wanted a fastr civic.. but my saying's are this.. a civic aint a civic without a civic engin, and a accent aint a accent withouth an accent engin... so pull your head out of your ass and think before you post a reply bitching at me about a civic being better then an accent if its got a diffrent engin... because i already knew that and everyone that knows somethign about a car knows ne car can be better then any other car if u drop in a bigger engin... and for all my numbers on my accent, u can beleve it if u want to or u can dout it... but i would love to race u ne day and isware to god i would put a 10 grand bet down on it then iid sloughter you ( u use your civic ) so shut the hell up , and dont talk out of your ass.

and ask tibby if u dont beleve me, he showed us all proof of what can be done to a hyundai, some guy threw in a turbo charger in a tib.. i have never herd of that been possible... so right there thats an extra what... 100 horse power, so once again, pull your head out of your ass, and show some respect

first off the term you are looking for is over ZEALOUS not jealous

secondly you fucking ricer, does an accent have variable valve timing, does it have performance parts available for it? Im not trying to act like a civic is all that and a bag of chips, but what you are trying to say about them is not only ridicilous, its flat out stupid. If an accent had that much more potential stock people would buy them over civics, seeing as most people dont have the resources to do an engine swap.

All i was stating is that it would be cheaper to get an older model civic hatch and swap it and have a car that hauls ass.

How much did this "tibby" fellow spend on his/her car to build a custom turbo for it, most likely more than 4k including the cost of the car.

Ill show respect when its due, and you my friend are not worthy of it.

im not goign to argue with you, u dont knwo what the hell your talking about , your ranting on trying to find reasons for a civic being better then an accent, fact is your totly wrong about there not being easy to find parts for an accent or civic being more accisably to upgrades... so once again, stop pulling these bull shit sentences out of your ass and actually say somethign thats really going to proov me wrong. so far all you have showen to me and everyone els ein here is that you think your civic is better and accent ssuck because they arnt as good as civics, well whatever man.... what....ever....

youre not going to argue with me? shit youre already arguing with me. So far you havent said anything to prove ME wrong either so both of us are just going back and forth. Now allow me to make a suggestion. Hit up some hyundai related forums and quit wasting your time here at af. This site not only sucks, the hyundai forum is extremely dead.

I wish it wouldnt have taken me as many posts as i have to realise this site sucks, i have moved on. The only reason im here in this thread is cause its MAD old, and if you read the first page, i pretty much figured its existence is gay. Now your n00b self had to bump the thread at least a year after it started.

fuck this, your all just right jelous or pissed that my car can whoop all yoru civic asses, go ssuck on some cock u overated cunt, eat shit ... fuck u all to hell, im done, i aint coming back to this forum, so go fuck yourselfs.... im threw with this site

haha, i just joined this site too. man that was great! :loser:

i hope the nub comments dont apply to me either. as for the little boy with the gigantic e-penis issues, you know, trying to prove yourself to be a big bad man by making little boy comments isnt gonna convince us. not that it really matters, because regardless of what you bullshit around here online, in reality, you still are a sad, lonely little boy. keep running your mouth, until you run your shit on a track, you dont have anything but the bullshit thats spewing from your mouth.

Wow, this was a retarded slapfight from hell.

Comparing Accent to Civic, a new Accent 5 spd will outrun anything Honda within $5k of its price range, and most things within $10k. Nuff said. And if you're buying an Accent because you want something better than a Civic to put cheap bolt-on mods, you're pretty retarded because neither of those cars are worth buying simply to do crap mods like that. People who do bolt-ons like you're talking about (besides the name brand piston gap...wtf?) generally do so because they want to make their existing car quick, not because they want a "performance" Hyundai. Well, except in the Honda market, which is just retarded. If you want something to mod to be different, then an Accent is definately the way to go, though an Elantra is better because the Beta engine in them can handle more tuning and some boost before you have to crack it open.

In my opinion, Honda's are WAY overdone compared to what they are capable of. Simple fact of the matter is you need an engine swap to do much of anything, and if you're talking engine swaps, let's slap a mitz 4g63 in an Accent (direct swap on pre-99 models) and see what happens. B-16 be left in the dust.

ill take that n00b statement lightly considering we go wayyyyy back melt. lol

its all gravy :sunglasse

^^^that guy knows what hes talking about, except that he mixed some things up. the 95-99 accent will not accept the 4g63 without lots of modification. it will though, be a perfect candadite for the hyundai beta engine found in the tibs. can you say 135 hp in a 2000 lb. car? it would wipe the floor with civics. the earlier excels and elantras(92-95) are the engines that came with the 4g15, and so are perfect cars for the 4g63 swap.

first off, lets not forget that civics are great cars...and the D-series engines actually has lots of potential(its just that the b-series has more).

so adding things up.
98 accent(bb price)= 4000
2.0beta engine on ebay w/tranny= no more than 800
(ive seen 35k engine+tranny auctions go for 250)
turbo kit= 2800
http://www.speed-factor.com/

total= 7600

so right there, you have a reliable car(if you dont believe me, go to www.hyundaiperformance.com and ask some turbo beta's how long they have been running their turbo) running around 200whp in a 2100lb. package.

now lets compare...
98 civic(bb price) = 9000
b16 engine(same mileage w/out tranny) = atleast 800
turbo kit = 2800 atleast

total=12600

with around the same hp(as the b16 puts out around 135 hp too). which would you want?

and if you actually read that post i made on the turbo/super accent, you would see that he spent no more than 2k alltogether. his car ran fine and very very fast untill the turbo sprang a leak. and that is not my car...as my name is tibby01, and that was an accent.http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/icons/icon12.gif

i dont know what b16's you use, but all the ones i know about run 160-170 hp. not to mention the difference between a 98 hundai and a 98 civic is that the honda engine still runs, and will for many years to come, and the hundai motor has shit itself 2 years earlier. and the guy who brough this back up has no concept of anything remotely automotive. that block spacer crap is the biggest pile of bullshit ive ever heard.

Jaja, you realy take it seriously, you think you have a great car, you`re so dumb! And that comparison, is really stupid, its senseless! Get an used Civic, cause cars like the Primera or above, are cars you can`t afford :iceslolan :iceslolan :iceslolan :iceslolan


Look who's talking about getting a used Civic and you drive a Daewoo. Now that's a cracker box, and you are so proud of it too.

You've got spark plugs....most people do! What the hell is anti-theft protection wrapped windows? :rolleyes:

you are right i apologize. i put the b16 hp figure as whp and the beta hp as crank hp...still does not change the fact that you can get more out of the accent per dollar tan the civic.

and apparently you have no concept of anything remotely automotive. a block spacer is an effective way of lowering compression on turbo engines as long as power is kept to a relatively low level.

and there are beta engines at 200+hp that have over 50k miles on them and are still running great. and many people have put over 200k miles on their hyundai engines in on the same engine and tranny... and are still running their cars. why would a car company put a ten year warranty on engines they thought would fall apart. they would just lose money, moron. yes, hyundai's reliability was bad once, but dont dwell on the past, especially when you know nothing of the present.

Hyundai's reliability is no longer a problem, as far as most consumer magazines and survey sources go. According to JD Power a few months back, they're tied with Honda, surpassed only by Toyota in reliability.

B-16's do not come stock with 160-170hp. STFU handlebarf or whatever your name is. You have no idea what you're talking about. I'd put Hyundai's beta engine against the B-16 any day of the week, in any car they'd fit in. Besides, you can't even spell hYundai, so why do you pretend to know their reliability limits?

FUCKIN AMEN TO THAT!!!! im tired of this shit. i think i will make a carrer out of building up shitty cars and stealing everyones money in races... cause it seems there are a lot of people like this.

Okay, forgive me for not including a $4800 limited edition racing motor when comparing civics to accents. Seems like that would be a little much. And wasn't the original argument consisting of bolt-on mods, not imported racing engines?

Thats all folks
