Accent diesel hatchback 1.6 or lancer ex 1.6

Sir GH, dba may diesel tuning chips na inooffer sila Speedlab? Baka eto lang kelangan to squeeze more performance from the 1.6 CRDI.

Perhaps a more appropriate comparison would be between the new Accent diesel's 1.6L engine and Mitsubishi's 4N13 1.8L powerplant. Problema lang is, the latter isn't even remotely available in the local market.

Is the current Accent in the same category as the Lancer EX in terms of size? I seem to remember the previous Accent as having subcompact dimensions compared to the EX.

Performance-wise, which is better?

Naka evo-look EX ka naman, kaso baka iiwan ka lang ng "lowly" Accent, parang nakakahiya dba? Hehe.

On the other side of the argument, it's not all about speed. It's about how your car makes you feel every time you're in it.

So? Di ka naman nakikipag-karera sakanya eh.

Pag gwapings ang kotse, always remember: "Drive slow para kita ang mods."

I dont think the crdi would have problems like the accent gas variants. But if it were me, I would prefer the EX nonetheless, bigger thus more flexible in terms of passenger and cargo

UN!CHIP can be applied to gas or diesel engines.

They also have the alcohol injection kits which adds more power without increasing fuel consumption to turbo diesel engines.

Accent is smaller than the Lancer EX ...

Lancer EX = Elantra

Ang nafefeel ko kay TS, gusto niya yung Lancer EX talaga pero was swayed kasi tingin niya practical yung Accent (being diesel & all...)

Eto payo ko lang, kung ano gusto mo, yun sundin mo. Hirap naman niyan naka-Accent ka nga, tipid mo sa gas, pero every time makakakita ka ng EX with EVO X maglalaway ka. Hindi naman ganun kalaki difference niyan after-purchase cost ng EX from Accent. Say average niyan Accent 11km/L tapos etong EX 9km/L tops. Ok, mas mahal.. pero sa maintenance kaya ganun din ba? Sa space ganun din? And lastly, yung enjoyment ba na nakukuha mo sa Accent eh pareho ng Enjoyment na sana nararamdaman mo kung naka-EX ka?

^ exactly. Lancer ex na talaga ako. Yung feeling of contentment kasi ng ex hindi mabibigay ng accent. Lalo na pagmay dumaan na nakaset up. Feel ko pagsisisihan ko yung araw na pinili ko yung accent. Matagal ko nang gusto yung ex ever since lumabas. Ngayon lang pumasok sa budget dahil sa 1.6. Hehe. Thanks!

Pinasakit nito ulo ko. I was decided on getting a lancer ex coming from a civic fd. Then i saw the new accent. Di ko na talaga alam. Ganda ng itsura and most probably mas fuel efficient. Help me decide. Kung lancer kukunin ko papalagyan ko ng body kits para mukhang evo hehe. Concern ko is durability, maintenance, price, resale value (will sell after 5 years), FC, cost of spare parts. Thanks in advance!

Eto din pinoproblema ko nung mga nakaraang weeks eh, pero dahil walang date kung kelan release ng Accent CRDi, eh nag EX 1.6 GLX M/T na ako. So far, ok naman siya. Kaso hindi ako makapagbigay ng useful comments about it kasi wala ako alam sa sasakyan eh at 1st ko ito. :-)

But base dun sa mga may alam sa sasakyan na sinubukang imaneho tong EX ko, ok na ok daw para sa 1.6, kasi they were expecting na underpowered daw ito at not that responsive pero nung na-try na nila, nagkakamali daw pala sila. Isa pang sabi sakin maganda daw yung gearing nito (no idea what it means hehe). I'm not just sure though kung pampalubag loob lang yung mga yun sa akin at nahihiya lang silang sabihin yung negative feedback kung meron man. hehe

Isa pa narealize ko nung huli na masyadong maliit ang accent. Pero siguro an sarap dalhin nun at humataw sa expressway hehe
