April 18th, 2012 02:16 AM #121Hindi po comparable ang RON natin at "RON" nila. Mali kasi ang ginagamit nilang term. Dapat ay AKI (anti-knock index). Aki is the average of RON & MON. Paki google na lang po ...

April 18th, 2012 07:10 PM #122This thread and the accent issue thread have been quiet for a few days... Does this mean that the knocking issues have been resolved by the Euro 2 update? Baka mas adaptive na yung program sa Euro 2. My FD civic sometimes have knock pag nakapagkarga ako ng probably bad mix ng gas. pero it goes away naman.
Ok na kaya ngayon kumuha ng Accent? Or wait pa for some time? Yung sa Kia Rio, may nabasa ako sa kia-forums.com na may knocking din yung dito sa Pinas. Pero naresolve by changing burnt/defective spark plugs due to low grade fuel...

April 25th, 2012 12:58 AM #124^ in my honest opinion, don't take this "motoring journalists" seriously. lahat talaga ng reviews nila eh positive or good or remarkable, eh brand new yun tsikot eh. bagong salta lang sa'tin if not bagong launch lang internationally. how can you really review a brand new car if the car itself hasn't been in the road for too long. syempre, pag brand new it will perform well.
there are many motoring journalists here who are also forumers: if you really want to feel them alamin mo mga tsikot nila, ang alam ko mga tsikot nila may entry level sedans and suvs and then they're reviewing top notch cars na they too dont' even buy. lalo lang nagmamahal ang presyo ng tsikot dito sa Pilipinas, bec ang dealers kailangan mag-budget na pambayad sa kanila, sa magazine nila, pampakain sa product launching etc etc.
my best gauge for review is youtube. mas maganda if you find Europeans and Americans reviewing their own cars with their own videos. pansin ko kung hindi ganun ka-biased ang mga nationalities na ito even if they find something negative with their own cars.

be smart and be practical. the US already experienced financial meltdown, Europe happening as we speak, tayo na sunod (asia) it's inevitable. buying untested new cars today napaka-delikado lalo na pag tinamaan tayo ng financial crisis at nasa kalagitnaan ka pa lang ng paghuhulog sa tsikot mo. with what I'm seeing in the next two years, ang mga masusuwerte eh yun hindi bibili ng bago car ngaun unless its cash or those who bought adventures and montero and innova diesels. sigurado ang mga cashflow ng mga ito. napakasakit yun bibili ng mga gasoline cars ngaun be it a sedan and SUV, dahil ang gasolina will definitely go P75 in the next two years. swerte na siguro yun mga bumili ng accent, rio, i10, picanto kasi mag-survive sila. in these times, dapat ang isipin eh a car is just point A to B and depende na sa iyo kung hanggang saan comfort gusto mo. if an accent A/T entry-level is good enough, then good. pero yun bibile ng bago Sta Fe, better pray that you will have a windfall of money in the next years

gray market are parallel importers, not necessarily cheaper but definitely has truckloads more bells and whistles than HARI units.
Regarding sa warranty, pitstop offers 5 years, i dunno about hancars and the others. I bought my Grand Starex sa pitstop, and no regrets so far.

Kung magkakaroon ako ng hyundai mukhang sa pitstop or hancars ako bibili. Mas mukhang mas may alam sila sa producto nila kaysa sa hari na official philippine distributor pa naman. Imagine official distributor palpak!
