Just to comment on this,

- Engine Knock -- so far ("knock" on wood ) -- havent encountered this yet, but ever since i read about the issue, Ive been using Shell unleaded just to be safe.. . Just a question though.. when they say Shell "unleaded", does that mean just the unleaded variant or even the V-Power and Premium variants (w/c AFAIK are technically also 'unleaded'). In any case, I fill up with the (slightly) lower priced unleaded variant. Is it ok do that or is it more advisable to get the Premium or V-Power ones?

- Car Antenna and Car handles.. no issues with me so far... BUT..!!!

- ... my issue is the lever on my driver side to slide the car seat had fallen off... TWICE..!! Thankfully its just something you can slip back in (at a certain orientation or angle, and you have to do it by going down the car to see it better). I guess its what some of the reviewers mean when they noted the interior of the accent to be a little sub-par. Still its no biggie for me as long as it can be rturned properly and doesnt happen that often (perhaps my hand was just too heavy.. hehe)

- Have to unfortunately agree with the bottoming out issue when going over a hump.. with or without passengers, but ESPECIALLY with passngers and loaded trunk.. i find this unacceptable in a new car.. I wonder if replacing the shocks would fix this?

- Fuel Mileage... I envy those posts saying they can get over 10 km/l.. Im averaging just between 6 to 7 on mostly city driving.. :-( Hopefully this will improve, I just got my 1000 PMS and eager to go on a long road trip to get maxxed mileage... (btw I have the 1.4 AT... i hear the MT is more fuel efficient.. I just hope its not more than 1 km/L diff. between the two..)

- "Hatak".. every know and then it lurches when shifting gears, and the acceleration is a tad slow, but i love how smooth it goes even at 100-120 km (so far I can only do this on the skyway.. want to go up to 140kph or more but im afraid i might be accosted by cops for breaking the 100 limit once i reach the exit.. )

Now its been a while since i drove a brand new car (our car is over 10 years old hence we got a new one).. but i did drive our old car back when it was new and i dont remember it to ever be this smooth. In fact, i almost cant believe im travelling 100-120 already if i wasnt looking at the speedometer...

Over all, taking all the good and bad, the good still outweighs the bad issues... here's hoping no more bad issues gets added and that the old ones gets resolved soon...
