Replying to: alpha01 (Oct 28, 2004 5:14 pm) Serious. I thought everybody knew that. I don't know, perhaps the Accent5 is only available in Canada. I already saw the commercial almost 10 times on the T.V. Replies to this message: alpha01 (Nov 02, 2004 12:55 pm) lexi4life (Nov 02, 2004 3:27 pm)

Replying to: player4 (Jul 06, 2004 9:42 am) The statement of a five door being the first for hyundai's accent line is false. Hyundai has made a five door model of the Accent for years. It has just not been imported into the USA. Go to Hyundai uk or Hyundai canada site to see how good the five door looks.A shame really that it was never imported into the USA.

Replying to: lexi4life (Nov 01, 2004 2:03 pm) I was referring to the two airbags part. ~alpha Replies to this message: lexi4life (Nov 02, 2004 3:27 pm)

Replying to: alpha01 (Nov 02, 2004 12:55 pm) It really has 2 airbags. But I was being sarcastic since none of the other models in the Accent's line-up have 2.

that you were from the US/Canada... in which case the Accent has had 4 airbags standard since mid 2003 model year. where are you from? ~alpha Replies to this message: lexi4life (Nov 03, 2004 1:58 pm) moparbad (Nov 03, 2004 2:43 pm)

Replying to: alpha01 (Nov 02, 2004 7:23 pm) I'm from Québec, in Canada. Where are you from? In Canada, unfortunately, the Accent has just ONE airbag for the driver that's all. I suppose it's to offer the lowest price possible. But it's popular anyway like almost all the other sub-compact cars (Aveo, Wave, Swift+, Echo Hatchback/Sedan) so Hyundai probably thinks the Accent doesn't really need improvements in terms of safety since it's already so popular...

Replying to: lexi4life (Nov 03, 2004 1:58 pm) 03 Accent had only drivers airbag in Canada. 04 and 05 have dual airbags in Canada. Sadly, the side airbags that are standard equipment in the USA are not available in Canada. It is unfortunate that there is not a standard safety spec. for vehicles worldwide. In EEU ABS brakes are now required equipment, it would be nice if all the USA/Canada Hyundai vehicles had standard ABS.

My niece needs a new car and bottom line cost is an issue but so too is the warranty and safety equipment. Owning an Elantra GT hatch, I'm partial to a base Elantra or Accent with A/C. Any one out there have other thoughts from your own experiences? I see where Chevy just put a $5k rebate plus other incentives on the going into history Cavalier. The Aveo is a price leader too as are some late model Foci after the first year or two of depreciation. Late model used Hyundai? Would love to get the new car warranty though. Thanks.
