Replying to: backy (Mar 02, 2006 8:41 pm) I am buying one of these cars being introduced to USA, I am in New Jersey, Yaris, Fit mostly, I doubt it would be the Versa, somehow it seems to me being on the luxury side and, this is not what I have in mind, besides it would be the last so far to come to this country and I need a car now, mostly a reliable transportation. And this is what brough me to write to you, backy, that looks to be very knowledgeable about cars.You said you want to try the Accent 2007 SE because it comes loaded with standard features, that I have read about it, but, what about the quality in this Korean cars compare to a Japanese. Would you buy the SE just because it is loaded?, besides I am sure you would have to pay good money for this. Please let me know. Thanks.

Replying to: bastid (Mar 10, 2006 9:17 pm) I have already seen the '06 Accent GLS 4-door and have driven its cousin, the Rio. I was impressed by what I have seen so far (I like the interior of the Accent better). I have seen the '07 Accent SE but not driven it. It looks like a quality piece. I love the styling and the interior looks like it could be in a much more expensive car. But I also like what I have seen of the Fit and Versa. One major factor is price. I bought my two Elantras because they offered the most car for the money, e.g. $14k out the door for my loaded Elantra GT 5-door with automatic, moonroof, leather, alloys, ABS/traction control etc. About $5000 less than any comparable Japanese car. But I will not pay the same money for a Hyundai as I would for a comparable Honda or Toyota because their resale values are still stronger than for Hyundais. So I need a lower price to compensate for that. However, if it turns out that I like the Accent much more than the Fit or Versa, then I could pay as much because I would be getting a better car. I don't know that yet, as I haven't driven the Accent, Fit, or Versa yet. Sorry for the long response. Hope it helps you.

Replying to: backy (Mar 11, 2006 7:30 am) My first choice was the Accent 2007 because of one thing -front leg room 42.8 inches- I am 6'4" and I need as much room as I can get. But I noticed this people are not offering standard features as they used to and they are expensive for what they offer. I went to see in December the Accent 2006 sedan as soon as it arrived here in NJ, it is nice looking I admit but inside it made me feel I was in a car from the past, no power anything! room I had, but that was all. Mostly every normal thing "optional" I have been waiting since September for all these small efficient cars since, I am retired, had a 2000 Rav4 that I had to get rid of after experincing 4 times what they call Sudden Surges or -Unwanted Acceletration- it was the Electronic Throttle, but they never admited it, eventhough others Toyota have been investigated for the same. Since you never win City Hall, I got rid of it in September, since I have been waiting for these small cars that are being presented like Debutants Girls in society, pityful!. I almost got an Aveo 2006 the other day but I read some bad reviews and I changed my mind, back to waiting. I do not want ay other cars but the above mentioned. Suzuki is coming with the SX4 that I hear is great and sort of an SUV with a decent ground clearence,very good for my height but it would come in September and I can not wait any longer. Thanks again and sorry for this long explanation.

I would encourage you to go test drive a 2006 Kia Rio LX or 2006 Kia Rio5 or a 2006 Kia Spectra EX or Kia Spectra SX. Kia offers the Long Haul Warranty along with Hyundai and I think you would like what you see in the Kia lineup. Their prices are very reasonable, too. For example, you can buy a 2006 Kia Rio LX sedan for only $13,055. Standard equipment includes side airbags and side curtains, too.

| They play games with your money. Bogus window etching $169, document fees $189, and even DMV fees. Also, be sure you watch everything you sign, such as warranty paperwork. (note: they are not associated with Flemington Car & Truck Country.) | |

These are the official pricing for the Honda Fit. See how it compares to the Hyundai Accent. Seems that Hyundai has their pricing and packaging smartly well ahead of the fit. Let the numbers speak: Fit Manual $13,850 Fit Automatic $14,650 Fit Sport Manual $15,170 Fit Sport Automatic $15,970 *Add $550 destination charge *No Rebates Currently Available Sources: Auto deadline Honda Fit Website ----------------------------------- Accent Manual (Base) $12,455 Accent Manual w/Air $13,255 Accent Manual w/Prem sport $13,955 Accent Automatic (Base) $13,305 Accent Automatic w/Air $14,105 Accent Automatic w/Prem Sport $14,805 *Add $540 destination charge Price does not reflect $1,000 Rebate* Source: Hyundai USA Website

Millennium Hyundai, Hempstead: 2006 Accent(new model?)march 19 rebates: $2000 double rebate+ $500 military+ 400 college grad. My Toyota pickup (240,000 miles) was vandalized, so looking for "Best buy" mini. Wow, cant wait for the NY Easter car show to see & compare the new minis. Full support for thighs is crucial. Don't like not seeing nothing after the front windshield. The 2007 Accent GL 3 door seems to be the front runner. Suspect the Yaris wiil be let down by seat cushions with no support. The new Civics emergency brake makes contact with the knee. Owned a Fiat 600, & a bug-eyed Sprite. Cant wait to drive the Fit, Accent, Versa, Yaris. Its a shame that the Aveo has such a limited warranty. Rules it out immediately.

Replying to: ross14 (Mar 22, 2006 7:16 pm)  SE trim looks even more attractive, and possibly sportiest of all other hatchbacks mentioned (Versa, Fit, Yaris) - sport-tuned, 16" wheels, light weight (lighest I believe, around 2,300 lbs). |

Replying to: delta4 (Mar 21, 2006 6:22 am) As for packaging, I think the packaging on the Fit is smarter than the Accent's. The Fit's "magic seats" are amazing in their versatility. Rear legroom is about the same even though the Fit is shorter. Interior materials quality is about the same. The Accent has a few advantages, such as a more adjustable driver's seat (no height adjuster on the Fit) and niceties like rear center armrest and lighted vanity mirrors.
