| 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: 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.

After following this Blog on the 06 Accent since late last Summer (05) an eagerly awaiting the Fall release of the 06 Accent which debuted very uneventfully late Dec. 05 with one or two vehicles per dealer, I finally pulled the trigger an bought an 06 Hyundia, but NOT an Accent. Drove an Accent and after drove an 06 Sonata with I4. Both had similiar safety equiptment and automatic transmission. The GLS Sonata had a power sun roof unavailable on the Accent and a much larger and more powerful 2.4 liter I4 engine vs the 1.6 I4 in the Accent. Highway m.p.g. was listed at 36 for the Accent and 33 m.p.g. for the Sonata. The difference in comfort, acceleration, handling, was well worth the 3 m.p.g. hit along with the total luxury experience the Sonata afforded. The Sonata ran just under $17,000. plus tax, title, tags which included all available rebates with exception of no loyalty, recent college grad, or active military. The Accent would have cost just $2500. less with NO power sunroof. I know one does`nt buy a vehicle on a price per pound basis like cheese or cold cuts BUT, you get soooo much more car for so little more, to me its a no brainer. Only had it a week so far, but its a great car. Check the Sonata out before deciding on that cute little Flintstone car.

Replying to: backy (Mar 23, 2006 6:50 am) I'm puzzled by this comment. In this segment where profits are squeezed, a few hundreds dollars here and there adds up. Also considering that Hyundai now has a $1k rebate on Accent, positions the Accent as the value leader overall. If Honda intends to offer a matching rebate to counter Hyundai's Accent then the Honda Fit will definitely come out ahead in terms overall pricing/packaging. There is no doubt that Accent wins the price/value contest based on the numbers.

Replying to: delta4 (Mar 24, 2006 5:38 pm) As for value, that is not just measured by list prices. For example, what if Fits are snapped up off dealer lots at full MSRP as fast as they can be delivered while discounted/rebated Accents sit? What does that say about the public's perception of value? I still don't understand your comment about the Accent being well ahead of the Fit in packaging.
