Replying to: jrtny04 (Jun 11, 2006 11:23 am) Yesterday I drove a Yaris sedan that had automatic, a basic CD audio system, A/C, and that's it. No power package. No alloys--certainly not 16-inchers. No remote locking. No ABS with EBD. No side airbags and curtains. No leather cover on the steering wheel and shift knob. No tach. No heated mirrors or lighted vanity mirrors. No 8-way adjustable driver's seat. No sport-tuned suspension and steering. Price: $14,100. Or consider a base Fit for $14,400. It has ABS, side bags/curtains, and power package, but has 14" steel wheels, a lesser audio system, no seat height adjuster or dead pedal, no armrest for the driver, and lacks many of the other features of the Accent SE including the longer Hyundai warranty. "Cost effective?" I don't think these cars are more cost effective than the Accent SE. |

well lets say you purchased your fully equiped hyundai and you got some decent mileage out of it and a few years later you decided you wanted to trade it in for a new edition, what are you going to get for it? a fraction of what you would get for a comparably equiped toyota or honda, that is something to consider when you plan on purchasing a cost effective auto

10 year warranty would be a big plus if the warranty lasted 10 years. considering most new cars run into the 200k mile range, what makes hyundais 100k so remarkable?

Replying to: backy (Jun 12, 2006 3:04 pm) But more importantly, good luck driving that Accent in 10 years. See many 1996 Accents around? Neither do I.

Replying to: jrtny04 (Jun 14, 2006 2:02 pm) But of course, our pal Backy will come to the rescue of Hyundai and deny any problems with his car. All those ppl on Elantraxd.com and other Hyundai boards are all overreacting. The Hyundai is the best value afterall, right? |

Replying to: germancarfan1 (Jun 14, 2006 6:28 pm) And I just saw a 1995 or 1996 Accent the other day--looked quite good, at least on the outside. The reason I appreciate the 10 year/100k powertrain warranty is that I typically put less than 10k miles on my car per year, and as I said I plan to keep my next new car in the family for at least 10 years. Doesn't fit everyone's profile, but fits my needs very well. I also like the fact that it covers what is probably the most complex component in the car--the automatic transmission--and one that is very expensive to repair if it fails. Of course it covers the engine too, but engine failures are pretty rare these days if they aren't abused. P.S. I have not had problems getting warranty work done on my two Elantras, FWIW. But that has nothing to do with the 2006 Accent, does it? P.P.S. I am glad you agree that Hyundais are the best value.

You have contributed nothing to these discussions. I work closely with dealership personnel, and Backy is right...with right care and proper maintenance, most cars last quite longer than you'd think, including Hyundais and Accents. Of course, no car is perfect, so some cars do brake down (but they apply to all makes). Don't let your perception and everything you read fool you Check out the real story yourself...
