Replying to: bobw3 (Nov 02, 2006 6:21 am) Does the Accent come in a 4dr hatch version? The hatch version is 2 doors only (and I am waiting to see if they do come out with the 200hp version ) Currently Hyundai doesn't make any 4 door hatchbacks, but very soon you should see an Elantra Hatchback.

Replying to: snakeweasel (Nov 02, 2006 6:27 am) Hyundai does make 4-door hatchbacks--we just don't get them in the U.S. accentuate, thanks for the review. You hit on a few things missing on the Fit, primarily the driving position and seat adjustments, that keep me from putting the Fit at the top of my list. I too would be interested in your test-drive notes, since you own an Accent so you can give us a good comparison with the Fit. Replies to this message: snakeweasel (Nov 02, 2006 8:39 am)

Replying to: backy (Sep 17, 2006 12:14 pm) Was it an older hatch? I think someone else said that it reminded them of a much older civic si. Hyundai seems to have a trend of emulating old honda's. The current sonata looks like they stole the but off of the 02-05 accord, and mixed a litte of the previous generation as well. I guess they are keeping up the trend with the accent.

Replying to: accentuate (Nov 01, 2006 9:07 pm) as far as 'tuners' go, anyone wanting to up the performance on a car would probably take the stereo out, it's just extra weight so that is irrelevant. For an unbiased fit review, you sure did only focus on what features the fit lacked, a definite issue for the fit ofcourse, but i would have liked to see a bit more performance numbers. But i agree about not being able to find a sport to test drive easy at all!

Replying to: thegraduate (Sep 13, 2006 3:36 pm) wow i've been gone for so long i didn't realize how serious everyone was taking me! That's kinda funny! Oh and i'm sure i'm not taking any kind of credibility from honda owners. I think it would take a lot more than a few 'bad mood' posts to do that.

Replying to: eldaino (Nov 02, 2006 8:41 am) There's only so many ways to pen a 3-door hatch. The fact that the taillamps on the Accent hatch are remindful of the Civic hatch from a few years back doesn't mean Hyundai copied an old Civic. Can you imagine the discussion at Hyundai's HQ: "Hey, let's copy the taillamps from an old Civic because people will think the Accent is... an old Civic. Oh. Never mind!" And if Hyundai did intentionally emulate the Accord's rear styling, all I can say is that they certainly improved on it! Replies to this message: snakeweasel (Nov 02, 2006 9:54 am)

again subjective. Why don't they just make up something new and original? Anyway backster, i don't think i ever called you stupid. and when someone says something totally wrong(like saying the fit is a stripper, offers nothing and has no leather wrapped steering wheel) it usally can be counteracted with the proper info. Maybe i didn't HAVE to say that;...but it certainly was not unjustified.

There is ways galore! Tons of different styles in the euro market with brands like clio, puegot and alpha romeo, not to mention volkswagens unending slew of hatchbacks like the golf rabbit gti. Hondas styles have all looked different as well.
