For those who've been waiting, I stopped by my local Hyundai dealership last night (6/29), and they had an Accent hatchback in the lobby. The salesman told me that all Hyundai dealers received *1* 3-door Accent, probably just as a teaser, rather than to seriously to sell. I didn't notice options and such, but *with* dealer markup added, the price was $14k. So a lower price should be easy to negotiate. It looked good, too, although not in any ground-breaking way. |

Was the one you saw an SE or a GS? My local dealership has been getting GS 3 doors fairly regularly (2-5 every week and they sell within days of being there from what I can tell) for about 2-3 weeks now and has been slling them at between 11-13K depending on options but they haven't gotten an SE yet.

Replying to: vermonter16 (Jul 16, 2006 6:54 am) Online / Your local dealership The SE is differentiated from the regular Accent sedan (obviously), as well as the base 3 door in a few areas. Aside from sport tunning, and upgraded suspensions (to near Tiburon level), the most noticeable area you would find perhaps maybe the larger wheels (largest in the class) - 16" to be exact. |

Working on my grandsons 2000 Hyundia Accent-The altinator fuse continues to blow-Removed altinator ,had it checked out -checked fine but will not show a charge going back to the Battery post. The plugin for the altinator fuse completely burened out to the postive side of the battery. Have the two wires connected to a fuse fuse tail clip sufficing for the damage box in the main fuse assembly. Worked fine when driven yesterday for serval miles. Trid to start this morn. Fuse blown over night.Was going to take it too my Mechanic but want kick in starter. Tried jumping but to no avail. Need help ASAP. Harold Gammons(Bozie) PS-The Alternator does not show a charge coming back to the battery when it is running.That's Why trip to my mechanic is necessary.

My opinion on the pros and cons of these two cars: Yaris H/B Pros: * Low starting price - includes A/C * Excellent fuel economy * Smooth ride for a small car * Excellent predicted reliability based on Toyota's history and specifically the history of its predecessor, the ECHO * Better predicted resale value than the Accent (see below) Yaris H/B Cons: * Side airbags/curtains and ABS are optional and are in limited supply * Features that are common standard features in this class such as rear window defroster, 60/40 rear seat, height-adjustable driver's seat, and tachometer are either optional or not available * Less passenger room than most competitors * Less cargo room (especially with back seat up) than most competitors * No side moldings to ward off dings (aftermarket?) * No cruise control or sunroof available as factory options (aftermarket?) * Center-mounted speedo is too small to be read easily at a glance * Crash test scores not very good, based on NHTSA scores for Yaris 4-door w/o side bags (4/4/3/3) Accent H/B Pros: * Low starting price (GS) - includes six airbags, 8-way driver's seat, 60/40 rear seat, 8-way driver's seat with armrest, tach, sport steering, variable intermittent wipers, and rear spoiler. * Standard side airbags/curtains and (in SE) standard ABS with EBD. * Good standard feature content in GS (except A/C) and SE (GS features per above plus A/C, power windows/locks/heated mirrors, remote locking with alarm, 6-speaker CD stereo, 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS, sport suspension, 16" alloys with V-rated tires, leather wheel/shift knob, fog lamps, and dual lighted vanity mirrors) * Largest interior in its class (EPA rated as a compact) * Most powerful engine in its class * Clear gauges, mounted in front of driver * Very quiet for its class * Smooth ride for a small car * Factory sunroof is available * Very good crash test scores for this class except rear side, based on NHTSA scores for Accent 4-door with standard side airbags/curtains (5/5/4/3) Accent H/B Cons: * Fuel economy does not match competitors like Yaris and Fit * New design, thus no reliability history (previous Accent design was rated a little above average overall by CR from 2000-2004) * Predicted resale value as percentage of MSRP is less than the Yaris'; per ALG, the Accent's is 23% and the Yaris' is 32% (however, note that a comparable Accent costs less than a Yaris, so the dollar depreciation could be very close depending on purchase price) * Tall throws on stick shift (short-throw kit is available as dealer-installed option) * No side moldings to ward off dings (aftermarket?) * No cruise control available as a factory option (aftermarket?) What did I miss? |
