This accent is an outdated model with 1.5 SOHC engine. The new replacement are sold as Hyundai Verna in Singapore with 1.4 and 1.6 engine DOHC engine.

hey Rafiq, u make me jeolous la.. so can Accent (FF) really drift?? I hav a GLS version. It definately feels yummy to have 350BHP under the hoot . Feel free to share with us in this forum http://www.myaccentclub.com

Opps, btw, HYUNDAI ACCENT ROCKS..

Those ppl who keep on bashing on Hyundai cars, don't think that Accent owners like us had never tested on Proton cars before. Maybe you guys have never tested on Accent before but only ur Proton cars.

I have personally test-driven the Hyundai Accent b4, so those Korean Car bashers can BACK OFF!!!

That day I drove my old el cheapo 1994 carburetor 1.5 Wira auto to the Kah Bintang showroom to test-drive the Accent. The moment I sit inside I was like, "Better than ANY Protong car!" No cheap-looking plasticky dashboard here!

The handling is superb and when cornering at moderate speeds, the bodyroll is minimal. The greatest of all is when I purposely drive over a few potholes and under-brake when passing a road hump. The result? I hardly feel anything!

Hats off to Hyundai. Plus, the Kah Bintang saleperson (Jacky) is so helpful and courteous even on the day when I told him that my mum has finally decided on the MYVI, which I am STILL waiting for today, after 6 months!!!

From what we see is Proton cars' quality 20 years no changes… but other cars are keep enhancing. So, I will go for New Hyundai Accent!

Drive it and feel the difference on the Road…..

Oh and one other thing, I wasn't even aware that we still had Protons in the UK until I visited http://www.proton.co.uk – I've never seen any of them!!!

And enough of the Korean car bashing.

Ok, this is the ugliest Accent of the lot. Just to clear up any confusion, this is what I'd call the mk3, and just to refresh your memories, here are links to mk1 and mk2 (copy and paste them seeing as I dunno if HTML will work and can't be bothered to write it out if it doesn't): mk1 CoupÃ© (presume this one's an American 'cause of all the added orange bits) - http://www.autoguideniagara.com/tic-tac-towing/ca... mk1 (mine!) - http://myspace-775.vo.llnwd.net/00328/57/78/32846... mk2 - http://www.autogazeta.com/g/371/Accent.jpg mk2 WRC model (TASTY!) - http://www.ottawahyundai.com/oh04/news/images/aut... Ok, I don't know where you guys are from but have you seen these before or am I just being patronizing here?! It doesn't take a genius to see that the latest Accent is UGLY and the 2006 model, although featuring curves (not seen since the mk1!) just looks... wrong! The SR however - MAKE IT!!!!! Just my two cents.

d accent well…d design may not b all that great but d RX-S version looks better. If u wanna choose between waja,gen-2 n accent well i say d accent will b d rite choice coz d pakkage that u get wit dis car suprises u 4 d price they r offering wen check it out at dealers . d built quality,ride n handling, NVH is as good as japanese cars or better which r on our road currently in M'sia….The transmission is smooth… no lag. Do u 1 2 suffer wit proton cars n spending all your money till u get sick n tired of fixing d problems d cars throws at u tat is actually not rocket science?? i dun think so…

FYI, I have saw the new sport edition RXS in show room recently, look nicer and not expensive. My friend brought the standard version last year and found the condition extremely good. The maintanance and parts are cheaper than Proton cars. The passenger seats also better than toyota VIOS.

Hyundai accent design for me is so-so with current Wira. Maybe their interior is better. But I like the Optima, looks cooler than PV6.

hey guys..

try not to be prejudis on Korean cars… their tech is catching up. at least faster & doing better than potong. those who r condamning korean cars badly…face ur ignorance…

Drive an accent and compare it with wira waja & gen2… feels the difference in quality… then u comment. :> at least no cheappy looking PVC stuff inside, ok.

the design is old 90s from european market for sure.. but with its quality, for RM60k in malaysia, what better car u can get? gen2? if u want a leaking roof. waja? suit urself. toyota & honda? get urself another 30k before thinking about it.

Sonata looks ugly? no way man… the old sonata we have in malaysia looks ugly.. the new one that is in foreign market looks grand!!

world is changing… but some people's mind remain & continue to rott…

eMalaysian, fyi it is in your dream that Proton can ever improve be it in 20 years from now. As long as the sucker adviser is still alive, he will make sure all Malaysian drive a Proton EXCEPT for his sons.daughthers, grandsons, granddauthers, cronies and UMNO counterparts can drive Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Ferrari, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry etc.

If we all M'sian don't buy Proton, what will happen to "his cronies" who supply the parts, doing sales etc. Thay why he get so mad when his Apprentice got kicked out recently. Maybe the guy has protected all his cronies since he became the Chief Extra Ordinary (CEO) for the last few years.

Its just that all the Accent I see on the road looks yuck. Ok lah. Don't buy wira. Buy gen2 lah. Both look better than accent anyway.

see fat,

I think proton will improve wira's old tech and platform. They buy VW platform mah. Then got gen2 engine already. Put them 2 together lah, and then get new wira with lotus tuning some more woh.
