have been driving Accent 1.6 CVVT for the past 2 years… this is our 7th car…after 6 Japs product – proton knight 1.3, proton saga megavalve 1.3, proton persona (UK spec) 1.6, kancil 850, kenari 1.0, nissan serena 2.0

recorded max speed (mine)..maybe others did go faster… no upgrade on the engines:

proton knight (manual): 140 km/h
proton megavalve (manual): 145 km/h
persona 1.6 (UK spec) manual: 185 km/h
kancil (manual): 140 km/h
kenari (manual): 160 km/h
serena 2.0 (auto): 165 km/h
accent 1.6 cvvt (auto): done 190km/h – driving down to Melaka… think thats the limit as it can’t go faster at full throttle..

our comment on Accent: heard many pros & con about this car, but we found it different when we own one – 100% satisfied!

one thing for sure we hv never calculated the FC … our principle – to enjoy driving… just pump the petrol & drive!

happy driving!

It is only giving you FC of 12.16 km/litre. The reason of poor FC shall be your speed
that causing it. My first 100% highway experiment using Hyundai Accent is during Chinese New Year eve – From Butterworth to Ayer Keroh (473 km – consumed 29.5 liter using RON95 Petronas Petrol which gives about 16 km/liter ( slightly better than US web side figures of 36mpg (100% highway) = 15.33 km/litre. The average speed range I am using is about 100km/hrs to 120km/hrs. The car is stable at 150km/hr, but just momentarily attempt with this speed, the temptation on higher speed for this car is very high. City driving fluctuating between 11 to 12.5 Km/litre.

This car is stable.. does not have any problem..

My family poses three cars:

Kancil Auto 660, 14 years old car, which gives Fuel consumption of 15 to 16.5 KM /liter.
Driving the car to work 100km distance daily, heavy traffic at Penang Bayan Lepas Industrial Zone.

Toyota Unser, 8 years old, which gives a wide range of Fuel Consumption, the best so far has been achieved by this car is :
12.5KM/liter, driving at 90 KM/hour (85 to 95 KM/h), speed never exceed 100Km/hour for 560 km journey from Penang to Pagoh,100 % highway.
But the car sucks lots of Petrol and it gives only 6 to 7km/liter when it was drive in Taman, or place where there are lots of jucntion and stopping where the car is using first and second gear only.

A newly bought Hyundai Accent 1.6.
For the first 1000 KM, not much can be commented here, but it gives me a shock when it deliver 5 km/liter only (Use in Taman Zone), but it gives me around 12.5km/liter. Kampong road where the speed is around 40 to 70 km/hour range and numerous number of stop and drive, base on some publish data found in US WEB Side on fuel consumption, this car is possible to delivered 15 to 17 km/liter range if it was drive on 100% highway where I had not try out yet. ( A driver must keep his speed at 90km/hour +/- 5)

I am using the Chart find in those WEB and it gives speed versus fuel consumption chart which tell us the optimum fuel FC of combustion engine. Most of the chart tells, the current design of combustion engine is tune to achieve best FC at 90km/hour. Any number below this and above this will affect the fuel consumption,

I am using Unser to test it out (Chart FC versus Speed) from Penang to Johor, and it looks true, it gives me 12.5km/liter, and I do not need to refill my fuel tank from Penang To Pagoh Johor where Previous, when I drove at the speed of 100 km to 125km/hour range, Unser only give me fc of about 9.5 to 10.5km/liter.

In another US transport department publish article, extra weight of 100Kg will contribute 3 % more fuel for a car.

If I take this number and made some comparison on FC between Toyota Unser and Hyundai Accent 1.6CVVT. It will give me this number:
Unser is heavier than Accent by about 400Kg, so accent shall be 12% fuel efficient compare to Unser. Logically, Accent shall gives = 12.5km/l *1.12 = 14 km/liter.

Gear Ratio Gain (Both are Auto):
Unser : Fourth Gear ratio 1:1.01
Accent: Fourth Gear Ratio 1: 0.69

There is a gain in distance for Accent with overdrive ratio higher than Unser which gives a factor of 1.46. I am not using this number but the publish final gear ratio
which is:
Unser : 3.73
Accent CVVT 1.6 : 4.619
Ratio : 1.23 gain.

Take the previous Gain obtain from body weight which gives 14km/liter, multiply this number again by 1,23 will give 17.22 km/liter (shall be at 90km/hour speed)

This is purely calculation factor used, The publish official distance at China WEB side for Hyundai verna (NAme as Accent in Malaysia) is about 16.6km/liter. Which is very closed.

The search is purely wanted to understand the words usually used by some expert, ”
The driving style and the condition. The analysis here shall explain, if we drive too slowly ( the car did not go to overdrive gear )or too fast, the FC will definitely affected and it will varies from time to time. If we purchase a car, we shall look at the body weight too if you are fuel consumption consciuos type of personal.

Toyota Prius combustion engine performance is the same like the combustion engine we ordinary people driving, the so call fuel safe is the car is battery powered at low speed, 0 to 60 km and this speed range is killig the combustion engine performance.

Buying a combustion engine :
1) fc is a factor but the product quality is equally important.

So if Toyota or Honda is charging us with a higher car value because people say it has delivered higher fc, we shall considered twice!!! I think persona will delivered close fc performance, but Persona overall car quality ( other than engine) may not satisfactory.

CVVT, is it really good for FC? It depends on how you judge as? Or is it a saling strategy used by car manufacturer? I believed it helps on slow speed driver only and may not be useful for expert car driver (technical).

My waja 1.6(m) 2005 also not value now…so sad.. only 25k when i trade in at proton…I think hyundai better than proton..

im really hate for the person that compare this car with proton..
are u noob???

I agree with you dude….i reli dont understand those ppl y used SAGA to compare with Hyundai Accent 1.6 the latest version…i felt DAMN funny on to that!!28 k car compare with 70k car? there must be a difference between them rite? As i know many ppl tell me that Malaysia reli like Milo tin…..do u all agree? more over the new latest version 1.6 is 5 star crash rating….be realistic…if reli wan to compare if both saga and Hyundai crash ….which person in the car most risky? So far i ride the Hyundai 1.6 for 2 yrs i think the condition of the car is still good. In term of oil consumption is saved!!

are u noob???

dun compare with saga.. u compare with persona.. sure more better n better accenct 2008.. dun say high maintenance or fuel or too high price..

mostly person by this car…

maintenance n fuel not as a problem.. small issue.. they look for safety ,comfortable, quality component n engines, rank star for crashed..

for the person not enough money.. sure take protorn la.. more saver… maintenance low.. can drive for 10 year… it ok.. all ok.. but when sudden happen to u.. got another car speed to fast, or trailer, bus mabuk person..

u drive carefully.. but they hit u… how come?? are u alive???

think n think bro…

compare with vios,nissan sentra or others import car… it more better..

all good quality… high rates star… comfortable,engine ,design will win to attract people..

this attibute[ save money, cheaper , or low maintenance...] go to protorn or perodua..

And the best part… since Sime Darby took over Hyundai from Kah Bintang, the price for this Accent went up RM75k.

Does this mean Hyundai cars getting expensive due to its newly recognised quality? Anyone agree?

if u have got one car, be one with ur car, u should know better the handling of ur own car… just like the clutch or accelaration….

blame not the car, blame the driver instead if they cannot handle their own car… blame not the food, blame the cook…

I'm planning to get one new accent despite hearing all the negative comment.. have u ever tried one or it's just simply of what u heard? or it's just a conclusion u depicted specifically from any special cases?

taking into consideration of ur own ability to afford one, or to fulfill ur own desire to at least have a try before u die….. taking a vios or city is indeed a good choice, but wat about $$$…. It's nearly rm10-15k more, which will take u quite a time to raise up such an amount…

so if u think of an economy-wise car, take a cheaper car…. iff u can afford a better car, then go for it.. one life, live it, u can't keep ur money with u somehow when u died… even if u tried to save ur money on cheaper car, once u met an accident, u might as well dead… wateve car u r driving, once u died (in an accident perhaps), make ur desire being satisfied ur own way…

to die in kancil, to die in bmw, make ur choice…

sometimes we still need an option.. even you had an airbag.. it doesnt mean you no need seatbelt. Right? You had 4 disk brake .. you still need ABS EBD right? Now what about.. a good equipped safety features car with 12 airbags, pretension seatbelt , but handling is worst!!! cornering at 100kmh had no grip.. bla bla bla.. Imagine.. you driving kenari at 100kmh.. wet road (after rain)..

Okay, Chevvy optra is a good handling car.. after tuned by lotus (a subsidiary company of proton?).. It’s one car that i almost play in NFS .. hehe

This accent.. doent had any WOW!!! factor at all..

May I tell you all something?

Proton had good handling.. so.. good handling = hard to accident.
Not good handling = easy to accident..

==hmm…….so far i hv seen gen2 head on crash with kancil. and merc e-class and smart fortwo crash. i also wanted to know savvy and viva head on crash. maybe u should try it, rite? to my perception i guess both drivers die anyway, as u said “at high speed.. Viva airbag is USELESS!” then i guess without airbag even WORST! am i right? anyway during at highspeed crash, whatever car can’t save us unless u r driving a tank. hahahaha.
i really don’t know what perception is that having said that none of the korean car is good handling. chevy optra basically is an korean car but it is also tuned by Lotus. unless u r saying that lotus is not good enough, then so what is persona handling? if u wanted to comment have to be more constructive…..pity. anyway, i prefered RWD or AWD cars.
