Good fun to drive car

Hi, my DAD uses a Accent CRDI(Viva). Ever since he brought it (NEW) in 2006, I fell in love with the car. It is a fantastic car. I get a Mileage of 18-20 KM/L on highway(@100-120KMH) and 16-17 KM/L in City. I saw many ppl Commenting on the Bad engine of the car. 1 thing must be remembered here. It all depends on how you Maintain your car. U treat the car well & it would treat U well. Get it serviced regularly & change the timing belt & the Pully periodically. This should keep u away 4m trouble.

My passion to Accent CRDI lead me to buy one for myself. So in Dec2009 I brought an Oct2006 CRDi from a trusted person, for 3.65Lks. The car is well maintained. This car had done 55K Kms. The day I brought the car I sent it for service and got the timing belt and Pulley replaced. It costed me 7K for the service.  (Here I have to mention that the Hyundai service centre Mechanic asked me not to replace the timing belt as the car had done only 55K and was serviced regularly at the showroom; however I did not want to take a chance and asked him to replace it. When he removed the timing belt he found that 3 of the threads were cut and it would have given a problem if the vehicle was run for another 1k); so always trust your senses and not the Mechanics.

It had been 8 months since I brought the car and I had already done 10K Kms. Not a single complaint from the car. It is as good as brand new. My home town is Vizag in AP and I work in B’lore. I always prefer to drive to my home town in this car (abt 1000Kms). I had done 4 trips already on this car and never got bored of doing this.

To get the optimum fuel efficiency (with A/C) from this car maintain the below speed limit
80 – 95KMH       - 21.5KML
100 – 120KMH    - 18-19KML
120 – 140KMH    - 16-17KML

It is always fun to drive this car on highways. Overtaking is smooth and easy. I must truly say that I’m a happy owner for two Hyundai Accent CRDi cars.

Good fuel economy, powerful engine, ride qualityRare seat legroom
