Good Value For Money, Must for those looking for Entry Level Sedan

 

Accent Executive BSIII PETROL (Just before the launch of BSIV)

Purchased in Mid-May, 2010.

Driven 13491kms.

Fuel Economy 9.3kmpl (with AC On)

Faced problem with Fog on the windscreen during Light Rain, and at nights, it was difficult to drive.

 

Exterior Looks good and quite stylish from outside, Tail Lamps are crystal clear and enhances overall car looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quite Spacious, 3 people can easily sit at rear. Boot Space is also good. But Lacks space in glove box. Bottle space on front doors should be bigger. Leather Gear knob and steering with overall Beige Interior gives a superb feeling inside the car. Seats are comfortable. Instrument Cluster on Dashboard is outdated.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is responsive at both Low and High RPM. Low Fuel Economy, I was expecting atleast 14kmpl, i have clocked 13000km and still getting 9.3 kmpl (AC On). May be I'll get enough mileage after switching off the AC). Gear Shift is normally smooth, but sometimes it looses its smoothness. The same problem with Steering. But overall, gear shifting is smooth, fast and easy...

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is awesome, with the price tag its carrying, the car is must for those who have budget of around 5 to 6 lacs. Ride is smooth with comfortable seating position. Steering is smooth, responsive, stable without any abnormal vibrations.

 

Final Words I don't regret buying this car. I've clocked 13491 kms in 7 months and Its superb. If you have budget for 6 lacs, go for this.

 

Areas of improvement Dashboard, Instrument Cluster, Automatic Antenna, Electrically retractable ORVMs, Power ORVMs, "Auto" feature in Power Window, Variant with Alloy Wheels, More Space in Glove Box. Vipers should be more effective. More Powerful Headlamp. 2-Din Good Looking Music System like i20.
