I have so many friends having Accent and I used to drive their vehicles and now I bought one for me. I bought my black beauty 2 weeks back, did just 500 Kms while writing this review, I would recommend anyone planning to buy a car inside 6 lakhs to go for Accent GLE 2008.
Its really a superb car in its segment ofcourse you can think of Honda, but it costed more than the budget I had also I have not had any experience with Honda too. I got everything I was looking in Hyndai Accent GLE, Style, Comfort, Handling, A/C, Power steering, Power Window, Individual Suspensions, Keyless Entry, Good radial tyres, good wheel caps. what more do you need from a powerful machine that gives you 94 bhp of whopping power. .
I am thinking of putting the rear spoiler to add more to its looks.
Then comes the most important part we all will be looking for, the mielage of the car, to be honese I still got to confirm it and to what I received is like 10 - 11 Kms / litre in City ride(heavy traffic - mostly in the first and second gear, couldn move to third gear too) and I did a trip of 200 Kms and I got around 14 - 15 Km/ litre with the Air conditioners ON. I cannot call it a highway mileage as it was so crowded and I could not enjoy the ride as I expected due to the heavy traffice, but the areas I got, I drove it good.
I did not exceed the 80 Kms as the car is stil to be taken for the first service, though the deler mentioned that 120 Km / hour is fine, I didnt want to take a chance . will get you all a more detailed review later on . for now am really happy with my car, though the fuel cost is increasing. we cant help it .
I am having the Ebony Black color, its a bit difficult to maintain the exterior as its catcing all the dust and dirt, still thinking of how to keep it clean, black looks really good, but hard to keep it clean. I am thinking of Teflon coating, that might help I guess.
The car is a striking deal for the price they are offering now(5 lakhs) . so anyone out there having Accent in mind, do not thik, go get it.
