   Dear Kapil,
   Thanks for posting ur views. I waited for re-launch of accent thru executive version. u r right in a sense that accent has lived its life. However if u see nearest competitors- ikon, indigo xl, swift dzire etcs, ikon also have lived its life, indigo xl & dzire are newly launched. Ikon & Accent are supposedly complete cars in this segment. others are bit costly.
   How is ur overall experience in Mileage, ride comfort& quality, finishing of interiors, new features added.

   Hi Vikas,
   
   I agree with your views, but Indigo and Dezire are not as powerful as Accent is.
   
   My car is delivering the average of approx. 10 after first service, ride comfort has been fair and as far as interiors are concerned, they deserve a change now. wood grain consol gives the kind of feel as if something has been artificially installed inside.
   
   I would suggest the newer versions i.e., either Verna/SX4, despite the fact that they are a bit costly, HYUNDAI Service is simply best.

   There is no transparency at the authorised service centres. Most of them fleece the hyundai car owners. Check their bills and invoices. They charge for de-carbonisation, which is not necessary for modern cars.Hyundai company must check such malpractices.

   I bought Accent executive last week and its quite good. Value for money car. Only issue is fuel efficiency. 10kmpl in city.

   Hi Anil,
   
   suggest you to get the car serviced as per user manual, let service center may realize you are not interested in gimmicks.
   
   Dear Nishanth,
   
   I have felt that the car is pretty fuel efficient at 12 kmpl, have you observed unnecessary rattling in the car, I have at times, that's disturbing, also you would realize that the platic nearing the steering is not upto the mark, how is the same with your nw Executive

   i am driving 7 year old car with 58k km . it is cng.if you change air filter at every 5k this car delivers good fuel economy and power. power steering is smooth .the best thing about this car is its AC which is great for delhi summers.maintenance is at par with maruti 800.do not go authorised dealers.private road side mechanics do a good job and you get chineese spare parts at dirt cheap prices.by the way verna is new accent.verna is sold in north america as accent.very few trips to garage

   yes, mr. ajit as u compare it for drive comfort and handling u must choose accent but if u r much concerned about fuel economy then ur choice of swift in diesel version will be best.

   Dear Ajit,
   
   also would recommend if the fuel economy is not an issue, try out Verna petrol xi as well,
   
   accent is no doubt a good car, but having bought one in June this year GLE model, atleast I stick by m y initial opinion.

    Hi Kamal,
    
    I have been a customer of Hyundai for the past 3.5 years now, first with Santro and now with Accent, before that I also had a Maruti with me, trust me when it comes to deliverance of sale/service, Hyundai has never let me down, I can't say anything about Maruti nowadays.
    
    Swift Dezire I would say is not as powerful as Accent is, am satisfied to a great extent with Santro and Accent.

    Hi Satish,
    
    before buying this car in the month of June this year, I had written to Hyundai confirming their future plans regarding the phasing out of this car, this do not have any. and second, you must have realized they want a petrol sedan to compete with new Dezire and other contemprories, since Verna Petrol does not economize the running of the car, Hyundai is larly dependent on Accent petrol else they would have phazed it out long back, so no worry right now for phazing of this car.

    For all those want to buy the new accent executive. This is an amazing car. The ride is very smooth. The suspension is awesome. The car just sails over the potholes. The handling, the driving comfort is good. The tilt steering is very useful. I love its look(both interor and exterior). The interiors look much more luxurious (for a car of 5.5 L). The only negative factor is the fuel efficiency(as told by experts here). I have not had a chance to test the FE as my car is too new to comment.

    I have bought Accent Hyundai on 1st Oct, 2008 and find the car a true value for money and a leader in this price band. All the features of a sedan is available and drive is very comfortable. I am yet to test the car on a long drive. Will be doing it shortly and post the findings.

    Dear,
    
    Hyundai has been present in India for more than a decade and the presence of them have never really been a burden on Auto Industry, since you have already booked the car, we welcome you to so called "Accent family", trust me you would never be let down by the company atleast.

    so far, Accent Exec clearly appears as a good candidate. am 90% inclined on her, but am also looking at Fabia 1.2 classic which i can get at 15K extra (on top of 5.5L). not sure about FE of Fabia, showroom says its 12, which happens to be same as Accent Exec.
    Anyone else did similar comparison?which one to go?

    Fabia would have high cost of maintenance, if you are looking from the short term perspective, Fabia would be good, but not from the long term, as the cost of spares and service is high at Skoda

    Hi,
    This is 1st time i'm buying a car. I thought of Accent executive as I prefer Sedan (not decided) and its also cost effective. But if I have compare between Accent and Fiat Palio Sport version, which one per your opinion is best, also why not consider Swift? Swift I know provides some extra features but Accent compromised on the safety feature with no air bags. Please suggest.
