Test Drive Hyundai Accent Hatchback since 2011 Hatchback

Put accents

Clear statistics approve: Owners of domestic models are gradually transplanted on imported cars. A typical example of the host of front-wheelwater vases, looking for a car of the same class, but more expensive. Frequently, the first foreign car is chosen from such a couple: DEU-Nexia or Hyunda-accent
LONG TIME NO SEE?
Both brands Korean, but Nexia is now assembled in Uzbekistan, focus in Taganrog. The body is welded and painted well, in the cabin does not rattle, the emergency light bulbs on dashboards during the test did not light up. These are these little things so lacking domestic models.
Machines belong to different generations, which is visible to the naked eye. The emphasis does not look like a charming, but the appearance confirms the modern car in front of us. Nexia is hard to hide age, and many turn away from the old woman for this reason.
Bumpers, painted in the color of the body, now come from even inexpensive cars aesthetically, is not suiced and impractical. Uzbeks, however, paste rubber moldings on plastic chippers to protect the body with minor contacts. The accent of the saving strips does not have owners worth avoiding parking by sound.
Designers did not break their heads over the instrument panel of the accent: it is pretty banal and unspoken. On the other hand, no worse than many inexpensive cars. Buttons recalculate on the fingers of the rear window heating, fog lights, accidents, electric circuit breaker. However, the DAU instrument panel is also not overloaded. It is unusual to control the intermittent mode of wipers pauses are regulated by flywheel on a torpedo, and not on a submissive lever.
Daewoo can boast a large glove compartment and a comfortable ashtray. By the way, in Hyunda, access to it is overlapped by the advanced cup holders to smoke a cigarette under the coffee. This fact should puzzle. Plastic in the accent nobleness, and the doors slam in a foreign one, without a stray.
Many nonsense at the factory are equipped with regular radio tape recorders. Melomanany will surely find oval in sound. Most fully arranges the quality of musical accompaniment. Accents offer with audio preparation (four columns and antenna), and players for cassettes or CDs sets a dealer for a fee.
Sitting in the accent is conveniently using only two adjustments, you quickly find the correct position of a good chair. Large drivers will delight long adjustment in the longitudinal direction. The chubby steering wheel can be adjusted in height. Eh, it would be a good truth, Nexia seems even more closely closely located (there is no adjustment, and the rim is thin), or because of the hanging visor above the instrument shield. In addition, in the Taganrog car you can adjust the position of the belt so that he does not prescribe on the neck. In Dae, I could not do this, although the slot in the central rack hinted that the strap should ride down and up.
And how do passengers feel in the second row? In the emphasis is clearly rampant, the couple in the measure of the fastened people will go comfortably. Nexia's response is a luggage compartment that makes easily the opponent's belt. True, for weightlifting, perhaps, more convenient than Hyunde, the opening is larger and the loading height below. You can fold the back of the rear seat, quickly turning the car into the cargo-passenger.
We will go, do we not seem?
Only first set the mirrors. On nonxies, they are without heating and electric drive even in expensive equipment. The emphasis makes an additional plus for large mirrors during rebuildings do not need to turn your head.
After the tight handler of Nexia, they doubt whether the accent did not have a cable so easily manipulated the parking brake. However, and the steering wheel on DEU, despite the amplifier, twist is harder.
Much forgive the accent for the character of a one-liter engine with a slightly over a hundred horses. The engine confidently pulls after a thousand revolutions and does not sharpen almost to the limiter. He does not sleep at all to aggressive ride, but willingly respond to the host team quickly accelerate. On his background, nexian aggregate with the same number of valves and cubes seems sluggish. At first he is slowly spinning and only after three thousand revolutions begins to revive. It is a pity that there are enough acumen for a while. Lovers of measured ride is better to stop the choice on non-eight-glovenage units: this more confidently rides from low revolutions, and they are asked for money for him.
Both engines are far from quiet. But at Nexia, the voice is coarsely and annoying, the voicing song of the accent on medium and high revolutions is becoming less. The tires are made in the soundtrack in sound accompaniment: the tires are applied: Nexia shod in Continental, the focus of localization suggested Kama.
On the road, Hyunde is more interesting to Daewoo reacts to teams with the steering wheel, less carnating in turns. In addition, the accent is a comfortable suspension: it is softer smoothes irregularities. Weak place of both brake cars. They can not boast neither tensile nor informativeness. For certificate, accents in improved equipment are equipped with an anti-lock system.
HOW DO YOU THINK?
Hyunda focus on our test in an expensive configuration M / T3, and the most affordable Taganrog car (M / T1) stands in the most stuffed nonxime. But we compare the equipment of the expensive nonxicacy and cheap accent in the arsenal of both sixteen-particle motors, steering amplifiers, air conditioners. Uzbekka is richer by four electric windows, central locking and radio. What do you think these inexpensive options are more important than modern appearance and interior, a smart motor, transformed luggage compartment?
On the other hand, the price of the car is only an initial fee. It is no less important how much the car will pull out from the owner along the way of living together. And then the emphasis loses service and spare parts on average and a half (sometimes two) times more expensive than Nexia.
The low price is still one of the main trumps of Nexia. These cars in simple equipment are as much as the model from the VAZ-2110 family, and they are not more expensive to serve them. But as soon as Dae in an attempt to argue with more modern models, it starts to turn around the options, its value is growing, and the attractiveness falls. Our test is confirmed. However, we only put accents decide what to prefer.
