Please my auto gurus in the house, i want u to educate me as well advice me on the one to buy between kia rio and hyundai assent. Is this car strong engin-wise, i heard someone said when the car runs up to 100,000k mile the engin should be changed for effeciency. Then i ask some cars can run up to 200,000k miles yet they are sound in engin. Is the fuel economy of this car more than some cars like, VW, toyota,nissan, apart from the above stated car, i plane to buy , what car do u advice me to buy considering this regime of high price in fuel. Note that i do not care much about luxury and sophistication, rather best fuel economy car. Thank as ur advice ke coming.

more or less the same car. The 2006 (Accent) (2008 Rio)- 2010 models of both cars had more or less the same engine. If u r buyin brand new of both models, i think u shld just look at both & pick d one that appeals to u more aesthetically in terms of the interior & exterior. The new 2012 Rio to me is actually very sexy sha & looks more ''manly'' than the also sexy Accent

*funny enuf, some people tend to have more positive reviews of the hyundai accent sha*


Oh, as u & many other people may have strongly suspected, Hyundai & Kia are subsidiaries of the same parent company , Hyundai Motors, with headquarters in South korea, which xplains y many parts...engine, wheel covers e.t.c. r very very similiar even down right to their keyless entry remotes.lol

Both cars come with a 1.4 or 1.6 litre engine, so subsidy or no subsidy, fuel economy isnt a problem if ur engine is sound, serviced & maintained properly. The cars r good, if u dont stress them too much. If u dont do much driving on terrible roads, then both cars r OK i bliv. Regular servicing & maintenance is key to enjoying ANY car. But dude, if u drive on rough roads regularly, then i'll suggest u go for something that can withstand dt sort of stress better. A gud idea of ur budget will aid recommendations.

both cars are identical though not from same brand name. I'll say go for 06 Accent from experience

HYUNDAI ACCENT!!!!!!
