Hyundai Accent 2007 1.4 DOHC Accelaration Test (Unplanned)

A little test from 20 to 100 Km/h at a traffic light (not totaly stoped), driving my Accent. Not planned at all...I just turned on the cam and recorded it. Not bad to be an economic car ;)
Location: Panama City, Panama.

I thought the 2007 was a 1.6? Mine is.

@gears2boomshield Yes, it has 2 gas engine options and 1 diesel engine option. For US Market it is only 1.6. For other markets they have a 1.4 and 1.6 gasoline engine. For Europe they also have the 1.5 Diesel. I wanted the 1.6, but the dealer stopped selling that one here when I went to buy it. There are just few 2007 Hyundai Accent with 1.6 engine in my country. The 1.4 is OK for that car, but I know the 1.6 matches way better with the car performance.

not too bad for an economic car? its like when my cousin had a minimum wage part time job, when he got his paycheck said, "not bad for a p/t job" i mean, he just got paid the lowest it can legally be, how can that be good???

YES, IT'S NOT BAD FOR AN ECONOMIC CAR. what are you expecting from a 1.4 engine, no turbo, but with way better output than many other engine with similar displacement? Dude, set you expectations right, this is not a V6, nor a 3.0 in line 4 cyl engine. At least it has an output proportional to the displacement, not like many American cars, with a huge displacement an poor output, i.e Ford Mustang 2010: V8 engine with a barely 305 HP, That SUCKS!! Other cars make the same with smaller engines.

I thought about getting one... but my truck was TOO OLD for Cash for Clunkers... Seriously? TOO OLD to be a Clunker?

[wtrdogg20]

what year and brand?

[g4ebguy]

@wtrdogg20 i know its been a year but, let me remind you of the great powerful 200hp 5.0L mustang of the 90's LOL, my 93 scoupe turbo with half the horsepower kept up bumper to bumper... was sad.... a 1.5L @ 5 psi 7.5:1 compression.

i have an 81 Dodge Ram, but i kinda want to keep it now... after driving my friends car and seeing how many people pull out in front of me or cut me off versus no one with the balls to pull out in front of my truck lol

Also, my truck has a sort of personality... and i like the almost go-kart like feel to it (that's one big go-kart!) of course its not that fast of a truck but its enough for me

[wtrdogg20]

Yes, the 1.4 in the i30 is not Alpha II 1.4, I think it is a Gamma II 1.4, with a different intake generating 110HP, it is like the 1.6 in the Accent (Alpha II 1.6 112HP) and the 1.6 in the i30 (Gamma II 1.6 122HP). I am planning to get a small supercharger or a turbo to get the car in more or less 130HP, it is good enough for that small car.

So, more or less, it's 11 seconds - how does it look like in a manulat? I am curiuos cuz I have i30 with the same 1.4 engine, which produces 110HP, in manual it says it accelerates 0-100km/h in 11,6 seconds, but I think it is possible to have better time with 110HP. I heard many od dohc/vvti/vtec/etc engines can achieve better road-results than they have in manuals
