I bought an accent 2013 6 speed manual 2 month ago & the car is very economic on the fuel. Its acceleration its fast too 0-60 in 6-7 seconds. It revs up at 7 RPM, its lightweight & good looking too. I wanted a focus 2012 at first but, this little thing is really something.
I have a Hyundai Veloster with this engine, in its stock form it is wanting after modding its a beast. Surprise the 2012-2013 1.8 throttle body is a direct bolt on and will enlarge the throttle from 57 to 60mm. Added a cold air intake, Megan 2.5" exhaust and the car hauls ass. the 11.1 compression, GDI and vartable intake are great.
My first accent in the early 90's was all I could afford...The A/C sucked and the car would shake anytime you got up to around 75, BUT the damn thing made good gas mileage and it never ever broke down on me...I put 175,000 miles on that car....I finally traded it in for yet another Accent (2002 I think) and it was much better than the first one, and agian I put 150,000 miles on that one, before my wife decided to accidently total it....I think it had at least another 50,000+ miles left on her....Of course, my car now is a 2016 Hyundai Accent and its a damn good car...has good AC, great gas mileage and it's damn reliable and it looks pretty good too. It's certainly not a sportscar, but it is a really good car to go to work every day or make cross country trips in, and more often than not, as long as you take good care of them, they should last a long time.
Bro they are totally right I bought my first Veloster bass model 2012 with 0miles and I have 108k miles on it never gave up on me always started it's loves oil and gas and tires only this car save my life and expenses
@@spitsharm out of interest have you? Hyundai in general have seem to have gotten around the issue on their GDIs, and these 1.6s in particular are pretty problem free... There is a 2012 1.6 GDI Accent on the Hyundai forum with 540,000 miles and the engine itself has seen nothing but oil and filter changes and no carbon issues!
@@19jacobob93 I don't have Hyundai brand car, bur i've been considering a velsoter. I needed to know before buying. Do you think they might've mod the car with a catch can?
I just bought a 2020 Kona with a GDI turbo... should I be stressing about carbon buildup and idling the turbo for 30 seconds before shutting off or starting up the car. I looked in the manual and it said noting about idling the turbo.. only use TOP TIER gas.. also I know that the oil is 5W-30 but what type of grade? Synthetic bend, Synthetic, full Synthetic. Thank you so much in advanced :D
When I had my 2013 Kia Soul 1.6L Gamma I did Full synthetic it’s only like $37 and changed every 4.5K miles best thing to do.if you gonna keep it for a long while..Use top tier gas!! I had some rev up when gas pedal was pushed and no go on lower grade gas.I never did the full fuel system cleaning as at 55K miles I traded it in on a 2015 Chevy Equinox now finding out they big issues on the 2.4L Chevy Eco-Tec on 2G###### VIN(Canada) lucky mines 1G######## (USA-Tenn) it’s still gonna be traded ASAP.
@@metalmark062 funny you messaged me now man, I traded in the kona last month for the 22 Tuscon, 2.5L and 8-speed trans.. I luckily found one that was made in Korea K##### Vin, ALOT were made in Alabama. My buddy has a 17 Trax and his wife and equinox, I don’t think they have much trouble.
Havent noticed any performance issues in the 5 years I've had the car. Do the same journey to work every weekday. Mpg ans acceleration seem the same as the day I picked up the car.Now up to 110k.....
I have this engine and I understand it's a high compression engine 11:1 so my question is should I be using premium fuel the 91 octane. I understand high compression engines need premium so it detonates accurately, and I know my manual says it can use gas 87 and higher, so should I be using 91, will I see any benefits
To clarify, if the car had the 11:1 compression and it was port injected it would need higher octane fuel, but since it's direct injected the low octane fuel gets to the optimal location in the cylinder and won't predetonate
My 2015 hyundai Veloster took a shit at 123,000miles and at this very moment we are rebuilding the engine i want to see its true potential when its at 0 miles so i cant maintain it
Learn to drive manual transmission or don’t buy a car at all, honestly automatic transmissions are heavy, waste horsepower, and require expensive maintainance and break down much faster then a stick shift
@@TheUchihasparky not generally true as I have both... The 6sp autos mated to these are incredibly small and light, and are also extremely reliable and require no maintenance other than a fluid change every 100k miles. There's a 2012 1.6 GDI Accent on the Hyundai forum with 540,000 miles on its original engine and transmission, and both have only ever had fluid and filter changes. In that time a manual transmission would have gone through multiple clutch replacements. The fuel efficiency difference is there though but it's minimal given the great ratios on these 6sp
@@19jacobob93 no, you clearly don't understand how transmissions function. Automatic transmissions use planetary gear sets attached to a torque converter and both those things require lots of heavy transmission fluid running through them. A manual transmission uses basic gears with a clutch to connect to the engine, overall the weight difference is about 100 pounds which is a lot and manuals don't need fluid changes often and they are dirt cheap compared to auto fluid changes. Also you say you have to replace the clutch several times to get to 500,000 miles is just dumb thing to say considering clutch wear is entirely dependant on how well a driver can drive a manual. My 2012 hyundai accent has 225,000 miles and still using original clutch so learn about stuff before you claim to be an expert, dumbass
Who cares about naturally aspirated engines anymore? Many companies have realized that adding a forced air induction has practically all benefits. Eco-boost engines from fords have turbos now and they will be the standard of fords. Audi/VW make clean diesel with turbos in them because they can produce the HP without the consequence of MPG (pre-boost). They are fractions of the cost of hybrids, just by adding a $200 part. If you can reduce the total displacement to increase the fuel economy... why not do it? You get a better DispV:HP. I understand companies can still build a nice naturally aspirated engine, and can worry about one less mechanical part. But you cannot reason that the result of this performance is because it has no turbo. The comparison is equivalent to making an engine with a carburetor and old parts, it will only be a local maximum in its genre of engines. Why limit yourself? Also all engines are made atmospheric, the turbo just increases the compression pressure in the cylinder. Even naturally aspirated engines combust higher than 101.32kPa.
Adrián Tomé Alonso I completely agree with you, It comes down to what the customer wants and what their priorities are, fuel, accessories, performance, cargo space...etc. Either way as an engineer, I'm glad that all engine types are becoming more efficient and generally less costly. I've enjoyed this conversation. Many people over the internet like to be on the attack. Thanks for this dialogue.
+Ben Chu I hope you know that the reason they put turbos is to increase torque not horsepower on the diesel motor dumbshit. pick up a ducking book and do some research about diesels next time before you spread false information
This engine is designed for fuel economy so I'm not sure what your point was haha there is literally a 200+ HP turbo version of this engine if that satisfies your fetishism.
My 2015 Veloster has this engine. 89k and the rod bearings went out but luckily it's a recall so hopefully I get new engine for free. Very weak motor, about 110 hp with drivetrain loss, and torque is a about 115lbs. Will run about 110 mph on wide open throttle. Sooooo many issues from this engine. Would never buy another Hyundai with this motor or a car with something similar.
I have a veloster thats done 100,000 miles and haven't seen any issues....fuel efficiency and performance is as it was when I got the car 5 years ago....
Grant Tully but have you ever done cleaning you intake valves on routine maintenance service?! Cause thats impossible to NOT clean the intake valves for this long & car run smooth! Carbon build up is seems to be a big issue on this engines.
Carbon build up has never been a problem for these engines... It was mainly VW and BMWs direct injection engines that had it but Hyundai for the most of it seemed to do well in avoiding it. There is a 2012 accent on the Hyundai forum with this engine, and it has 510,000 MILES on the original engine and transmission and the intake has never been cleaned. It also only affects mostly city driven cars using shit fuel
WTF!!! Hyundai is claiming 138 HP out of this 1.6 L. I just bought a honda fit and it's 1.5 L is putting out 117. Thats like 10 HP per Litre less than hyundai?? WTF honda!! I do have faith that the honda engine is still better in the end, but still...
Just do u understand why, this engine has much higher compression ratio in cylinder of engine so it gets better fuel economy and horsepower, your Honda uses port injection and Hyundai uses direct injection, that's why your Honda is worse, direct fuel injection technology = higher compression ratio = more efficient

only problem iv had with mine is low horse power. but a new intake and fuel system can early fix that.

Nope only direct injection

Also if you do intake cleaning yourself and buy a viewfinder for looking in the engine and just do more upkeep. The car runs fine.

I understand high compression engines need premium so it detonates accurately, and I know my manual says it can use gas 87 and higher, so should I be using 91, will I see any benefits
87 octane works perfectly fine in this engine, because it's GDI u don't need higher octane
To clarify, if the car had the 11:1 compression and it was port injected it would need higher octane fuel, but since it's direct injected the low octane fuel gets to the optimal location in the cylinder and won't predetonate
