DON'T Buy a Kio Rio or Hyundai Accent 2012-2017 before watching this

We bought a 2012 Accent in 2014 with less than 10k on the odo. Aside from several oil changes and a slightly noisy front wheel bushing and steering column when hitting potholes or badly made humps, I'd say it's a damn good and reliable car. Maybe it's the driver. edit: Mileage is good. Power is also good. I was always skeptical with non-Japanese makes, but I am very pleased with it.

Same! I have a 2012 Hyundai accent that was bought in 14. It’s currently at 165k miles. Up until now it’s been good car. Just oil changes and had to replace alternator. Now facing an issue that the mechanic hasn’t figured out yet. It hesitates when speeding up.

[@Effedup]

I bought a 2013 Kia Rio in 2014 with 15k miles on it and it has been great, daily driving it ever since and never once had a breakdown, not even a dead battery. I get the oil changed with full synthetic every 5k miles and replace wear items as needed but there has never been a major mechanical issue with it. It's now got 105k and still starts right up whenever I turn the key. My only real complaint with the car is that the ECO mode turns it into a freaking slug, but I sacrifice the gas mileage and keep that turned off, and with it off it's plenty zippy enough unless your car is full of stuff. People always crap all over Kia but mine has done very well by me.

[@Effedup]

@@JonBennett-tc2iu The eco mode adjusts the shifting profile and acceleration takes a nose dive. It's fine if you're cruising at highway speeds because you're not often changing speed much, but in the city with a lot of traffic lights and stuff it drags the car way down. Because I always drive in the city I just never turned it on. I barely noticed a difference in mileage tbh, but my gas mileage was always crap because I drive in stop and go urban traffic every single day, lots and lots of trips within a 10 mile radius.

Brake rotors warp, especially if you ride the brakes coming down the mountain and overheat them. They're cheap and it's an easy job to replace them. I show you $50,000 Lexus with cloudy headlight lenses. Replacing the PCV valve is a 10 minute job.

The PCV valve typically isn’t the culprit for burning oil. I’m not bashing the car, I’m educating others so they know what to look out for. If you buy the car, keep an eye on the oil so you don’t blow the engine. It’s that Simple.

Thank you for mentioning at the end of the video that if the engine is burning oil it will eventually clog up the catalytic converter.

My hyundai accent 2017 it's working very good.

[@robbbarnett4978]

Basic maint. On all cars. As I mentioned before use OEM parts especially oil filters. One thing that will make a big difference for those of you that are able to is use a bottle of AT-205 reseller on rubber housings and basically all rubber components in suspension. You want to put this resealer in a spray bottle and spray on these rubber parts like the cv boots. It will recondition them and make them last a lot longer. It works! The main reason for CV axles to prematurely wear and break down is the axle boots Crack and allow grease to escape and dirt to get in them. This resealer is for reconditioning all seals in other areas of engine and transmission, but also works super great on exposed rubber.

[@robbbarnett4978]

Use midgrade gasoline, synthetic oil and always use an OEM oil filter on these cars, it's detrimental. The oil filters are especially engineered to retain oil when starting them up providing immediate oil before circulating. This will keep your engine from wearing down because most of these engines have a weaker oil pump. Doing these few things will help your car last much longer with less issues.

[@darrenstienbarger52]

Yes they're cheap cars but you forgot to mention they're cheap and easy to work on if you even have even little bit of mechanic skills. Unlike the high-end models where you have to take it to a specialty shop. The accent is basically a newer version of the late '80s early 90s Ford festiva

Don't forget the GDI engine where the back of the intake valves will build up carbon since direct injection and eventually may need cleaned when airflow is restricted too much. But then again, most GDI engines have this issue. The MPI engines are best of both. They are direct injection but when engine running idel, they squirt fuel into ports (port injection), to clean to top of the valves off.

I have a 2015 Kia Rio and it burns oil. Like ever 2 weeks I have to add a 1/2 quart of oil. And at every oil change I use CRC valve and throttle body cleaner. Kia claimes this is normal. These engines are Direct Gas Injection (DGI). The gas is injected directly into the cylinder instead of behind the valves like older model cars, meaning the valves get caked up with deposits very fast. Another thing is that these cars do ping alot when they get more miles to the motor. After I use the CRC cleaner it goes away, at least for a little while. I sometimes use it in between oil changes. I did an experiment a month or so ago and after I used the CRC and then filled up my tank with premium gas and didn't ping once. Then I filled it up with 87 octane and the pinging came back. I wanted to have some fun with Martin Kia in Bowling Green Kentucky to see what their diagnosis was with the reason for the oil consumption and the pinging. Well they told me they would have to take out the engine and completely disassemble it to find out the problem!...I told the guy he was more full of s**t then a Christmas turkey.

My gf has had 16 accent for a few years now and it’s one of the worst vehicles I’ve ever been around. Always having issues and always having to top off the oil

[@AutoMotivate]

Gotta keep that oil topped off

[@mattylokan]

Got a 2012 Hyundai accent been driving it ever since and have only blown the clutch so far but that's from doing stupid shit like hills runs at speeds it shouldn't be able to do but the 2012 accent is an all round great car for me good fuel economy and great power for how small it is

[@bryantmatthews93]

I have a 2010 lx can't beat that gas mileage

[@mp4338]

GDI tehnology to day is good and bad. The good all driver know but the bad don't know. W/GDI the intake gallery and valves in short time are carbonized, smoked, black greased, etc. The engine performances go down and the job to clean-up are very expensive. I advice you that at each 10 kkm to try to decarbonized all. Like this job you will save the engine and money. See a lot of info on the You Tube.

I own 2012 Hyundai accent gl hatchback. Got it 95 km I put 105k on it. Now 200k on it. I drove never had any major issues. Regular oil change, ball joint, control arm etc. One of the best reliable car and good on gas. Hands down best economical car. Your title misleading. People should buy this car.. No doubt

[@AutoMotivate]

I break down the most common issues, which I personally ran into. This owner didn’t even know it was burning oil. It is a great car, but that does not mean you should go into a purchase blind.

What i dont like about kia rio is that after 30km odo kadalasan ang dami ng sira sa mga parts ng kotse like ours.. yung hyundai din di masyadong matibay.. matibay pa rin tlga ang toyota at lalong lalo na ang suzuki at honda cars ang tibay.. pansin niyo wala masyadong 2nd hand cars na suzuki at honda na binibenta, kadalasan kia at hyundai? Aside sa toyota kasi maraming toyota sa Pinas.. kasi di masyado matibay ang kia at hyundai pag mataas na ang ODO 30km and above..

[@orsike192]

whhy are you forwarding us to the best budget fridge video when you say you will tell us how to check the oil. catfishing much?

[@AutoMotivate]

I ended up removing the video because I was not happy with it. That’s just my most recent upload.

[@principe1216]

Según tu que eres experto o de las das de experto, que vehículo sugieres para comprarlo y cuánto te pagan para la marca que recomiendes.

[@dans4342]

My 2013 Kia Rio has 309000 km on it. Still going..

[@boteroncho0605]

WTF is this guy talking about. These cars are super reliable and if you keep a good maintenance they'll last forever

[@AutoMotivate]

Out of the two I’ve encountered personally, they both burned oil. Look it up. Not all do, but some do.

[@cwbusrides]

So generally how reliable are Korean cars

[@AutoMotivate]

Generally, most of these cars are cheap economy cars. The minority of folks who buy these cars probably don’t take care of them as they should. The examples that have been well maintained are actually reliable. For an example, I’ve seen plenty older Kias and Hyundai’s from the early 2000s driving around is pretty good condition. With that said, they can’t take a beating like the Japanese variants car. If you run low in oil, or redline the car routinely, then you’ll shorten the life. A Japanese car, in general, can easily take the torture for longer. That’s my take/view. There has been a few dubs, though. Like the smoking Elantra(I believe that the car) that blows engines.

[@SSCamaro902]

Not very

[@TheCockyPerry]

more than US cars for sure..

[@johncorrao2588]

Better for cleaning headlights, spray Cutter insect repellent spray on the headlights, wait 2 minutes, wipe clean and good as new. Did this on my S10 and worked great.

[@062082shane]

I got a 21 accent

[@062082shane]

I read a lot of people say its very reliable which it seems to be but then I wonder why I don’t see many accents

[@gavin_hill]

Bro, fill up that Oil 🤣🤣🤣

[@AutoMotivate]

I added as much oil as I had in hand for them.

[@grayheet]
