Awesome car!
Only thing I dont like is the ashtray (I dont smoke). You cant use the area for anything else. It should have been made into a cup h
older or something.

My wife has an '06 in Ice Blue.  She adores the car.  I almost bought another one last week as well. 
Nice car.  Enjoy it.

  Hello I am new to this forum too.  2 weeks ago I got a apple green Accent also.  The only options I got
was auto trans and AC-radio option.  I took the rims off of my Honda del sol (16 inch) and put them on the new car.  I had the rims powder coated white (their a universal rim style).  I am looking at some window tint and just put on the factory "mud flaps".  I was looking at cars when the truck delivering new cars showed up and had this apple green on on it.  I just had to have it.  I checked, honda rims fit on the accent but the center ring needs to be bigger, as it is in the universal rims.  I have had it only 2 weeks and am enjoying it greatly.  This wouldn't let me up load a picture, too large.  Enjoy it.  Clint Smith               aka Clintmeister

What is the AEM SRI?  I was looking on AEM's website and couldn't find anything for Accents.  I would love to have something from AEM on my car, they make great products!

AEM's idea of an SRI is just a cone filter that attaches to the MAF and a small bracket.  It's a total waste of money.  In my opinion, everything AEM makes is junk.

basically the sri from his explanation seems to me like as every day common language would be a cold air intake without the metal tubing between the throttle body and the cone i recently put an apc air intake on my 03 accent and i have seen an increase in power and smoother shifting (manual trans)

glad to see another '08 Accent!! I just bought mine a week ago today and I think it's great! although driving on the highway it sounds like it needs a 6th gear!

That was something I always didnt like about the Accents. They have a nice little close ratio gearbox but the 5th gear is either too close or we just need a 6th gear. Think about it, how many cars have you driven in that cruise 65 MPH at 3K rpm?

yer point taken... I am used to driving a Chevy Caprice Classic.... i swear you could get that thing up to 65, take yer foot off the gas and it would idle in 5th gear and still keep speed... i just saw the focus SVT with a 6 speed... maybe hyundai could revamp the tranny and broaden the gears a bit, i know first gear is so short, like a granny gear in a big box truck... but nonetheless, i am happy with the car i bought, i plan on driving it till the wheels fall off!
