LC AccentJun 2000

LC Accent

This was the first baby Hyundai buyers might choose on merit as well as price.Compared to its popular Excel predecessor, the Accent is more spacious, refined and comfortable, and better built with tangible improvements to ride quality, engine performance and general "feel".The bigger, stronger body means improved safety and a driver's side airbag is standard too.And it’s fun to fling around.On the other hand, the 76kW/133Nm 1.5-litre DOHC 16V four-cylinder engine is too vocal when stretched, the manual gearshift is awful and the steering numb.Hyundai once again blanketed the light car segment with a car somewhat larger than the norm, in three-door base and GS and GL and GLS sedan and five-door hatchback.But several things worked against the Accent replicating the Excel’s success: the Excel’s poor quality reputation the sheer ubiquity of Hyundais on our roads quite ungainly styling and ever improving rivals like the Toyota Echo and Holden’s XC Barina.

ACR30R TaragoJun 2000

ACR30R Tarago

Another clean-sheet redesign, Toyota took the cheaper way out this time by basing the Tarago on the (current) front-drive ACV36 Camry platform.It offered improved performance, economy and emissions from its 115kW/221Nm 2.4-litre twin-cam 16-valve VVTi four-cylinder engine, even though it was mated only to a four-speed automatic gearbox.Three were three well-specified trim levels – GLi, GLX and Ultima – and all featured dual front airbags, power steering, dual air-conditioning, keyless entry, front power windows and a CD player. Anti-lock brakes were optional on the GLi, standard on the others.Accommodation access was improved by dual side sliding doors. Individual ‘captain’s chairs’ reduced the Ultima’s seating capacity by one occupant to seven.A minor facelift and improved specification heralded the series II version from mid-’03.

AE112 Series II CorollaDec 1999

AE112 Series II Corolla

Once the last locally made Corolla left the showrooms, Toyota extended the range of its Japanese-built AE112 series.A very conservatively styled four-door sedan joined the facelifted liftback models. Both featured a new nose cone and revised cabin trim.Toyota also successfully challenged Nissan’s keenly priced Pulsar with the $19,990 Ascent from early 2000, while a sporty Levin liftback model featured anti-lock brakes and a bodykit.All were powered by yet another improved version of the 85kW 7A-FE 1.8-litre engine. In early 2001, 100 Sportivo versions of the Levin liftback were imported, powered by a 115kW turbocharged version of the 1.8-litre engine.All arrived in a metallic gold hue. The AE112 Corolla continued until the all-new, Celica-based ZZE122 series burst onto the market in December 2001.

Search will attempt to find all articles within the system that contain any or all words you are looking for.

You can include words like "and" + "or" for boolean style searching. Some search examples as follows:

  • "Ford v8" - Results will contain the text as it appears in the search "Ford v8".
  • "Ford and v8" - Results will have both "Ford" and "v8" within its contents but may not be sequential as per previous example.
  • "Ford or Holden and v8" - Results found will contain "v8" and also contain either "Ford" or "Holden".

You may also use wildcards represented by an asterisks. For example:

  • "Turbo*" - will find all documents that contain words like "Turbocharged", "Turbo-Diesel".
  • "Ford and v*" - Results will have both "Ford" and any word that has "V", so you may find documents about Volvo that mention Ford.
