2012 Hyundai Accent First Drive

We're living the plot of five different movies as we drive the Vegas Strip, but not a soul steals a glance at our Electrolyte Green 2012 Hyundai Accent SE Hatchback. Probably couldn't get anyone to notice a Gatorade-hued Phantom, either, as all eyes are fixed on the fountains at the Bellagio.

Outside of this overwrought utopia, though, the redesigned 2012 Accent commands a second look. It's the latest humdrum Hyundai commuter car to be recast as the hero car of its segment. Its class-leading horsepower (138) and fuel economy (30 city/40 highway mpg) have grabbed the headlines, but the transformation runs deeper than the numbers.

The 2012 Hyundai Accent has become a real car. It's not a cheerless subcompact for the worker bee who can't afford anything better. Rather, this five-door hatchback, along with its sedan companion, is the kind of car that inspires said bee to get out and see the country when he's not working.

More Power, More MPG We're feeling inspired as soon as we floor the throttle on the I-515 freeway on our way out of Vegas. The 2012 Hyundai Accent's new, all-aluminum 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine is as smooth and free-revving as we remember from our first ride in the Veloster .

By far the most sophisticated engine ever offered in a small Hyundai, this 1.6-liter features direct injection and variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust side. Hyundai has raised compression to 11.0:1 (versus 10:1 on the old iron-block 1.6-liter engine in last year's Accent), and the results look really good on paper: The 2012 Accent is rated at 138 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 123 pound-feet of torque at 4,850 rpm.

Although the upcoming Chevrolet Sonic will top that torque figure, right now nobody else even comes close. The Ford Fiesta is closest with 120 hp and 112 lb-ft of torque, while the Honda Fit is good for 117 hp and 106 lb-ft. The Mazda 2 has just 100 hp and 98 lb-ft at its disposal. The 2011 Accent was down there in the trenches with 110 hp and 106 lb-ft.

The 2012 Hyundai Accent's torque advantage is obvious merging into traffic. We just don't have to try very hard in our SE hatchback, which has a six-speed automatic driving its front wheels (quite an upgrade from the four-speed auto on the 2010 model). A manual transmission with six forward gears is also available, and our colleague James Riswick reports that it's unexpectedly precise through the gates. Normally, we'll push you to get a manual gearbox if you're shopping subcompacts, but this automatic is smooth with upshifts and quick enough with downshifts that you're not missing much. Hyundai expects 80 percent of Accent buyers to get the automatic.

Install Android USB drivers windows 7 64/32-bit | Luis F. Majano

I am now happy doing some cool Android development and doing it on the MAC is amazingly simple, just connect the device to the USB port and enable USB debugging by doing the following on your device:

Settings > Applications > Development > Enable USB Debugging

The problem, as with the majority of things, is windows #fail .  To get your Android phone to work on windows 7 so you can debug it and install apps is a pain in the buttocks.  Anyways, after much loosing time and hair, the easiest solution was to use PDANet .  So just download PDANet and follow the instructions, it really solves all the nasty issues in Windows 7 to get the pesky USB drivers to work and as an added bonus, you can use it to tether your phone!

Cheers from Android Land!

I did not get the same luxury of just plugging my device and windows 7 installing it and being able to use it. I have an HTC Aria and once connected it just installed the mass storage device but left the ADB device with a yellow marker. After trying and trying to manually update the driver to the SDK’s usb drivers, the update would not work.

I then tried to do it via PDANet’s driver installation and it worked. Go figure, it might be the HTC phone itself.

I switched from developing on a Mac to Windows 7 64 bit and this solution worked for my Samsung Intercept and HTC Incredible. I first used it to install the HTC driver, but then it wouldn’t recognize Samsung. I let it uninstall the first driver, then I installed for Samsung, and not they both are recognized.
