a prius goes for 130k while a LEXUS 200h goes for 168k....why not add a bit more and u get the Premium Brand from Lexus

Prius is bigger and save more petrol, do check at youtube got comparisons between those two, although prius is 1.8 the bhp not far higher, and driving dynamic goes to insight..

actually, if on hilly roads, auto cruise is bad for fuel consumption

will there be an insight owner club?
if yes, i want to join it...

...Still got people think that computer are more clever than human.....

flat road, ok la...but if hilly road, it will rev quite alot to maintain speed

That's why I like stupid computer, you ask it to run 90km/h, it will maintain there only..... The speed drop a bit, the computer will put more petrol in.
BTW, how many true flat roads in Malaysia?

I'm trying to hide my laziness in stepping the throttle by giving excuse that it save petrol

That's lame....

HONDA claim:


Maybe I can set it to 48 km/h (equivalent to 30 mph) and then hopefully it'll use electric motor more.

48km/h..... No wonder Honda dare to boast can get 50km/l.....
Driving such speed in single lane trunk roads, it is generating more carbon as every car cannot overtake it. So, is Insight is a green car? Yes, if no other cars in the road. If got others car in the road, Insight is worst than a lorry that never serviced after 10 years and using pre Euro 2 standard fuel.
Overall, Insight is not an enviroment friendly car, it is a enviroment harmful car and conveying bad attitudes to other road users.

Added on February 21, 2011, 8:17 am48km/h is petrol engine off wor. if 80km/h, it'll use both electric and petrol engine.

So if you say that Insight is not environment friendly just based on that statement, I believe you're just trolling here to bash
Honda Insight. If like that, you're not welcome here. This thread is for fans and owner.

BTW, mining of metals cost more harm to enviroment.... Go green on vehicle but cause more damage to enviroment.....
Are human prepared to go green?

Yeah, why don't you quote Prius vs BMW test by Top Gear? Why not show your stupidity even further?

You have to see whole package and see how green is Hybrid car before you start to talk cock here.

@kyheng would really appreciate it if u stick to your Inspira Thread. You're way off topic, read the Thread title please. You're also welcome to create a hybrid bashing thread to voice your opinion.

IMO generally, computer can be smarter than you and me. FYI Some newer cruise control technology (not insight) are capable of adjusting the cruising speed to various incline inorder to get the best fuel consumption.
