QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Feb 21 2011, 02:17 AM) Nope unfortunately, for brake auto lock that one need aftermarket mods... Stock auto lock and unlock system only supports those mode I stated above.. i don't really think that the prius is stripped down You guys can check out manual when your car arrived... Inside there they teach step by step how to program... Cause I dun liked the auto unlock mode for my Civic, therefore I program to off it. For me Auto Lock is good no matter in which mode, but auto unlock is somehow dangerous. But most people will program to Speed Lock, and Ignition Off Auto Unlock. Added on February 21, 2011, 2:20 am Generally, Insight 1.3 vs Prius 1.8... Alternately, Insight is fully CBU unit while Prius stripped down much more Moreover, the price difference between 2 models Insight sub 100K at RM98K, Prius around 130K+... And, maybe do you really need a 1.8 for hybrid? Finally... Test drive and get impressed yourself. it still comes with 7 airbags, just like in other markets compared to the 2 in insight the 15 inch rims are the standard alloys for prius, while the 16 inch is an optional upgrade if budget allows, prius is a pretty good choice actually Added on February 21, 2011, 10:01 am QUOTE(gogo2 @ Feb 21 2011, 12:26 AM) Auto cruise can save more petrol automatically. So getting rid of auto cruise to me is like if on flat road then it saveslosing another way of auto save petrol. I only buy car with auto cruise. No auto cruise will get lower mark from me. Hehe but if the road starts to climb, it is a different story drove a civic on the NS highway, once reach the slopy part (which is quite common), then it's time to open the i-VTEC!!! Added on February 21, 2011, 10:04 am QUOTE(gogo2 @ Feb 21 2011, 08:10 AM) HONDA claim: this makes me wonder, if we are on a downhill slope, do we need to brake the car to keep it below 48km/h to keep the engine off?Maybe I can set it to 48 km/h (equivalent to 30 mph) and then hopefully it'll use electric motor more.  Or is the computer smart enough to detect that the engine load is very low and can still be shut off even if the speed exceed 48km/h? This post has been edited by electron: Feb 21 2011, 10:04 AM |

QUOTE(psyeo @ Feb 21 2011, 08:26 AM) 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. sorry bro, the cruise control will rev alot especially at hilly areas to maintain the speed not consumption, but it is good to have on flat roads such as highways. |

Sorry my bad, was referring to Active Cruise Control by BMW whereby it will adjust the speed based on the vehicle in front or surrounding (e.g. when it comes to a conner). From what I have read, by turning on the ECO-assist on Insight, the cruise control will not rev as much and will not strictly trying keep to the cruising speed set in order to be more fuel efficient (much more or less like how human will react when it comes to hilly area and with fuel efficiency in mind).
