So fast u can get ur car? When did u book and what colour?

I booked mine on 12 Dec last year and my SA kept telling me AP issue, allocation issue and colour issue. Seem like he going to drag time. Sigh!

Any way I can check allocation number with Honda HQ?

Tested the Honda Insight at Glenmarie, manage to have a short test drive only because the car yet registered -.-"

Below are my thought of the car.

The things I like;

1. The engine is surprisingly quiet an when I turn the ignition, I hardly hear the noise.
2. The sound proof is not bad, feel just like the current Honda City.
3. Love the instrument meter, a bit futuristic feel.
4. Can feel the high torque although in low RPM.
5. The seat shape is quite comfortable.
6. Nice 16" rim and sporty look.
7. It has "Geek" look which I like. tongue.gif

The things I found annoyed

1. Low headroom on the rear. I'm 6 foots 1" I couldn't sit behind, I may snap my head if go over bump.
2. The kick start resume from engine stop while on traffic is very obvious.
3. If you place ur gear to P, the engine stop wouldn't works.
4. Difficulty to see behind if car fully loaded with passengers at the back.

I was thought all Honda Hybrid's car can only assemble in Honda's Suzuka, Japan. The only plant that can handle Hybrid car's part.

I have checked the manual. It seems like we cannot program it to have auto door lock feature. It is only available for certain markets.

Why said no central lock? There is a 2-sided button at driver side window controller panel there... Just like Civic and Accord those... Press up will lock all doors, press down will unlock. And I believe it is the same system and can be programmed.

To program Speed Auto Lock aka Cruise Lock (Will auto lock all doors when speed reached 16KM/H on meter)

1) Make sure gear lever in P.
2) Turn the ignition to ON (II), and make sure to close the driver's door.
3) Press the brake pedal, and move the gear lever out of P position.
4) Press and hold the central lock button (Up) for 5-6 seconds... You will hear another "click" sound that confirm program is done.
5) Release the central lock button, and within 5 seconds turn the ignition switch back to ACCESSRORY (I) position, and move the gear lever back to P position.
6) Turn the ignition back to LOCK (0).
7) You may now test your auto lock mode on your next journey.
To program Ignition Unlock Mode (All doors unlock when you turn off engine)

1) Make sure the gear lever is in P position.
2) Turn the ignition to ON (II) position, and make sure to close the driver's door.
3) Press the brake pedal and move the gear lever out of P position.
4) Press and hold the central lock button (Down) for 5-6 seconds... You will hear another "click" sound to confirm.
5) Release the button, within 5 seconds turn the ignition back to ACCESSORY (I), and move the gear lever back to P position.
6) Turn ignition back to LOCK (0)
7) You may now test your auto unlock by turning ignition to ON(II), press the central lock button to lock all doors, then turn the ignition back to ACCESSORY (I), all doors should unlock whenever you turn ignition back to ACCESSORY (I).

Bro Kapultek, you may try to confirm whether they still using the same system.

And tentatively only left bro Kapultek and Ryan Soo haven't choose their mat and side color.

Great information Zero. Need some help from the owner to test it out whether works or not on Insight.
