910km is simply amazing! I bet no one can beat you on this.

I have tried the inside hybrid but seems that the power is lower than the civic hybrid...

Overall tech the inside is batter but power wise is still civic batter.
If not mistaken the civic can run on pure battery for 0kmh - 40kmh after that petrol engine kick in ...

But for the inside when move petrol engine already start to run the battery engine is just assisting the petrol engine event when the eco mode is on …

Come to Global Amity

Auto lock can be done just around RM80-120...

So RM1300 is what your supplier quoted you?

bro, are u referring to the autolock for your car doors when u start crusing?
will this void the warranty if the installation is done outside?

bros, on the maintenance cost, why the cost shoot up to RM454 for 20k km and RM1k for 40k km?

Anyone can enlighten me on this?

Also, any shop recommendation if I wanna do 3M tint?

Thanks in advance

Does anyone know where to get the honda insight mugen bodykit? thanks.

just did my 5000km servicing just now. There are not many workshops able to service hybrid cars, who else can we trust if not our own Honda workshops? we have no choice. Anyway , at 5000km, they only change the oil filters

I never tested the civic hybrid so cant comment on the power.

But Insight also run on pure battery only. At speed up to 60kmh on flat road. Can see the indicator showing only battery feeding the power. The i-vtec running on close mode. When the engine kicks in, can feel slight kick, felt like normal auto shifting gear.

I've tested civic hybrid before..insight better in braking ...

You can refer to the link below:
Honda Insight MUGEN bodykit

However, the price quoted is expensive. I am still waiting for someone in this forum that can provide a cheaper alternative.

if not mistaken, 20k has a air filter change
40k has a fuel filter change
and not included in the schedule is a recommended air cond service every 25k

Added on April 11, 2011, 1:44 pmwell, in some market the insight comes with a maintenance advisor system in the car, which lets you know when it is due for servicing

While people discussing about power, you re already talked about braking and how good it is. You re one good citizen.

Added on April 11, 2011, 2:44 pmNot necessary have to switch ECON on. But the pure battery mode seems extended when the econ on. try out and see.

Added on April 11, 2011, 2:52 pmHave to. At least for the time being.

I'm quite amaze on how some westeners confident level toward Japanese make. Some of them just maintain the car themselves and kept everything recorded in case something major gone wrong. They did mention that this car servicing and maintenance item is just the same like any other normal cars.

Some of them even bought the service manual and take things on their own hands. Not to mention how they scan the IMA system and modified the software to boost the power and/or increase mileage (they called it MIMA which obviously means modified IMA)
