From my interpretation on the comments in autoworld, majority of the commentor are not Insight owners and their comments are quite blunt with no actual facts.

There are comments that Insight is not for those who want to save money!?
If want to save money, drive DIESEL car. Haha..

Ultimately, check with Insight owner, and ask them the FC and how much it save their money.
My ride FC is approximately 18-20km/l, which I dun think City, Vios, Civic, Altis can deliver. Correct me if Im wrong.

Just did 5k service.
Latest FC calculation as below:

Full Tank RM62 - Ron95 shell
Milleage Range show 790km but actual milleage used is 670km (until 20km remaining).

Econ Mode ON.
50-50 hiway and city drive

which cost approximately RM0.12 per km... which is consider good if you ask me, in view of 90% city drive with consideration of traffic jam and auto idle stop which will consume only petrol.

There was once on my outstation trip, reset my trip km/l, managed to get 22km/l from KL to Ipoh. Only RM0.08 per km. Econ mode On with 110km/h. Play around with Auto Cruise, when down slope, maintain auto cruise and when up hill, will cancel the auto cruise with mild acceleration.

With Insight, RM62 could last for 670km.

You do the math.

very precise summary... it says it all!

By the way, my SA told me in his HC alone, they receive approximately 50 car stolen cases in a month now, particularly Honda City and Civic.
Hope fully honda Insight will not in thief list, since the demand is over supply now.

haha...
I remembered when I test drive, I floor the pedal until the SA told me...be safe be safe! haha
That's why I bought it as in the beginning, I thought 1.3cc is under power.

try to maintain speed in between 50-60km/h for entire drive for full tank.
Your milleage will shoot up to 800km plus per tank. I've tried that for a while but give up as I am getting pissed off from the other drivers behind me who keep flashing light or honk.

Same for Prius, they claimed on 38km/l FC which is achieveable but you must drive under certain conditions.

Found this source on the 19 most fuel efficient car in 2011.
Honda Insight rank number 3!! Prius number 1.

That's a very very good way to stop my colleagues from asking me to fetch them out for lunch as well lol!!
Coz since i got the car, most of my colleagues 1 by 1 asking me to fetch them coz apparently they said wanna sit in my new car!!

Yesterday Range shown 494 after curising 226km. Meaning in total, approx 720km for full tank.

But I speed 130-150km/h this morning all the way to KL and back to PJ. The total range has dropped tremendously. Total range down to 622km. Cruised 322km and remaining 300km.

D@mn, seems like everybody else get more goodies than me.
I am only got 1 umbrealla...that's all.

haha, its ok, i can take it ... as I am waiting for my torchlight now lol

Added on May 30, 2011, 9:57 amI believe the waiting period differ from branch to branch as it depends on each individual waiting list.
I believe the outskirt branch waiting list will be veen shorter.

At the end of the day, it really depends on the reproduction in Japan. Like some bros' advise, if you need it urgently, better opt for different models.

i do have problem with this sometimes.
during auto stop on uphill condition, once I released the brake, the car will roll back for 1sec, make me sweat for nothing. that is why now i will pull hand brake at the same time pressing on the brake. just in case

sorry if this question has been asked b4, in order to install the footlight, do we need to remove the lower part of dashboard during the installation?

As for the side door step garnish, will the Honda centre install/stick for FOC?
I was told that the Honda centre will charge RM80 for labour fee...just to fix the doorstep garnish!
