QUOTE(jacek @ May 26 2011, 10:13 AM) 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. I'm using Vios for 6 year and I can ride about 550km with RM70.00per tank... (expressway 80Km/h ~ 90km/h, highway 120km/h ~ 140km/h with 650km one tank). 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. I will update when my Insight arrive. |

Indeed, the insight is kinda rough drive. Two times of services including tyre pressure checking yet it's normal.
I'm comparing this car with vios (same age as insight). Insight appears to be more bumpy obviously. Well, after two services, 6k+ mileage, I'm reaching 30% of the 3rd level leaf. Notnsute if this is a good one. |

QUOTE(Eddieccs78 @ May 26 2011, 11:12 AM) Hi can I check with Insight Black owner...Do you feel hot inside the car when you park under the sun or shaded place? yup i do... even-though i have tinted 8mm. Anyway just open window few minutes when u drive, let the hot air goes out. Compare to other cars, the air-cond has good flow system, it takes short time to cool down the car. |

QUOTE(Kensim00 @ May 26 2011, 11:53 AM) Definitely. I think due to amount and size of glasses at the rear, if there is no good tint the rear passengers will definitely feel hotThus I peeled off my cipalak tint and got myself crystalline. Though there's still heat coming in sometimes. Rear passengers always complain no aircon while I have to increase Fan level to 4th at least. |

QUOTE(econ @ May 26 2011, 10:41 AM) Hi all, So comparing those facts with 41k different price tag, everybody knows the answer of which hybrid better.First of all, I don't own any Hybrid, but my friends does – both insight and Prius. I have to admit that I'm a fan of Prius simply because it's an icon or representation of 'Hybrid'. Anyway, I'm not here to say Prius is better than insight then just run away. In fact, if I were to choose between these 2 cars, I would go for an insight. Why? it's because insight is a very simple car, the idea, the design, bla bla bla... I think that's why the design and engineering is not same as Prius. After a few rounds behind both wheels (insight & Prius) on long distance drives, I found that prius is a great car to be in, but you will have to try very hard and get-use-to to really save fuel. Unlike Prius, Insight is so simple that you don't have much choice apart from just drive with ECON on/off, S here, D there and it works. I does save more fuel compare to Honda City driving under the same condition With Prius, you really have to be gentle on the gas to yield better mileage or be hard to just go fast. Yes, similar goes to insight. But I must say that, for Prius, it became annoying when sometimes you just want to drive like normal but often you will feel that there's not enough power to go up a slope (because the car think that you are in 'eco' mode and try to conserve the energy for you) and when you want to go fast, it will take a while before you can feel the throttle (the delay is quite bad). I'm not very good at describing these 2 cars, but if you draw a line with fuel saving in 1 end and going fast or response in the other, Prius has got longer line at both ends, and it's the longer line that annoyed me. This is the factor that makes me think insight is a simple car and I love the simplicity of it Sorry for the looong reply, GTG, bosses are around Added on May 27, 2011, 10:09 am QUOTE(jacek @ May 26 2011, 10:13 AM) 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. I saw toyota/ prius fan also in that insight forum try to down insight and said prius better bla bla. 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. Maybe they're toyota salesmen trying to get some sales for that expensive prius. We all know Prius not worth a penny here.... This post has been edited by watonk: May 27 2011, 10:09 AM |

QUOTE(alxdc @ May 26 2011, 09:22 AM) just to share a forum from autoworld.com.my on honda insight. U can find that conclusion only if u have own the insight, gone through same route, and do calculative comparison.many positive and negative comments in there. http://forum.autoworld.com.my/index.php?sh...ic=96790&st=240 after reading the comments from auto world forum, this got me thinking, should I cancel my booking? is kinda scary seems like so many ppl dislike it and what insight is achieving, allot of cars can achieved too. so....... sigh..... Buying the Insight, u contribute to less emission and saving the environment. Cancel your booking and u just contribute to reduce waiting time for others. Both also good deed. |

OK no war, just my own experience after a very extensive drive of the Insight.
My first reaction was that the steering on the Insight was actually pretty good, much better than the very imprecise and disconnected feel of the current Honda City. The start/stop feature is also cool although it doesn't work well with my style of driving (driving with both feet). I find that I step on the accelerator to quickly and there's always a jerk as the engine turns on, revs up and the gear suddenly engages. Performance was adequate, I was expecting a bit more I guess with the motor assist and all but I found that performance on the highway is just ok, on par with a 1.5l City. Overall a good car. Too bad it's a bit too small for what I need. |
