I got my Blackie today. my SA told me that insurance pays full amount of 98k if lost. In case why bother to install extra lock, if stolen get new one. tongue.gif

yup true, but again, do u think they will pay the next day? all sorts of unessary trouble, and to thoes who are reli depedent on ur car for work, will find a hard time getting a spare car

and to those who spent on mod such as audio and bodykit, they wont pay for such claim sweat.gif

I've driven the insight to genting. It uses both petrol and electric all the time. At certain climbs, I set the gear to 'S'

Hi Groovy,

Do you feel the car under power when you drove up to Genting? How many passenger sit in the car?

Thanks for sharing.

That is true..but the 100% insurance claim only applicable if your car was stolen during first year..
if it was stolen on the 2nd year, u will not get the full refund
therefore, it is worth to invest a little on the pedal lock....the one i got from bro sh@rty was a good and convenient thumbup.gif

If they wanted to stolen ur car, we really cant do anything. But install extra lock is highly recommended.

I not sure that hav 1system that can remote shutdown ur car once ur car hav been toll or stolen. But i not sure can install in insight or not. Lol

They will pay you back in 10 days or 14 days after cancellation.

I really salute those who can get > 800 km for the first tank. I could only get 570km, n now range showing 30km, so probably total of 600km.

Eco mode on, drive slowly (more lively when driving my myvi lol), no hard traffic jam, average 90km. Even though friends tested drive 2 times, it shall not caused the fuel to drop so drastic.

Anyway slow driving make me feel sleepy. Will drive like normal car n see how it goes for the 2nd tank.

they have tested the insight and below are their comment extracted from the article :-

"With RM30 of Ron95, you’ll get 15.789 liter. With 25.8km per liter, you’ll be able to travel around 407km (roughly estimated)! On normal days, my Satria can only give me at most 200km for RM30.00!

It is important to note that the media team that accomplished this did not drive like a half blind great-grandfather with no spectacles, and they were the first to arrive in Melaka.

Performance wise, well, as the talk goes about fuel efficiency, performance can sometimes be thrown out the window. The new Insight, however, is utilizing the latest 2 Stage i-VTEC technology, which means the car is not really a slowpoke. We managed to get 185km/h on the electronic speedometer while another media team managed to get 195km/h. Getting up there can be a little slow, which is on par with the 1.3 IMA engine, but the car is not designed for a drag race. The most optimum speed to cruise, we were told, is around 110km/h to 130km/h, which is around the legal speed limit here in Malaysia"

wow.. never tried at 195km/h.. dunno how it feels like. hmm.gif

btw i really love how they took the car photo with various angle.. looks elegant and proud to own one.

Hypermilling tips when you run using autocruise;

Try to reduce blue zone/maintain green zone at incline by inching down on the set speed using Decel/SET button. The car will obviously slows down getting up the hill, depending on the degree of incline.

When the car going downhill, press Accel/RES button to extend the green zone and speed up the car. By then will got enough momentum for the next slope.

More green zone, better mileage. In the meantime your legs are still rest free.

Quite exciting. Like playing game using joystick. Have a try.

Any news on your cars for those for booked??... I booked early march, still no news.
May even have to wait until June July... this is so frustrating, no point in cancelling it now, just have to wait...

Should've bought it from those ulu ulu places where the SA is allocated cars, but with minimum buyers..
Instead, went with a reputable dealer, and ended up wait wait wait....
