Thanks for the reply.
I dun see any insight club around. I think you guys should start a club like Honda Insight club Malaysia....or etc....Get a official forum

very good
you guys should start

just to share a forum from autoworld.com.my on honda insight.
many positive and negative comments in there.

thanks for the reply.
what about the jerking? As I know CVT is a problematic gear box. Previous generation honda city suffered and cost of replacing the CVT is RM 14k.....
I read some of the members hear, already facing some jerking problem. Although there is no clear view whether this jerking came from CVT honda insight....but as for honda city previous gen..yes.

Hi all,

I've been cruising for 7days since I got this ride and just did the 1st 1000km service.

To my dissapointment, the milleage per litre is not up to my expectations.
The best milleage I did was 16.7km/L and my driving mode as below:

- Econ Mode turned on all the time
- No hard acceleration or hard braking at all time
- Cruise not more than 100km/h, averagely 80-90km/h on hiway
- Mostly on hiway
- always maintaining green color mode on the meter

No doubt it is better than my previous Civic EK FC, but I expected more.
To my surprised, i wonder how some forumers could clocked 20km/l and some declared 25km/l. I've got this details from other forum.

Could anyone enlighten me?

___________________________________________________________

My Econ mode is ON during city drive but still no improve, my 4th tank done 470km, 32 liter , (manual calculation) 14.7km/l (40% City, 60% Highway)

The best part is "the last 3 trip info screen" shows over 20km/l (which is about 300km done in highway), somehow the figure shown in current trip mileage only 15.2km/l (quite accurate to the real fuel consumption) before i pump petrol. I lodged complaint to honda service dealer, as usual, no solution.

Could you explain more on your car jerking issue? What do you mean by that? it is while driving jerking, or start stop jerking? when floor on the peddle jerking? when the CVT shift gear jerking?

you should take extra precaution on the CVT. This sounds like a CVT problem or the fly wheel problem where by the previous honda city with cvt was facing.

CVT gear box is very very sensitive and need to have extra car compared to a conventional 5 speed AT. CVT only can use honda CVTF ( gear oil) do not use other brands.

Previous Honda city with CVT, cost of replacement is around 12 to 14K. your car is still under warranty. so better send it back to honda to have a full checking before is too late.

you can google on Honda City CVT problem....

please, CVT is not design for high rev performance. so please drive ur car like a city hybrid car.....
