3M 60" x 1 meter is about RM20++ only.

Hi all,

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'. when you mentioned a hybrid car, chances are the 1st car came to people's mind is Toyota Prius, even Hollywood movies use Priuses.

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 It's a bit like a DSLR and a point & Shot camera case, sometime i don't need a DSLR to do the job

Sorry for the looong reply, GTG, bosses are around

In order for Prius to do better than Insight, Prius have to try hard. Under normal condition, there's not much different. So it's save to say Prius can do better just because it can. Driving side by side at the same pace, it's FC is almost same as insight. For Prius, with a bit of experience and skill (Which can be annoying and i rather not do it), you can do better.

If most people just drive as it is, the FC will be similar. RM65-68 for both car and the FC is around 650-700km for both cars. Tested twice, and they both stay very near, and work at same area time leaving and coming back are almost same too.

200NM of torque? that's a lot hmmmm... Next time when I drive the insight, have to try to step on the gas harder

Hi all insight owners,

Anyone want modulo skirting? Black, Front, Side and Back. 2 months old, ori from honda. Bottom part of the front skirt scratched.

My friend want to sell his because it's too low. Go 1Utama can't park beyond the kerb and will touch the ground when enter certain hotel basement car park.

Will upload photos and let you guys know the price. He has no idea how much is the original price because he upgrade a lot of things together.

No lah. I think it's fine with normal suspension. He lowered his ride a little. I think Mugen Skirting even lower.

Aiyo... to be honest, he changed his suspension back to OEM one and think that the skirting not as nice with stock spring so he decide to take it off.
