If fuel is ur concern then worth it. For me, power 1st, fuel 2nd. With that power/speed, I need a car with a lot of safety features. Can't understand why people drive below 100km/h just bcoz want to achieve low fc...
Speed didn't kill but stupid & careless kill...
13 years ago, running 110km/h make me sleepy & hentam side divider. Lucky no car from the back. After that speed limit is priority no 2. Careful is no 1...

I just test drive this car 2 weeks ago, it's a pretty impressive car and the performance was good also. For a 1.3 it felt like I'm driving a 1.5.

But it's too small to be a car of my choice, I felt quite cramped up and at the back seat it's quite difficult to put 3 adults there (I know most cars has this problem, but Insight was really small) and it's very low too (Aerodynamic design), whenever my friend goes through a bump or some slight bumpy roads, I kept hitting the ceiling of the car.. shocking.gif shocking.gif

Did you get that reply from 1 Service center or a few of them telling you the same thing? I don't think that's true at all..

As an owner, i think you should really test its power. So far compared to my sisters 1.6sx (6spd), after few times compare, confirm Insight faster. Especially the roll-on power. Insight cheats with its abundance torque (IMA motor). Simultaneous run from Johor to KL, average 140km/h, 1.6sx consume 28liters while Insight 13.7liters.

It wont kill you. The battery cost only RM5-6k and going cheaper. The savings from Excise & Imports duty exemption already more than RM30k.

Yeap its not suitable if you always carry all adults. The most is 4 adults and 1 kid; ok. The center back seat is high. The rear legroom is good though.

Insight and Forte is a different car altogether but people will always compare it due to almost similar price tag, together with City, Vios, Inspira etc. I used to prefer Forte 2.0sx but the refinement in Insight caught me. I frequently travel alone so space is not my concern. But the only niggling issue with Forte that hold me back last time was the pull-to-the-left issue. Some can address it by adjusting the camber etc but it comes back after sometimes/ tyre worn etc. My sister keeps complaining on that also.

mine is car problem.. coz the rattling sound sometimes appear even when in low speed driving (50km/h) on smooth road.. sometimes i drove more than 110km/h on highway also don't hv the sound.
thts y it's hard to identify the root cause for it.. only thing i'm aware is the sound coming from the b pillar, near the seat belt area on driver side..
it's very annoying.. sad.gif

i read some oversea forum, the sound may caused by the seat belt height adjuster, set lowest and its gone. not sure if it's your case.

Test its power...? Opsss mine is 2.0, dun think it's fair to compare with insight...
i dun see why pull-to-the-left is an issue... as long as no vibration on steering when on 180km/h and can take nice cornering... enough aldy... mine has been adjusted once during 1st 1k km, after that i never bothered about it until today 25k km...

u saved 14.3L (RM27.17) every time travel. consider u travel twice a month for 5yrs u saved 1716L or RM3260 (if Ron95 with rm1.90). replaced battery after 5 yrs cost u said 4K = u still lost money pocket RM740 cry.gif
i think this car mainly aim for those like tech/features enjoyment and also suit for those go green. overall i still din see it cost less for money paid on fuel.

but silly question, are you sure Insight faster than Forte 1.6SX(6 spd)?? how it could be? hmm.gif
