After waiting for 1 month plus since my booking of white Insight. Finally it's my turn to receive call from my SA to offer me a Silver Insight. Ha ha ha. laugh.gif

Saw a lot of similar post in FB and LYN but did not expect it to happen to me in Kuching doh.gif . However, it happen to me now. Agreed to take the car and expect to get my Silver next week. rclxms.gif

Manage to bargain for some freebies. icon_idea.gif Will post it here once I get them physically. Hope it will not be empty promises otherwise will post the SA name here to warn everyone to stay away from him.

All these SA give sad stories and face.

At first want me to pay for puspakom inspection and go jpj to register so don't have to pay runner to do it. I said NO. I told my SA - "I don't ask anything from you, you don't ask anything extra from me"

SA says commission very low so I wonder who makes all the money. The car only cost RM56,760 plus another 10% Sales Tax so total RM62,436. HM price is 94,950.80 so siapa untung RM32,514.80????

Hi! May I know how do you know the actual cost of Honda Insight 2010 cost is RM56,760 in exact number? I am impressed. shocking.gif

Bro, trunk tray better or boot coil mat ? how much is the boot coil mat?
*
I think trunk tray better because if got water, it will not spill around the whole car and not wet your back seat, only within the tray. Coil mat good for seat step only.

Go for a test drive and buy the car you like the MOST  !!  rolleyes.gif

overheard that the price stated in the AP for Insight only RM56K. Then why we still want to buy it ?? Due to lower profit margin by HM ??  hmm.gif  hmm.gif  Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...  unsure.gif
*
Confirmed it is RM56K in AP. Saw it myself. But what does it mean by the Price listed in AP?


1. Is RM56K price from Honda Japan for Honda Malaysia?
2. Is RM56K price from Honda Malaysia for Dealer?

If it is price for Honda Malaysia, for sure lah Honda Malaysia want to make $ also, then dealer make $ then Sales Manager make $, then Sales Rep make $, then Sales tax. Don't forget 99K also include Insurance and registration cost.


My 2 cents. Please comment

Hi there,

Just want to ask the sifu here. Insight provide an button to engage the VSA system. Can anyone advice when should we turn it on and when should we turn it off? If it is suppose to provide improved active safety features, why is there a button to let driver to turn it off?

Hi, i think u should makema complaint to honda malaysia, sure the dealer will kena kao kao because it is very clear on news that HM already instruct all dealer to stop take any booking in mid Apr. But dealer r so kiasu, so they take booking anyway n tot they can do batch booking once HM open to take booking.

So, i think HM is right in all aspect and not to take any blame. If u want to blame, pls blame yr dealer and SA.

I just collected my Insight yesterday smile.gif and enjoying it.

Dear owner,

I notice my Insight Engine Coolant "is cold" signal light come on every morning I start my car. Should I wait till the light goes off before I drive or I can just ignore it?

Advice appreciated. Thank you

I dont mind but the best is send me some royalty check tongue.gif

The panel is held by 5 center clips and 2 screws at both ends. The screws is easy job but prying open the clips needs a pair of firm but careful hands. The clips have some watertight washer/layer so be careful not to tear or loose it in the process.

Need to put a layer of plastic cement then sand the surface. Spray according to Insight colour code.
U're lucky i have a close up pic...

Saw the first time, didn't notice the different. Now I notice the diff. It's the 3rd brake light panel is spay to white.

Hmm.. if you drive black or silver, probably you won't notice it.

Hi everybody,

I'm in dilemma in choosing city and insight. Personally what I like about Insight is the interior, more futuristic dashboard design compare to city. But buying city wont give much problem in near future such as battery problem encounter by insight?

What I'm worry about Insight is will it feel underpower while fetch 4~5 persons (sometimes)? How about the pickup and aircond during traffic jam in hot days

Thanks God i hv gone through the situation. For me, it was easier. It is between buy or no buy. After getting real understanding on the car technology and have confidence on honda brand. I decided it will be a great car. We should understand that every new tech will attract some doubt like i-vtec and vvt-i last time, but they r designed to last. Now driving it happi!y everyday. Only worry is people might get jealous smile.gif
