fair enuff, but I am wondering why the commentator didnt comment on Lexus Hybrid car? If his comparison is merely based on the sales contribution on Insight,  I wonder whether Lexus sales boost up from the new range of Hybrid car. I am just dissapointed that the sales contribution used as a judgement on this Insight. As matter of fact, it is really worth every penny.

Even for Prius, no doubt the sales volume is higher than Insight, but what's the percentage contribution to total Toyota sales at the end of the day?

Well, anyway, I also received many bad comments on Insight from my colleagues and friends but who cares, at the end of the day, I am paying RM0.09 per km; which is 50-60% lesser than their so called perfect ride.

Illegal parked in front of the police station haha,
actually backdated oredi, it was in May (2weeks after gotten my ride)...drove all the way to spend 1 night in Penang.
*
Actually i dun giv a sh1t about that. As long as i happy den ok. If someone complain about, den i wil ask them go to buy. Else story ends.
I think who hav drive insight before, power enug rite? So do u think need to go for 1.8cc or more? In malaysia road, how far u can speed? We jus nid a low cost and fuel saver car. As someone calc before, how much mileage u can use for another rm40k?

I do hav a lot gang drive t.prius. It because they previously drive camry, madza6, merc or bmw. So diff level ppl hav to choose same lvl cars. Correct me if i wrong.

Dun forget, honda insight still can driving even ur battery kong, other... Cannot.

i love this car....but i'm concerned about the resale value

this is the oldest hybrid technology which means the chances it will be replaced will be high?

if let's say i'm planning to use this car for 5-7 years.....not that i don't like it but there's always room for improvement right, what do you think the second hand cars market response will be?
*



sweat.gif another 2nd value sleep.gif
if u buy now from rm98000 til now rm99800, im sure ur resale value should be ok after 5-7 years, because now gov giving no tax on this car, in future... wa tak tau. tongue.gif

and after 5-7 years, battery should drop to 50-60% i think... so another cons point for this car...
BUT, if another 5-7 years and our "1 Malaysia" petrol increase the price 30-50%, den i dun think u sell ur car. hahaha

and if you looking for high resale value car, pls go for vios. tqvm

Just received call from my SA, the reason of the tax cert not approve is due to the IMA battery with this new batch which installed with Civic hybrid battery. There are 8 insights in their store facing this issue due to shortage of insight battery. He said I will receive a letter Honda Malaysia these few days on the delaying. Either wait for insight battery or new batch with the right battery.  Really bad luck for me... sad.gif

CODE
IMA battery
The Insight’s IMA is powered by a flat, nickel metal hydride battery pack located below the cargo floor between the rear wheels. The 84 module battery is manufactured by Sanyo Electric[34] and provides a nominal system voltage of 100.8 volts with a nominal capacity of 5.75 ampere-hours.[35] The power density of the modules is 30 percent greater than in the current-generation Civic Hybrid. The battery is recharged automatically by scavenging engine power, when needed, and by regenerative braking when the car is decelerating. The power management electronics, battery modules, and cooling system are all self-contained within the IMA battery pack.


SOS


make sure u get the insight battery.

Now waiting official letter from H.M and discuss with SA what to do...  I think will state deliver date in the letter..

Some suggestion from SA for me...
1. Full refund.
2. Change model.
3. Wait for new battery pack shipment and change it here (not CBU already?)
4. Wait for new batch car with right battery.

Yes. I will call H.M when receive their letter...

Dun get refunds... This is a good car fyi. If u refunds means ur sa earn anothet rm1800 due to new price for insight. Since u already wait for 6month, y dun u jus wait ya?

Hey need a little help here. My Honda Insight 2010/2011 is currently only hitting about 450km on a 30 litre tank. From other threads and forums, I have seen people claiming to hit almost 600-700km on the same tank. Any thoughts? Is there an issue with my car that I need to go back to Honda to fix? Thanks for the help!
