not bad...my 1st full tank only clocked 580km.
now easily 650km and above for 31L full tank.

it will get better after 1k and 5k km service
*
mine abt 540km for 32.04 litre petrol used with 90% city drive. which is abt 17.xx/litre. which i find it not too bad for my first full tank since mostly city drive.

my friend got offered 2.62% for 7 yrs for 60k loan, if your amount or loan period is higher, u should expect lower rate.

Btw, someone in FB said, next badge of insight might have new color to choose. So worth the price increase maybe. Singapore Honda got many color choice at their website.

these two colors are nice.

I find 3M crystalline has at least 90 - 95% of what Vkool elite can offer. 

Vkool sales staff really got attitude and very bad manner, you ask for discount means you ask for f.uck.

Vkool price is 2600 - 2800.

3M service is much better and very friendly.

To me, 5-10% difference in performance is not huge.

RM1100-1300 is huge difference.
*
vkool gives poor GPS signal + zero smartag.

I have discovered a new method to prevent auto-idle stop to cut off your aircond during traffic jam at hot weather.
Press the "rear" or "front" button of your aircond controller to activate the engine from auto-idle stop mode, then press that button again to disable that aircond mode once your engine has kick started

[attachmentid=2295866]
*
is such move necessary?

i have been driving my insight for a week. the auto-stop does not trouble me at all even the aircon was off during the auto-stop. the engine does auto kick in again while the temperature in the car starts to raise even when the car is still stop without me doing anything.

Damn sakit hati, my 3 month old insight got rear ended, damage to the bumper + hatch. Planning to send to USJ car express on Monday once i get the official report from the traffic police HQ in PJ. Anyone here knows how long it takes to get it fixed?

Shit happens. Sometimes we just cannot avoid someone hitting us.

sorry to hear that.

merlayseah drivers are the worst the in world afterall. now u know it. that's why when we are on the road, we are not focusing on how we drive, but more towards bewaring of those reckless short-lifed (短命鬼) drivers on the road.

"new car should replace with original part. even claim on another party insurance "

Yeah, that should be the case. That's why I took my own photos and will check on their work quality. U know la, malaysian work quality vs. japanese work quality. Some might think i am biased but its all about the perception.

Apparently since the bumper is wide open now (the fella banged twice), i can see that its being held by a frame and screwed to the body. Boot mat also cannot close properly.

if others bump into our car. we can insist to go back our service centre to claim the warranty from them rite?

This is a useful tip especially on hot days and full passenger load.
After know this, I will just give the button a quick on-off sequence to disable auto-stop.

Start to see more Insight for the morning jam at Penang Bridge. Such a good feeling  icon_rolleyes.gif

isn't that simply disable the econ mode will solve the problem already? when econ mode is off, the no of times the autostop triggered was sigificantly reduced.

yesterday i was running on BKE.... running back to PG at nite... 150km/h.. still feel quite stable.

only problem for me is that @ 150 km/h... the wind/tyre noise is very loud, so a little irritating when driving long dist.
*
yeah, that's why some say the sound proof is better than honda city becos of made in japan, which i dun agree.

but of course, to me the sound proof is satisfied based on the car price and car range.

vibration - yes, there's some vibration from the car, esp @ high speeds. quite noisy @ high speeds on h/way also.
auto lock - you can install one from car shop. it's RM150-200 or so.
folding mirrors - also, this can be done @ car shop. my shop quoted me RM200. but warned that the motor will spoil faster if you install auto-lock (replacing wing mirror motors are v expensive apparently)
remote - can order another one. ask SA. heard it was RM800 (!!)
long key - agree. it helps if it can fold. keeps on poking my pocket!
*
the key is standard size among honda car i believe. my NHC also has the same key size.

It should be around RM360 inclusive of installation. Hmm, I notice you sell original Honda parts too, you don't have them?
Not too sure if its necessary, but i do it every once a month smile.gif
You put your gear to P or N, then rev constant above 2.5k till you get your battery to charge fully.

Currently no OEM bluetooth integrated system that fits the Insight...
and the real-estate on the car's dashboard is precious smile.gif
dun wan so many gadgets lying on my dashboard (i.e. GPS, phones, rear/front camera screen and etc)

So after much looking around... settled for the Garmin 2565 .... hope there will be some OEM audio/video system that fits nicely into the Insight coming out soon... hehe...

Tot there is new model which comes with analogue tv and front camera recorder function.

I am planning to get that.

Thanks for your reply.
as it was my 1st time engaged L Gear since i got this ride, it is rather 'draggie' and practically can feel the engine/gear box is struggling to run the engine and caused jerking along the way down. Yes, it will definitely prolong the brakepad lifespan but am not comfortable with the L gear; thou I have driven manual tranny before, engaging 2nd and 3rd gear going downhill was way smoother drive.

just sharing... cheers

How much is the brake pad?
