Hmm jerking issue, most of the time none, sometime I do feel some mild one but not that bad actually. Not an issue on my side.

ic, mine can feel start from 3rd gear down til 1st gear... i know cvt tak ada gear, but serious, i feel it.

once the gear shifting, i can feel the jerking/shaking. some time u press brake from speed 50kmh til 15 ++ i also can feel whole car was shaking while gear shifting.

after they reset/reconfigure the ecu, car feel better while press pedal.


haha.. wtd, i vy sensitive while driving. i need vy quite and conformable.
thinking to change the all tyre.. any brand tyre recommend for super quite one?


since u both from penang.. u wanna tested drive my car??

Few type of jerk/hesitation happen when:

1. The car starts accelerate using fuel only, then the motor kicks in to assist. Very mild one.
2. The car starting to coast on battery only at speed around 30-50kmh, very light on pedal. Fuel cut and i-vtec close all valve. More noticeable than no 1.
3. The fuel/engine kicks in when battery half empty or we step on the gas to go faster. Slight hesitation can be felt, comparable to no 2.
4. Air conditioning compressor kick on and off. Jerk or lurch. Very mild one.
5. Blip the throttle, the moment we are going for overtaking maneuver but suddenly back off due to whatever reason (oncoming car etc). The electric motor only started to assist when suddenly we back off.
6. Shift to 'S'. Sudden lurch forward especially if we're very early on gas.
7. Anytime at speed 60kmh and below, the engine going from 'fuel only' mode to 'recharging' mode. Very mild.
8. Sudden lurch while braking, happen when the car almost stop (speed below 15kmh or so). The car suddenly 'free'. Felt like pressing clutch on a manual car. More obvious if the engine immediately went into idle-stop.
9. The most noticeable jerk on this car was when the engine going from battery only mode to fuel mode, fuel kicks in simultaneously with aircond compressor. Happened to me once or twice.

Call it '9 type of shift' or even better '9 speed CVT'. For me they were not that bad, fully acceptable. I agree on suggestion swap car to verify the severity just in case some of us got lemon.
A DSG gearbox jerks even worst. Go try Ford Fiesta. U'll know what i mean.

Hi Watonk, well said bro.
I experienced the same except point no.6 as so far, i've never cruise using S gear.

by the way, by any chance any forumer here passed by section14 (digital mall) every morning, with plat number MCAxxxx?

But VW Gearbox was pretty OK . Sorry side track a bit

Just received 3rd stage trophy this morning after clocked 7784km. Not fast enough to capture photo when it prompted up. :S

So what next? I can sell my car now? lol!

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!
