just do my booking on this saturday for the first 1000km service. actually today already over 50km.
very happy on the car, i still on the 2nd tank and it still have 200km range to travel.

creep aid mode is where ur car on slope, it will stand still for a while (~2sec) when u remove ur leg from the brake to the accelator. to get this done, press hard on the brake first.

remember to press hard on the brake first. i encounter one time without press hard on the brake at slope, then engine off. when traffic light turn to green, the car was move back when i lift my leg from brake...scare me >.<

nope.. paint should be the same but when applied to the bumper the appearance should look slightly different (yellowish white)

ya...slightly diff compare to the car body.
he told me that the bumper come original with black color...that is the reason the color is slightly diff.

Hey Insight owners, have a question to ask after I test drive the car. biggrin.gif

Somehow, from stand-still to slow moving speed (30km/h), I experienced some jerking from the gearbox during my test drive with the Honda Insight. I'm wondering is this normal?? Coz I am driving a City with 7-speed CVT, I thought CVT gearbox supposed to be smoother during transmission?? hmm.gif

Would hope you guys can enlighten me with your owner-experiences. Thanks. wink.gif
*
yeah...CVT is smooth...but there is time when the electric motor kick it, then u will feel some jerk esp when u drive slow.
it will be very obvious during traffic jam. try find in the old post, some member has list out all the senarios when u get little jerk, medium jerk and big jerk tongue.gif

small "crink crink" sound (like keychain's keys rubbing) come off from the steering wheel when on uneven road. Removed every coins, stuff, near steering wheel.. the annoying noise persist. Any of you encounter the same problem? Or any advise.
Probably need to ask the sc to check next month during the 10k service. Sigh.. going to wait extra hours for their troubleshooting... waste time waste time...  sad.gif

i have the same problem also...my one is suspect is from the passenger side...i also remove all things in the compartment but sometime the noise still come out on uneven road...

also notice that the front passenger door also need more "force" to close compare to others.

Me also got problem with front passenger door, need more force.
But luckily got no problem with crincking sound, reverse sensor, auto light sensor, auto wiper sensor, or jerking issue.

beside the more "force" to close the door, do u notice that the feel when u open the door at the handle also a bit harsh compare to other doors?

i going to make this complain at my 5k service. also the sound from the front passenger dashboard...

just to ask, any modification to the car that involve wiring could void the warranty? Such as HID, Footwell light or boot light...etc
*
for the foot light LED, if i was not wrong, there is socket available inside for the beta package installation. during my beta package installation, i only able to see the one at the center dashboard. i got further ask the fellow who install it and he told me got socket n just plug n play...

let wait others to confirm this...
