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
*
56k = Custom Value.
minus shipping, cost of AP, 10% sales tax, HM profit margin, branch profit margin and sales man commission.

go figure

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?
*
It is for those driver in the country where there is snow, then it is advisable to turn VSA off

Not only insight price on ap was very low, i read somewhere mazda3 2.0 Also price low stated on ap, any altis owner can confirm the price on ap, i think all cbu cars prices are very low on ap cert....

The custom value declared seems pretty reasonable for Insight if you look at US selling price. I'm interested to see Prius Custom value quoted on the AP

Just sharing my feelings and thoughts.

I’m feeling cheated and disappointed with Honda on how things are being handled on their end. I booked my Insight in May and I don't mind the long wait because I like the design and look of the car. However, I'm disappointed on how the company is reacting on the price increase after Japan faced the earthquake and all. I booked my car for RM98,000 and recently they informed me that the car is ready (I'm so happy and it was earlier than expected), but the price is RM99,800. I understand there's these fineprints saying they can make changes to the price/ specification without any prior notice, but then again they clearly show that they are not considerate and never think from their customers’ perspective. It’s definitely not ethical to increase the price of the car after your customer has paid downpayment for the booking of the car. Even though Honda believes that they have the rights, so bye bye Insight and Honda!
*
Actually u can blame your SA for taking your Insight Booking..coz When the Earthquake strike, Honda Malaysia officially stop taking booking for Insight on mid April, they issued notice on that to the sales ppl as well. So when you book in May, really you're just booking with your SA, not Honda Malaysia
QUOTE
Last week, Honda Malaysia stopped taking orders for the Insight hybrid.

“Supplies of other Honda cars in Malaysia are not affected. However, we are still not sure when we can resume order taking for the Insight here,” said a Honda Malaysia spokesperson.

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.

I think.....The only time I will charge my battery fully using that method is when I want to race prius and accelerate from stop fast with full assist from IMA..lol....jk laugh.gif

FC update report with Econ on
Average out highway (85%) & city (15%) ~20.4km/l
Good or not?

New car come with 37km mileage, now 1km!!  (only 3days & ready for service).
Very satisfy with the car so far; only drawback compressor stop during jam is crazy. But try changing the blower mode using the foot and top blower, solve my problem. The foot blower is damn power..

1000KM right? lol it would be weird if your car odometer reset itself sweat.gif

hi all,
i just got my insight today!
Immediately i drive by to pump full tank, it shows my range is 757km, then i was cruising back home (around 30mins, maintain green most of the time, then pick up a couple times just to test power, and cruise control) for about 30km, then switch back to range surprisingly it shows 850km (yes, after 30km)
anyone been into this situation before? was quite anticipating how well it goes:)

That's pretty good. Remember to check your tyre pressure

Mugen kit, the current imitation in the market not really worth it. You can see the fin on the rear under spoiler not really functional as intended in the original Mugen. You will understand why I said that by comparing the photo posted by jason http://www.facebook.com/amazingdragonbodykit and compare to those posted by Mugen. Afaik all Mugen kit for insight selling in Malaysia is the same type of imitation

dear all,

can i ask why is the spare tire pressure 420kpa? its so much higher than the tires on the car which is supposed to be 230kpa front and 220kpa back.
*
The space-saver type spare requires a much higher air pressure level than other tyres and is virtually useless (due to overloading) at lower air pressure levels.

well, the original Mugen kit would cost 8-10k in Japan without shipping so i guess there is no one willing to bring in the kit to copy? So they have to rely on images to make a copy of it?

just out of curiousity i checked rakuten,  the bodykit would cost around 5.3k itself and the rear spoiler is arouns 2.7k without shipping and tax lol.

perhaps i could try getting the Mugen Hybrid Intelligent Sports emblem if i ever fit the mugen bodykit tongue.gif
*
Well they can always get license and the bodykit details from Mugen and manufacture it locally. That would be much cheaper. Sadly the seller (ildivi..) who sell authentic officially licensed Mugen kit are not planning to bring in authentic Mugen kit for insight yet sad.gif

Mitmivec,
Welcome good to see u here! Haha

Guys a general question on driving habit.  Any negative impact to put gear N while going minor down slope or 'cruising' to stopping, just with intention to 'save fuel'?

when you lift your leg off the accelerator the valve will go idle, so you don't need to shift to N
