QUOTE(vaio_me @ Jun 10 2011, 02:39 PM) I think you better get white if silver need to wait extra months, white actually looks better and you can take your car faster. If you wait and wait...who knows another tsunami (touch wood) then have to delayed again. since it is already mid year now, i suggest better to choose the option with the earliest deliveryjust to be sure you won't miss the tax exmption offer by the government this year... |

not white, we called it Premium Pearl White hehe.
Just make sure to poish or wax once in a while. Dont leave the stain, especially road tar stain too long. Added on June 10, 2011, 3:35 pm QUOTE(jacek @ Jun 9 2011, 11:55 PM) already clocked 528km and range showing 108km...looks like only achieved 636km for full tank this round of 31L. finally finished up the full tank of 31L with 618km. 19km/L.Shell Ron95. Hiway-City 50-50. Econ mode ON all the time. Total milleage clocked 7228km. Now trying Caltex ... dunno whether there r any difference. This post has been edited by jacek: Jun 10 2011, 03:35 PM |

QUOTE(sbanboy @ Jun 10 2011, 01:16 PM) My heart is telling me to go for the White as confirm can get it by this month ... the silver no guarantee ... maybe end of July or August. Its not metallic. Its pearl.Since the white is metallic .. should be ok I guess Actually too much poison from reading this forum ...haha.... Metallic, paint with metal particles. U can see the particles close-up. It returns lights in direct manners so it looks shining vibrant due to those embedded metal particles. Pearl, paint with spectrum particles. It returns light in colour spectrum & sometimes depend on angle. Close-up, u can see the multi-coloured layer in the pearl paint, very fine. Insight comes with 3 pearls (WHite, Black and Blue) while silver is metallic. To me all looks great and have their own strength in emphasizing Insight unique design. Pick any colour u like the most. Coz at the end of the day, u will always see other colour looks like more beautiful than your own. We're human. This post has been edited by watonk: Jun 10 2011, 03:42 PM |

QUOTE(kapultek @ Jun 10 2011, 04:19 PM) Bro what is your mileage now?I notice when econ on -it soften throttle response, but still go full power when we floor. -extend idle-stop. -reduce the blower speed. -extend the use of IMA battery eg extent coasting with battery only at slow speed. I think its good to switch econ on or off every other day so that the whole system is used. Also its good to sometimes start driving with L, then S and shift to D when speed increases to make sure all sensors and pressure gauge inside CVT box optimally used. |

QUOTE(alxdc @ Jun 10 2011, 04:07 PM) It will be different based on which dealer you went to. If Honda Japan recover faster, than probably will get more car coming next month. It also based on how many booking the dealer got before yours. |

QUOTE(jacek @ Jun 10 2011, 12:01 PM) ok, thx for d info. No, ur SA definitely get extra commission for ur extra accessoriesso the SA just BS me syaing that the price has increased. The boot tray memang RM400 la. Actually, quite dissapointed how they handled my queries on the accessories as the Sales Supervisor seems to be unsure on many things on Insight. By the way, just to inform you all that the door step garnish is out of stocks and they are not sure on the availability. Dunno why it is so difficult to get the accessories ... or maybe t hey dont get commission on accessories, that is why such lousy feedback from them. Honda Malaysia, take note if any of you reaidng this. |

QUOTE(kapultek @ Jun 10 2011, 04:19 PM) Hi bro, sorry but to disagree with your statement.I have tried both Eco mode ON and OFF. On average, with Econ Mode ON, i can clocked easily 600km and above for 31L tank. As with Econ Mode OFF, only maximum 500km +-. That equals to approximately RM9.99 difference on the FC for full tank usage. That is why since then, I've been using Econ Mode ON at all time. Sorry if the above is not applicable on your Insight, but I am just sharing on the differences. |
