Hehe... that was my first intention in booking the silver colour ... if silver not guarantee can get ... maybe end of july .. maybe end of August ... and found out that white is a metallic colour should be long lasting.
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.

Dont leave the stain, especially road tar stain too long.

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. 

Since the white is metallic .. should be ok I guess smile.gif

Actually too much poison from reading this forum ...haha....

Its not metallic. Its pearl.

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. blink.gif tongue.gif

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.

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.

ok, thx for d info.
so 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.

No, ur SA definitely get extra commission for ur extra accessories

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.
