YES!! I was just asking my wife what was the sound when on our way home... near the stering and air cond temperature control there. Sometimes it will goes off.
will ask HC to check during my 10k service.

20km a day ... assuming you cruise 600km a month or 700km maximum...
With Honda Insight, YOU WILL ONLY NEED TO PUMP PETROL ONCE A MONTH!! haha

I believe your fear of maintainance is heard from those who r denying the advantage of Insight hybrid car.

from my observation from friends and other forums, these are common comments on Honda Insight:

1. It is a CHEAP hybrid, mild hybrid, not a real Hybrid car.
2. Insight is not a Hybrid car, real Hybrid is Pr*us.
3. It is marketing gimmick from Honda
4. It cannot run on the engine alone
5. Diesel car is better than Insight
6. HIGH maintainance, Insight battery cost RM12k! some say RM8k-10k.
7. Cannot fetch tall people
8. Vios, Myvi, Persona, Fiesto, VW golf etc can get better fuel consumption... bla bla bla
....the list goes on and on ...

I dunno why many people hate this Insight so much.

hahahahaha,.... got someone pro in lyn call half hybrid!!! sweat.gif

it was super hot today, so i turn off my ECO button... and drove the rest of the way home w/ECO off. Wow, can feel the difference - suddenly felt like I was driving sports car smile.gif

(haven't been driving w/ECO off, since I always drive w/ECO on, 95% of the time. good to feel what it's like w/ECO mode off!)

Did a couple of times on 'S' mode without ECO on NKVE, its just gets better. Occasionally drive like normal, but sometimes wana show power a bit, haha...cos feel bored travelling such a long distance on highway. Smoke a couple cars before, just couldnt resist the 'force' of 'S'. I had my ride ramped up to 6k rpm, already at the red borderline...scary yo! Anyone go beyond the borderline?
Did accelerate also from standstill (with 'S' and ECO off), can feel the whole engine wants to shoot like rocket, but hold-up kind of feel, its like beng 'bottlenecked' by the car itself...
thumbup.gif couldnt agree more, had enuf of other cars that I have seen too much on the road, so common dy.

I touch up to 6.5rpm with shell v-power racing

QUOTE(alxdc @ Jun 17 2011, 11:18 PM)
guys. you should beware of the CVT gear box. Please google about it or from the previous Gen honda city. prevent technical failure before its too late. Car stationary and full acceleration, playing with 'S' mode, drive car with cvt like a race car with high rev, not a good idea. Don't end up paying RM 14k for a new CVT gearbox.....Just a little friendly advice.

am thinking of a car at the end of this year. Insight is one of my options.
I got a question : I heard that the air cond switches off when the car is at a stop like a traffic light. does this happen only at Econ mode or it is by default ?
