Good news I pressume for all insight owners waiting for silver. Saw a truckload of silver insight near sg besi told exit heading towards KL... delivery is resuming...

No rattling sound at all, but only brake pedal sound. I suspect the pedal sound is from something called brake booster or brake pump. Anyone know the way to fix it?

Although most owner here would say yes, i would say no...

U will have to re-learn to view the meters in front of driver rather than on center of dashboard

If u're too use to the softly sprung vios (with significant body-roll when cornering), Insight spring are firmer. I afraid u will take corner faster than before and facing higher chance to overshoot.

When the car almost overshoot, the VSA will kick in to stabilize the car. Since u're not use to VSA, u might be surprise with the VSA indication (some beeps sound and indicator light blinking) and it would make u panic.

Other than that, when drive normally u will find the Insight auto climate control with multi direction blower mode set to leg, your leg will be chilled. Even worst, there were air-duct under front seats channeling cold air to your passenger. Passenger leg also cold....

U could felt too comfortable and loose your focus on highway when u set the cruise control and both leg free while cruising.

The worst reason for all of us, after few years and done with this car, we could only buy cars with very low fc coz we've already used to fill-less travel-more. U could have this issue also.

*this is my longest sarcastic comment ever. Go get it.

im trying my best to get another 2500km before 3rd of july. for 5k service.

Anyone try to drive insight up to genting before?? How does it feel?

Honda charge few ringgit extra for schedule maintenance, dunno why.

IMA system is considered maintenance free unless its time for battery change which cost around 7K, estimated after 10 years based on 1st gen Insight owners worldwide (refer insightcentral).

hahaha

You missed out some bro...for eg. you might get a shock when the wiper clean the windshield automatically when rain fall. The lights comes on when it gets dark. The auto cruise make you burn lesser calories. S#*t your own pants when the engine cuts while you stop at the lights. Making calls to service centre "why ar when I start the engine..no cranking sound one?"

found this on the net.

yeepee... My SA called just now, can proceed to place booking and he promised can deliver within 1-2 weeks

Sorry for those waiting for months... what i did was, i didn't sign anything or book the car if the SA can't promise the fast delivery. I'm not sure if i had 'cut Q' but the SA said someone changed his colour from silver and HM most of the time will not allocate the specific colour they ordered so it's all depend on luck When this happened, they normally find a way to sell off the car instead of request to change the colour.

The allocation is also depend on the sale volume of a particular branch, the more they sell, the more cars they might get for the next order.

I'm wondering if they are allow to order the car without any buyer If yes, why not they just order a lot since this model is selling like hotcakes.


it's the 'hard-to-find' 185/55 16
Dunlop or Bridgestone

Is this kind of tire expensive??

erm... RM200+
It's same as City's tire. Hybrid is not running on special tire.

thanks do you know the exact model name of the tire? example bridestone potenza, turanza and etc??

The one on my ride is Turanza

Hi guys, does it makes any difference if i pay by credit Card for the booking? My SA is asking for cash


No idea about the the model but according to the SA(I'm at the Showroom now) bridgestone is turanza and dunlop is SP sport
