QUOTE(watonk @ Jun 15 2011, 12:39 AM) Although most owner here would say yes, i would say no... THIS IS WHY I HATE HONDA INSIGHT!! 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.  TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE! i will be having problem to buy the next car ... too spoiled by this d@mn insight.

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.QUOTE(alxdc @ Jun 15 2011, 09:06 AM) guys. what tire brand and profile is honda insight using? it's the 'hard-to-find' 185/55 16Dunlop or Bridgestone This post has been edited by econ: Jun 15 2011, 09:36 AM |

QUOTE(iphone @ Jun 15 2011, 06:47 AM) hahaha Funny LOL... One more... how come i can zoom to 150km/h on highway easily with only 1.3l of engine? Is the eco button on/off sort of turbo button?? haha.  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?"   |

Buy the car that you love rather than what other people think is conventional and cheap. If you can afford the car, u can afford the maintenance for sure.Afraid future maintenance cost will be high. eg. battery, electric motor (reliability unknow), others parts.. cheers |

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.

Actually when I 1st approach Honda Salesman last Friday, most of them said the waiting period is about 1 month but most can't promise fast delivery. Try Silver or white at Sumber Auto PJ, Angkasa Jalan Ipoh or Kah Motor Puchong.Cannot wait any longer for my insight... This post has been edited by econ: Jun 15 2011, 01:27 PM |
