Yup. Mine also got. But not as black/thick as yours.

I notice there is some oil and its covered with a layer of dust. The trace of oil is all the way to the bottom part of that joint (between motor and gearbox). Non on top. What could it be?

Our IMA motor is dry sump is it? or is it submerged in engine or cvt oil?

Seems we got a degree holder wiper sensor and a thrown-out-of-school light sensor.

Install mugen kit first. Theft will thought yours is modded car/ no longer original = walkaway
Only install connex when u smell something fishy about your spouse and wanna track where they went

I really wish they extend the tax exemption period.

Honda always use this reason to attract buyers.

Local manufacturer not yet have any hybrid model for next year.

Congrats

Its stiffer. If u used to a toyota, u'll need some getting used to initially.
But u'll appreciate the way it tackle fast bend.

You've been warned. Your dream come true but this time the theft win coz he knows he'll be caught if steal the whole car so he steal the wiper nut cover instead

Toyota is softly sprung. My last toyota also using std 16 inch so the different is not much. I really appreciate Insight less rolling when taking corners coz my next of kin really complaints that in the toyota.

I'm more concern on the tyre noise....

I'm thinking of getting it replace with Michelin or Bridgestone.....

I notice the sensor will beep even on slight incline. I think its sensitive enough and we might getting used to it after sometimes.

Which mudguard?

Highly recommended to use the fuse. The best is nearest to the battery. In the event of short circuit (wire short, contact with body) the wire wont melt till burnt.

Nope. Dunlop 2030. Harder sidewalls : stiffer & noisier but handles better. Yours with Er370 rite. What d u think of those tyres?

I used to have a set of Bridgie ER30 195/55/16 on my last ride. Nice those tyres. Really quiet.

Not only worst... but worstest. haha
Got your airmaster/mugen yet? Still expensive la.

Originally Insight didnt have mudguard. Maybe u refer to the fender, coz some people call that mudguard. The one i put, some say its mudflaps, some say mudguard oso.

Yup we all gone through that. If u can continue your journey without much stop, u might can achieve that 850km. But normally, we will have to come home, restart the car next morning, go through lots of traffic lights, speed bumps and hills/incline, the most we can get for normal daily life is 7xx km. If u can maintain 650 ++ km per 30 liters consider good already.

Next they will steal the antenna. Watch out

Picture please

The center seat was bumped to make way for some wiring below.

Didnt notice that. I'll observe tomorrow morning.
I only notice some whistling sound when the car first started but gradually disappear.

My concern is on the 'Honda said if the Civic Hybrid is driven aggressively with the throttle pressed hard, the battery life would be compromised' statement.

Insight only uses fuel when we step on the accelerator pedal. Shift to N will waste your momentum and your battery will be undercharge.

Dunlop tyres were not well known for silent.

Sounds advance. Just like space shuttle

Me last time looking for White but only manage to get Red colour. Will repaint it to White.

Sport pedal, any acc shop have, cheap & good or expensive & good.

Side step no choice right now. HM only. Unless if u can find any universal type if have.

If you can maintain this kinda driving history, 600km per tank is 'kacang'.

Notice that my mileage already 450km @ fuel tank slightly below middle level.

Again, maximize your momentum (but dont crash into others back).

Sorry 4 ur mishaps. Now im thinking to put a mesh/guard in front, behind the bumper. The opening on the bumper is quite large.
Besides asking the service center personnel, sometimes senior mech do part time job in searching & replacing part. Linger round the service area and slow talk to them. They might have the answer.

Mileage drop from 19km/l to 16km/l also happening if you drive straight 150km/h
Try n see.

It seems expensive coz its new and parts only available from authorized dealer. The number of Insight in Malaysia is getting higher, later more channel of parts will be available at a lower cost.
In fact any other foreign car, name it Toyota, Ford, Peugeot, Mazda, etc or even Kia, also have quite expensive parts price tag from authorize service center.

Its a cool Honda I agree

Naughty huh

Test drive and feel both. If u really wanna cheap & easy, trash out car for daily abuse, buy national (Persona is not bad).
Owning City vs Insight, infact Vios/Forte is not that much different in term of cost, but you have a better air conditioning control + reduce CO & CO2 in our atmosphere

U dont have to digest the 1.3 vs 2.0 parts comparison coz its not making sense.

The fact is, anything new and rare in the market will be more expensive compared to those abundance...
In Insight case, i think they put it pretty nicely. Not too cheap and not too expensive. the most important thing is quality should be up to the price quoted.
