Now in Actmar service center for 5k. Reach here @ 7.45am, learn a lesson from previous visit. I'm the 16th customer, lol. Apparently no appointments during saturday, which sucks. Let's c how long I'm gonna wait.

The whole process took 2 n half hours, okla not bad. The maintenance includes change of semi syn oil n washer drain. Insist wheel alignment n balancing check which cost around RM44.

My bro-in-law had his cvt gear changed as well (2nd previous gen city). I rev the engine hard only when in 's'...u could feel much more responsive n smooth, no dragging whatsoever, contrary when u rev at 'd'. Its like the cvt is straining. That's y we have that 'L' gear for slopes. But then again, gotta remind myself of the vulnerability of cvt gearboxes.

Free semi syn oil?

usually i will use S whenever i need to overtake a car. Treated it like O/D on a auto gear.
also use S sometimes when i need a good pick up after i reduce speed especially on slope. Pretty much like shifting back to gear 1- 2 from gear 3 - 5 on a manual car.

i would say i drive like a manual car with this S and D mode. S = 1 - 2. D = 3 - 5. would that be a problem to this CVT like u guys mentioned?

If already in high speed can just switch to Low gear?

was parking in open-air car park today... got 3 hybrids in a row... my IN2 in middle, another white IN2 to my left, and a silver Prius in the right.

of all 3 cars, some passers-by stopped and was looking @ my car (probably wondering if the DRLs i pasang comes w/the car or not biggrin.gif).

not bad. of all 3 hybrids, mine catches their attention. aisehhhh....

Plenty of silver insight in stock now. I found out that these cars didnt just got off the boat from Japan but came with the first batch before the big quake. Its just that some parts are missing and needs them to complete the car. Dunno how true is this though. Maybe its not completely CBU as claimed. Parts like seats, tires, all pasang here?

btw which tires are "better" - the Dunlops or Bridgestone?

It is pending for insight battery.

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 ?

I noticed some MADE IN THAILAND PARTS such as those plastic covers...my bridgestone Turanza seems to wear out fast...maybe its off softer compound..

Turanza softer compound = quieter, worn faster
Dunlop 2030 harder sidewall = noisier but fun at corners

Sure or not? Out of thousand parts on the car, how come the core part ie. battery can be left out?
They might be waiting for the carpet. I notice the carpet were courtesy of honda malaysia (got tag below).

Mudflaps: source the Jazz/Fit mudflaps. Its about ngam.
Boot tray: Original Honda rm400
Side step: Original Honda rm300 plus labour (without labour rm280)
Steering leather wrap: Cheaper if you bring to your nearest seat wrapping/interior shop, ask them to wrap. Around rm80 i heard. Not yet doing mine.
