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

It is pending for insight battery.

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).

Thanks watonk. My SA (Sumber auto) previously told me to wait for few months to get the cheaper version (somewhere at seapark) for the boot tray and side garnish, that was in March. After getting my car, sms also dont want to reply, haih.

If source for jazz/fit, have to buy from honda ka? Any other place in PJ reasonable and durable ?

For me its a combination of '0' tax (though HM making more profit out of it), CBU, Fuel economy and best of all, trying to preserve the world for future generation.... biggrin.gif
199Nm of torque. That is better than Camry 2.0 u know.. somemore Insight have lighter body... drool.gif
I'm not that technically sound but imho, shift to 'S' for rapid acceleration is better than stays at 'D'.
Our CVT are using clutch pack at its driven pulley. It doesnt use torque converter at input shaft. This setup helps improve efficiency by eliminating power loss at torque converter and improve smoothness.
However, dragging the car at D will results more 'slips' on its hydraulic control clutch packs as the computer will always try to get its highest infinite ratio and at the same time increases load on its belting.
While S will limit the gearbox to its lower ratio hence better pickup, less clutch slips and less load on belting. That was also the reason why they recommend us to shift to L for extreme climbing.

2 types of failure in City CVT last time was worn belting (though it steel) and worn clutch packs. And most of the CVTbox failure were happened to earlier batch City which Honda Malaysia themselves mistakenly use normal ATF during service that time (back in 2003-2004).

Hope they've already learn their lesson...

Very technical explanation on the D vs S drive thumbup.gif
But in layman term, can we maintain S drive on highway at high RPM cruising @ 130km? ? Cause I have tat mentality that S drive is low gear only...
