Hi guys.. I suppose to receive my car yesterday. Somehow my SA told me failed to submit Tax via online?? Not able to get the Hak Milik Letter? So can’t go to JPJ for inspection???  Last Tuesday he told me that the car is already arrived in their store room and I may come to collect it yesterday, but he gave me those excuse when I arrive his showroom with no call to inform. My feeling was so down since yesterday after a long wait. From Tuesday till yesterday, the tax failed to submit? WTF!!! Anyone know what is the tax he mention or just bluff me?

He also convinced me that he will try to submit it Monday early morning and if everything goes smooth, probably will get my car by Tuesday/Wednesday...  As you guy know, I'm already waited the car since 5th Dec booking. What can I do if he still finding excuse to 'entertain' me? Should I make complain to Honda Malaysia?

Did you see your car once you were in the show room?

Just received call from my SA, the reason of the tax cert not approve is due to the IMA battery with this new batch which installed with Civic hybrid battery. There are 8 insights in their store facing this issue due to shortage of insight battery. He said I will receive a letter Honda Malaysia these few days on the delaying. Either wait for insight battery or new batch with the right battery.  Really bad luck for me... sad.gif

Actually, I don't buy this as well....

1) The size of the batteries, do they physically fit each other?
2) If assuming that it does fit, does it function better/poorer? Civic Hybrid 1st gen's battery or are we talking 2nd gen Civic Hybrid??
3) Assuming it's all true, it fits, and functions better, and QA Honda releases it.
4) Why would the Msian customs block it??

Seems like got cars jor, my SA called me up too, same date, june 15.

Not sure if it's the same batch as urs 'civic battery batch' but, mostly will be I guess...

Anyway, that's quite impressive to hear if toyota is offering more discounts for the customers whose cars are delayed by the quake.

Cant blame them, but if they do give more discounts, all the more power to toyota... aih, too bad prius out of my budget tongue.gif

The official reason is not that.

It's part shortages in japan.

He's just replying to a rumour/news from SA on insight being fitted with civic hybrid batteries bulat bulat causing gomen to hold the cars in port klang due to specification issues??, which I dont think makes much sense..

This morning made a complain to HM, the officer also said this is unusual for waiting 6 months and he will check with the dealer/SA.. 2 hours later, my SA called and told me car will be ready to collect next week.

Yes I was referring to the mainframe of the seats being same.
As both seats have the same plastic back support and design.

Yeah , RM2K++ is for the entire seat. No parts separately sold as the seat is from Japan. So if order have to order the whole thing, well thats what I was told la, as I enquired if they would replace the faulty part inside, or would they replace the whole seat. They gave me the whole seat at the end.

Sorry do not have a close up picture of the faulty part, but the picture I took was the faulty chair.

Hi, worrying to hear and see such things happening.... what were your loads for the back seats then?
Just normal ~70kg to and fro?

If new car of 3 months, start having this problem... imagine, changing the seats every 3 months sleep.gif

Did you make an official complain to them or not? If they're just replacing a problematic part with another faulty in design part......

My SA has bank in a cheque to me from HM on the battery change, because the dealer already paid first so that they can change the battery for me earlier. Now I will need to transfer back the money to the SA.. weird right...  hmm.gif
1. Why the dealer need to pay first to get the battery.
2. Why the cheque is to me not to the dealer.

Hi Lucky, sorry to see u still in this situation
Whats wrong with your SA actually? I'm seeing truckloads of insight moving along the highway here and there.

I've already gotten my car last week. No such stories of batteries and what not...

I'll be super cautious, to the point of giving him all 1s in the survey.

Insight fuel saving drive tips?

Do you all just drive normally? I noted driving normally, the IMA doesnt kick in as much.. and resulted in less than max fuel econ.

One trick i noticed is, if u accelerate until say 70km, and u back down the pedal to 65km and u hold.. the IMA assist will almost 100% be triggered, and it'll run in pure battery mode.

But, feels very leceh to do this speed up, pull back trick all the time.

Others, can u all share how u maximise ur fuel econ?
