I do not have any noticeable wind noise on my Insight. Have tried it at 100 - 170 km/h without problems. Cabin noise relatively quiet. Definitely NVH is better than the Honda City
Your insight may have some leaking problem at the windscreen.
i think should be fine and able to accommodate but if wanna sit comfortably then there might be a problem for someone who is 175-180cm tall since the legroom and headroom is small.
Another problem will be the middle seat so you can only fit 2 tall passengers as the middle seat is bumped up abit
seriously for me no matter the rear seats are comfortable enough for adults to sit. just that for rear middle may not be very comfortable for taller adults. but definitely ok for normal size gal.
for me seats not a big issue, 99% of time i am driving alone.and i dun really like to fetch ppl also. therefore even crz i am fine with it.
i see.. cos it might serve as a family car later on, so i think it would be better to let my family seat comfortably as well..
if family car consider city, civic or accord instead.
i drove my NHC for 1 yr before upgrade to insight. the seats are spacious enough for 5 persons.

comfortable even for long journey for 4 person. the rear middle seat is ok for short journey and normal height person. anyway, there is not much boot space for luggage for 5 person long journey trip, so i guess the 5th seat was really designed for occasional use.
yeah for boot space, insight indeed much smaller. my previous NHC is indeed damn big. even 5 persons luggage also more than enough.

After 15K KM service, you will noticed the battery charge full at much faster... even drive on a staright road (not highway) i can get my battery full charge... weirdo..
Looking forward for CRZ next year....
is it? ic. now 7xxxkm milleague progressing to third stahe.
It is Wiper Rubber Refill, and I think they are referring to changing the rubber part of the windscreen wiper blade.
ic. that's good for those models applicable, at least 30% discount now. but i had driven NHC previously for 1 yrs 4 mths still no need to change that. think can last quite long.
i find that discussing about FC is not really meaningful as the different reasons (driving styles, road condition) can impact the outcome. there is no pt when some tell u that he/she can achieve better FC.
Especially all of us are driving the same brand same model of car. the FC may still vary but definitely bare minimum as all are driving the same car.
Went to Kah Motor Puchong Service Center (the one near the Tesco Puchong U-Turn flyover) to do my 10k service. Mentioned to the service advisor that my car have a quite a loud and prominent whistling sound coming probably from somewhere behind the dashboard on passenger side when driving at around 100km/h. No sound before 100km/h and the sound also disappear after 110km/h. The sales advisor say will get technician to drive out and test, so service will take longer than usual (he mentioned 1 and a half hour).
Walking around, I noticed my car was actually parked in the parking lot most of the time (only went into the workshop for about 20 minutes). I waited close to 3 hours and still car not ready so I go ask whether it's ready. The service advisor told me technician did test drive but did not hear any whistling sound when driving at 100km/h so ask me to come back and check again if I still hear the sound. I was wondering how come the car could have been driven out of the service center for the test drive without me noticing it, maybe I actually overlooked.
Now come the disappointing part, when I get into my car and start the engine, I noticed the milage at the MID was exactly the same reading as when I send in the car! I was like, wow, they can bring the car to 100km/h in less than 1km mileage recorded in odometer?
I didn't know Kah Motor Puchong have a wind tunnel facility inside them to test wind noise at high speed without the need of actually driving the car into highway, or, they actually have the capability to reset my odometer back to original mileage after their test drive.
I supposed service engineers normally felt car owners are just fussy, wind noise during high speed is a normal thing and a lot of the complains are just psychological effect of the car owners always wanting their car to be in perfect condition, and since it is under warranty, car owners will complain on every small things they could find.
I was in hurry so I do not have much choice and I did not make a fuss out of it, since I had wasted 3 hours sitting down there assuming they actually took my car out for test drive.
thanks for the advice.. I think I'll go for wireless but looking around few shop around jb, the cost of installing wire + lcd monitor may cost me around RM400 if wireless.... better buy it from garage thread and DIY... I thought normal for insight to have whistle noise... the wind noise became worsen after I installed door visor... or perhaps your noise is differ from mine
here is an example of noise produced by my insight feel free to waste 3:39 minutes of your life...
by the way, in that video, currently I'm using stock lamp, will the extend/length of light shoot further with HID? HID nowadays only cost RM1++ only.. china-made of course
nite time still cruise at so fast speed.......

Got the same problem from first day took the car back. Loud whistling sound at 100kmh. It came about for a while and disappeared. I thought it was cross wind or something coz it was loud (definitely not tak, tak, tak). Maybe structurallly something different due to low drag coefficient. Most of the time, the sound is not there so not sure to complain or not. Every once in a while still got.
Hey, since everybody's so freak out about the battery, i might just start a company to supply batteries to all insighters after 5year warranty is over. Probably wont make money coz the battery suppposed to last up to 15 years or more. By that time the battery will be a few hundred bucks or something like that, ha ha. All chicken about nothing.
for me i dun bother so much abt the battery, before 3 yrs warranty up i will have changed my car already.
