Hi Guys....

Do you think it's a good buy and value for Honda Insight 2011 if my mileage is mostly around 1000 to 1200 km and mostly for 95% city and 5% Highway ?

My budget is less than 100k...and Honda Insight is still within my budget or should i get Hyundai Elantra 2011 or Kia Forte 1.6sx both costs a few thousand less than Honda Insight ?

Is the maintenance high for Honda Insight cars ?

Thanks for the advise....  smile.gif

If you want to buy, don't put FC as the main reasons for it. At your 95% city, start and stop.... you FC will be more around 18km/l, + your low milleage to start in the first place, ur FC savings vs a 'normal' car is more like 20, 30 bucks per month.

And then you need to offset the much higher car maintenance... higher than accord at some major service point iirc
And ultimately, the battery replacement topic will come up also....

yeah, in terms of FC, my insight FC is definitely better than my city, for same distance traveled daily, i only need to pump petrol every 2 weeks while my city i need to pump every 1.5 week.

it is definitely better in FC, but dun expect too much. in the end with the free tax exemption from our gahment. it is still a worthwhile buying car especially it is CBU.

i bought it just because i like the look. thumbup.gif

depend how much you travel and where, it is very subjective all and on I can safely say insight will give you RM0.07 to RM0.10 per KM

Take a look at the venttec door visor for Honda Insight

http://www.venttec.com.my/ViewCatalog.asp?ID=49

http://www.venttec.com.my/ViewCatalog.asp?ID=70
Seem that the 4" is a bit "over" for the car...

There are 2 types - one is 3" and another is 4".
Price for 3" - RM190.00
Price for 4" - RM 240.00

What do you think?
