One end of the cable goes into your headphone in on your phone and another goes into the aux in on your car.

I just got 25.4km/l KL - Seremban-KL with three stops and average speed about 90KM/H. RON95. Sorry for the dust.

nice one...with ingisht..can go futher...

Just came back from JPJ wangsa maju, the tint failed the test, it's 56% front and 36% side/back.

Then went to star blaze to remove the tint, go back JPJ to test again, 73% front and 71% side/back.

Tomorrow going back to starblaze to tint again.

i have griffin aux cable with mic



it is quite handy for the aux cable to be in the front of the car so i can do something like this



The button can be used to answer calls. The mic work flawlessly. just that sometimes might need to raise up voice a bit if the other party cant hear clearly due to the distance between the mic and me.

u compare insight with myvi? OMG

Hi guys..

Been busy for quite sometimes... so where were we?

I've clocked my Insight over 20k. So far zero complain, and the car seems smoother and more refine as days passed by. The engine felt lighter. The suspension holds its qualities very well.
I've fully utilize the car, full throttled it, thrash it, going places with it all the way to north and east coast, so far no problem and i fully satisfied with this purchase.

Now i have convinced myself that the hybrid technology is really relevant. I used to think that these hybrid etc is just 'gimmick', if not because of my other half really liked the car, i wouldnt buy it last March.

Still early to conclude, since the IMA battery still strong. I might change my opinion next time if the car breakdown etc.
Or I might face difficulties to choose my next car; at least it have to be as economical, coz i already used to travel 600km++ for RM60. The only choice might be ct200. Time will tell.

nice, i never doubt that.

just that someone was saying 20km/l in unachievable.

After election, petrol raise to 230 for 95, then all will buy hybrid..

Hybrid works. Just that in our subsidised price, not much effect is felt by us.

Imagine ur ron 95 is 230 cent...

i tried not to interfere, but sometimes abit too much la..

i also test drive the insight and the altis 2.0.

dont say feel, even the 0-100 numbers clearly shows which is faster.

he can go ahead buy Myvi...

I think he can compare Myvi meter is better than CR-Z meter too

Why not? I used to clocked 30+ km/l in a single journey.

i'm comparing the quality of the material from my opinion... this is free country, free speech..

not to say to insult the insight owners here, but the meter should be not like 'sticker' meter on the tachometer... maybe upgrade to LCD panel screen meter alike...

Bro.... Insight meter uses LED lah it is very similar to Odyssey meter (lower cluster) the top tier is 3D display

hahaha...i still very proud of my car dashboard
i saw civic and prius one...they look so .....

but the crz one really too fancy for me. i only want the red color from crz. if we shift to S then change to red, then will be so cool....hahaha

have to altis is faster

Bro, how did you do that? Roll down all thw way from Genting? Hehehehehe...

Ok on serious note, I am not sure if the indicator is 100% accurate. In Kl driving I get about 620KM for RM55 with another 100 plus km to go.

Today, I was trying my best to go above 25km/l and it just refuse to go up easily but once I reach Sg besi High way and MRR2 I drove like normal cars with many blue speedo but it quickly reach 25.4KM/l. Maybe, quick accelaration and go easy on the gsd pedal saves more fuel than gradual acceleration. I read something to the same effect in some hypermiling article.

Here is my screen for the three stops.

everyone has their own opinion about this car - for me, i'm very happy with the meter. judging from the response of other bros here, seems like most are happy with their car dash/meter console.

Achieved 25km/l on city driving with Ron 95. Perfect condition, all traffic lights turns green just as I get to it.. Yeah one of those days where everything is perfect

Average, realistic figure is, city+highway, 20km/l is definitely achievable.

Naughty a bit, and I'm still getting avg of 19.5km/l

To Chan.
Short answer, u can say your fuel savings will at least ngam ngam cover ur battery cost, if unfotunately, u need a full replacement. (worst case scenario) Chances are, you won't and u'll need +ve in the end.. maybe not much to make it a 'significant' money making scenario.

Long answer.
Compare other things... Forte... no comment la, really good car for the price. If they have Forte hybrid with d tax exemption, I'll sure get!!!
But, it's korean car (perceived low resale value), and i dun fancy the design.
Heck, before I buy mine, I was waiting for the new Avante... but they din bring in fast enough, still not bring in now... :/

But if u compare with t/h u'll get a nice car for the most bang of your bucks.

Summary
FC Battery replacement cancels each other. (At 1.90 per liter) At more than that, or u're a 97 user, u'll net gain

Your 10k extra vs city, vios.
> Fully imported frm japan
> Safety features, vsa as mentioned
> Cruise control
> Auto wiper/lights.. fancy things only..
> When you close your car door, you get the very reassuring 'THUD' instead of even my friend's altis which feels light, vios city... uhm not much comment on those... havent been in one lately for a while
> NICE DASHBOARD!! Colourful, definitely something u'll come to miss when you drive another car after this.
> Good, sound system
> Steering control buttons, which entry civic also dont have.
> Glasses have built in heat reduction feature, u can save some on the tints... go with lower ratings.

Other intangible/negligible/spiritual benefits,
Regenerative braking... less need for physical braking, prolong life of ur braking system/no need replace so frequent?
Saving the world~
Added ++Turns you into a hypermiller, prolongs ur tires life

Balance it out with some negative comments.
No autolock
Autolight can be a CON too... if u care about offing lights before u start car engine. Leaving it in auto, will lights up before u hit ignition
Rear headroom. Rear passenger headroom, spotty.. 6 feeters will have uncomfortable ride. Made in japan car, intended for japanese sizes?
Middle seat not for 5.7/8 feeters.
Back view can be funny/obstructed, with the beam blocking (the facelift version improved this a bit)
Auto stop, can be annoying, if it goes into autostop, just at the precise time u want to move, you'll get a jerk as it stops, and immediately restarts.
Some comments from other ppl, who say auto stop and on the air cond, put extra strain on the Air Cond... as it stops, and on and stop and on, higher risk of spoilt/failure

bro.. nice comment here and thx for these all. u know u r poisioning me and i just can't wait for test drive
