was about to enter main road from the junction, full throttle, IMA showed full assist, but the car was not moving..
VSC light was blinking...
maybe did wheel spin on some "lopak air" there and the car detected something was wrong and activated VSC.. sweat.gif

but, what exactly VSC does anyway? hmm.gif

VSA issit? don't remember seeing anything written as VSC on my dash. If VSA, that's vehicle stability assist.

Perhaps you should ask at the Honda city thread. Anyway, the news I got is this April, facelift version.

By the way, Insight 1.5cc 2012 is coming this end of Feb (Probably Mar).

Prius c is a different segment car. Its a jazz competitor and we best look at the spec sheet before deciding.

1.5l with 78hp. Overall a weaker drivetrain and smaller car.

that is the characteristic of atkinson engine...the engine output might look small but the electric motor is far more powerfull than insight one (on paper spec).

For sure, people looking to get a hybrid will take a hard look on prius c. Not like last year... we dun have a choice... but only Insight.
Anyway not regret! thumbup.gif

I still think insight 2012 looks nicer. But performance wise, I'm not sure as Prius c should b using the same technology as Prius which is already very good (correct me if I'm wrong).

Last Sunday drove from Seremban to KL

Top Speed : 200KM/H
Yes to my surprise this 1.3 can push to 200KM/H

my friend E92 BMW 320 was quite surprise a puny 1.3l engine can keep up with that car...

cannot overtake laa but at 200km/h it is awesome fast for a 1.3!!!

The VSA probably saved your life/injuries or your car from a hefty makeover biggrin.gif
Means as you say just now, your car will lose control/over/understeer and u'll most likely crash to the sides without it.

Interesting to see fellow insighter saying their VSA getting activated....
This alone is worth the extra 10k, vs city which iirc don't have VSA!

Even normal driving, Insight handles better than average sedan. With VSA even better. I remembered triggering TSC more frequently on my old Altis compared to VSA on the Insight.
