so it has been proved that insight can do 190-200 but
1) how long did it take to reach 190-200? 2) was the engine straining at such speeds? 3) how long can it hold at that speed? |

Reading Paultan's post I felt like I have been ripped off by Honda. 2 airbags versus 7 airbags for only 3-4k difference.

Toyota cars have better paint job then Honda.... thats for sure...
And in term of comfort of ride, Toyota cars are better. Honda more towards performance and young generation.  |

I'm going to change my rims to 17" sport rims. Is it necessary to use light weight sport rims, or could be any type of sport rims?
Does it affect the warranty? Anyone knows? |

For me to reach 200km/h do not take that long... I still manage to keep up with 320i thats a bmw... that guy floor the BMW as soon it clear the seremban tol booth and I manage to keep up with him... not sure how fast to reach but good enough..
The rpm is boarder to redline as it is CVT so RPM will remain and maintain the higest safe RPM... |

But Prius C boot space only 260liters vs Insight 408liters. Insight folded rear seat 5xx liters.
I remembered one of my friend with small family (2 children) squeeze everything in the back of his myvi. Thats what happen on a 2xxliter booted cars. 2nd car it is. |

I just review the NCAP videos for Insight in youtube. The chassis of Insight seems more rigid compared to Yaris (Prius C base) though both scored 5 stars. However the tested Insight was the one with 7 airbags. I got the feeling honda will add more airbags & up the price.
For me, 2 airbags or 7 airbags, hope we wont have to use them. God forbid. |
