PG to KL in 3hrs... 1/2 tank @ 140km/h @ ~16.6km/L.... KL to PG in 4 hrs, slightly over 1/2 tank @ 100km/h @ 19.5 km/L (nonstop jam on way back)....

That type of tire possibly does not available in Malaysia,if you could find in KL, please inform us. i tried to search for it in my hometown when my tire puncture, but not available. I end up buying michelin XM2.

hi all insighters.. does anyone know where I can get the best price for mugen bodykit without spoiler and grille?

can someone tell me how good is insight for frequent long distance driving (JB - KL - IPOH). In terms of reliability and comforts when we drive at least 120 km/h. I assumed its fc is good enough to consider for long distance travel.

comfort & reliability compared to which car?

i drove PG to KL, and KL to PG... no complaints about comfort & stability. only small issue for me is the wind/road noise @ 120++.... gets a bit noisy.

Honda Insight year to date sales rank #23 with 2335units sold up to June 2011. Sales in June seen shot up high compared to prior month in view of production resumed back to normal.

Not impressive. Shall the maintenance cost is lower, more ppl will embrace the Hybrid technology.

The Insight is a very comfortable car for long distance. Generally speaking, I've managed to achieve around 19km/l with highway speeds around 110 - 120 kmh with some occasional speeds of 130-150 kmh. My trip was from KL to Singapore

Car handled very well and was general quiet. Not much tyre noise to complain about. It was also very stable at high speeds.

thanks everyone for the reply

how frequent you travel? when should I start to worrid for any major maintenance? Am pretty much concern on the reliability of the car due to frequent travel. Maybe its just my mindset that hybrid engine might be fragile compared with conventional engine.

its sounds good enough for me. would everyone suggest me to have one?

HELLLLLYEAHHH!!!! plus with our gov tax free for this car...why not? WE ARE ALL HAPPY OWNERS OF OUR HYBRIDS!!!

during the holiday was travel to langkawi from klang.
klang -> kuala perlis with constanly 110-120kmh able to get 19.6km/liter
kuala perlis -> klang with 130-140kmh + 170kmh for awhile, able to get 18.53km/liter

overall car handling very good and very nice to drive esp the downhill part at perak area.

now come to the bad part:
-tyre noise really not acceptable esp on the cement road
-climb hill time can feel it underpower (cant comment much on this since only 1300cc)
-after 140kmh, accelaration to top speed is slow (econ off)

have you tried in "S" Gear? should be much much better in that gear...=)
