white is nicer than silver for sure.

me saw the silver and instant regret buy the white, straight ask my SA change tukar car ka? blink.gif have you noticed a 'tak' sound when start to accelrate? its it aircond? and till now, i never notice any jerking, only 'tak' sound which can be annoying when i m paying attention.

i notice that battery, when low, will charge itself even go uphill.

i was told by SA that new jazz is coming with sam insight engine 1.3cc hybrid and CVT, price around 80k.

i was thinking the same thing when the shop taukey explaining the benefit of that product...

just wonder if this controller can make our insight jump from 0-100 in 5 sec...  icon_idea.gif

if not worth it, my money then may goes to new headlight or HID kit...  brows.gif

if cinapek taukeh is right, then Honda Japan must be stupidest company in the world for not adding a $600 gadget that will make its cars go 0-100 in 5 sec. Likewise for the other manufactuers and F1 teams.

thanks for the advice.. I think I'll go for wireless
but looking around few shop around jb, the cost of installing wire + lcd monitor may cost me around RM400  rclxub.gif
if wireless....  shakehead.gif 
better buy it from garage thread and DIY...  smile.gif
I thought normal for insight to have whistle noise... the wind noise became worsen after I installed door visor...
or perhaps your noise is differ from mine

here is an example of noise produced by my insight
feel free to waste 3:39 minutes of your life...  biggrin.gif



by the way, in that video, currently I'm using stock lamp, will the extend/length of light shoot further with HID?
HID nowadays only cost RM1++ only.. china-made of course  rclxms.gif

stock.. nothing extra.. =)
car little bit unstable at high speed..
but I used to it..  icon_rolleyes.gif
and from my opinion as frequent traveller btw JB & KL,
some stretch of the road you will feel the car unstable and some wont..
maybe because of "angin lintang: thing?  hmm.gif

and mostly, from KL to JB, lot of climbing...
so basically, when you speed up, you wont feel much...

and when I'm approaching near lorry/bus... usually I will brake a bit and hold my steering tight..  tongue.gif
vacuum effect is kind of scary...  sweat.gif

FC?  tongue.gif

now almost everyday my battery can go to lowest or empty level.. if this is more frequent, it's not 'IMA'.. it's wasting petrol to recharge it

as i know the IMA will recharge itself when empty, saw it happen during my many uphill drives.

as for the aircon filter, the original come with the car filter, does it come with charcoal? if it so dirty at 10k km, it means the road you drive on, is dem dirty.

question :

(1) im clocking 20,000 km soon. is it necessary to change the cabin filter, can we refuse to change? my filter still ok.

(2) do u guys noticed that everytime the fuel is low, the performance of the car dropped (noticed this happens 3 times now).

(3) i have err..thrashed the car until i can hear the swirling sound of the motor whenever i accelerate. but today, the IMA is hardly charging/assisting. the charging is there but only at 1/3 mark of the charging, even if i apply braking, the charging meter stuck there. the same goes when i accelerate, the meter shows only about 1/3 of assist, and whenever i pressed the pedal some more, the assist when south to charging and the rpm shot up to 4,000 rpm. mangg..this is so uncool..seems like the power lost. have i damaged the IMA?

(4) when i switch off the engine, i hear a clunk sound from the rear bonnet, i think its the ventilation for the ima battery pack. but the clunking is quite audible this time, not before. something wrong? or this is normal with u guys?

(5) now the car runs on fc so bad i can only get 16km/l. seems like im relying on the engine 90% of the time. could it be that the current hot weather affects the IMA?
can someone pls enlighten me.

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.

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.

do you even know the difference between both cars? rclxms.gif
