3000 still consider less and all spare parts are fully imported.

We all know the car jerks. But I drive like a jerk now. Heck, I drive my Kenari faster than I drive my Insight.

Is it just me or are all Insight drivers obsessed with hypermiling? Even driving at 70 - 80km/hr on highway, I always manage to overtake a lot of Insights. I think we are the reason for traffic jam in KL now.

Cheers from fellow jerk in a jerky car.

infact if I drive normal I get better FC compared to drive like a snail...

the computer onboard function to tell you if you over accelerate and be gentle on your throttle not drive like a snail...

it is to train you to press the accelerator in pace insted of slamming it to the floor...

there is a difference of driving eco style and driving slow... and slow doesnt mean fuel efficiency....

Bro...

Find me a made in japan car for rm99k then we talk
A city is a whole different car...
People who buy insight wanted to do their part on saving energy and fuel also this car is handsome :-)

kns, so busy until no time to troll LYN nowadays.

Got my trophy @ 7800 km months ago...but didnt manage to capture. It just pop out of the blue. I remember joshua bro got his trophy also around 7500 km. You can choose to reset them, but didnt bother to do it.

Nice stuff medklinn! Have one at home, but not for car interior. Definitely helps, especially I'm a sinus guy 

Just to share my FC observed for the past 6 months:

Previous service - 10km
Next service - 15km

Trip detail to work - 45km one way (from Port Klang to Mutiara Damansara). Use NKVE, exit @ Subang Interchange. So averagely is 40% highway, 60% city (I dun consider LDP as highway btw)

FC with ECON - 20-21 km/l
FC without ECON - 18-19 km/l

All of this are observed between home and working place. I'm driving normally like my previous ride (1.5, manual) albeit more manipulation of momentum & medium throttle to 70-90km/h from idle, so I'm mostly in blue and dark blue zone from 0-70 (I dun crawl like snail and maintain green zone). Average speed on highway is 110-120km/h. Occasional WOT to 4k rpm for overtaking. (5k rpm with S mode).

So in summary, the FC largely depends on the right foot, type of journey covered and momentum manipulation. Oh yea, please monitor your RPM as well, it helps. Sometimes highway also can experience stop and go traffic ( NKVE  ), or smooth city driving, and these affect FC reading.

One thing worth to take note of our Insight RPM:
100km/h - 2000 rpm
125km/h - 2500 rpm

So it is still fuel-efficient to maintain speeds between 100km/h to 120km/h. Even myvi and vios can only reach 80km/h @ 2000 rpm (also observed from my sisters' cars)

My brother told me the price for his Golf GTi is only 50 something thousand as stated on his AP. It is the same as Insight's. Imagine in countries where there is only low tax imposed on cars, it would be more affordable to own a Golf. Insight might have better FC, but it has high running cost. Golf Tsi has very good FC and somewhat lower running cost.

hmm, i dunno how much tax is imposed in UK, but one of the Golf is selling for 18k+ Pound there... slightly cheaper than our Insight

You can get golf from 15k in UK if I recall correctly. Insight is not popular there due to the high price tag and tight competition of Prius  if I could just throw a few thousand and get Prius instead lol.

Fiat's Twinair definitely is worthy of praise. And OMG, its so cute.

In America, they do offer tax rebates for earlier batch of Leafs/Leaves. Not sure if they still offer that rebate. I heard drivers had anxiety attack due to the range limit. Its because of America's 110VAC supply causes a longer charging period and by the time it leaves home, it wont be fully charged.

Shift to R. It wont auto stop then...

Else fail, put in P or L? Do consider R 1st though.

U cant fix it... it's a design fault

its a feature its not a bug

I have to squeeze in my car porch and the engine stops and starts too often but just now with the Econ off, it moved without stopping.

The audio system is just so so. I have been advised not to strain the battery and the computer system by adding extras, such as an Amp. Anyone tried without affecting the lifespan of the normal battery or is it too early to tell?

I was kidding when I mentioned shifting into R. You should try L!! I got mine 3 days b4 you, how long did you wait? I got the Insight after getting sick of waiting for my Fiesta. I waited 2 and a half months.

I was thinking what a crazy idea    wondered how many cars you kissed.      I didn't wait long. The car had just arrived on  the 10th and placed a booking on the same day. Car was ready on Wednesday but I collected on the 16th.
Unig was right.
And to Calvin, I am okay with the bass but the fidelity is below my expectations. Any difference in FC and performance after installing the active sub. Technically, I believe extra load to the electrical system may void the warranty. Solutions?iPod?
