guys, my car already clocked 1200km mileage.. any service centre open till night around JB? my work's schedule starts from monday till saturday from 7am-5pm.. have no time to go for service... =(

claim for the coverage....3 months need to wait to order from Japan....

summore need to pay 300 deposit...

f*&^%$#...

all thos stupid speedy lorry drivers pls go die and rot in hell...

That is not acceptable at all. How can we drive without windscreen? Surely, the onus is on Honda Malaysia to stock adequate spare parts. drag them to consumer tribunal for not warning the customers that spare parts not available.

Which SC is this? Did you check with Honda Malaysia?

Lol cannot compare to mine la,I'm a bad benchmark, my driving style/condition not the best for FC. My home to office less than 2km with 2 traffic light and 3 junctions. Thus very low speed travel <40km/h and start stop condition. While on highway/longer travel distance sometimes I FLOOR the accelerator for speed of more than 160km/h or when accelerating/overtakin/ hill climbing

Thus my not so good FC

if full tank fully travelling with FC in mind on highway or for longer distance travel, I should definitely be able to achieve <4.7/100km.

Try pressing harder on the accelerator or set it on cruise control while climbing hill, You should see more assist when the car try to maintain the speed

wah, so near..ya i agree with your points. hehehe. i put the fuelly data just for discusion, comparing between those two fuels in terms of cost n savings. i cant say much about the performance though, because there are no benchmark that can be compared of.

when i think of it, yeah, RON95 is better than RON97, and our insight is an awesome fuel sipping machine. even with your driving style, u still manage 6l/100km. if i do that with my previous waja, that would be a disastrous 9-10litre/100km.

i'll try to press the accelerator harder, so far i have been light footed and very concious about accelerating..cannot turn blue, cannot turn blue..hahaha


sorry mate, if i made the reference without your consent.

good day.

already check with Honda Malaysia, they apologize and its their fault not keeping stocks as such important part as windscreen. Already filed complaints with them. They just said thanks and will improve for such case in future.

so all owners beware to take extra precautions for windscreen, there's no available parts from HM at the moment.

It's Peringgit Old Klang Road. HM said it depends on each dealer for such practice. Arghhh tension I don't know larrr...how to wait 3 monthsss!!!!

stupid Honda...nothing free service voucher or anything to make it up to me...F*(^(&#%$...

Eh, just wondering, since ur case is similar to mine.

Do you get to run pure IMA mode a lot? In your case, think ur avg speed travel to work is @ 30-40km/h

I find it hard to get ima mode on consistently with my footy....
When I do get ima to turn on, i already need to let the gas off for a corner :/

nope...don't have the patient to go pure IMA.. however it is still possible if I want it, the easiest way is to accelerate to 40km/h then lift your leg of the accelerator slightly, then press it by a little again.

haiz..both of us really bad luck yesterday...it happen to me as well...but my one was so tiny but noticable inside the car.
keksim...if not noticable then i still can ignore it.




so what you guys think? claim my windscreen or not? i assure 6k for it because the SC here say they able to include the tint as well.

I heard the windscreen cost RM7K!!!

no lar...my windscreen got some minor chips as well last week..thanks to those irresponsible lorry drivers spilling out the stones in the highway...went to dr winscreen to check if there's anyway to repair it...after they examined, they advised to leave it as it..no need to repair since there is no crack...during the conversation, i've asked if they could provide a windscreen replacement for my model just in case if needed in future and the price quoted is 2k+ only..originally imported from Honda Japan..

Windscreen cannot be so expensive. My SA told me it is about 4k. But if you get Honda Insight buddies from US to send it to us then the price is about US647. All in should not be more than RM3K. So the RM2k quoted above is a bargain. Link Honda Parts

cannot be, max rm4k to 4.5k.

I once had a small chip <1cm on my windscreen - brought to my windscreen repair shop. They said it was too small for them to submit a insurance coverage claim, so u know what they did?

They just took a hammer, whacked my screen, then took a photo. Submit that to the ins company as proof of damage. Now the hole damn big mah. Sure cannot say no to claims, right?

Very smart fellas

yah..that guy from dr. windscreen also advised me the same thing..ask me to get windscreen coverage next year
until near the expiry and no accident, can just send my car to them and they will replace a brand new one for me inclusive of tinting...as for the photo, they said can kautim for me, no need to use hammer..lol...hahhaha

but i did asked if the windscreen they gonna provide is original from Honda...apparently, the answer is yes and they have many partner vendors in japan to purchase and ship the spare parts for the recon cars(SLK, BMW, alphard, etc) as part of their business here...

please remember that our model of Insight windscreen comes with rain sensor.

sensor included...otherwise, it will be priced around 1k...just the same like for vios and city
actually, that guy also told me..if i were to fork out my own $$ for windscreen, can get a cheaper windscreen without the sensor or move the sensor to elsewhere
