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

The side airbags are really important...
Wonder if we can send it to honda for 'upgrades'?

I wont mind paying more for it, as I consider it to be a crucial function... kinda disappointed why they have to cut features out.
If spread across 5, 6 years loan which we all do, what's a few k more for the 5 airbags?

Unless they say the air bags will cost 10k more.... which, shouldn't be la.

Yeah they should provide a safety pack upgrade or something like that for people who are willing to pay. I don't mind topping up another 5k to get 7 air bags then I can proudly say my Insight is comparable to the Prius C at least in terms of safety.

Scary. Yes extra airbags is most welcome but i prefer active safety in the form of better handling, wide viewing angle for driver, VSA, good brakes & natural driving position which could prevent collision much earlier...

Agreed, prevention is better but both the Insight and Prius C already have the same active safety features. Difference only in terms of number of airbags.

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

I own the Insight and I read about the Prius C. To me, safety is more important than anything else. Yes I know the Insight has bigger boot space, better leg room, more powerful petrol engine, better looks yada yada but only 2 air bags.... I rather be safe than to be in a bigger car with a bigger boot.
