Only 1 model is offered in Malaysia at the moment and it is an improved version of 2010 Honda Insight.
Selling price: RM 99,800.00 (OTR)

The list of changes are as following:
- Increased auto idle-stop duration, from 30 seconds to 90 seconds
- Increased ride, handling & stability due to adjustments to the recoil rate of the springs, a change of the rear camber angles and alterations to the V-shape rear suspension brace and adjusting mounts
- Dashboard and seat colours have been changed to give a more uniform finish
- Air vents are now surrounded by chrome and the door sills now feature a silver garnish
The detailed specification and major equipment list can be obtained from the Honda Malaysia website:

The cockpit features a simple, functional and educational layout, with a two-tiered instrument panel that is divided vertically, allowing you to easily access important information at a glance. In this arrangement, a digital speedometer is mounted high on the instrument panel within the driver’s normal line-of-site for ease of visibility. An analog tachometer, fuel gauge, hybrid assist gauge, and Multi-Information Display are housed in the lower tier.

1 thing i forgot to ask is the mileage interval for full sync engine oil
it seems like the mileage interval for semi sync oil could last for 5k only..which is the same as the typical mineral oil
*
Actually you may opt for full sync oil during the 5k and 10k services, but you have to pay the difference.

loonsave, dun worry nothing with u for starting the new version thread. why does it must be always started the same user. this should be a common thread to discuss abt the car, and not a private thread that "owned by someone" unless the so called "first mover" TS didn't do it for the sake of all benefits instead for his ownself.

I'm fine for it. since I just saw it's time to open a new thread, and no one take action, I just take the initiative. If this caused hard feeling to anyone here, I would apologize and not doing it next time. icon_rolleyes.gif

took delivery of my insight today  wowowooww can balik kampung Raya in new car  rclxm9.gif 

still looking for my driving position and how to put my things. where do you guys place your smartag, sunglasses & coins?  rclxub.gif

on the way back, with econ off, why autostop activiated? i tot autostop only when econ on.  has anyone change tyres to 205 from the existing 185? if so, was it better and how much mileage do you lose?
*
vroom vroom. Drive safe to back to hometown. I keep my smartag in the armrest. No sunglasses since I wear spec. Coin I keep it at the door compartment.

Autostop still engaged even econ OFF, but it would be that often compare to econ ON.

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.
*
I have no idea other Insight driver, but I drive normally on MRR2/LDP. Usually 90-120km/h.

Wait for this year budget announcement

Potong is going to launch their hybrid car. This make me to think that, the budget might impose tax on imported hybrid car and caused less people get Insight, and the hope to get cheaper spare part is lower.

there are more than 3000 insights sold already, our car is not rare any more. unless u intend to go outside service next time, if not, if u always go back to SC, i dun think spare parts will be an issue.  sweat.gif

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

just curious for most bros here who own the white insight, is it difficult to take care of the car? in terms of dirt etc?
*
same as bro mitmivec, should get grey or dynoblue. Hard to take care. Maybe need to do coating to protect it.

QUOTE(orbclyne @ Sep 25 2011, 08:57 PM)
I experience something new last week. My battery IMA battery is totally flat during traffic jam. Although the car totally stop, the Electric engine is trying to charge the battery itself, can hear the electric engine running, the assist meter also showing it is charging. I thought something wrong. Anyone had experience this?

This is interesting. So far never face this problem.

Actually the only thing I dun like about Insight is the aircond compressor cut off when engine auto-stop. Other than that, I have no complaint at all. I love every bits of it.

I just enter stage 3 this morning, and somehow the meter easily go dark blue while I drive like usual.

Anyone installed locktech here? Do they do wiring for the locktech to cut off the engine before unlock?
