highly depend to where u drive. if always in a short distance and move n stop...i believe any car also will have bad fc.

for me in melaka town, my average travel distance around 15km each time and having a lot junctions, bump ...etc My average full tank still around 520km

for me the fc is a lot better compare to my x-car kelisa auto biggrin.gif

during the holiday was travel to langkawi from klang.
klang -> kuala perlis with constanly 110-120kmh able to get 19.6km/liter
kuala perlis -> klang with 130-140kmh + 170kmh for awhile, able to get 18.53km/liter

overall car handling very good and very nice to drive esp the downhill part at perak area.

now come to the bad part:
-tyre noise really not acceptable esp on the cement road
-climb hill time can feel it underpower (cant comment much on this since only 1300cc)
-after 140kmh, accelaration to top speed is slow (econ off)

Just get my car from 5k service. Complain to them about my front passenger door issue.they get it adjust and it a lot more easy to open the door now.

Ask u all about the free service, as I recall last time my friend city free service he only need pay the washer price.but for us, the washer is free but we need to pay the engine oil cartridge?

In U.S. cycle, the 2012 Honda Insight Hybrid will be able to provide at least 46 mpg. In fuel economy comparison, the 2011 model is rated at 40 mpg city and 43 mpg highway.
http://carguideblog.com/20243/2012-honda-i...g-improvements/

10-15% additional fuel savings on the facelifted insight :'( 46 vs 40....

Anyway, the official stated milleage for insight is 18.28km/l for highway... so those of us getting 20 on average city+highway.. that's really good figure already!

Also, auto cruise, how often do you make use of it?
Any possible cons to using the auto cruise multiple times in a trip?

Just using my feet only to maintain a constant speed is not very efficient, as it'll go +- 2km mostly... and it goes into acceleration/recharging mode much more often than I intended..

As a result,

I'm starting to use cruise whenever possible, in roads that'll allow for at least 10 seconds stretch... in city driving. What about you guys? How often you use the cruise mode? Guess most of you are in KL, n in highway, cruise is definitely used. How about city driving? Got cruise?
*
i only use auto cruise when at highway and not much car in front. in city drive i felt is dangerous to use and manual also state this. so pls dont try to save more petrol n danger others ppl life.

for highway, sometime i do feel is better to control by ourself. for example if u travel around ipoh highway with a lot of uphill one. the auto cruise will try to match the speed and it will rev the car quite high during climb hill. Else on normal straight road it always a nice feature to use the auto cruise, but dont fall into sleep then is ok already biggrin.gif

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 smile.gif
*
yeah..that is most of the shop did smile.gif
so how? replace or leave it?

replace then get new one but no car to use maybe 1-2 days (replace windscreen + tinted + some risk of leaking in future is workmanship not good)

no replace then the windscreen insurance burn like that...

the product seem interesting...searching around i get this email from kia forte forum permanon.my@gmail.com

from his reply,
"The package including a 35 ml concentrated Permanon Supershine and a 120ml Brilliant Shampoo. The price is RM88.00. Forum member price is RM78.
For cars like normal sedans e.g. Forte/Civic/Altis, we recommend using 20ml for first application, and 15ml for 2nd application of Supershine. If you wash your car regularly with BrilliantShine (which itself contains small amount of Supershine), the 2nd application only needs very little Supershine. The Brilliantshine 120ml will last approx 20-30 washes"

maybe bro calvin_ng can confirm this.
btw he do posting with RM10 fee or COD at Bangsar South KL/Old Klang Road.
n he gave this link on the product review http://www.live2detail.com/showthread.php?t=2255

The starting package include bottle as well? Just spray the whole car that simple? No need to dry it also?
Very interesting
