Dont you wanna try 195 1st? 205 on skinny rims could severely increase drag.

Welcome to the world of hybrid....

Anybody using fully syn and go for 10K interval?

Asked them to test drive. Or even better, ask them to refuel and use that fuel until deplete. They will cry for one.

Congrat on you ICE upgrade. Your setup almost similar to infinitium's.

Didnt bother about warranty. We warrant the car ourselves

Missfire? U got engine prob bro
The on-board FC computer is quite accurate and able to provide almost real time FC and accurate total mileage prediction.

Japanese not anymore clever than malaysian. Its individual + effort dependent. 1 negative attitude, japanese are suicidal. Other than that, their cautiousness on quality are better than malaysian. Something we need to seriously improve.

Dear Insight owner.

Please observe your front bumper. Yes its a bit sagging, obvious at the joint between fender and bumper. But do you notice the right side (left if you're sitting inside the car) sagged more than the other side (few mm). Its clear if you compare the gap between the bumper and headlights on both side.

I'm going to log a complaint and see where its going from there.

That 15k is your 3rd or 4th service?

Just got my Insight serviced @ Honda Glenmarie. .
I have enough faith for CBU car up to the extend i might get the maintenance to my own hands once i confirm there's nothing wrong with the car .

Me

I just notice that the IMA charging stops when the battery is fully charged

Going down quite a big hill recently.

Thats about rite. The only advantage in its brake is Creep Aid. The energy regeneration is reverse electric motor.

Its ok to varies the speed from 80 to 120km/h during engine break in. Dont stay at one speed only.

I think its somewhere under rear boot panel. right hand side if im not mistaken.

Me got but not as wide. Lets claim!


Only lacks that diesel clatter...

Welcome
If u maintain 160km/h, the number will be around 14.5 to 15.0 km/l

IMA battery usually will force charge once the meter showing half or less. Go for check up.

Maintain 75-80km/h without much stops, u can get 25km/l so theoretically 40liters can cover more than 800km

VSA and cruise should work simultaneously. Unless the driver panic.

Thank you for calculating that for me

Try finding longer way round with less obstacle to your office. The fuel cost might be the same

Its the glass that matter. The sensor (near rearview mirror) is an optical sensor and is always there. Using thinner or thicker glass and/or glass with different purity (cheaper) will affect the optical reading and render the sensor useless. The best thing to do, even if we quoted with cheap glass, asked them to guarantee that the sensor will work.

Irwan: Ayyo need to topup fuel. RM10 enoughlah.
Insight: RM10? really?
Insight: RM10 again? really?
Insight: RM20? Thats rite. I'll update the gauge.
Irwan: #%^&*%^#@T^!!
Insight: U can buy me cheap but i'm not cheap

Owners should make a complaint. I have personally called up a few service manager to convey my message.

Please go ahead. I believe not only all of us here, but our friend in City and Civic will also join the movement.

10k interval should be ok. Modern engine. For Insight, it should been longer than 5k interval as our engine shuts off when stationary. That alone saves plenty of engine operating hours and could extend engine oil life on specific mileage.

Hi guys..

Been busy for quite sometimes... so where were we?

I've clocked my Insight over 20k. So far zero complain, and the car seems smoother and more refine as days passed by. The engine felt lighter. The suspension holds its qualities very well.
I've fully utilize the car, full throttled it, thrash it, going places with it all the way to north and east coast, so far no problem and i fully satisfied with this purchase.

Now i have convinced myself that the hybrid technology is really relevant. I used to think that these hybrid etc is just 'gimmick', if not because of my other half really liked the car, i wouldnt buy it last March.

Still early to conclude, since the IMA battery still strong. I might change my opinion next time if the car breakdown etc.
Or I might face difficulties to choose my next car; at least it have to be as economical, coz i already used to travel 600km++ for RM60. The only choice might be ct200. Time will tell.

Why not? I used to clocked 30+ km/l in a single journey.

Bro, how did you do that? Roll down all thw way from Genting? Hehehehehe...

Ok on serious note, I am not sure if the indicator is 100% accurate. In Kl driving I get about 620KM for RM55 with another 100 plus km to go.

Today, I was trying my best to go above 25km/l and it just refuse to go up easily but once I reach Sg besi High way and MRR2 I drove like normal cars with many blue speedo but it quickly reach 25.4KM/l. Maybe, quick accelaration and go easy on the gsd pedal saves more fuel than gradual acceleration. I read something to the same effect in some hypermiling article.

Here is my screen for the three stops.

wahhhh....30++?? and also the bar reaches to the full...howdya do that my friend??

Its was a cold night, i didnt turn on the aircond. Around 10 km journey coming back from town. Engine warmed and just nice. Free flowing traffic without any stops. Not much of hill decent but i remembered optimizing the battery mode that night. As i arrive and hold on to auto-stop, i scroll the MID and found out i've achieved my best run.

I believe anybody can achieve the same results. Especially those Insight which have gone through some mileage with properly seasoned engine.

Prius publish their FC as 38km/l. Maybe they did similar run and achieve such result. But in real world Prius FC just around 20km/l.

i'm comparing the quality of the material from my opinion... this is free country, free speech..

not to say to insult the insight owners here, but the meter should be not like 'sticker' meter on the tachometer... maybe upgrade to LCD panel screen meter alike...

[/quote]

Ya i notice that when testing the car last time. That actually not sticker, but semi-transparent layer of blue and red with led/bulb behind it, which lit up when the car switched on. Some of us so used to plain/ bare meter with only white font and black background, so its hard to accept the insight coloured meter initially.

Excellent. Free wash. Not overfilling the engine oil. Balance oil automatically return to owner. Some SC need to ask for that oil if not they will keep for themselves.
