QUOTE(watonk @ Feb 17 2012, 06:22 PM) Deluded and poor huh? I would say yes it justified to spent an extra RM40 for a Prius if you have the cash for it. You get what you pay for in here with Prius vs Insight. I notice you mention in Malaysia but not IMO there are more Prius on the road in the UK than the Insight even the difference with £4k (RM20k). I afraid Honda start to lose battle on hybrid tech yrs ago.After gone through the real product (Prius & Insight), extensive test drive, scrutinize the fit & finish, observe real world FC for Insight (http://www.fuelly.com/car/honda/insight/2011) and Prius (http://www.fuelly.com/car/toyota/prius/2011), and compare their price, nothing can justify the purchase of a Prius over Insight in Malaysia. Unless buying the badge. Not that brand loyal no good. Only its kinda..... deluded Yeah Prius is a better hybrid. But RM40K just cant justify that (with plastic rim covers some more Come on guys. U guys should be better than those in Inspira vs Forte, Vios vs City, Saga vs Myvi thread. Go green together and respect others isnt too hard is it? I'm not a big Jap car fan, but I cant afford the petrol here. |

QUOTE(infi_nity @ Feb 18 2012, 12:33 AM) You're a real stupid idiot and one of the many deluded Honda Insight drivers who's too poor to own a Toyota Prius...there are many sour grapes like u around who would argue to the highest heavens that Honda Insight is a superior car despite: you guys buy hybrid car to drag race ah? hahaha. i like the prius of course between the 2 as the selection of power, eco and electric mode. Thats the kind of car i like, reason being when you are driving and feel like going a little faster, press power button, Sometimes when you are tired in a traffic jam, press electric. Or else when you like to just cruise around, press eco. or auto. which ever. 1) having a less powerful engine 2) unrealiable engine just like most Honda cars 3) Insight being a lame entry level car 4) Prius being a above C segment car 5) Insight having one of the most lousy interiors 6) Insight having one of the worst fuel consumption for a hybrid (FYI, Civic Hybrid has better fuel consumption than Insight) 7) Prius being acknowledged worldwide that it is the most fuel efficient car 8) Prius and Lexus CTH being powered by Toyota's Hybrid Synergy technology which is far superior than Honda's outdated/diet Hybrid technology 9) Insight having a most unreliable battery which konks out always...and before u scream at me crying "liar liar, pants on fire" here is the link to it: http://blog.e-kereta.com/2011/07/honda-civ...-in-ima-system/ Obviously, you have never sat in a Prius or a Lexus before or you would have known about a little something button called POWER MODE which will give Prius a 2.4 litre car performance...and ECO mode has low power??? dont be stupid, ECO mode's only function is to tweak your fuel throttle to being less sensitive and thereby preventing fuel wastage...you will still be able to fly, you just need to press the throttle down a little bit more... if you still insist on this obvious lie, let's u and me take our respective cars to a highway and i'll put my Prius on ECO mode and you crank up your lame Honda Insight (if that is even possible) and let's see which car bites the dust ok? dumbass Honda kid... Only thing i dont quite fancy prius, the interior, it is dark and gloomy. like in england. anyway, in our beloved malaysia. price of petrol is still cheap. yeah. wait till price per liter becomes, RM 5.00 or RM 8.00 per liter. you will rush out to get a electric or a hybrid as soon as possible. anyway bash me bash me if you like, but prius is still better than honda IMA. thats a fact. Yaya, the insight and CRZ has better power. Better fuel efficiency, As i say, you buy hybrid to drag race? where is the fun in that. |

QUOTE(khtan2000 @ Feb 18 2012, 03:31 AM) lol is this a prius c discussion thread or a thread for fanboys to whine about how great their ride is? This is what happen when owner of certain car felt their car much superior than others and start calling others dumb, stupid and poor.speaking of which, these hybrids are not even considered luxury ones to start whining about I say lets go green together but still... the reply is disappointing. The facts is both car is just average Joe's and only transition to better technology. Calling others stupid, but buying a cheapo hybrid with 15 inch plastic wheel covers @ 140K in Malaysia isnt that bright either. Infact, it has flaw that kills. In other market, trim-per-trim, price different is only RM9 - 10k. QUOTE(andrekua2 @ Feb 18 2012, 02:43 AM) There is not a lot of choices but not that ugly. Thats a trade off for a Japanese car. Either softly sprung and wallowy, or firmer setup for better handling. However, I do dislike one thing about Honda. Sometimes the ride is just too hard. We had one City FL and it is really hard. It was stolen and the next one we bought was the same but with a slight FL again which has softer seat but retain the suspension hardness. I went for Insight test drive the other day and was really surprised by the harsh ride. You can feel even the slightest imperfection of the road. Lets see how the facelifted Insight will fare against Prius C. I think the drive is quite good. Its silent and did not really feel the lack of power. The acceleration up to 100KMH was okay, not as sluggish as I first feared. Hope they get rid of the PE foam box (CHEAPO ICE BOX foam) in the boot for tyre storage. Not suitable if want to carry something heavy. U see, japs tune their suspension differently from conti cars. Germans for example, can tune merc Avantgarde suspension to be a good handler and at the same time comfortable enough for normal citizen. Japanese make usually use the cheaper setup, hence, some compromise have to be taken. Toyota is very good at stripping their suspension to be damn comfortable. Their suspension often flimsy and wallowy, with boatlike handling and excessive body roll in corners. This is the example of so called superior, luxury Toyota hybrid but equipped with fail suspension. The Prius suddenly lost control, hit 2 cars in front and slams into the barrier. Even worst, the so called luxury hybrid even failed to deploys their 7 airbags eventhough the driver was wearing seatbelt. Sadly, the driver die in that accident. So if u're an aggressive driver, choose other than Toyota coz similar kinda 'lost control' accident prone to happen. Vios, Avanza, used to have this risk.

I have a present for you. Shot from the best angle, featuring the ever-glimmering plastic covers... all the heat will be instantly forgotten... |

Aiyo ... come on ppl.. don't argue lar... both cars have their good and bad and there are bound to be supporters for either honda or toyota.
I for one is glad that in malaysia now we have a choice to choose. There isn't anypoint for anyone to justify anything since you guys aren't selling cars for the company.. But i think you guys helped alot to give a lot of facts and reasoning behind both companies technologies.. Its info like what you all gave that makes this forum worthwhile -MINUS- the hate you guys have. Just be peaceful k ? Lets go forward with more constructive comments. Accept each other's criticism and don't take it personal. I like how Honda and Toyota are positioning their hybrids... with so many hybrids coming into Malaysia now its kinda exciting!! I am in the midst of deciding which car to get... Insight/Prius C Honda Insight has its design, I kinda like the aerodynamic form.. nice dashboard meter but the rear headroom is a bit small to fit taller adults. I don't really care about power or what... after all most of us are bound by the 110km/h limit...right ? Toyota Prius / Prius C is nice as well! Nice Tech and nice entry price for the Prius C!.. It has its unique LCD dashboard design and interior. FC also nice but i kinda worry abit on how much the replacement battery would cost if it would to go down. Overall its a nice car. The only doubt i have is i still have yet to test drive this car and have a true feel to it. This post has been edited by Remedy: Feb 18 2012, 11:02 AM |

In my opinion, toyotas have better technology compared to honda in the hybrid world. My dad drives a Prius and my mom is waiting for the cvt crz. I have personally took a friends insight for a ride and to be honest, nothing compared to Prius ( in terms of ride stability and 'fun factor'. Of course though, the price difference is there. One thing about the new P C is that the dashboard sucks big time. No offense, I work as a designer and when I see designs like this, it's basically a face palm. The exterior on the other hand looks nice and sporty. What I am tryin to say is the P C deserves a much better dashboard but oh well, interior was never on of toyotas strong points.

plastic cover also want to make noise aa.pisses me off reading this kinds of arguments especially when the 'good guy' starts sputtering things he was criticizing from the start.
IMHO,the Prius is damn worth the extra 40k but saying so, that doesnt make insight buyer stupid or anything. at the point of buying maybe they want a hybrid and insight offered the cheapest price so why not? Back to the topic which is the prius c, if news on the reduced price is true than it will definitely be a game changer. its a well known fact that the HSD system is superior to the IMA in terms of fuel efficiency. and i just dont see why anyone would go for the insight after this unless if they are a honda fan (which i feel theres nothing wrong with it) or love the design of the insight. i keep seeing people commenting on blind loyalty to the brand.and i ask why not?different people different taste different opinion laa..u cant scold an old man who loved his wira so much he decided to get a persona even when he could afford a vios/city/fiesta/whatever? p/s:dont get me started on the ECO mode feeling lack of power. no amounts of face palm can help with that one. |

$40k is 21052 litres of ron 95, which drives gives 421040km. Which car have you driven for 421040km?
In fact, most young sor hais & trolls here haven't managed 200000km in their whole life time driving and can't even afford the downpayment for a Prius, still milking FAMA's money. This post has been edited by lunchtime: Feb 18 2012, 02:52 PM |

Very comfy and flying over those small bumps/potholes. Finding it hard to make myself brake for bumps down to 10kmh. |

Which car have you driven for 421040km? when you buy either hybrids, insight or prius, of course fuel economy is the highlight,but you cant really use the fuel savings as a gauge on how much u save on the cost of the car. I have friends who question if buying a hybrid is worth it since they did similar calculations to yours and that the return you get from fuel saving can never justify the price of the car. In fact, most young sor hais & trolls here haven't managed 200000km in their whole life time driving and can't even afford the downpayment for a Prius, still milking FAMA's money. My opinion is that these hybrids are considered 'premium' products for now and that explains the 'premium' price u have to pay. which is why i dont quite agree when you compare the 40k difference solely on the fuel savings.. Buy a hybrid if you want to enjoy the quietness and the fact that ure doing the world a favour 'eco' wise, enjoying yourself knowing how much fuel you are saving over a conventional car. plastic rims, glass rims, it doesnt matter does it?and cmon, im sure you're matured enough to leave the name-calling out of your post at least? |
