QUOTE(turbocharged @ Mar 8 2012, 09:22 AM) That said, the C is a far, far nicer place to spend time than the loud, poorly trimmed Insight—which still reigns as perhaps our very least favorite Honda product right now. Far nicer place to spend time... oh man, ppl are gonna get mad  
poorly trimmed.. 
Nice writeups for the unbelievable Prius C  |

Those booking Prius C, make sure you carefully listen to the whining sound when the car slowing down or coasting to stop. Its the recharging stage and quite obvious. Some could accept it, some might not. Make sure u test drive the car. The 'vios' growl when u really push the car were also there but i guess most malaysian already used to that.
Road noise about par with Insight (and prius  ).This post has been edited by watonk: Mar 8 2012, 10:00 PM |

QUOTE(calvin_ng @ Mar 20 2012, 10:07 AM) no1. I did say Generally Hybrid car is much more quiet compare to non hybrid be it HSD or IMA U mean, those hate Honda is an old man? no2. Yes Honda Engine is more spirited well it is their DNA anyway some like it some dont... but generally if you rev all HONDA engine you will notice a certain ROAR from the engine it is design that way... some like it some dont... OLD folks dont generally thats why you see old people like Toyota more... no3. yep I insulted him.... Anyway, Prius C, as i mention earlier if u can get over that whining brake sound, its all yours. I cant get over my altis gearbox whining last time hence, change car. |

QUOTE(calvin_ng @ Mar 20 2012, 10:39 AM) Well generally one must admit and move on hahaha.... tell me you now prefer much more confortable / smooth and quiet ride compare to the good old days Fair comment. Some toyota lickboy would take it as 'pro comment' but its fair. where we buy car for handling / performance / sweet sound of the engine hahahaAdded on March 20, 2012, 10:41 amI think priusC has the boot space similar to Myvi maybe a little more same as Fiesta and Jazz this category car is suitable for secondary town drive car and not suitable for family outstation trip (maybe if you are single and not quite available you can use this type of car to travel outstation for luggage of 2 people) in this category those who hate hybrid can go for Polo / Fiesta Hatch / Jazz or Yaris... and for those who want HYBRID (ala tree hugger) have option for Honda Jazz Hybrid / Toyota PriusC and those who prefer a more sporty feel can have CRz and CT200h while Prius and Insight offer full boot space good for those who want to buy car as a Main family vehicle (ala primary vehicle) can have option for Toyota Prius and Honda Insight Everybody should witness and try this car.

QUOTE(lightning69 @ Mar 21 2012, 09:32 AM) My brother in law went to test drive the car yesterday and came back disappointed. Better try it yourself. I would say soundproofing prius c vs vios is about the same. But vios engine noisier for sure.Sound proofing very poor...can hear wind and tyres sound very clearly. Dashboard quality very poor and the very small cabin(smaller then Vios). Basically he said not worth it for Rm99K(in Sarawak). Also test Jazz hybrid, Insight, or include forte 2.0 and inspira due to price similarity (though their FC way off). Scouting for a new car is an exciting activities. To be fair, try cars from the same class or price back to back. You'll be surprise how a world class, well known manufacturer kid us with their strippedown model. |
