inferior technology means inferior technology la...what some more u want to TC?
Honda Insight's biggest selling point as a hybrid is the price alone...if a person has money and has slightly more brains than yourself, Prius is the clear choice...

congratulations, you are the most stupid person in this LYN forum i think...
you have reached the level of Jessie Ooi, the Selayang BN coordinator...
if this thread was a televised event, you would find yourself insinuated with messages calling you all kinds of unsavory names, deservedly so too...
not even Honda salesman dares to twist and try sell such bullshit to its customers...while you have shamelessly sneaked in the term full hybrid into Honda's IMA equation...wonder-f***ing-fool indeed...

TS has said Honda IMA is design on basic and saving cost... now Prius C even cheaper.. donna wat to say liao.. created all kind of own term.. "part hybrid"...

to me, Honda Hybrid system still got miles to catch Toyota..

Sigh... I did not say Honda IMA approach is the best... I always stress Toyota HSD is the best... duh... read nicely this is the reason stupid people never bother to read all... hence stupid...

IMA is always a IMA laaa Motor Assist thats all... hence Parallel Hybrid why Parallel cause the setup is link in parallel Engine--IMA Motor--Gearbox
it cannot be separated and both must spin together (Hence a Full link hybrid) not like HSD where the ECU can decide to stop and un-link the Motor/Engine form one another or operate both together (Hence Synergy the name) Also Part hybrid.... alot of people think Full hybrid the best but technology proven this type of full time hybrid has alot of energy loss... why move a engine when you are not using it... but by doing this it is very much like a normal car engine.. except you add a IMA motor between it.. hence when you look at Honda Japan Website you have tons of Hybrid option

like Hybrid Freed / Hybrid Jazz / Hybrid Spike / Hybrid... well basically all the L series engine can be fitted a IMA... so in Honda japan not really a bad idea after all only Malaysia we do not get the full range of Honda offering and limit us to only few hybrid model

Toyota HSD is AWESOME tech but it is specialize to certain car model (correct me)

Stop those Term u created urself "Full Link Hybrid" to imply that is a Full Hybrid... and stop creating "part hybrid" to make more forumers confuses...

seriously, base on what u said you don't even understand the word Parallel

explain then

Don't call me stupid, you Jessie Ooi clone...
you think everyone stupid like u ar??
u said Honda's hybrid is a FULL Hybrid...you did not say FULL LINK hybrid...
got difference between the two terms ok???

"Toyota HSD is AWESOME tech but it is specialize to certain car model (correct me)"
are u trying to suggest that HSD wont work well unless in a Prius??
you are a fool...

then correct me see stupid (did not even read the braket) I ress my case

i think at the moment , best hybrid ever.....

at least it is nice to look at

l

I am correcting you, hence the phrase "you are a fool..."



the best hybrid should be out in 2013 which is BMW's i8 featured in the movie Mission Impossible recently...
0-100km in 4.7 seconds and has a FC or 3l/100km...
now that is what we call technology!

dedicate photo for some pro...

Just paid a visit to Subang Toyota showroom, saw an orange color Prius C already display in the show room, but it is not allowed to perform test drive, test drive is only available in March.

My First impression

The prius is definitely bigger than Myvi, it is not like Myvi which is fat and short feeling (No offend to Myvi fan, just personal feeling), the body shape is more streamline than Myvi.

Cabin space is slightly bigger than Myvi, but feeling not as wide as Vios, back seat leg room is quite good, I'm 172cm and it still has around 8-10cm space when sit in the back seat, head room also pretty ok, felt like still has 8-10cm space in between. however, it is still a small car, fit in five persons will be very tight!

Dashboard is kinda simple, quality feel like so so only Prius is way better than it.

Build quality looks good and solid.

The only disappointing part is the hybrid battery warranty, it is only 1 year warranty, *** !!! car itself is 3 years or 100,000KM warranty.

Retail price is 94,307 without insurance, those who has 55% NCD will only need to pay 95,5xx to own this car.

Maintenance is 1K,5K,10K,20K,30K interval, maintenance cost is around RM100+ per service.

so overall, it is for single or young guy who doesn't have big family, wanna try the high tech driving and save the earth, don't mind the small boot space and interior, than it is the car that can seriously consider.

The waiting list of this car is currently around 3 months, I paid a RM800 booking fee (fullly refundable), if test drive is good, will get it in May/June.

Congrats bro... Wat is ur colour? Yes agree wt u.. Definitely good for single...

Battery warranty only one year ?? then i dun consider to buy Why Toyota have no confident on their battery build ??? What is the battery cost ahh.. ?

I book the silver color, initially wanna get the white one, but the lime white pearl color need to add RM800, day light robbery meh!

Prius hybrid battery is RM11.5K, SA told me that Prius C is slightly cheaper than it. everytime when ask the hybrid battery questions, they will try to avoid to answer, UMW looks like no confident for the hybrid battery!

However, Prius battery cost is around RM5K in Taiwan, so if there is such a huge price gap, I believe people will try to bring in the "water set".

electrical modification ......dont play play. car might caughtfire

Think Taiwan should have their own battery.... Oh ya.. If I remember correctly, local battery tax/duty is pretty high here...

maybe he means parallel import of the original item. (not fake water type)

still scary....engine oil also got fake one .

Yala... Even car also got fake 1.. Fake merc , fake crv from mainland.... N fake lancer here...

fake lancer scary or not?
