QUOTE(watonk @ Feb 21 2012, 03:10 PM) It runs on full EV mode below 50km/h. However engine still register rpm reading since the motor runs the crankshaft. Prius C run its electric motor and disengage ICE under full EV. That's not what I understand. IMA = full time combustion engine + part time electric motor. As long as your car is moving, your combustion engine will be running, and that's why you see your engine RPM rising. This post has been edited by victor_hoh: Feb 21 2012, 03:35 PM

QUOTE(ckk125 @ Mar 4 2012, 07:35 PM) vios, city, and insight doesnt have soft plastics if IIRC. even the prius uses hard plastic. I sit in one yesterday. The fabric and dashboard is worst than Vios. The colour scheme is totally off the chart.

QUOTE(ckk125 @ Mar 4 2012, 08:02 PM) how is it worse? the vios also uses plastic dash isnt it? fabric i und la...cuz vios leather seats ma..but dashboard and door panel, the vios and insight aint too good. the insight's armrest is also a joke for a 100k car. like persona arm rest The grey colour of the plastic dashboard makes it look cheap. The blue stripe on the dashboard and front doors make it look cheaper.

We never complain about the technology in the car. We are simply saying that the interior design is a bit off the chart. It feels cheap. It does not match the modern and striking exterior.

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.oh man, ppl are gonna get mad Honda Malaysia claims that the recently facelifted Insight has a better sound insulation. Maybe you can test drive one and rejudge.
