Its the gap between bonnet and plastic garnish at wiper area. The rubber seal is too deep and the gap is just nice to whistle around 80-100km/h.
I solved it. I will share the picture.

Yup, my wife's insight is also experiencing this problem and the SC that i went had checked but unable to resolve.

Perhaps, can update if it has improved or back to normal after the "formatted" and "reinstalled" the new/updated OS?

If it does, please advise which SC and whom that assist you in this.

How la, the car only a year old ......

I just get a Smart Tag few days ago. But dont know they only provide sticker type to put on windscreen instead of suction cup type. Anyone know is there any suction cup type replacement for Smart tag holder?

P/s: if anybody ever wonder why i never had Smart Tag before becoz i rarely use highway, onley use TnG only.

would like that very much. But if its due to that then all insights must be affected, right? Anyway, if problem solved, then i will be a very happy insighter

I think not all...my Insight so far no problem. already 9 month used ..syukur..never encounter battery, IMA, wind noise, faulty smell from aircond, etc...only problem with "outside" door visor.

are u sure? i though FL version comes with High Hill Assist? i can't believe it

So far, after reinstalling the IMA system, all seem to go back to normal. No problems of battery getting drained quickly or sort. Pickup/power back to normal.
Satisfied so far.
Crossing fingers.
My ride is also just reached 1 year, and only done 10K Mileage.
I did my reinstalling at MH Prestige, Kepong Area. You can find the Service Manager, he'll know what to do now.. after using mine as white mice.

Agreed.

Guys, those with similar problems, no harm trying to update or reinstall the IMA system.

I did mine at Actmar Klang.

Before: hardly get >19.5km/l
Now: Easily get >20.5/l

I'm on my 2nd tank of RM50 fuel now. An improvement of ~1-2km/l means a lot to me.

Start to believe it Dont think I couldn't be sure if the car was backwarding and if it was not the case, the car behind me would not be honking me like hell right?

Hi sorry I have a question to ask:

Anyone knows why was a Civic Hybrid discontinued? I'm interested in a Honda hybrid car and have way to find a new Civic Hybrid. I think Civic Hybrid is better because it is more spacious in my opinion, but think there is a certain reason Civic is discontinued. Anyone knows why it has phased out and made way for Insights? Purely price concern or technology involved?

it got discontinued because production stopped in japan where that model was being retired

did you try the methods i suggested?

but I used to goto the slope which connects BU and tropicana which u mentioned, the slope wasn't that slanted.....bit disappointed with features that claimed by Honda sometimes!

Not hill assist fault, Insight comes with Creep Aid System for Autostop. If the engine is running in D, the hill assist should work normally (there is a limit for the hill assist system as well if the slope is too steep, not just Honda cars, mind you). you need creep aid system to prevent the car from rolling on a hill when the driver transitions from the brake pedal (while on autostop) to the throttle pedal (engine starts)



It works well on most slope, just make sure you give it enough brake pressure when stopping (Autostop). Another way to make sure your car won't slide backwards is to force start your engine prior to taking off your legs off the brakes by using the methods I mentioned a page or 2 back.

it works for me almost everytime. Most of the users here who complain about this, were those who are not familiar with the system or they are new with the car. You will get used to it in no time, once you know the method.

Hi Guys,Anyone interested with Honda Insight ?My friend 2011 is going to let go.Interested may PM me for more details.

I am satisfied with the Creep Assist. Been driving the car for a year..so fast. Next week sending in for 20,000km service.

Overall I'd rate it 8.5/10. I don't quite like the stock Bridgestone tires, too bumpy/hard. On uneven road can really send vibrations into the car. Sound proof a bit poor though.

Everything else is just ...lovely. Nice handling and responsive chassis. Sporty 16" rim. HID friendly lights. Futuristic dashboard, it just feels good after getting into the car, I'll spend some time enjoy the dashboard, aircon and speedo, never got bored with the view. Good FC, 90 City 10 Highway driving, average 500km per tank. I am satisfied.

Gee! thanks for the advise (and white mice ) and i shall call the SC for the update arrangement. The car used to give > 500km for abt 33I but has been hovering 440 - 480km lately, with no change of driving style.

It is 1 year old car and 10km now.

Just saw a prius c pass by... nice looking and so silent.... must be on ev mode... kinda like those electric carts at airport... fast n silent

Mine ok nearing 50kkm
