hi guys, i do think driving Insight on highway is quite noisy, due to poor chassis insolation. anyone use STP silver or bomb?

Do u drive a Toyota/Merc before? Coz if u notice all Honda, from City to Accord, noisier on highway. Especially road/tyre noise.

U can try a layer of dynamat on the floor and wheel arch.

Hi I'm concerned that because of the 1.3L engine, will it feel as though the car is being "push to it's limit" when you're driving at 110-130kmph on the highway?

Hi all, i jz got my insight for a week. i drive mostly on ECO mode.
Thus the idle stop mode will get activated quite easily. this has increase the amount of start up.

my concern is - will this speed up the engine wear n tear since the engine wear n tear happen the most during engine start up process.

pls advice. thkssss!!

i've change the rims to 17" lightweight sport rims with michelin 205/45/R17, handling much better esp in cornering and stable on highway, but fc increased.
