Wow.. Nice!!
When you bought your insight? year? & month?

Hi~ i am new with my car~ anyway can tell me the S gear is for what? S=sport? LOL

You hit this all the times? Just curious what is the minimum you get so far, below 500km? mind to share where you travel from and to? highway name/road name? NKVE/Jalan Tun Razak

Just try to figure out why there is inconsistency and the reading is so much different from one to another.
- road condition
- driving habit
- fuel brand

Guys, sorry quite busy these few days.

First of all, may i know if u've tried to release the bonnet while the whistling occur? Does the whistling noise disappear?
If the whistling still there, u might face a different problem. My insight definitely cured and i've always turn off the radio and check for the noise once in a while. From 70km/h, 80, 100 all the way to top no whistle.

I also face some 'getting used to' insight stiffer suspension when first own the car. However after more than 30K km, either the suspension is getting softer & more comfortable, or me getting adapted to its ride comfort.

U need to maximize the regenerative braking. Avoid abrupt stop. On familiar road going to traffic light, i've always let go the throttle early an give a mild step to the brake pedal, the chrg needle went down further and the car almost stop naturally came to que.
I always get more than 500 and somewhere around 600km while maintaining my cruising speed @ 100km/h.

Alright, will try that out, thanks.

Hi Everybody! i am driving a honda insight 2011 june black

Driving style normal, not slowest and not fastest. Kajang, Balakong, Besraya, smart tunnel, raja chulan and back 37km each way. To office 23km/l ++. Back home, 17-19km/l To office, 20% jam, to home 30++% jam. Average per fill up 32l, 550-570 with 50km left. So 600km plus or take. Got passed 600 a few times with 40 to 50 km to go but wife complains drive like turtlelah, plus very sleepy for such a quiet and sporty car

A few weeks ago, drive like mad also can get 490 with 30 left at 16km/l

I learn to let go of fuel pedal since driving with this car, letting it cruise as much as possible especially downhill. tekan gently gently to maintain at 50km/l. Now habit already

Not the faster nor the slowest but definitely one of the wisest.

One bro here drives to Cyberjaya gets really high km/l. He posted last time. If the road is smooth, Prius and Insight no different. Jam, then different

That whistle, have u tried to release the bonnet while its happen? Yes i know its a bit dangerous especially at higher speed >100km/h, but should be ok since there's another latch and the bonnet still angled downward. If the whistle gone, should be the same case and my suggestion might solve your problem. And/or u should log a complaint to Honda if the my suggestion didnt address the issue since its still under warranty.
I was this ' ' close to make noise to my dealer before i confirm solved it myself. Just cant live with any single weird sound on any of my car, unless its that natural wind/tyre/engine sound (at acceptable level).

I ever recorded 34km/l on a single, ideal journey. We need to understand the concept. The energy which enable longer distance was the energy recovered during braking. That same energy will be reused to assists internal combustion engine to propel the car later. U can accelerate slowly and maintain slow phase but if u practice abrupt braking/ braking with blue meter, u can't get outstanding mileage. Always maintain green on the display while braking. U will find yourself clocking better mileage.

Prius or Prius C useful in traffic jam (using 100% electric) for few hundred meters to low 1-2 km only (depend on charge level). As the battery level dropped, the engine will start to charge the battery. For normal traffic light queue they were excellent and really saves fuel. But for continuous traffic congestion (i.e Federal highway; KL all the way to Shah Alam) mileage also dropped to 16-18km/l.

HI ... a few questions..

i cant find Premium Pearl White Autospa after i been to most Giant & Carrefour ... is there any distributor or hardware store i can make order?

small stuff like wear & tare , wiper... where to get? the rubber came off in the middle , like overheat or something

thanks guys... my baby's front bumper chip and scratch darn loads.. huhuhuhuhuhuuhhhhhh

Guys.. i'll be joining you all soon.. just bought reg no WWU9** this morning..

Welcome to the club. Hope u enjoy your Insight just like most of us here, especially when refueling

Wow..salute bro. The route you take is all jam area still manage to get good mileage.

Today morning just pump petrol, hit only 480km for full tanks. If i have got the skills and mileage u have, i would have another 70 - 80km to go.
I'll have to learn to let it cruise more often than stepping the pedal.

Yeah, abrupt braking/ braking with blue meter and I get most at the bump near my house and the dark blue meter appear more quicker on eco score stage 3, I've stuck there for very long time. I've give up the score....

anyone done their 40k km service?

I would like to know how long the service will take and how much is the charges.

Mine going to reach 40k soon... now 39k

I got call from the service center that my coming 40k is a big service and need 4hours. It going to be expensive!

Yah, but Prius is so smooth during all the transition between ICE and electric and Air-Con always cold when stopped.

thats why its rm40k extra

i wonder what they will change other than engine oil, oil filter, ATF...

Prius C is actually RM3000 cheaper than Insight!
