How much is the total damage?

Ok thanks

I was advised by my SA to insured 5k for the whole car windows all around. The most expensive is the hatch back rear screen.

the weird thing is. i dunno why honda 12v battery life spend is only 2 years. my city 12v battery have to change every 1.5 or 2 years (could it be the alternator problem?)....where by my other car kelisa battery lasted me 3 years before changing....

does insight comes with alternator? cant remember whether i saw it or not....

The buzzer sound 3 times not the alarm

I think 205 is too wide. My opinion. 195/50r16 would be a better choice if wanna go wider. But I
Prefer to
Stick back with the factory size. Just get the better tire brand like mcheline xm2. Compare to the noise hard surface dunlop tire that came with it. There is a reason why they have a specific tire size for specific car. The had tuned the car for the right size of tires.

Where u bought it and
How much ?

why u want to change the tire size? just stick to the factory recommendation if u are happy with it..

ic....
yes it can change to 195 is all depending on the rim width. If i'm not mistaken insight rim 16" is 6.5J (meaning 6 1/2" wide).

can get 195/50 R16 and not 195/55R16.....u cant simply change the tire size....it will make the speed meter inaccurate and more fuel consumption..

from 185/55r16 to 195/55r16 So when your speedo reads 70mph, you're actually travelling at 71.26
from 185/55r16 to 195/50r16 So when your speedo reads 70mph, you're actually travelling at 69.03
from 185/55r16 to 205/50r16 So when your speedo reads 70mph, you're actually travelling at70.18

u can either use 195 or 205, but my advice is use 195, because insight rim is 6.5J or 6J wide like i mentioned above. If use 205 the wheel will look fat and too wide for the rim and consume more fuel. For 205 the ideal rim size 16" width is 7j and above.

does your car have this Shudder On Accelerate?

When you accelerate from a stop, it shudders a bit at low speeds, kind of like a car with a manual transmission will. It seems this only happen when Econ Off. It is very obvious, but when during Econ On, the shudder feel is mild. You can see a little bouncing on the tachometer while it does this.

Another one is, when you are slowing down and you lift off the gas paddle, some times the car shudder and sometime it jerk and when you step on the gas paddle back, then is ok.. ( feeling like when u are driving a manual gear box when the car is slowing down and you didnt step on the clutch and the car shuddering..)

any ideas?

Thanks....

any improvement after the software update? is it the 2012 insight software?

Thanks for your reply. Does your car have the jerkiness or shudder before u update the software? Did the dealer said which version is it?

Hm....I think the problem that I'm facing is related to cvt or ima calibration. I don't think using higher grade engine oil will solved the problem as I don't this is related.

Weird. I went to Sumber auto P.J. They do not do software update for my 2011Insight unless there is a instruction from Honda Malaysia to perform the update. They say cannot simply update afraid it may cost problem. So they tested my car and say is ok and certain things like jerkiness or shudder during acceleration is normal for insight. Sigh....so I told them that there are ppl updating their software in other branches. But they still do not want to update as lOng no instruction from Hq they cannot do it.

So fOr those who's updated. Just to double check. Did Your dealer update the software or they only did the CVT CAlibration? Coz calibration and software update is 2 different things
