Excellent video. Good job

And also remember to try for a few combination like:-
1) driver door open with bonnet open
2) 2 front door open with bonnet open
3) 2 front and 2 back door open with bonnet open

Mine is number 3 in order for the beep sound to work. 1 & 2 fail for me

Insight output higher as the setup is parallel. Direct. Prius family setup kinda serial/overlapping between ICE & Electric.
Both also good.

Atkinson cycle in Prius, imagine normal 4 stroke engine, they extend intake time until piston moves up (release some air+fuel mixture back to intake manifold), then only close the intake valve. Nominal cc for compression stroke is lower, plus the cylinder being detonated every-time it moves up.
So they achieve greater FC by reducing vacuum in intake manifold and reduce the amount of air+fuel mixture for combustion.

Sure u confuse. see this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEfOxKmCstg

Prius C fail big time on this dash.

how does the jazz hybrid look like interior & exterior wise? any idea on the spec?

but it's a good alternative to prius c la. the specs is damn good, just the interior ugly.

but i'm gonna stick to my insight coming march

If I had not mistaken, Prius is using Atkinson cycle engine while Insight VTEC engine is a normal otto cycle engine.

Atkinson cycle engine focus on efficiency in the expense of power density. Different strategy.

how about the air con on this prius C? same like us will auto off as well?

Aiyo. Mistake bought Insight last year. Should wait for this. I've been longing for these kind of retro dashboard...

if this happen on to you and u want to double confirm. stop ur car and turn off ur radio and also the air con, go to passenger side and listen to behind the dashboard.

or what u can do is open the glovebox and check this out.


Our car air con has 2 motor working on it. the bottom one that i circle in red and also the top one (black color without circle). after some checking i found out the problem was the bottom one (circle in red). through my observation n trial and error, i notice this motor is adjust according to the temperature we set. what happen is and dont know why, it cant settle itself. it keep on trying to adjust something n make the kik kok kik kok sound even the air con has been turn off.

what i had done is unplug the wiring and connect it back, so far no problem already. if it happen again then i will ignore it and report this to honda during my 15k service.

the top motor just simply adjust the direction of the air like blow to windscreen, leg or the driver...etc

OMG..tha dashboard design is a total failure Perhaps Toyota is targeting ah pek market, seriously.
Gosh the air con ducts..LOL ..is that 70s or 80s? oh boy the hazard light button...LMAO. Wait..does it even have a rev meter?? Gosh the steering wheel look so sad. Wait it has 7 airbags, great! Toyota Prius C rawks.

LOL..thanks to T , I lovin' it even more...I mean my Insight.

if you have ball of steel, 200km/h...

so much difference man..toyota and Honda..really retro.haha..door open indicator like and artari game graphic! neat..even Honda seats look nicer ya?
air con control are also lol retro..hmmm..
loving my insight too!:)

Agree... freaaaaaking ugly. Even the Prius also looked like a damn robot. Toyota has no taste at all.

Had continental, local and jap cars before but never once thought of buying a Toyota.

Fuiiyoh... I think Insight better after look at the Dash... yuck...

think myvi dash nicer hahah but with 7 airbag and cheaper by 2K (comparison without discount) think still people will buy cause it is TOYOTA

but one think I dont like about HSD is after 5 or 3 years warranty period the car is so complicated that outside foreman do not dare to touch the car... also Toyota battery is 3 years warranty vs Honda 5 years warranty...

They claim the battery can last 10 years... but no balls to give warranty... ek ek ek...

love my white ride very much. The problem is she get stained and become grayish white after 2-3 weeks. I wash her regularly but still dang the stain stuck into her skin. I have to polish so often to remove those stain.

Wondering is it all the white body that tough to maintain?

yep all the white and black super tough to maintain... ont thing to ease off to apply coating like Sierra Glow or Permanon or the best one opti coat 2.0 (super expensive also) hahaha then dust will virtually wont stick...

Sorry to hear that you have to replace your rear absorber. Did you change the wheels or tyres? Do you have to pay for them? Insight got 3 years warranty right? Is absorber included in the Warranty?

My Absorber koyak at 5000km service waiting for absorber to arrive from Japan

how u know ur absorber koyak?

Service center tell me when doing my 5000k service they detected leak...
