Branded stuffs are always expensive than normal brand... imo rm1.7k is quite reasonable for branded film, but still depends on the spec of tinted film.

Side is about 90+%, front and rear are 70~75%, can't remember exactly.
The 2nd option is front/rear also 90+% with higher price.

I'm just worried that the workmanship of the not-so-branded tinted shop, will they somehow 'damage' my power window and void the warranty?

those are Infrared rejection(IRR) rite?
done lotsa research abt tinted film before this, TSER is more important. http://www.tintdude.com/forum/index.php/to...84-tser-vs-irr/ Please refer to post #2

Or u tell which brand you want, let SA make it for you, at least any "accident" happened he/she can settle for you. But make sure not kena potong by SA.

Just got my new car on Saturday.  1st day using it for a longer distance to work this morning.  However am still not very used to the auto stop function, expecially during the period of congested traffic (sigh...the morning kl rush hour).  The auto stop doesn't stay long though am pressing the brake paddle (with the same pressure) and also, it's kind of uneasy when it was stucked at the jam, as the engine was feeling like it was going to auto stop (since the speed is rather slow, or about to auto stop in a jam) and juggle in between restarting engine and stopping engine.  May I ask how do you guys manage it to work smoother?  Thanks!

once you driven more you will understand how it works and you will adjust accordingly.

I am considering booking for Insight also, but when I read about this auto stop start function, I don't feel very comfortable with this kind of function. If we are driving in KL for example on Friday, normally the car will be stucked in jam for like 1 hour. So the car might be moving very slowly in the jam. So I am wondering, the air con will then auto shut off for 1 hour?? or It will keep auto stop and start for that 1 hour period?? Isn't that very uncomfortable if the weather is hot in the middle of KL?
*
off the ECON mode lor but so far i have no issues travelling in jams under the hot sun. and NO, air con will not off for 1 hour.

I was told that the autostop will only stop the air cond when your temperature in the car is lower than the climate temperature. Let say u set at 19 degree, the car climate temperature is about 20 or 21. The engine will auto stop but then the air cond will still on. Thats what i heard from my SA. Anyone can comment on this?
*
I am not sure if the temperature is governing the Auto Stop i only felt that the Auto Stop stays longer under hot wheather probably around 90secs. But when it's rainy or colder day the Auto Stop last shorter and it started the engine around 30secs or less.

My Insight is wearing Stock tires, dunlop, SP 2030. Car was due for rotation/alignment/balancing at 30k. I having been doing this for every 10k.
Happily go to the tire shop, to my amaze, the front tires are GONE! Inner part of my tire is bald, white thread can been seen! The rims do run into some poth holes, a little dent, but still the tires is gone too fast, less than a year of smooth driving (achieved 5.8L/100km averagely).
Changed all the 4 tires to Achilles ATR Sport 205/45/16, cheapo tire @ 250/pc, but review is ok ba. Really tempted to change to 17 inch rim... maybe next time.
Have been driving car for years and never do encounter such a poor quality tire... if i delay my tire rotation, you could probably saw news reporting a white insight lost control, spinning on highway!

So all insighters... pay extra attention to the dunlop sp 2030 tires.Attached Image

This looks more like cause by your alignment out and toe is not align. (usually use chamber screw to align it? To prevent this from happen ?)

Car alignment is periodically check at every 10k, I even went for alignment again at 25k after hitting poth hole.
Some tire shop told me, chamber screw is not necessary, they can align without it.

prevent mist on windscreen is acceptable but did you guys experience the engine fire up after auto stop engaged for less than 30secs and it auto stop again right after? i have never release the brake during this but the car still fire up itself and auto stop right after then last to 90secs. is it just me or what?

bro no worries..experience b4..was worried also till I read the manual..there are few conditions where it does that..if the car engine is cold..auto stop at an incline, battery level is lower, so it stop the auto stop..just read the manual ya..haha..I had the same experience as well..
