QUOTE(chris_tco @ Mar 6 2012, 07:39 PM) is PPE material better or ABD material? for body kit punya Both not good cause not exist!!! ABS and PP material is the best for bodykits but is also the most expensive... both bodykit material is thin, light and durable but ABS is hard plastic so the chances of crack under high stress (like hitting a devider accidentally) is higer PP is the original bumper material or what we called tupperware plastic... very light and flexible also the most expensive AVOID PU material as it is very thick and heavy, new car now uses clip instead of screw so the clip will giveway... the good side the PU will last longer than your car!!! you can abuse it crash it and it will still be in 1 piece the downside your car bumper is way more expensive than the bodykit!!! you will replace bumper more often  FIBER... the cheapest / the lightest and the most fragile.... if you plan to change kits every year then this is the best!!! Fiber PP/PU/ABS mix this also not bad usually Airmaster very pro at this!!! really quite good~~~

My insight vibrate when idling, sometime engine almost off, RPM drop then climb back again, service center cleaned the throttle body, but problem still exist. Anyone has the same problem?
The rear absorbers oil leaks, order replacement already.
The front and rear bumper hit by neighbors' guests during CNY when they have parties, spray job cost RM600 for front and back bumper.

From the Honda malaysia website, I found that the specs for insight does not include side airbags but this is included in the specs for insight in other countries eg. in US. That means our insight is a cost down version? or Honda Malaysia website made a mistake?

Check your MAF/MAP sensor... And it is generally for Honda to check and reset ECU mapping after throttle body cleansing. The AFR may have been affected henceforth idling vibration.

I just told service center many problems (which I not sure), in case there was anything I missed. I didnt know the absorber was leaking. Next time I will tell them engine noise, gearbox not smooth, jerks etc, air cond not strong, brake got sound etc, so they will check everything and replace them if necessary.

You seems like not too happy with your Insight. So far my only complain to Honda is the reverse sensor was unstable. But after the replacement, ok liao for me. No more complain.

I just collected my new Honda Insight FL 2012 - Aqua Metallic. And i gotta say I LIKE IT!!! absolutely no regret in choosing this over Prius C. The dash is stunning.. overall experience is cool. I don't care what other cars engine could do or more powerful..etc ..etc. To me - the overall driving experience with this car is excellent!. Great comfort and good screen UI ! Believe it or not, instead of hating..I love the auto engine stop feature as well.. everytime it stops i feel happy  i am saving fuel hehe.. Very very nice car i would recommend.

QUOTE(brandonseet @ Mar 7 2012, 06:53 AM) 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.. Bro, during the auto stop it fires up for 1 sec and engine off back to auto-stop again? mine has been like this since day 1 and after 6 months still happens and it happened when the engine is not cold (after driven for half an hour) and when it's incline it won't auto stop.
