Also, anyone has demanded the SA to get the car polished and waxed prior delivery? The paint surface of Prius C seems rough.

In case anyone not aware, hybrid car owner (i.e. Prius C) who bought their car from Toyota dealer in Petaling Jaya, they could actually apply 3-month free parking monthly pass from MBPJ via http://www.mbpj.gov.my/c/document_library/...f&groupId=21857

I tot parking is free in PJ? But that day I still kena summon. Have to apply for special pass for that?

My case the Salesman was hopeless.... So i rang up the Branch Manager but he seem not to help as well when they forced me to take the registered car without the DVD AVN. That was when I lost my patience and call direct to the UMW Toyota HQ and dealt with them. Subsequently, even for the appointment date to collect my car from the Toyota branch was also prearranged directly from the UMW Toyota KL... LOL.. i feel like a super VIP tongue.gif
Hmmm... I dunno should I disclose the HQ Personnel number here.... later i kena blacklist by the HQ.... Haha... but they do have a Sales Complaint Department ... the Customer Service will apparently record our complaint over the phone and if necessary will bring forward the complaint case to the Department for action plan.
[quote=RegistraCHAN,May 30 2012, 10:24 AM]
Good 1 Bro. My Question how much no2.?
izzit worth it RM2999 for..DVD AVN (Me Booking with it too)

First of all, I am no bro... i m a gal... tongue.gif
I got a RM1,550 discount from Salesman. Polished and waxed my car pre-delivery. Free floor mats. Full tank petrol ( we went to the petrol kiosk together, and he literally pumped till the petrol overflowed a little... LOL). The 10k and 20k free service is All In... inclusive of the motor oil. But the 1st 2 service ( 1k & 5k ) is normal la like the rest, only waive the workmanship fee.

Hey sis, no wonder u got a really good discount. I think u already have the best compared to all of us here. The person who I bought the car from, so called is my "bro", but only give me 1k discount and arrange a very early date for me to get my car. But no other freebies not even full tank of petrol or free service. After heard ur bargaining power really makes me shameful. Haahahaha.


But really happy to hear ur deal at least u can slash umw "kao kao". Hahaha.

wow nice bro. how come so ex compare to beck_ken which 1st service is RM68.. erm.. wonder if toyota want to earn more now

Bro, first time service. And it took me for 2 hrs 30 mins. Nearly camp there. Summore rain heavily today in PJ cannot even walk to coffee shop for proper breakfast.

Btw, I do check wit service centre in regards to warranty issue. My case I had change a sport rim. Thus, only the rim's warranty will be void. I also ask them about other electric component warranty, they said any changes will only void the particular part except u tampered the original wiring of the car. So, he said plug and play system is alright. That's the reply from a service representative mr sharae from umw pj jalan 19.

Mine also same as yours, except not that serious, only the supporting metal rusted for the exhaust. will ask service center to fix it when 1K service.

Anything rusted u r suppose to be able to claim even on 5k warranty. But myself nver check mine also. When they deliver the car to me I don't even check a single thing.

When u permanantly stop your car, go to the screen setting. Then find something that saying show past records. Then u enable it. When u revert back to the main option screen, there suppose to have extra icon for u to switch to this screen.

Just to share, I drove my PC to Old Klang Rd Honda showroom yesterday to collect my refund for my booking fee.

I spent less than 2 minutes at the counter with all the salesman and walked out back to my car. It was so comical!! Hahaha... tongue.gif

If no govt tax exemption, and local UMW takes higher margin, PriusC could easily be priced at over RM200K !!!!

Some previously posted details:
Our Prius C is imported from Toyota Motor Asia Pacific Pte Ltd with AP granted to OTOMOBIL SEJAHTERA SDN BHD, a subsidiary of UMW.
On the customs declaration form, FOB cost is RM66,198.43 plus Freight RM3,009.69and insurance RM58.88. 10% Sales Tax of RM6,926.70 is payable while Import and Excise duties are exempted.
Total cost is RM76,193.70 at Port Klang. UMW has to add local distribution and marketing costs. Selling Price is RM93,967 (OTR is RM97,000). It seems the margin for Prius C could be below 18% !  (Initially PriusC was to be RM103900 at almost 30% margin for UMW. Maybe with Honda due to release Jazz hybrid, UMW top gun decided to just earn 18% at OTR RM97k for PriusC to be competitive here. This strategy also helps to draw customers to the much higher priced Prius.)

If no exemptions, 30% Import Duty is RM20,780.10 , 75% Excise Duty is RM67,535.33 and then 10% Sales tax is RM15,758.24 for this CBU car! Total Exemption = RM97,146.97!

Full CBU Japan except for local Reverse Sensors and Alarm systems with cabin motion sensors, and the stick-on number plates.
Audio headunit is oem from Pioneer DEH-M8247ZT a 2009 model with 4x40W output and value about RM220 online.
*
That is the main point initially I purchase this car. Cos tax exempted! Hahaha. My friend keep on asking me why suddenly I buy a compact car. I just said explain the same.

Bro, initially I wanted to book vw polo gti. But after I test drive both, find this car cheaper than 40k, plus much more comfortable. In terms of nvh, seat, feeling while driving. Vw polo don't play wit it. If dsg gearbox, confirmed 4 years u need to change a new gear box. Much more costly that ur battery and durability also lower than toyota. I compare both, then I go for this pc cutie. Haha

When you go into settings, then choose screen (it's the 2nd option from top), then somewhere there will be one for your scores and you can choose between monthly or personal. One thing I am uncertain of is whether it still logs both but only displays one at a time. I'll find out soon. (Update: yes it seems to still track both regardless of which one you choose to display, that's awesome).
Oh and those 2011 dates from the pictures was because when I got the car Toyota did not set the date and time, no biggie but I would've like it setup proper, feels like they rushed it, especially with the slightly dirty condition the car was in when I received it.
I had mine booked on the 5th of March.

How do all of you find the radio reception? I found mine unclear at times (slight static) on certain stations (and this was in my city area, kk), maybe needs finetuning. Will get back to you guys. I'm going to search for mats & seat covers next. I think need to get a custom seat cover made - when I got the car there was this flimsy white seat cover material and also a plastic one for the driver seat, I think I can bring it to someone to also measure that one because it seems to fit ok (I should make spares in case a pet comes in), but then I will also get them to measure the seat itself for a proper fit.

When I got my car I also got some free gifts - umbrella x2, mini hand held battery operated orange looking fan thing x2 (maybe can be mega eco and use this instead of aircon haha jk), whiteboard notebook x2 (very useful for me hehe, so forgetful)

When I call my SA I will tell them about the solar film warranty they forgot to go over with me (both the UMW copy and customer copy is still with me and not filled out), and also the rust at the bottom (or perhaps I will also bring it to the attention when I go to my first service).

Quite frankly I never looked to see if people were staring at my car (I only noticed one guy looked out his window when I was driving on my way before I hit the dirt road to Tambunan and I did a sharp U-turn) because in the periphery of my vision I would halfway look at the eco score and car speed, else I had my eyes on the road like a hawk. When I drove through the rain I did notice the mileage did drop a little bit. Speaking of water, I had my key in my pockets and I was rinsing the car with my hose and when the water went over the front door handles it kept trying to lock and unlock the car door o_O I guess it's making the two strips contact. It had no problem when I was driving it through rain, and that problem only showed up when I was spraying water on it with a hose. Anyone else encounter this? I guess it makes sense since your hand/thumb acts to bridge the two points I suppose. Maybe that is disabled when the car is moving so if there is a big splash it won't happen.

I don't encounter car wash issue yet. But whenever I drive thru potholes or clogging water on the road or rainy days, sometimes I can see the esp sign flashing.

Today I hit on highway around 178. Feels like still able to make another 10kmh more.


Added on June 1, 2012, 3:38 amBro, anyone after 1st k service encounter this? After my 1st k service 2 days back, I feel that my ev mode less functioning. Before that, everytime I let go pedal even half pedal I can see the ev signal on. But now I need to let go the pedal all and accelerate abit again only I can see the ev is on. Which means much more slower. Anyone encounter this?

This car, when it goes really fast, the fuel consumption is totally different already.

Were you on eco mode? I think I kinda of noticed the same thing, but I do know that if I take foot off accelerator and then slightly on it will be EV mode, I think at the beginning when I got the car it switched to EV mode when it past the threshold EV threshold without having to let go of the accelerator fully, don't notice it doing that now. I feel like my EV is lacking the accelerating speed it did when I first used it (when I accelerate even at the slightest touch now it seems to really spike the speed on the EV eco score zone but the car doesn't move as fast on batts like it was before), or maybe I'm just getting too used to the speeds in this car everything passing by just seems like someone can run beside my car lol (when I'm driving at 60-70kph it feels like 30kph).

Ok I think I got the answer for why my Apacer USB card reader *might* not have worked with the DVD-AVN - in the manual it states that "Devices connected through a USB hub will not work using the unit". Time for me to get a usb thingy.
*
Yea bro. That's the feeling. Cos when its new, even I took my feet of pedal it will straight go to ev. Now I need to take off and slightly touch on pedal again only can go to ev. Futher, before 1k service, even at 120kmh, I release the accelerator, it will go on ev. Now even on 80kmh, its difficult to go ev. Somebody must have check wit umw during their service.

i dunno nuts about enjin oil, but now u mention it, initially my car the "cruising range" was 900km on full tank when i pump petrol.
now i pump liao it juz show 720++ nia. also was after my first servis.

so should i insist on 0-20W oil on 5K servis?
*
Bro, where is the "cruising range"? Is it the indicator to show us the distance that the remaining fuel can go? I need that but I dunno where to find it.

Nothing wrong .  It all depends on the battery charge level.  If you battery charge level is high, Prius will try to use EV more than when your battery is at low level.

QUOTE(Salamander @ Jun 2 2012, 01:00 AM)
When lifting your foot fully off the pedal, EV mode is established, there are times when it won't kick in for example at certain speeds, certain charge, and whether or not the engine is too hot/cold. I still don't know why it doesn't kick in at full charge like it used to when I decelerate into the EV zone (note: not taking foot immediately off pedal to switch off gas motor to engage EV mode) on the ECO score like it used to. I guess maybe there is something I'm not looking at but I just thought it was odd. In any case I am a little bit more perplexed about why the car feels weaker/slower at its standstill starts in EV mode from when I first used it. The only way I can describe it is that the feedback from the pedal feels like a slight touch spikes the EV acceleration on the ECO score display, but the car itself the accel is "loose" or not as responsive as I felt it was when I got it initially, it feels as if even if I carefully manipulate it to the top end of the EV mark it feels like the car is accelerating from the quarter mark (note: I also have good foot control, so I don't know where this spiking is coming from. When I mean spiking I mean it will sharply go up really high then down like someone stomping their foot on the pedal, not like a controlled acceleration). I'm sure it's not my imagination but I will monitor this behaviour some more and bring it up to SC on my first service.
Oh I hear that tyre noise, but instead of thinking it as an annoying sound I pretend my Prius C is a spaceship and make the annoying sound together with it. vUuVvuvUvvVUvvUVVUVVV  cool.gif  like some kind of futuristic thing hahaha
Should I use mineral oil for the first 10k and then go synthetic? Or just stick to 0-20W the whole way through for all services?
I got an umbrella, a portable handheld fan, a notebook sized whiteboard marker (which has a pic of a prius c on it!)
*
Bro salamandar, perhaps u may check wit ur sa and service centre and see anything wrong with it about the ev issue.

U r funny la to do that sound. I will go and do up the sound isolation stuff for my tyre soon wit dynomat or something in accessories shop. But not too soon cos recently spend quite a sum for cars d. Summore my old car also jealous and break down, just send old car for service. So this car modification will temporary stop first. Hahaha

Oh you must be referring to the regenerative braking. The regen braking engages in a certain range before the actual normal brakes kick in. I am actually used to this regen braking instead of normal car brakes lol, nice smooth braking action for me. If that is the sound you are referring to then yes it is normal. Just pretend your car is a small quiet plane coming in for landing tongue.gif

I love the sound. I just feel like I'm a pilot. Haha

I still havent tried Hill Assist cos no slope for me to try on my regular route...

Today on a gentle slope i activate it but after a second the light went off liao.

i think the default D position was enough to mantain it from rolling back so it off kot...

Hill Assist - is is manually activated? Where is the button? I can't found it.

This is somewhat what is happening to me, I had excellent fc for the first 2 bars on the fuel gauge, after that it went down really quickly and I feel as if there has been a loss of overall power. I'm not sure what is going on, maybe cos of the full tank initially (on my other cars there is some behaviour like this, during full tank it has oomph and then as the tank nears half it's not as peppy)? Then again when I got the car which wasn't even half a tank it was performing the same way as it did during the first 2 bars of full tank. Now I find getting my mileage even harder than before. No matter how light footed I am the fuel goes down quick even with as much EV as I try. I wonder if anyone besides us has experienced this and know what's happening.. hmm.gif

Bro. I feel the same also. The bar just shooting down.

You press the brake in deep deep and an icon of a car with a squiggly line comes on. I tried it this morning on a really small slope and I let go of the brake and it started moving heh. I need to find a better slope/hill.

Thanks bro.

Went up Cameron with my friends last night
Me driving Prius c this round, cuz if I drive civic I will smoke her car easily. My friend is driving Insight

Both of us pump full before going up, ytd was super jam at top there. But overall Prius C won in terms of FC. Me just back and I left 3 bars after jamming down back to home took 5 hours while Insight need to pump petrol when reached Tg Malim

Going uphill with fully loaded is not a problem! Damn, I can smoke my friend's insight easily and I can smoke cars like Vios, City easily during cruising uphill

Like the engine roaring sound, in fact I press till it roar very fierce! Even the passby cars also stare on my car!

Hahaha

Yea bro. That's what I mentioned before, vios can't even kiss ur arse. Hahaha. I tried them. And proud to have this car now.

Lol, I quite like all the sounds from the regen braking to the engine roar. Instead of looking at it in a negative light, I look at it more like a unique sound no one else has hahaha. Super stealthy jet plane lion. What a mouthful.

Right now I am having a different battle though - the evil water spots! *shakes fist at hard water*. At least it's not bird poop.
