Thursday sending back to solve my rear left spring problem.

I think is the spring that causing sound (ngek ngek ngek...) come out when I turn a junction or even a bump.

another thing that I will escalate is the tank area. When i pump till the petrol gun stopped, pull it out and the petrol will flow out!

As for brake...i drive till 6k already and no cause of brake failure on that.

my only comment is the fuel filler tank area is really really flimsy. i put the pump in also i sked something come off.

Also no one has answered whether trip info (or any other info) can be displayed on the 6.1" screen (I suppose no one installed the dvd-avn option?). Again in the Japanese and American versions they have the ability to display it. It's just kind of nice if you could display it on the big screen for passengers to fiddle with.
*
nope, i dont believe there is any linkage from MID to DVD-AVN.

and it kinda annoys me they call it DVD-AVN when the DVD feature can only active when the car is stopped. I tried to put dvd the other day by the time i get to chapter 1 my wait also over liao.

also you cannot set destination for GPS when car is moving by spelling. the SPELL button is greyed out. You can only press for NEAR locations and go to them.

i am a little disappointed that we dont have (so far)
- tyre pressure monitor
- auto lock/unlock
- some MID screens
- 9 airbeg (usa)

i thought i was getting a global specced unit when i ordere the car, so that for once i can enjoi what the yanks and other develop nation ppl used.

Is it possible to use via voice commands instead? I think there was also ways to enable watching the dvd while driving but that may void warranty (rewiring or what not involved), I'd like to find a bypass for that but if rewiring is involved I'll skip that idea. Kinda silly to have the dvd player when you can't watch. Only practical for me if it was playing music videos heh (since the audio doesn't cut off when you move).

Me too, then as I read more & more I noticed the stuff we were missing out on, I sincerely thought we were going to get most of the stuff except that entune. I don't get why they'd cut some of that stuff out. It'd be nice if it was actually there and not activated and someone figured out how to enable some of the above stuff. Wouldn't mind having parking assist sensor too but that's just me (the Australian versions have this).

I think maybe this information should be mentioned on the front page.

Wait, you mean we don't have that one either!? I guess alot of pedestrians are gonna get run over doh.gif
That function is damn important since our cars are "stealthy" in EV mode and you know how pedestrians in Malaysia tend to walk in front of cars like they are made of steel tongue.gif
I wonder if the sound can be haaxed.

hi everyone!!

I am newbie to this forum...i am planning to get a Prius C for myself...currently I am doing survey for this car...so for those who have got their Prius C, encounter any problem on the car? i saw quite a lot of complains on the Prius in the following website:-

www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/toyota_prius.html sad.gif

And about the battery useful life, i was told by 2 SA that it can last for whole life...but from the comments in forum here, it can only last for 8 years...any idea??

i guess it happens to all cars, various issues. sometime have to cross ur fingers and get a good unit, regardless of brand.

as user all we can do is test drive, and think about whether this car meets our requirements.

battery life, i have no clue. as i know the prius is only been in malaysia since 2009, and prius c since 2012. its too early to tell at the moment.

So how do you guys do you pulse & glide? Do you speed up to let's say 70kph and then just let it glide (foot off accelerator) until you reach about 54kph and then pulse up again or do you speed until 70kph and then let it glide and then try to maintain some kind of mid speed with foot slightly on pedal? I suppose on a lower speed you could foot off the accelerator so the gas motor would cut off and then take over with the ev? I'm guessing this is depending on the speed you are going at whether fast or slow, but isn't there like a top speed threshold for pulse & glide for the c?

Was just re-reading some stuff from:
http://priuschat.com/forums/prius-c-main-f...de-prius-c.html

Added on May 23, 2012, 1:35 amSomeone on the priuschat seems to unfortunately had an accident with their prius c. Luckily they are safe and no serious injuries thankfully due to the safety measures on this car. He was rear-ended by an suv. After the IIHS reports and the comments this guy made I feel glad at least it doesn't fall short on safety. I am a little curious to see what kind of damage the prius c sustained.
