But i can't see in their leaflet.... Btw, how do we activate it? Juz FULLY press down the brake pedal and wait for the some sort of slippery car LED lights up in the display panel? I hav tested it but need to FULLY pressed down the brake pedal then only it will show up. Thanks for sharing infor here.

try search at priuschat.. in u.s they can purchase from car frame repair booklet to hybrid system manual book .

You have come to the right forum. Here, we will brain wash you to get a PC (if it's in your list of consideration lah...)   
I'm not a veteran owner, but I managed to convince myself when encountered those Qs...

1. New technology? It is not new, it's a seasoned technology. Just tell them that Prius' tech has been on for >10 years in USA, and Toyota HSD is already proven to be one of the most reliable technology. 10-yr old prius still in use reliably till this day in the states.

2. The savings may not worth the money paid? Of course you don't compare with kancil. Let's compare with Vios 1.5G (Vios beacuse those old folks usually already set their minds with Toyota)...

PC 97K
Vios 87K
Thus, PC +10K

Let's assume after 5 yrs the amount of fuel you used in Vios is equivalent to RM300 x 12 months x 5 yrs = 18K
And let's assume the amount of fuel saved in PC is just 1/3 of Vios
Means with the similar mileage with PC after 5 yrs: RM 200 x 12 x 5 = 12K
Means you save only 6K of fuel, means PC -6K
(Please bear in mind the more petrol you use routinely, the more you save with PC)

So, after 5 yrs, car price + total fuel expenditure:
PC 97K + 12K = 109K
Vios 87K + 18K = 105K
Means after 5 yrs you spent 4K more on PC (savings on fuel can't offset the money paid for the car, that's what those old folks think too)

BUT, then you decide to sell your car...
PC value, say 65K? (agak2 only lah)
Vios value 55K? (most 5-yr Vios in mudah.my ranging 48K-53K)
Minus the 4K you paid extra on PC after 5 yrs...
You get extra 6K after 5 yrs for PC vs Vios

Because the extra money you paid to PC partly contributes to the resale value, but extra money you spent on petrol in Vios DOES NOT contribute to resale value AT ALL


Not to mention with more money you get back after 5 yrs, you HAVE ENJOYED (what Vios 1.5G does not offer):
1. extra 5 airbags
2. VSC
3. Traction control (1-3 may have already saved your life)
4. Keyless entry with push start
5. quieter rideS
6. better acceleration with reasonable top speed
7. (Anything else anyone?)

Afterall, you are the one who's using the car, right? Ultimately you have to convince yourself, not to convince others...

Thanks for the info .... so did u get any manuals with the new PC such as the basic user manual?

But i can't see in their leaflet.... Btw, how do we activate it? Juz FULLY press down the brake pedal and wait for the some sort of slippery car LED lights up in the display panel? I hav tested it but need to FULLY pressed down the brake pedal then only it will show up. Thanks for sharing infor here.

Maintenance is even easier/lower with the Prius/Prius C with:
1. Beltless operations in the engine
2. Less wear & tear to the engine, you clock 100k km in a HSD, most of the time its only 50%-70% was contributed by the ICE (RPM hovering around 1k-2k some more )
3. Regenerative braking...some in priuschat never changed their brake pads in years 

Will add up once i can think of more...all this just spontaneously popped up my mind while writing 

Want to know how to use it, watch the link video:-

Drive all the way to Puchong to have window visor installed for RM230, remember to give them a call before you drop by, as I waited half hour because they ran out of stock.

Also as I mentioned in my previous post, my PC installed with Pioneer AVH-8450BT because I like their features, especially I can run several app via the screen (mind you, only limited add supported and currently it does not support iPhone 5)

Here's the video:

I think PC owners start to sound "syiok sendiri". No choice, the PC left us no choice!     

Guys, wanna check with you guys, how much is the interest now? I've been quote 2.52 from maybank and cimb, and 2.41 from affin and rhb, here in penang (9 years loan). However my fren just book a pc in shah alam today and been quoted 2.42 from maybank and 2.38 from rhb. Last week when the bank call me i tried to nego the interest rate but she said the rate is standard and fixed.

Btw according to my fren, shah alam showroom offer 7k discount and free tinted.
