Yea..i think that is avg for most of mpv 2.4...
Actually me & wifey have been using only mpv for daily ride almost 3years...first because not have much choices to buy a 2nd car...
Already bought myvi but sent to hometown for parent use...i m still rider tegar...haha
now after pC lauch & considering non of my car that i used more than 100k km mileage & hybrid 'free tax' end 2013...this the right time for us to have additional car...
My 04/09 MG 2.4 4WD currently just park at garage with mileage 91k km...so i can prolong the ownership haha...next to change is timing belt...but the meter is static cause everyday use pC...

My 2nd day with pC also bad experienced... U can see how other drivers esp bigger cc..lorry..trailer...treat small car like pC...
After overtake some cars at fast lane..they dont even think to give us a time to back at middle lane..tailgate us & beam somemore...
Then i change to the very left lane...shud be relax rite... But nooo...
I was horn & beam by trailer speed more than 90kph...force me to go to middle lane...cause they dont want to use a brake & change lane...
Dilemma...huhu

Getting my peal white prius c in the next few days (i hope). What is a good tint for it?  Not too expensive, but keep out lots of heat.  How much should i spend for a decent tint? SA offered me cheap one RM900. Sorry, never bought tint before so not sure. Thanks.

Planning to install front parking sensor with Etoni, worth it?
Venttec door visor its ok?

If i'm not mistaken iridium spark plug should last up to 100k. Not like a normal spark plug

Agree, BTW, our PC use engine less, the spark can even last longer.
Security film is like a double edged sword, it can protect you but also can kill you. imagine if your car fall into the river or water or caught fire and door is unable to open, you will be difficult to escape because you can't break the glass.

Smaller car like our PC always kena bully on the road. Especially if they see that your car is quite new, then even worse. If your face is not garang, buy a fierce looking sunglasses. I felt the difference when putting on fierce sunglasses. Just stare at those who wants to cut q. The will "shrink" back...

Prius V confirmed coming?

Haha...cannot calculate like that la bro... 1st half fuel indicator did not equivalent to half tank your petrol... Full tank consist of fuel, air n pressure...
You will get 400++km for 1st half...but remaining only max about 300km...

Today my wife is the driver，she pick up faster than me and just treat the PC as her Honda City from Cheras to IKEA, didn't bother the FC and eco score (end up eco score only 50-60). However, she managed to get 28.5km/l after off engine. Amazing.

Maybe faster pick up + remain constant speed = better FC?

i afraid that some GPS traker need wire cutting to enable remote engine stop or something else.. and this could void the warranty..

and i think that.. it very dangerous to cut off engine remotely by GPS system during the car is moving coz the car will lost power.. no power steering, less brake and our car might be involve in accident..

Feel so relief after reading the articles. Thanks for sharing.

A months ago, someone tried to steal my neighbor new BM but bumped into another neighbor and failed. 2 weeks ago, another neighbor kena cars stolen, the guys broke into his living room, grab the keys and drove away a Mercedes, Camry, Alphard and Vios. A weeks ago, another neighbor Alphard and Mercedes also get stolen.

Damn scare my car will disappear when I wake up. Now have to keep the key secured (under my pillow). 


wow.. yup kinda scary with car theft lately. As no matter luxury or normal car they still steal it.

Wonder if the report on crime decrease is true or not.

Route: Cheras -> Kesas High way -> Glenmarie

This morning I was rushing time, off the Eco mode, pick up fast (not yet into the PWR bar, but close) and drove 100-120kmh. Reach in 30 mins instead of 50 mins, however the FC (25.8km/l) is slightly better than Eco driving style (25.4km/l), and 20 mins saved.

Follow (not tailgate!) a red PC (WXB **32) on the fast lane just now. Found out that red PC is quite HOT.

Not only find a best security for the car...also for ur house.
Now a day those thief know needs the key only can drive off the car they also got the way to get the key from the owner.

@@ what is the life always got worry here and there...sigh

wow this one got 39.5km/L apparently over 13 miles... geng

Just collected my Aqua Mica Prius C today  .

Nearly went home without the car key because the SA had the key in his pocket when I drove off but luckily he remembered on time and called me so I waited for him by the side of the road to pass me back the key. Was told that I could still continue driving without the key but won't be able to start the car again later unless i have the key with me .

yep.. he own prius 1.8 ... what he tell me that after our prius ready..  gear at P, hand brake ON.. press a little bit accel paddle.. until your petrol engine start... the petrol engine will run only 30-45sec .. and then go to standby mode.. after that u start to drive your PC...

for me on the logic.. quite true.. coz our PC will start move using battery motor... and then after few KM/speed the petrol kick in... at that speed i think it a little bit " shock".. to the petrol engine...     

l found out that the battery level effect our PC FC a lot .. i can easyly get over 30km/L with battery level at least on 5-7 bar .. just drive over the eco ev zone to charge up the battery and the next thing u know is the FC getting over 30km/L .. i think engah manage to get his high FC is bcos he is charging uo the battery on highway so that the Hybrid system will use more electric motor to run the car ..

Nice keanutan. Will try this mode.

I just tried ECO mode first time today and good fc indeed ^^ . But then jam in my office back home and i manage 18km/l.

no need to warm up engine even on prius  and prius c .. our car come with a tank that store the heated oil so that when the engine is cold it will pump into moving part and the atkinson system help to raising up the correct tempature for the engine ..

even none hybrid engine (new engine ) manufacturer also not recommend to warm up the engine ..

saw some article also say early morning stationery warm up engine do more damage than start up drive slowly ..

the only thing need to do is not to high rev the engine .. on early morning start ..

Has anyone managed to get Toyota to:

(i) Replace the rubber whetherstrip at the driver's door to minimise the loud wind noise from entering.

(ii) Replace or apply anti-rust coating on the exhaust pipe and hinges that were rusted since the delivery of car.

i got mine prius c too , 1k service first only comment
