QUOTE(waiDEE @ Sep 19 2012, 05:30 PM) U will reduced the wheel diameter...then 1cycle 55 will not same as 1cycle 65...you achieved less distance..or your speed is reduced... So when i change from 65 to 55, will PC notice it is less speed while the tyre is spining the same?Added on September 19, 2012, 5:49 pm QUOTE(mamat_teruja85 @ Sep 19 2012, 05:36 PM) nice answers waidee...hehe...planing to swap my default tire with wider one.....but importantly not the nosier one...hehe Wider tyres give better handling, but worse FC. How to choose a less noisy tyre? bigger rim? This post has been edited by aragongon: Sep 19 2012, 05:49 PM |

If your SA tell you that a PC is in stock and really for pick up, what risk could it be??

QUOTE(skng74 @ Sep 21 2012, 01:03 PM) Even if the savings is to user, I doubt the price of the Leaf will be worth it. My guess the price would be between 150-200k. So, hybrids at the moment will still be the more sensible choice. Based on my study, a single charge on Leaf can mostly go 200km, so how can we go from KL to JB/Penang? Have to spend overnight somewhere and charge the car?Besides, the electricity is so expensive now, i wonder is it worthy? End up additional RM300 in the electricity bill, then it is same as petrol. Considering Malaysia power plants also using gas and petrol, Leaf end up still burn petrol/gas, and during the enegry conversion on Leaf's "petrol/gas (power plant) --> electricity --> battery (car) --> the wheel" compared to normal car's "petrol (engine) --> the wheel direct", there must be more energy lose during conversion on Leaf, so does it really environmental friendly?

QUOTE(mamat_teruja85 @ Sep 24 2012, 06:55 PM) to me, i go for paint protection coating instead of wax....for 800rm pearl white u kene syg kereta u..u need to belai that color ma....... Cool, how much is the paint protection coating?Added on September 25, 2012, 10:25 am QUOTE(timeonce @ Sep 25 2012, 08:52 AM) to engah, I saw the Kastam paper of my PC last weekend. It is RM59093 for car and RM3300 shipment. There is another RM13300 charge which i don't understand, the rest is UMW Toyota profit.Yup. Actually i like US version of PC where the heated seat and softtex leather. Seem nice. And the moon roof and add 2 more airbag. And their DVDAVN is better than us also and add 2 more option in display to calculate difference in price of fuel. But then. Think we got our PC cheapest as no excise duty but have AP + Sales tax. If not.. RM200k... which i will think twice first as can get Camry, Sonata or K5 at that range. Even mondeo and Passat CC is available at that price. For RM97k. its a steal i guess at least for us Malaysian. Even Sg have their PC around RM270k according to one of our forummer which buy a PC in SG. To Rolland, Even i love PC alot. I suggest test drive all the car first. But if u ask me.. Honda and Toyota use different tech. Do note that insight at traffic light will off engine and you have zero air con. ^^ . From outside the Insight may look bigger. But do put some luggage inside and u feel the difference. Downside of PC is behins seat best is 2 person only. 3 person and the person sitting in the middle will have their xxx sour after one hour of drive. Proven and tested d ^^ . My SA told me if Camry does not have import tax and excise duty, it gonna be same price as PC. I wonder if he is bluffing me. Added on September 25, 2012, 10:33 amGuys, when you pick up the car, does your SA/ Toyota branch gave you a briefing how to use the car, e.g. display panel, start button, car lock system, maintenance, tire pressure etc.?

Guys, do you apply additional steering/brake/gear lock when you park your car? How good is PC immobilizer? Is PC hot target for stolen car out there?

Just got my PC this morning, silver, WXJ **38, cheras!!! Excited!
Can't get used to the brake and pedal. Need to take some time. First trip about 30km, managed to reach 21km/l only. Amazed by the way to lock and unlock the car. Toyota upgrade the radio specs, I got bluetooth without extra cost!! My SA warn me not to change the rim, she said will void warranty. |

QUOTE(conqu3ror @ Sep 26 2012, 03:13 PM) Congrats, what colour is yours? So fast now is WXJ Wow, upgrade of radio spec? Can show us the picture?   Tested last night, can play songs from my mobile phone, pick up and make call, the radio has its own contact list (can sync with the phone), speed dialing etc. Next thing to try: play movie with my phone while stuck at traffic jam, and the bluetooth player will give me a car theatre system (it would be best with galaxy tab/ipad).  Added on September 27, 2012, 1:20 pm QUOTE(benhbenh @ Sep 26 2012, 11:06 PM) just received call from my SA this morning.. said my PC will delay until Nov.. i booked in June..that time he said i can get my PC within 3months.. i waited 3months and now have to wait for another 2months.. Be patient, you will have it soon. Coz not everyone can get their loan approved.  If you can't wait, forfiet that RM 80, get back RM720 of your booking fee, go other show room ask for ready stock. They will have ready stock, coz ppl can't get loan. I booked mine in July, was told I have to wait till Oct, but get the call last week due to ppl loan rejected, then have to rush all the process these few days coz the cheras show room wanna get the car sold before October. Can you imagine I get the car while I haven't signed my loan agreement? lol As a gift of patient, you will get radio with bluetooth (if you not going for the DVD one). I am damn happy with it.

QUOTE(engah @ Sep 27 2012, 08:38 PM) Mine has no BT. So i bought a cable to connect so that I can listen to international radio programmes via 3G. I actually planning to do so, I had even bought the cable.By the way, I found a WEIRD situation: when i finish my journey, my battery has about 5 to 7 bar of power level, then i just off my car, lock and leave . Later when i come back to start it (less than 2 hour), the battery has 3 bar left, can't even start EV mode as low battery warning is given. Did anyone of you experience that? Is it normal? |

QUOTE(chrymnd @ Sep 28 2012, 01:35 PM) How come your original player different from mine one? Mine one still same as the hilux one.. not same as your current radio because mine one dont have bluetooth to handle calling and receive call functions. My accessory man said Toyota upgrade their radio this month, too many bluetooth radio outside. Again, I didn't top up any money!Added on September 28, 2012, 1:45 pmJust read a bit on LYN Insight, they are excited when they reach 20km/l. Normal drive during these few days I also can get 24km/l, Prius C is a good buy. Now learning to reach 27km/l, then 30km/l, 32km/l, hopefully can achieve god level of 35km/l in the records.

QUOTE(timeonce @ Sep 28 2012, 05:55 PM) ^^.. Cheer up bro. I think maybe we PC owner is more humble. ^^ . Good saying, timeonce!I think time will tell and more case of battery failure for Honda will come out soon. As i see alot of case with IMA . But then.. best not to bash. All hybrid is good. Just Toyota and Honda use different tech ^^ . And most driver for PC is humble and low profile. Unlike.. you know ... ^^ No comment. Have a great weekend all. Yup.. now engah is my target haha ^^ . Should we break enginer after 1k service to go more than 120kmph like normal car ? I have already reached 110kmh within the first few days (within 300km total mileage), any consequence?  |

QUOTE(vey99 @ Sep 28 2012, 09:19 PM) the rating for Honda hybrid is about 44mpg in US, which they are being sued for becos consumer find it barely achievable. thats about 19 kml. I guess 20 is possible with some hypermiling method used. but to get 600+ km on rm60 is quite tall, u probably need to drive entire tank with ac off. I like your word "tekan accel like no trmw one"!!! in any case, most of the H hybrids i see all tekan accel like no trmw one. wonder why they even chosed the hybrid. Added on September 28, 2012, 9:20 pm u reach ur destination faster i suppose I tot Prius C is advance enough i just treat it like my previous Wira. Didn't know need to special care while still under 1000km mileage. Hope no tear out/damage done on the engine. Have to admit that PC is so stable and quiet which is very tempting to "tekan accel like no trmw one". |

QUOTE(vey99 @ Oct 2 2012, 10:07 AM) i dunno why but i get slightly annoy when a PC overtakes me. i'm like, "dude, use EV mode lah! why drive so fast!" I found out that most of the PC drivers on the road are ladies and they are not in this forum. So we are minority, who concern of the FC ROI of the car. |
