QUOTE(twwong @ Dec 4 2012, 12:41 AM) I can only get my car next year T_T (around 3 months of waiting for the color I want, but worth the wait?) Why need to wait so long to get your car ? So back to the old but important question, how long do you think the NiMH batteries of our Hybrids can last in our climate? 10 years ++? Is high temperature bad for the battery life? I have to park outdoor for the place I work......................... but it's free :]. War of the batteries............ Insight (Nickel Metal Hydride) VS the new Civic Hybrid (Lithium Ion). What are some general pros and cons of both types? Despite some minor disadvantages the life of Nickel Metal Hydride battery is actually longer compared to Lithium Ion right???  |

@oneInsight333
someone have this issue before from the fb group. it is about the steering rod issue. Please try to check with service center since your car is still very new condition. It should not be like that. @babycherie The Petrol distance is available from our insight either year 2010 or year 2012. It is call RANGE when you select the screen inside our insight Multi Information Display (MID). The major difference from Year 2010 and Year 2012 is external bumper change, meter display design change, more lower rear seat, boot light etc. |

Dear insighters,
Today i went to 2 different showroom asking for best deal around penang. Tried to get 12k discount as what have been achieved by one of the forumer but i only managed to get 11k. Thats good considering another salesperson offered me 8.8k. Now, the color i want is ready. Just need me to proceed with the documents. With the saving i potentially got, where should i spend the money next? The utility package of rm1110? A nice bodykit? Or a leather seat upgrade (honda or outside)? |

Hi! Insighters.
There are many good and bad reviews for the hybrid. But, comparing to city and civic, what factors determines the low resale value of the insight in Malaysia? Any opinion? |

@oneInsight333
If you do not mind sure can wait till 1K if you think is it not very serious. You may contact service center to book 1K service as early on that day so the engineer have time to check on your car. |

QUOTE(ahcheap @ Dec 5 2012, 02:32 AM) The battery price Ahcheap: U r right, But, Honda explained that the price will gradually come down to abt RM3k after prob 5 years as the volume gains. (Dunno how true)Apart from that, I noticed that servicing at Honda Schedule until 100,000km for Insight is abt RM2k higher thn Civic's. Even normal service also slightly high. And no need talk bout replacing parts later. How come? These translate to higher maintenance cost and hence, lower resale value? |
