nope... unintention acceleration is part and parcel of atkinson cycle hybrid... juz like prius last time..

standard manufacturer practice after phasing out a certain model to keep 10 years worth of spare parts for car that already on the road...

things to be concern is more on the body parts as engine part is source-able easily..

i guess the correct term is NO demand.. not LOW demand..

experience with honda crv 1st Gen, engine oil gone. when rev the engine high.. will get engine oil smell in the cabin.. can't remember what been done.. but to my memory something very cheap and simple..that problem gone.

experience with proton savvy ... engine oil gone.. SC tighten the nut where the flush down the engine oil too tight causing that thingy(can't remember what it called) bengkok.. to know this happen because everytime car park long time.. got oil stain on my driveway... bring back to SC.. replace that thingy(less than RM10) ..

I am very keen to know what the SC replace until 2k which is half the cost.....
since not fix the issue. maybe can write to Honda Malaysia to complaint..


a friend of mine complaint on his fiesta.. end up he got a new one for free... (the power of complaint... u just need to know how to complaint)

if u in klang valley area.. try look for shorty5 in this forum.. i follow his fb but waiting for money fall from sky to upgrade my HU

depend on your budget..

from 1k to 3k

maintenance is quite ok if you do it at outside SC or u stretch your maintenance period to 10k km using the fully synthetic..

CVTF changed every 40k - or when reminder come up
fuel strainer changed every 40k
spark plug changed every 100k...

u can use K&N air filter.. no need to changed. just wash.. RM300 inclusive of recharger
dust filter in the aircond is RM50 for carbon activated.. (can search here in forum)


others.. not much maintenance.. no maintenance for the hybrid stuff...

nope..

when u buy second hand.. u have to check with honda if the warranty still have... or check on the services booklet..

prius battery much more expensive than insight and yes, insight no battery can move, like a normal car with 1.3l engine , prius cannot move without battery but not much reported case of insight with bad battery.

insight maintenance is quite expensive if done in SC esp 40k, 80k and 100k due to fuel strainer replacement every 40k and plug replacement every 100k. some of members here already service outside.. quite ok if you can find those capable and have the necessary parts.

prius is bigger in sense and if you could save more fuel if you know how to drive it well, insight, u just drive it. either way u drive it, you still save than normal car.
prius C is a no-no, very cramp for me. although insight is not much bigger, at least bigger boot.

prius second is a bit more expensive than insight.

if compare insight and city, not much different except 1 CBU 1 CKD.

petronas ron95. if I'm driving I can get around 19km/l for stop and go... wifey driving..17km/l.. but wifey say I drive like very relax sunday driving...

Me full tank can go around 600 before fuel light on. Don believe the range as I usually got 800 to 900 but never got that

yups. that is average to your trip computer. to see real time, go to next screen.

try getting second opinion first.. find reliable aircond repair shop and get their opinion first. sometimes they could just recondition the air condition...

do not tell the workshop you going to what the SC told you and see what their opinion first..

but first, u need to find a reliable aircond workshop first...

I think he went to Hinly PJ.. not waiting there.. so go watch movie at TGV.. \
correct me if I interprate wrongly

check back with your mechanics, once u used fully, u can't go semi.. campur campur viscosity could cause gasket burn leading to oil leak.

car above 100k, should be better using fully syn... since older car means efficiency degradation, unless u rajin do torque overhaul after 100k which is not necessary.

i learnt it from the Automotive Engineering Head in JPJ(the person who sign-off on car testing before can be brought into Malaysia) so I am sharing it here. and you can have your own opinion.

no need to bang me just because i'm against your idea.

we are here to share. not become a warrior.

there's forum-mer here in LYN who does not agrees with this concept too, but he DIY port and polish the piston head, so I have no doubt on his opinion as he gave me quite a good explanation on why he did not agree with my sharing.

for u. i close eye.
