Plan to up grade to 1.8 Prius or Lexus CT200H?

Bro have u consider looking for a module to plug in can control the on and off engine or a sports mode function...like the lexus CT200H

I think the sports mode that make the engine wont stop and electric motor more on acceleration......

Any idea on Lexus CT200H mechanism on this....

I think u x drive that much thats y u think expensive....

Now about half my petrol usage is contribute to paying my monthly installment as my mileage almost 4k every mth...

If I travel 8k a month, basically the pay back is same to my installment.....

if drive normal car high FC, u ll be paying for petrol instead of paying installment

everyday for 10km to work then not tat worth lo...

unless your usage is very low, i also say is expensive to drive this car....

for me now my after deduct the usage for petrol, i m paying like a myvi installment....

Is not form, is already when u bought....just did not check thoroughly

I go ask SA & he show the new PC at show room also got the not smooth surface....

Solution install side skirt or past carbon fiber sticker....

half day later pun kam = divide gold (divide mandarin oranges)

I tot is a super small tweeter....

Besides, someone mention tat there is a dummy safety buckle, i think tat not neccessary...

I at time my work requires to drive every few hundred meter to come out car and check something so is a hassle to buckle & unbuckle some more with the safety belt alarm....

So wat i do is take the passenger belt side and buckle to driver side, no noise no warning, this is also I driving alone....

Please do follow this act, this act is done under own risk

thanks....

Theoretically Semi Oil is design about 7k to 8k the most, when at 7k or 8k, u will feel something... you can check around...unless u just 1 cheap...

Fully is design for 10k...

the service people say is same bcos is easy for them manage only since is standard at 10k..... is your choice to believe them....

My theory maybe 3rd to 4th maybe still acceptable but after that better use fully, as 1st and 2nd & 3rd service already change early...

I have someone vios owners say their car engine not smooth for about after 1.5 years, by calculation shud bout 30k or more d, if frequent or klang valley driver

I ll send mine for 3 rd service next weekend. i ll go for fully....

this is my opinion, i have read thru many things about engine oil....

Oil is of cos oil....

But the viscosity play a role.....

New engine is better put lower viscosity oil is can thru the tight places where thick oil cant get there....

Some new engine if use thick oil may cos problem where some part the thick oil cant reach there.....

Besides, thinner oil, lower viscosity oil is lighter in weight, higher temp range, better lubrication & protection....

if calculate if every 5k, u ll paying more labour ( toyota labour not cheap), parts and etc and more time send to service, u calculate yourself....

Every 5k, too fast for me....

then ppl who sometimes service at 5k delay their service some to max I heard from previous is 8k for mineral oil.....

U save the on engine oil but destroy your engine in very long term.....

I personally would not 1 risk a 100k car for the extra RM110 EO.....

If the above the supervisor, gimme that remark, my response is Toyota can guarantee after 100k KM the engine will not have issue if follow is his instructions.....

Please follow rules & regulation, it is a must to off engine....

we got big drawer d, i do x c y need to close the compartment...

just plug & play at cigarette voltage stabilizer tats comes with volt meter

I heard brothers about 60 to 70, i got mine from other shop for 70, i can c my voltage always show 14.3V...

when service just take it out....

I also take out my old voltage stabilizer & plug in all, when service time remove it...of cos i use cigarette lighter power splitter.......

batt things depends on nasib, my old toyota corrolla batt, i use the voltage stabilizer connect to battt direct, till today the batt still ok, the batt was change in year 2009 & is a dry battery...so till today is reaching 4 years....

correct

FYI, according to the wiring, hybrid batt & normal battery is somehow connected to each other indirectly...

anything change, recommend after warranty

normal is a same like normal, wet batt lo...the back seat is higher compare to normal...

hybrid batter kenot keep the current very long, norm battery can keep few days to a week....

normal batt to run equipment for 12 volts....

both is 2 different batteries for different application....

IINM, 3 yrs or 100k, even for batt....

My calculation for the battery cost..

Lets say use for 400k KM so the operating cost per km will be 8k/400k so is RM0.02/km

Lets say use for 200k KM so the operating cost per km will be 8k/200k so is RM0.04/km

Lets say sell the car before the above mileage 0 cost.....

Besides, some is getting like RM0.05 or RM 0.09 per km is almost same as modded 150cc or a 250cc bike....(figures obtain from fuelly.com)

If put to consideration of both, per km petrol is only about RM0.07 to RM 0.13, still lower than conventional cars
