Yes stuck in traffic jam the FC can be terrible, probably 15km/l and less. If city drive with lot of junction, then you don't even have much chance to charge the battery full.

Try imagine for conventional engine car, their FC could even worst as they keep idle and use more fuel when move when jam.

Yes, the battery replacement cost... haha

But we only will think about it after 8-10 years. By then we probably had change to another Hybrid or EV car.

Since year 2000, they said will abolish the Car Import Tax for car import from ASIAN country. But it had been 13 yrs nothing much had change. Now another 3 years? Let see if Proton release EV and REEV, some tax will impose to Proton's competitors again.

I don't think Hybrid car will 100% tax free after 2013 if BN still the Government.

for the spare we should also pump 35-36 psi

Cause US spec spare tyre are those space save tyre (thinner), where ours is full size sport rim tyre.

Interested to the door visor also, maybe we can order together to get a better deal.

Anyone interested probably can list down their name

PC is much intelligent then we imaging. Lot of features had build in to it.

Correction...

Prius & Camry Hybrid are manufacture in Thailand. So you can see Prius & Camry Hybrid in Thailand but can't found any Prius C, cause in Thailand Prius is almost same price Prius C due to import duty.

Maybe only Prius C still remain in Japan.

Toyota SC will be more expensive, guess at least RM1k, if other good quality workshop may be RM700-1000

My advise is just leave it first, then you can repaint & repair the dents all in one go with other scratches.

Honestly, a lot of reckless driver & motor rider in KL. We can't totally avoid scratches & dents.

Last time my car kena scratch, four part repaint, 2 side doors and side front & behind. Cost me RM600-700
Even bumper repaint will cost RM200++ for normal shop. Of cause depends on work quality & the warranty provided.

My PC bonnet had deep dents (Stone), ask Toyota SC, they quote about RM400 repaint for 1 piece. Repair with Toyota SC is not cheap.

Just count how many pieces to repaint plus your is Pearl White (additional Cost), you will roughly know the cost.

Good Luck

Just share some repaint experience of my parent car, repaint really depends on the quality of workmanship. Some may cut corner in order to charge customers cheaper. Resulted the repaint part start pearling after 2-3 years. After all it look so ugly.

Please get warranty whenever possible, so they will more careful & won't cut corner when repainting even they charge slightly extra. So that you won't face the same problem as me.

Wow you both really fully utilise Hybrid Car(save fuel).

Heavy travel to outstation for work?

RM1700++ Wow, much more then we expected. With that cost you can repaint the whole car.

Hope you now believe repair cost in Toyota SC never be cheap.

Not sure you will need to have a polis report in order to claim insurance and polis may saman you for accident cause (RM300).

So fast think about resale value? So you mean resale after 1 year or 5 years or 10 years?? Certainly no one can tell you the price until the day you intend to sell.

BTW do you own PC?

Probably you can try check it on mudah.com.my

Some selling at 85-90k

Toyota & Honda car always have the best resale value compare to others.

You mean we need to get the new 2 unit of keys and replace door lock instead of just replace a single unit?

Please let us know how much to replace the windscreen.

I believe the tinted is include if you insure enough.

Get a trained dog or cat, so they will look after your car from rat and maybe robber.

Prius C is a great ECO/Green car with state of the art safety system.
Although my self had achieve 180km/h and feel still very stable, but this is not the main design for it.

What we mean by green car is it not main for speed and acceleration. But to save fuel and comfort. Petrol car can do much better then PC. but not the fuel saving part.

If you like speeding with good pick up and handling, you just look at the wrong car. Why not CR-Z which sporty and really can speed.

That is really a good question. Everyone just do their guessing.

One thing for sure, if no extension of tax examption for hybrid car, you will having trouble order it after the budget.

SA would said, sorry this year order with tax exemption had full. Just like what happened to Audi A6 Hybrid, 2013 order had fully place after the launch.

To play safe, better place order b4 the budget and you may delay the delivery or cancel booking anytime.

It is recommended to insure 85-90k.

Myself insure for 85k only

Cost about RM2400++ lucky I got NCD else I will be eating glass this month.

Are you work in finance?

Reducing Balance Depreciation??

Best is just compare with used car market price.

Most of time car depreciate faster then 10% rate.
