QUOTE(RegistraCHAN @ Jul 18 2013, 10:10 AM) if u got the best offer one and need fren to bulk for best offer count me in 1 thing about skirts, thinkin for skirt Raya oso   I think tat the front skirts easy damage because PC not have camera or sensor, now my PC will rub the lower part of the bumper with certain slope likes ramp at certain shop lot because didnt notice or think is low...so far no prob with the skirt....standard spring with spring cushion... Due to work nature, skirts not suitable for me.... My hybrid cabling also seems like got pull by something but not damage....I rescrew it wit washer so is not too low.... Possible TT session I explain more detail......  |

QUOTE(smliu @ Aug 5 2013, 06:19 PM) Nice! I am thinking to get one but reluctant because of the few kg added to the car. Once a while I need to drive through East-West highway, that might help a lot. My previous has lower torsion bar and front strut bar, very nice to drive @ cornering. I have all the bars from ultra racing except arb because of weight also....16mm not that heavyThanks for sharing. arb 19mm really heavy... I have 19mm for front and rear 23mm for my old corrolla....separate install never notice, now remove it, is really heavy... The bars improve the car same as arb but is more stable due to the stiffness... improve braking... total price of all the bars(front at absorber & low, mid, rear) install is slight more compare to arb but improve the whole car chasis... Any PC can drive about 80 to 90km/h at these roads below I salute... 1) Tanjung kling to pedas linggi exit 2) rawang exit to roads to batang berjuntai Previously without this bars only about 60km/h, faster keep on braking....very irritating for me... I m from Johor but always travel to Melaka and place to site with PC.... This post has been edited by NewGUY: Aug 14 2013, 11:16 AM |

QUOTE(smliu @ Oct 4 2013, 07:10 PM) I am sure Toyota is going to have PC local assembled in order to compete with the local assemble Jazz Hybrid. Further more 2014 improved Jazz Hybrid fc is better than current PC with bigger size and better shape. Jazz is selling like hot cake in Japan now. This new Honda Hybrid uses dual clutch as someone posted here before....High FC does not mean low maintenance... Toyota PC is high FC and low maintenance By the way, Toyota is a car maker, they r always 1st to have new technology than any other car maker... For eg: only toyota car have 5 valves per cylinder where the 5th valves only open at 8500rpm during the 1980s which is Honda know is as VTEC Correct me if I m wrong..Just for sharing Honda is not a car maker, they r engine maker.... Thats is y now, I have some owners friends of Honda Jazz CKD have many issues and unofficial recall for the car which is less than a year.... |

QUOTE(dexjac @ Dec 30 2013, 10:56 PM) Hi Ben, thanks for the effort to answer. For point 2, I meant if I'm going down hill say from genting highlands, can I engage to B while driving in D, or I can only engage while in full stop? manual mention pls dun use B in 1st 1000kmLastly, I have another question: Understand from the manual is that the car door can be opened via 1) remote, 2) walk near it and touch the handle and 3) via the mechanical key. Lets say the remote has no battery, I can open the door with the mechanical key, but is there anyway I can start the engine with the mechanical key? In worst case scenario, let's say the remote ran out of battery and I'm at isolated location, how to start the car? Saw a blue PC near Giant puchong after dinner. Very chun! |

QUOTE(beck_ken @ Feb 15 2014, 06:41 PM) same, monday can know. Mine was sent to sc ytd (Friday) and my car was run till 60k KM thanks for the infoI guessed we have the same problem. at which mileage your car shown this indicator/message? after 10k km, i self-service for engine oil most probably cuz we came from the same hybrid technology/family but hopefully everything will be ok. Guys, just be careful with your car when your car reached 50k km - 60k km cuz for the past 2-3 weeks, i can feel my car unusual. The mileage (xkm/l) will keep on dropping when i drive at super hot weather, then car respond is like very cacat, not the usual smooth respond, power really loss out ALOT like what mentioned in the link shared above but the message finally shown when i driving at jam road ytd (spoiled all my valentine's plan cuz i was about to go and collect my present  )Will keep you guys update on Monday Did u change ur air filter? Previously u said u use the oil until very long until how many k? i believe is more than 10k... What engine u using? any self modification? did u notice ur hybrid system coolant low? when you buy your car? There is a owner already reach 50k, his car is very responsive and mileage no complain... hot weather engine response sure slow... If that sluggish i think 3 yrs back owner for 1.8 already point out in other forum, when break down only been mention here....I m sure u ll ask the other owners whether they feel or not? I remember u mention u r busy with personal stuffs but if the mileage get below 15km/l, i guess u start worry and find some answers... mind to share?? hope u dun mind me ask a lot.... I m almost reach 41k a bit concern here.... |

QUOTE(beck_ken @ Feb 17 2014, 12:06 AM) 1. Retriever is the brand. I don't think many of u heard before but i have been using it since my Vios to now my current Prius c and my civic FD. Our local rally champ (that Singh guy) advertised this before thanks for the reply....2. Around 15k and the engine oil quality still nice. You can try run your car till 12k km and go service, ask the service to let u see the oil quality and you will know how well hybrid can be to keep the engine oil still at good condition even exceeded the targeted km limit 3. Air filter changed once and about to change to high flow cuz waiting stock to arrive 4. Hybrid coolant still at the top level 5. My car almost 2 years in 2 months time. I'm the very first batch owner for Prius C in Malaysia 6. Self mod - anti roll bar, spring buffer, and I lifted up my bonnet a bit. May be, cuz I check everytime I changed my engine oil, and the level still at top. Anyway, no wild guess, let just be positive and see what's the result of the diagnosed tmr. Another member also have the same fate as me If indeed is what you mentioned, it is up to UMW or Toyota Japan to throw the ball and ask for recall. Good!! u no self mod electrical then u r quite save la... Tats wat many sc say mod anything except electrical....i think u know they got something like black box system in car where any parameter run out they will record...then can check the nearest location... |

QUOTE(Phc @ Jun 1 2014, 11:58 AM) Seriously i owns a prius and I dont think this car got a fast pickup unless u hentam it, which is not suitable for otto cycle engine. And the redline for prius is only 4200 rpm, to protect the ecvt. The only positive fact for this car is it can drive smoothly at 110km/h due to the nature of otto engine and ecvt. What is your definition of slow?Do u read the spec ? Torque max 120NM on non eco is equal to wat car? 0 to 100km/h Is already do less than 11s.... U use eco all the time of course any car also tapao u la.... Otto cycle couple with motor to get wat it claim...u understand wat u read.... I m getting like 180km/h top speed...still slow?....i can get also 850km per tank.... where in the world u find this kind of car? Prius max redline is 5000 rpm, on eco mod is until 3000 rpm... Do homework before comment.... I already above still not satisfy, is the car problem, driver problem....no balls to go faster.... No offence but if still not happy, go and sue Toyota for giving fake data or specs.... This post has been edited by NewGUY: Jun 1 2014, 07:38 PM |

QUOTE(Phc @ Jun 2 2014, 01:02 PM) Sorry my dear typo. Should be atkinson. 120nm is not straight torque to the wheel, 120nm is the torque create from the engine and motor. Cvt drag and delayed out most of the torque. Thats why turbo car usually dont use cvt as their transmission. Etc 250NM, due to cvt , the real output torque to the wheel only 200NM. If you compare our EV mode with pure EV car , you will be surprise. 180km/h top speed is normal for a 135hp car. Even the prius c can reach 170km/h. Previous say slow now is normal...so means is not slow lo....  Prius C is only 99ps 120Nm for prius C By the way, lag is bcos of throttle drive by wire, just need to corrected.... |

QUOTE(wanzalizan @ Jun 1 2014, 09:56 PM) Changed my PC shoes today - Ecopia EP200. Finally, after almost a year I didnt manage to register anything above 25km/l, i did it right after the new change...I must say that we shouldnt wait for the tyre to reach it maximum level cos the FC is a real suck! Bro, highway always 120 to 130, sure kenot get la....Bro Keanutan, also below 25, he always drive on non eco, and just step.... U gradually accelerate, and your speed at range 70 to 100, impossible cant get.... Tire max u always do balancing can reach 60k km.... I change mine at 40k km ++ and still able to trade in for RM 50 per pc.... When tire this mileage i Still getting good fc...... |

QUOTE(Phc @ Jun 3 2014, 02:29 PM) Well, there's a metal threaded belt in MG1 which is continuously running. Well, if you floor your prius, you will hear the tranaxle creating a loud whinning sound. Which is common in all cvt vehicle. There is no belt on prius...MG1 is motor la, to crank MG2, MG2 i can believe can be start be 12v Whining is motor sound at MG2 to shaft when on EV only got timing chain.... the just feel slow bcos of comfort.... the rubber band is just the explanation for people understanding, not the really build And besides, since u claim Toyota giving fake data, u might as well as them, their test method... U can claim there and outside people can prove wrong, u can sued for selling bogus items.... If CVT not your cup of tea, shud no buy PC, get something else.... Buy already then complain2, anyway got ppl offer u already ma, sell la.... I also dunno what your problem, 1st say engine, then gearbox, then mg1....since so good, might as well design something better than Toyota, China had claim they built better than Toyota, u can try also.... |

QUOTE(SYL17 @ Jun 4 2014, 06:59 PM) hey guys, same prob here...don't you feel that the plastics are easily scratched or dirtied? Talking about the black plastics When passengers go in and out of the car, the shoes will brush the plastics, like side of flooring, or the glovebox etc 2ndly, sometimes our sidepanel plastics at the door, the light grey plastics, which you lead your arms on.. will trap dirt when you clean your car from dust. Had to wash the cloth each time for each door. If not, the dirtied water from the cloth will stick in between the plastics' design. Sorry, hard to describe what I wanted to say. English really fails today haha. Any good tips? My car going to be 1 year old.. inside now have marks here and there. u can wipe off the black part plastic rub easily with cloth or with plastic polish the armrest grey cloth u can use fabric cleaner or die black the grey plastic use plastic polish or can spray black.... hope this helps... the best spray or die all black but u ll see a lot of dust... |

QUOTE(Phc @ Jun 5 2014, 12:47 AM) The reason i bought this car is use it as my company delivery car. Of coz i did drove it once in a while, it sucks but we need it as it saves hell lot of fuel bill , and it creates a green imagine for my company. Win win solution, why not ? That whine sound is not motor sound, is cvt whining sound. If you can hear the motor sound from inside, something is wrong wth your car, except the regen braking whining sound. If come here keep saying, your PC sucks why in the 1st place join here? come here complain pc sucks? Some other car manufacturer come here pay to comment Toyota Prius C sucks? I had never seen someone buy car keep complain 1, is like throwing 100k but do like your car, I guess u r pretty rich to do this.... For your information any moving part got sound either low pitch or high pitch CVT is gearbox u no move no sound, so i dunno how u can hear sound when moving,mostly is tire sound... On quiet mornin, no on air cond on EV, u press pedal slowlly, can confirm got sound or not... Regen actually comes from the MG2 itself (the aeroplane sound), there are members change the calliper to bigger size, nothing there... I have no issue wit my car, u got a lot of problem with Prius C maybe u need look for Toyota.... Even Tamiya motor when running also got sound...do u know how fast your mg2 spin? After all is a company for u, will your staff take care, unless u the staff la.... Company car,press only la... Before that complain everything no good, now save petrol for you so still no good? No power? You totally not understand your car..... You compare the difference wit other car then only compare orange and apple.... Maybe big boss compare more different.. |
