Last night, I did some 'spirited' driving session along GCE which i'm quite familiar with. One thing concerned me was the lack of steering feedback. Need to be careful and lightly applying changes when approaching corners at high speed. You can easily oversteer as you feel there was no resistance from the tyres to change direction. Then the sudden braking feeling was a bit different than I'm used to in other cars. Conclusion: I need to spend more quality time alone with this car. Missus always hide the key from me. Hahaha.

Got some petty cash to spend on the car today but seems nothing interesting is available. I might change the number plates only.

Car registration number selection charge is RM210 for JPJ Selangor. I guess the same charge applies to other states as well. What you need to do:
1. Fill up the JPJ form with the new car owner information and signature.
2. A copy of the new car owner Mykad (front and back)
3. Go to JPJ, take ur q number and wait. Make sure u have 3 to 4 reg number options in your mind or just write them on a piece of paper.
4. Your number is up, approach the counter, give the form and mykad copy and tell them the number that you want. If not available then tell them your second option and so on.
5. If number is available then you pay the RM210 charges and the counter rep will give you the confirmation slip or just printout on your form.
6. That is your registration number for your new car and you have to register it within 1 month. Else, JPJ forfeit your money and the number is back into the selection pool.
7. Give the confirmation slip or the form to your car SA to proceed with the registration.

All my cars and bike having nice three digit numbers.

I drive Prius C the same as driving other cars. Always following the national speed limit ...... when someone from opposite direction gimme the flash or approaching AES.

Just want to share android apps that I use to track service records, replacement parts cost, car expenses and of course to remind me how much I had spend on accessories.

YES. I manually key in every service visits, parts replacement or any accessories add-ons. Great apps for me to track spareparts price. But not fuel fill-up, don't bother to do it... too frequent and leceh. I just track my fuel expenses on my credit card.

Fogging on the outer side of car window/windshield glasses is normal case due to humidity difference between car cabin and outside surrounding. If it is not raining, I will open some windows to neutralise the difference and blast the aircond and use wiper. If it always fogging then the driver is certainly hot .... a good sign.

someone ask about speed limiter - our car is not for Japan market, so no speed limitet at 180km/h. For all JDM cars and global cars destined for Japan market, they have to adhere to 180km/h speed limit even the speedometer only max at 180km/h.

Anyone has the electronic version ie pdf of Prius C Owner Manual? Hope you could provide the dload link or email to me. Thanks in advance.

You are right. It got to do with colour temperature. Yellow light temperature has better penetration against rain and fog compared to white light. It beats the purpose of having foglamp that couldn't function properly during foggy situation.


Thanks hasnul for the link.

Guys,

How long will it take for the first Prius C 1000km svc at Toyota SC? If they say appt at 10am, does it means they start working on my car at 10am or I have to wait from that time? I just want to know whether i should wait there or optimise my Saturday morning with something relaxing.

I managed to get an appointment on Saturday at Sg Buloh SC. Arrived exactly at 10am, get a number and few mins later the Service Advisor entertained me. The service took around 2 hours and definitely queuing for the carwash took much of the time. I definitely ask them to skip washing if I`m in a hurry next time. I got the comfy sofa in front of big LCD tvs in the waiting room screening Prince of Persia. Overall, quite happy spending the 2 hours there.

I would like to have the Aimgain rear bumper. Nice!

Those cars are not even in the EPA top ten fuel-sipper list for 2013 model (excluding electric and plugin vehicles). Prius and Prius C top the list for 2013 models (excluding electric and plugin models).

Hope you could approve me as well. Me .. the guy with the blue fullface helmet as profile picture.

TQ Bro! So many racun there.

Do not trouble yourself to do the analysis as there were few organisations that already done the tests with reliable reports and analysis such as EPA. In its latest report, Prius C recorded 53mpg for city driving and 46mpg for highway driving ... which is the top fuel efficient car excluding electric vehicles and plugin hybrids. It still need to charge the battery while stuck in traffic jams but in overall it is still consuming less fuel than conventional gasoline engine cars.
