Fully town driving with average 22km/h would give you around 23cent/km
Fully highway, should give you 15cent/km?
Some even recorded an impressive 13.5cent/km for this C segment vehicle

If you are affordable to pay for Insight price, if you don't mind small leg room of rear seat, if you don't mind to pay expensive car maintenance, then go for Insight.

I believe Honda Insight still will give you peace of mind compare to Preve.

Tats the problem..insight maintenance are among the most expensive of all honda cars in msia, not sure why but I don't mind about small space at the back becos i will be the driver all of the time tongue.gif ...another issue is my father did not approve me to by any H cars bcos he said honda is cheating ppl with expensive price for their equipment and tools, he suggested me to buy preve or prius c but prius c is a small car..i cannot lawan with my father bcos his myFATHER maa..later on if got any prob with the car he don't want to help me anymore..also he is very knowledgable about car n engine..that it his profession since i before i was born huhu..

Thanks guys for ur feedback..however i did test drive insight, priuc c n preve..so far very enjoying when driving all but i hv to drop prius c bcos it a small car and i already own a myvi.. Insight is good and the exterior n interior is nice too, the SA give me 8k rebate but 4 me the down side is the service very high n must go every 5k to get the warranty, still hv to use normal car battery (not like prius c fully hybrid battery), 1.3 for big car is not so impress..preve nice n big car..got a lot of gadjet but not sure how reliable all thoose function n the quality some part of the car, sometime for me it seem very cheap..i have no issue with the proton engine..i already test drive preve 4 times, guess to get satisfaction bfore make a final decision smile.gif

My current habit is switch gear P before pulling handbrake, but sometimes when I start the car next day, I feel like a bit of stuck when trying to switch gear, need use more force to switch the gear. sad.gif

You should pull the handbrake 1st then switch gear to P... When to start driving switch gear to N 1st then release the handbrake.. You doing the wrong way, you should stop doing that because it may damages the brake or your gear. I know this from my father, he used to work with car makers in Msia and engine teacher in vokasional schools

if u wanna see that ESC indicator light, you need to corner hard until it kicks in, when ESC kicks in the light will appear

if u wanna see that ESC off light, hold the ESC button till it appears

ESC is on by default all the time

ESC indicator on the meter cluster will only flash or blink when you are on the verge of losing control and the ESC activates to save your skin.

ESC off indicator will show up if you press and hold on the ESC off button for a few seconds.

Only switch off the ESC if you are stuck in the mud or is driving on the track. Or your name is Ken Block.

Hehe tq bro for the info

ESC is auto on. unless u off it.
even though u off it, after drive over 150km/h, it will auto on.
after u off engine, start back. it will auto on as well.
