vios is the worst design ever, old design better than the new one.

I've got mine on 19th Feb 1.6 Sx Metal Bronze. My feedbacks so far.
Plus (besides the good looks & value)
1. Very nice NVH with aircond actually noisier than engine.. wife actually didn't realize engine's on idling for eg.
2. Fuel consumption quite good with Instant FC reading quite fun to train.
3. Virtual keyless. Smart key can be in jeans all the time. Push black button on door to unlock. Start engine and go. Lock when exit car.
Minus (may be my car - Please comment)
1. Air cond when "Auto" will automatically intake outside air. When pressed recirculate, it will deactivate. Sometimes it will auto with internal setting. Haven't figure this out yet. Else, OK.
2. Headrest as some observed not adjustable. Takes time to adjust to.
3. More body roll than I like. Sometimes will have roller coaster effect after going over bump and turning.. Wonder if others experience this. This shouldn't be due to alignment or balancing right?
4. Before realizing push button cycling of acc, on, start, off.. there were times I cannot lock the door with indicator keep saying key not in car until I manually lock with key. Only deactivate after start/stop the car. Then I realized, it's not in off. Took my some time before realizing this.
Others
1. No alarm. thought about autolock but damn heavy. Letting it be.
2. PPS vs Sierra Glow. Please comment for those done if you're happy or with you've done the other. While waiting unfortunately already waxed but dare not do any silicon sealant products after reading comments. But wonder if I don't do PPS/SG, would be better to just apply sealant now to lock in the new paint??
3. Tinting.. any good suggestions in Penang. Dealer suggest a tint shop next to JPJ Bkt Jambul using IR Film tint. heard about it??
That's all and hope to hear from others.
I don't use auto because it is too cold all the time, especially when I'm driving alone, 3 aircond facing to me directly.
One thing I don't like is, whenever I off the aircond, it will auto change to instake outside air, if I'm at other country with nice weather and air, I don't mind but in Malaysia auto change to intake outside air, it is suffering. Anyone know how to use only recirculate air?

Sounds good.. another option for me.

A question for folks who tinted..
1) Do you tint on top of stock tint or they will remove all first??
2) Any idea what is the spec for the Forte 1.6 Sx stock tint??
3) Also how to check the quality of workmanship. My stock tint no bubbles when dry bu when I wipe the tinted internal windows with water,
I will actually see where it isn't fully glued, like lines, round finger pressure, etc that ISN'T visible when dry.. Do you guys see this with your tint?
Does that mean in time, those spots will come undone with ugly lines/bubbles??
4) For those who tinted cars before, how long max before discoloration/bubbles/lines happen. Read most film warranty 5 yrs as thats when it happens. Don't want to retint every 5 years..$$
Appreciate any other tinting comments from those who's done it before.. All my ex cars are untinted so stock tint already good enough for me if not for heat!!!
If not for hot Msian weather, another option would be tint only when Forte stock tint goes!!

There is a stock tint? Mine doesn't comes with any tint...
