just got my car last week, but I've been reading the thread since V1!!
Thumbs up guys!!
I love my new car..But I'm facing some problems... Mostly noise problems..
1.Cornering or simply driving on uneven road, metal knocking sound. I understand that it's the steering assembly/orifice valve thingy.
2.Dashboard rattling noises when accelerating. Really irritating, sounds like some loose screws but I'm not so sure about it.
3.Buzzing sound from driver side aircond vent, from what I read it seems like it can be solved by reprogramming the ECU?
4.Door panel sound from front passenger seat. It sounds like 2 pieces of leather rubbing against each other when I'm driving, but if I wind down the window just a little bit, like a few mm, the sound is gone. Anyone encountered this before? Seems like the rubber is pressing too hard on the window glass when the window is fully up.
5.Door panel sound from rear right passenger seat. I have no clue where it came from. Everytime I go over bumps, there's a noise, as if there's something IN the door panel that's loose. Sounds like 'tak' 'tak'. And, the sound is quite persistent and it happens 9 out of 10 bumps I drive over, no matter how slow I drive. I'm quite sure that the sound came from the door panel because I can hear it very near me, like right behind me. So far this is the most annoying and irritating sound in the car.
Anyone facing no. 2, 3,4 & 5? Going to CoSE tomorrow, maybe to let them find out what's wrong & where do the noises come from. Then maybe order parts & make another appointment. Hmm..
Also, I'm planning to change my stock rims to 17' rims. The guy at the tyre shop suggested that I should use 215/45/17, but I'm not quite sure about that.. Will 215 be a little too wide & hit the fenders while cornering or overloading? E.G; 4-5 persons in the car.
Pls advice, sifu sifu personarians out there...

I seriously hope I didn't get a lemon... So far no prob with engine & all that, only noises... Loud, irritating noises..
Ok Prob 1 is solved.. Prob 2 can solve it by buying a bag of washers from ace hardware then unscrew a few screws in the dash and use it as dampeners between the screw and screw it back tightly but not toooo tight.. prob 3 shd be solved with the new firmware.. My car was manufactured somewhere after the mid of october and it ady had the new firmware loaded in.. Urs shd be using the latest firmware, but its no harm doing a check.. 4,5 not too sure..
As for rims i dont think it will be much of a prob using 215/45R17.. I would discourage using 40series as its rather too thin and very harsh on the ride.. Furthermore a slight hit on bigger potholes may cause rim damage. I saw a fellas car using 215/45R17 and it looks nice and it nvr hits the fender too although he takes precaution when going over humps and bumpy roads lah..
This is the Envy Persona at CoSE.
I did saw another persona in CoSE using 205/45R17 tires.. The tire wall can see its inclining inwards.. As though not offering protection for the rim.. IMO i prefer the tire wall to be straight flush against the rim lah.. Looks beefier.. But there are ppl that love to have the rims jutting out VIP style..
