Recd my exora bold e/brown 4 July. Here is my initial review:
Surprised:
The engine is quieter and more refined than all the 3 units of exora bold i test drove back in Jan - Feb 12. The test units feel and sound rough and unrefined, just like my gen2 campro.
Interior/Exterior:
1.the quality of the stalk switches (light/wiper), aircond vents, up to Japanese standard. The rest , although not flimsy , has thin plastic material/cheap feel.
2.The front seats too small. My thighs (also almost turbo thighs myself) seem to be on the seat thigh support rather than within it.
3.One thing that I realise which was not mentioned before in this thread, the door metal is really thin. I was installing those aftermarket side moulding and used my knee to press to ensure good adhesion, lets say my knees went numb when I noticed how much the door sheet metal sunk in.
Confirmed with what was mentioned in this thread:
Con:
1. humming sound fr CVT when driving below 60km/h, I guess its a 'feature' we will have to live with
2. 'grrr' sound when going over bad potholes although not always.
3. lethargic pickup when driving in traffic jam/stop start ,coupled with the humm frm CVT. Its feels like as if one is
moving off fr 2nd gear, with 1st gear MIA.
Pro:
1. suspension is quiet and omfortable
2.Pick up from standstill, and low to medium very good, which makes all the weaknesses , quickly forgiveable. You will be hooked to your Exora on this alone.
the SA said the italic ones can be tweaked to give instant power. just have to ask them to do it when go for serviceSurprised:

I understood well they are not up to my expectation to answer my queries. But still the rattling sound is there if you hit a hole, not sure with others. Overall i'm satisfied but still did not use the SAT function yet 
SAT bukan Autocruise .... it is a button beside the gear level. Its function suppose to simulate the 6 Speed AT mode.
haha. sorry
. before dying the engine feel like no more petrol
