just some observations...
* the "leather" seems to easily attract dirt. i've gotten foot prints, etc... :S
* the auto transmission on the CFE feel like it shift up gear too soon. can feel "vibration" at lower speed -- something similar to manual cars when you're on low speed and try to use like Gear 4 or Gear 5.
* side mirror: can't go all the way to the max. i was hoping to get it to go further but can't. so end up... half the mirror still showing the side of the Exora
* interior of the car... everything is 'higher'. seats are higher, etc... end up... when i want to reach out to the cup holder, etc... need to stretch a bit...
* those holders and coin boxes... somehow, not designed nicely. honestly, i dunno where to keep my smart tag. if i put in glove compartment... it somehow seems far in the exora. same with CDs and DVDs. where to keep?

* glove compartment. dunno why they implement the soft opening. so s-l-o-w to open. *sigh*
some Qs...
* for the model with the auto-fold side mirror, can we still manually fold the side mirror if we forgot to fold it after coming out?
* there's one 'triangle' glass near the dashboard on both sides. i hear vibration sound coming from here, especially during low speed. anyone else get this?
* the same triangle glass location... feels like such a waste of space. anyone got any idea what can be placed here (other than soft toys) -- like maybe some holder, etc so can put GPS, smartphone, etc?
- That's the benefit of having leather seats no? Easier to just wipe the dirt off rather than having cloth seats which when stained you can't do anything much.
- Agreed that the CVT transmission isn't refined
- Agreed that the side mirror isn't as adjustable as I want it to be
- Exora is quite a wide car, so I guess it is quite expected that it's gonna be a stretch to reach for things lol
- Smart tag I put it in the compartment below the steering column
- The glove compartment soft opening gives it a "premium" feel impression to my friends when they first saw it LOL
- Auto fold side mirrors can still be manually folded no problems
- Chances are that the vibration is coming from your dashboard, not the small window

that really lousy DVD player...
i tried burning a few home videos (mp4 format) into a DVD-R. inserted into the player... nothing. :S
anyone know how useful is this thing?
wish it was some android-based player so can mod it... this thing as it is... really useless.
I do agree that the DVD player is quite crappy, but then again you can't expect much from a car that's priced like this

The player only works with mpeg1 or mpeg2 format (dvd format). Avi is just a shell. You guys need to use video converter to convert other format to mpeg format. Use only avi or mpg shell extension.
I've tried many formats and almost give up until I read the manual that says only works with mpeg format.Oh... and another experiment that I've tried is using media player to connect with the player through aux/av in. It works depends on your media player power source...
Good luck trying ...
Same here. I tried a few formats but everything didn't work until I read the manual. I didn't bother trying anymore since I never use the player anyway
