are the exora 16" sports rim lighter (in weight) than the steel rims or just purely for aesthetics only?

i was at accessory shop to get coil mat for exora. the guy noticed my exora is new and recommended me to buy air filter for the aircon, he even showed me an empty filter tray which he took from behind the storage drawer. so it is neccessary to get this? why did proton have this tray but no filter given?

oh i see, i didnt really notice that it was net type filter, cos he took it out and it looked like a empty box plastic tray. yeah, he told me to get the paper type. but he was charging me RM80 for it. luckily didnt take cos i saw online around 25-30/piece.

yeah, my executive version mc2 doesnt have coil mat as standard, only the fabric mat type, proton sales persons also didnt give.

thanks for the tip, maybe i'll just leave it as it is.
but have to learn to remove the net filter and clean it once in a while.

hmmm, i'll drop by daiso to see anything useful then.

what i found at daiso instead:

it does, it's a pretty flexible setup.
there are 2 suckers, so u stick them in the corner of the window.
through the hole in the suckers, u thread the string which serves like a curtain rail for the nylon cloth.

i find it better than the 'electrostatic stick on glass' sun shield cos i have no problem winding the window up/down with this type.

haha, i guessed i changed the topic too fast.
i havent found the filter material yet, i'll take a picture of the actual thing if i do.

I'm interested to do this as well.
But any pros/cons? Why doesnt this come as default on our cars, need to DIY?

thanks @alexei for the info

any testimony from exora users regarding this 'mod' on exora cars?

leolancer what kind of rattling sound? when i drive very slowly sometimes got 'chok chok' sound, i think is the gearbox clutch slipping? your service center is beside the Store shopping mall?

i dont think u can get any other after market armrest cos those are for exora without armrest in the first place.

which branch you serviced your car?

looks like this problem is rather widespread, i hope all the SC (main proton branch, or wakil servis) knows abt this problem and can fix it, hate to go the the nearest SC to find them unaware of it.

how much were you charged for the first service @ 1000k?
i'm closer to the 'wakil servis' in Pandan Jaya (near Maybank) but depending on level of service, level of satisfaction, waiting time, price, etc i might consider going to Pandan Indah.

Thanks.

anyone planning to change away their stock 16" alloy rims? i'm interested in getting them. :-)

yeah, it happens when the back of the car is heavy (loaded with passengers), i'm planning to highlight it during my first service.
no waranty for it?

must be some strong stuff your engine oil, engine drained already still no major problems

this one?

if cut from big piece wont have the pad in the middle for the driver.

what is your criteria for a good car?

like mentioned by alexei, best price in the range (of 7 seaters).
if you need more space or have more passengers, this wins over the alza, the other popular local cheap '5+2 MPV'.

fuel consumption, i'm still figuring it out, but it differs greatly between city drive, highway drive or combination.
