Try the rear blower on all settings, at number 1 its acceptable. Moving to max, i thought the windows were not closed tightly at first. Conversations in car still ok. Just that the position of the blower is actually quite close to the front passengers head. How also sure bunyi. But was thinking, if i were to use it as a five seater, maybe not necessary to on the blower at all?

By the way, saw the grey color unit at ioi putrajaya today. The color seems to suit the car perfectly, despite missing out on the contrasting black elements. How to choose color laaa like this...  icon_question.gif

i just chance my color decision from silver to grey after i saw & test drive the grey sienta at puchong.

i also tested the aircon blower for passenger. as claimed, it pretty loud when u go for max, at 1 or 2 is accepatable level. but this is common for non luxury car where the blower noise is irritating when u go max.

i tested to drive at place that steep & found that the engine will go loud as u needed to push it over 4k rpm to gain max torque but its acceptable for me since we cant compare with turbo charge / high cc car. with 1.5 engine, i think its good for daily use & occassionaly mountain road drive. if for those work in genting, perhaps u might think other options if u plan to go v ease v the road conditions.

mmmm... its a practical small Family true mpv (really can fit 7 ppl unlike other small mpv that the rear row is uncomfortable for adult at rear) with goodies such as power sliding doors.

but i went for 3rd test drive with 6 adult averagely with weight 65kg, i felt the pinch.... maybe due to the small engine size v CVT .... just my personal problem.... overall its a perfect car below 100k. maybe is my problem.

Actually i looking for small size mpv & in fact most of the time only my wife , i & my son on the ride. very seldom go beyond 5 ppl.
now i looking at alza advance (which cost less rm30k) v about the same size (although the third row is less comfortable & no power door compare sienta) & same engine capacity . of cos toyota more reliable & higher quality. my own findings (to myself only), why spend extra rm30k just for a brand & powerdoors where the car also is more suitable for 5 seater ? sorry to all othera sienta lover if my comment offended you, as i said, thats my findings & conclusion that apply to my self.

i went test drive the alza & felt that the conventional auto gearbox deliver power more instance compared CVT (i knew CVT more comfortable & some said more reliable & powerful ). but i am user of 1st gen vios (1.5) & forte (2.0) where both also conventional autogear box, maybe due to this CVT gearbox behavior still temporary unacceptable for me. (again i repeat , this only apply to me, no offence)

i will still keep track on this thread as i not make final decision yet. currently alza/livina/mazda 5 (2nd) is on my list. ofcos exora is out of my list as i dont like the shape & i am bit of 'carcist'.
