QUOTE(imperialrealcs @ Apr 19 2009, 02:23 AM) since it is gated shifter, i dont think it is nescessary to have to press the brake to release from D as u wont be accidently pushed it to engage gear due to the gated scheme.. the ned for P to disengage by pressing brake normally was found in gear level in straight configuration.. correct me if im wrong nope.. gated is for the in gear engagement.. my previous pug 407 has it, my current swift and zoom zoom and JDM toyota also have the lock Added on April 19, 2009, 2:32 amQUOTE(kevin23 @ Apr 19 2009, 02:28 AM) I saw a convoy of Exora just now in Shah Alam near Hicom interchange with those plates starting with B XXXXX I tell you,they look better in pictures because in real life,they seriously look hideous,especially the side view.. side view looks bulky and out of proportion (makes the koreans look good next to it) .. luckily I tot the front view not too bad.... engine bay view with red engine cover looks good also..

Went to see this new baby yesterday I dont like the H-line leather at door panel  M-line's fabric is better. Plastic gila. Same with the steering. WTF, the steering feels very empty inside. Other than that, all nice. When i sit at the 3rd row with some uncles seating in front, i still can move around. DVD

QUOTE(ericmaxman @ Apr 18 2009, 06:41 PM) Well, this is just by seeing in the showroom. We need to have a transparent review on the car, in terms of performance, whether the 1.6 is really up to the task or not. Please do not forget that the Grand Livina also has a 1.6l engine option, but somehow people seem to disregard this. That's true, am still waiting for a test drive tho. Yesterday you need to book for test drive! But more or less I'll be getting the Exora for myself just need the test drive hehe. Too bad they don't have HID as option  . Or 16in rims

all i can say.. it's surely not the best, but it aint bad either ... good and cheap = I LIKE ...

From my personal experience with the CPS engine, an intake upgrade and light weight crank pulleys do wonders. Not recommend upgrading the exhaust though because the sound will be quite loud, although the pick up is better. And one more thing, don't be shy to rev the engine till rediline.
