hi,

juz bought over a 2009 latio sports .. notice a few things & like to hear from owners:

1) foldable side mirror, not all models have auto foldable side mirrors?
2) when i rev close to 80km/h.. i can hear the engine sound is abit louder.. anything wrong
3) do most owners here drive with O/D mode on?
4) does your car fog up easily? esp the left rear passenger seat window & driver seat window ..

HAGWE!

1) Only premium, basic model do not have this function.

2) Nothing wrong if it purely engine sound and not rattling sound

3) Yep. Generally speaking, overdrive OD is the highest gear in the transmission which is 4th gear for basic model. Overdrive allows the engine to operate at a lower RPM for a given road speed, if require power to overtake or uphill, you may opt to off it but drop in fuel economy.

4) Nope. You may wanna check is the air-con vent air flow direct to the window first.

for #3, OD on means that the light on your meter is off. When you depress the OD button, the lights comes on, you're down 1 speed on the 4 speed auto. I presume your ride is 4 auto because premium models is CVT, which has sports mode.

Basic interior is grey plastic while premium is wooden trim, the rest can be after markets fit on.

Both model have sport rims and FL model do not have alcatara seat anymore if not wrong.

Thanks ... in that case might need to get the foldable mirror before can fix the switch.
