DX W/ Convenience Package
| | Model of the car: | DX W/ Convenience Package | | | General comments: | Stylish, well designed, smart-sized minivan. Interior shines with it's customizable seat configurations. Well designed dashboard, ergonomically sounded, with all functions smartly laid out. Shift lever is almost 2 in. too long, and may impede some radio functions. Occasional bad sulfur smell coming from the vents when used. Although slightly under-powered, the 2.5 L 170 hp is adequate enough on the go. The engine requires high revs to maximize it's power. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | - Slightly under-powered for those who use the minivan to haul heavy loads.
- Sulfur smell is bad enough to think twice.
- Sliding doors don't have locking mechanism to ensure safety when the van is parked on upward or downward slopes.
- Although the engine is slightly under-powered, it is the transmission that should be blamed for it. Shifts too long on low gears and has tendency to downshift abruptly from 4th or 3rd gear downwards. |
