Sir, I got 1-3 issues when I got my brand new 3.2 Strada. At first akala ko sira ang makina, it's just the nature of diesel engines. I find the engine too noisy too.

After my first 1000km oil change, all these symptoms went away. Kailangan lang proper break in period like all diesel engines.

Note, it is not the downshif (which is normal). but i do understand that the auto transmission will downshift if you push the accelator pedal down. I recommmned you to use the sportronic manual shift for GLS SE.
3. The engine is too noisy at 1500 rpm.
4. Do not put the standard rear spoiler. It will only create an acumulation of dirt on the rear mirror/window
