That heat? You need high quality charcoal tint before anything if I was you. I'd also go with weather tech floor mats, they're cheaper IIRC and of higher quality than the OEM Mitsu all weather mats.
I put 25% 3M tint on all windows except the front windshield. I did this to both my wife's and my Mirage. We got two. It makes a big difference helping the HVAC system IMO.

Solid advice, i'll check with them if they can set me up once the car arrives.
Lol. It's not in my country either, but it's hardly enforced in hot weather states, like my own Georgia. 32% is the legal limit here officially, but it should be lower. 25% isn't limo tint. An approaching police officer could still see thru my windows, no visibility risk at all.

SHE's HEEEREE!
She's a beauty, I didn't get drive it around too much, as soon as I got her out of the dealership it started pouring rain hardcore so traffic all the way home was slow, tomorrow ill be able to check her out better and see all her quirks in her glory.
But here's my limited experience:
Steering is going to take a bit of getting used to, I'm used to driving a SEAT Leon with very nice steering control, the wheel goes back to center on its own, but in the space star you have to be active with the wheel on every turn.
Everything is louder inside the car, the poor sound isolation wasn't a joke, you can hear the rain pretty loudly compared to any other car I drove, but nothing some music won't help deal with.
My ass and legs feel the road way more now, which isn't a good or bad thing imo, suspension seems softer than I expected tbh so a good surprise there.
the LED headlights are awesome, every car I drove until now had regular ****ty lights, these LED's seem waaay better than anything I experienced so far.
the engine DOES sound kinda like a lawnmower, which I actually like, it's pretty fun to step on the gas and hearing the engine squealing from any attempt at acceleration.
using Ds mode yields surprising results, car seems much more peppy and active with Ds, I was expecting it to just sound louder and not actually do anything, but it does seem to go at with Ds.
Surprisngly good climber, I had 1 ramp on the way home that connects to a bridge and she easily went up, I was expecting to lose a lot more speed going up but she took it fine.
That's about it for now, maybe tomorrow ill give some more thoughts.
I really like her
EDIT'
forgot to mention
I really dig the android auto, the screen is pretty big, everything works super nice and snappy, I'm used to slow af screens that don't have any features except Waze, radio and music, the screen I got is way better than I expected.
I think it's different from other countries, ill post pics tomorrow.
