juz wanna ask. my fren got a new preve. keep puji. say naik genting win camry 2.4 ... smoke him kaw kaw.

then someone told me more comfort than bmw 320d.

ada betul ka?

the handling is quite good. smoke 2.4 camry? errr.. i dont think so.. 2.0 is possible and achievable since camry is heavier..

more comfort than 320d? hmm.. a bit exaggerated.. last time i tumpang my boss car, the soundproof is really unmatched.. and with a stock 17inc wheel, 320d is really comfy.. preve is using 16inch.. more damper for comfort..

preve is a good car.. unfortunately it comes with a batch of Proton which is well known for QC issue, and budget constraint in mind..

again, for malaysian market, for 73k, no other car could match the package that comes with it..

then why choose such low rated torque gearbox to mate to a turbo engine? sounds like asking for trouble in long run..

if i can remember correctly, the new unit of preve GB would cost around 17k. and punch powertrain already open their branch in malaysia, specifically in tanjung malim to sell a reconstructive unit for a cheaper price.. Proton and Punch Powertrain is having a long term partnership.. the first cvt gearbox by punch powertrain are being used in the saga flx.. its been 3 years, no major problem in a large scale.. it should be fine, i think... just pray hard lah hahahaha

not to say the current cvt is weak but you know la.. AT gearbox where got so tahan like 8-10year or 200-300k without shifting errors wan.. if keep the car long time, then have to keep back up plan also.. biggrin.gif

i do believe in a prompt maintenance... my uncle is using an old volvo. i was told the car is almost 20yo already. and the GB is one of those early adopters of cvt. and according to him, it was produced by the same manufacturer of preve gb, punch powertrain. the engine and gearbox is still intact.. no major overhauled, no major issues with the gearbox. just a few times leaking, and wear an tear problem. i dont know the exact model of the V. i dont think my uncle told me half truth...

for the owner's sake lets hope it can tahan until so long, since we already know this preve version cannot tahan high torque..  biggrin.gif

the ecu was tuned to suits the gb. summore there are cvt sensor in place.. unless u put piggyback.. use it as a stock should be fine.. errr... i think hahaha
