BTW, the flickering of the LEDs caused by camera refresh rate still does not make sense to me, unless the LEDs are running on AC, which LAGI does no make sense
I was there when the person took all the photos and videos, i can confirm those LED is NOT flickering.. Even i film the LED with my S2 also the same.

I was once loyal to my Queen, Lagoon of Blue. But the White Witch of Solidity stole away my heart...and my allegiance. I now fight a constant struggle, to truly see where my loyalty lies But then again, doesn't really make sense to have the LED flickering though. Like faulty product
I'm in the mood Come join the dark side! Trade in your car
Or wait for the hatchback version. I think it'll look nice in a hatchback. Problem is, I can't wait though. My A6 giving me enough headache as it is.
Trade my three months old car? I will be paying thru my nose bro

Then i can only conclude that the leds are in fact running on AC.
By the way, got sohigh claim got visible weld joints on the car door, qualit worse than wira wor... is that true?
Back from Jalan-jalan cari Preve... Saw 3 SA today.
1st SA. Quite ok. Old uncle punya style. Have one red car only with all the sticker. Black color coming later at night. But didnt manage to do much coz of the way he park the car block the drive side door. 2nd SA. Quite ok. Younger generation SA style. Have one red n one white. Able to see very detail at this SA place. They have alot of booking d. So if i want have to wait next shipment. 3rd SA. Quite ok. Old uncle punya style also. No car at all.. but manage to give me best trade in price and can get quite quick....

I drove a waja. So many of the comparison is base on that car. So here is my review abit:
Exterior: Nice exterior. Saw 2 color, red n white. Red is similar to Inspira red. White is way better. Boot space is narrower than my waja, but deeper in, so its kindda look smaller. Car door kindda solid from outside. But from the inside the rear door close sound is not really that good. The door is also abit hard to close. Maybe just need to adjust how much force is needed. Abit not fair la coz i comparing to the force needed to close a door of a Camry. Maybe a bit more sound proofing at the door will help...
Interior: Plastic.. everywhere.. to be expected of newer gen car tho i guess. In comparison a waja door has soft touch plastic n cloth. You feel good putting your arm on the cloth when waiting in traffic jam. No luck to do so in preve. The dashboard design is nice. Plastic on it was so so. The top dash plastic looks nice tho. Steering abit small compare to my waja. Meter cluster is nice. HU looks like an after thought coz the color doesnt match the rest of the dash. Also i so damn hope they have option to change the HU language to english. Its all in BM right now. The aircon at full blast is not as strong as those in BLM but still ok i guess. Thank god they brought back the normal aircon vents looks. I always hated those bulat2 one... Font on steering wheel looks cacat. But should be easy enough to ignore. The steering height adjust is kindda awkward. Its placed on the left side and looks horrible and al cheepo. The waja one is much better and is at the bottom of the steering hidden from other ppl view. To deactivate the passenger airbag you need to use the key and poke inside the glove compartment. The one on the dash is just an indicator. Speaker is ok ok only compare to waja. Might need a pair of tweeter maybe. Seats feels ok, no complain. Head room ok, no complain. Rear speaker deck is moreeee plastic. And last but not least i find it weird that all 3 of the car i saw has problem opening the rear door from inside. Since the car is new non of the SA know why this is. Child lock already disable. Maybe there is some other central locking control somewhere....
Engine: The starter motor i think is a high speed version. Sounds good. Still can hear when rev while idle. Maybe on road will be diff. The rev sound feels no diff then an NA car. No turbo heard. Not sure its normal or not. Maybe will be diff on road as well. The engine intake seems abit restrictive but im not an engineer, so what do i know. I trace the piping and saw after the turbo, the intake piping goes to the intercooler that sits right at the bottom left of the engine bay. Its just a tiny one. Not sure how much effect it will have in cooling the incoming charge. The piping itself after the turbo is wrap in some kind of rubber'ish insulator. After the intercooler it goes back up to the engine bay and enter from the rear of the engine. Cant see the exhaust side of the turbo. All shielded. The air going to the intercooler is from an opening on the left bumper. But what worries me is that the exit passage is just a few slit of hole at the "banana leaf" exiting out to the left wheel. I sure hope the thing dont fell off and roll over in the tire well. I've heard scarry story when this happened in waja. The radiator design has only one huge fan for the whole radiator. If this fan kong, you better pray hard coz you going to get stuck by the road. I would prefer if there is 2 small fan instead of one. From the engine bay i could see there is a front arb and a front strut. The exhaust diameter is large.. maybe 2" i think. Exhaust tip ends on the left side pointing downwards but hidden from outside. The finishing of the exhaust looks like an after market one rather then factory fit. As a result the bottom of the car is not really flat. At one point you can see the exhaust sticking out a little bit lower than the rest. I not sure what is it avoiding.
Overall acceptable.

this can be said to all the cars...even now if all the hype is around preve..in 2 years later when u can see them everywhere on the road..u will feel the same thing
not owes true, an old mercs or bmw still looks good even new model coming out, a 5-10years old conti car still looks ok for me.
question - what is the warranty like for preve? i mean on the engine itself. Inclusive of the turbo as well if it is spoiled? - sry if it is a noob question..
those who say lokatoo is bad, i dont think it is..the map is updated on monthly basis..even the new road like latar highway, rural2 area also got..of cos not every place is there, but we can always hope it to be included in the next month..i remember, i searched a place, nothing found, but in the next update, it is in the map already..and since perodua and proton is using the same lokatoo, we can see high potential in this navigation brand..

i think warranty means everything that is caused by manufacturing defects. Like not u go open it or mod it then spoil, and warranty doesnt cover wear and tear part, i think la.. or it cover, but u need pay labor fee, depends on the contract lo..
