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.

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 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.

Booked one for myself:

Added on April 15, 2012, 10:37 amforget to share another things that i found in preve,tats the rear window can fully wind down,not like persona onli can wind down 3/4 lo..

i wanna go proton showroom today but dunno they got open or not, and dont even know the SA let me see the new car or not >< everyone getting solid white, seems like solid white is a better color >< i feels like solid white looks prettier if install add on parts compared to black.. cos got contrast, black install white color part seems weird..

yep.. i remember. so how? decide d or not?

me ar??still consider lo..my wife a bit doubt about the quality interior.so need test drive 1st juz can decide..ya,u get the preve from the sa ystd?

sell off your flx lah...

dares：

go and test drive the forte SX... see if she likes that better...

unfortunately i decide to get from another SA that can offer better price on my trade in..

now i just wondering how is the HU performance.. seems very little info i can find about it. I did found that its the same HU used in Suzuki SX4...





too bad its not in english...

I hope to god I can change the language setting on the console

Also, I saw a red one at the jln ampang showroom as I was driving by (almost rear-ended the car infront of me. Suddeny braked. Hard. Idiotic City driver). It was uncovered too.

can't be change to english? should be able right, perhaps any SA can verify on this?

the language can be change in the setting.

damn something had stolen my preve, my bold stole it, i shd hv preve earlier

oledi test drive the forte sx.but rear legroom not big as preve.but the seat comfort oso..nw need the test drive to c whether the engine noise is noisy or not..
