What's the best rate for the loan interest you guys can get? My SA said 2.6% for Muamalat

how many years and how much is the loan?

WAH SO LOW? i tot around 3% currently?

Check out the review from this guy. He test drove a lemon unit or he just don't know how to drive? haha

how much for dp?

btw, @dares, test drive already how?
and @izputra, thanks, very nice benchmark against the forte 2.0 AT 4spd

i put dp around 14k.. also around 3%.. i dun know how to see the muamalat bank de interest rate.. at miri best they ask me take cimb bank, very fast processing~~

CVT? He test drove the turbo unit... what is there to unleash.,... just step on the gas...

Just test drove earlier (If anyone saw a red Preve zipping through the Connaught highway at highspeed around 4-5pm, that's probably me )

I think izputra has covered most of what I thought, I just like to add my piece re the engine performance.

Compared to my FLX SE, the 1k-2k RPM (before the turbo kicks in) is really sluggish, as if the 1.6 NA is struggling to move the car. The CVT is probably to blame, but nonetheless it's there.

As said before, after 2k the turbo kicks in and that's where the car really starts to move. In D gear, the transition is smooth, almost unnoticable, BUT once you hit 2K and decides to release the pedal, the car jerks pretty hard due to engine braking, this could affect driving comfort in stop and go traffic. Also, the CVT seems reluctant to go to higher RPM, I would press the pedal hard and somehow the car decides to stay at 2k RPM, I was like WTFISTHISSHIT.

The real fun is when you use the paddle shifters. In this mode the cars feel utterly alive and so much more responsive than in D. Whereas in D the RPM rises very slow, with the paddle shifters you can simply downshift and off it goes. This part was by far the most satisfying part of the test drive.

I pity those who bought the IAFM+ variant, because they too will encounter the same sluggish response from 1k-2k RPM, except the 205Nm of torque will never come, ever. So if you are going for the IAFM+, please do yourself a favour and get the manual instead.

Also, unbelievably, the dashboard rattled halfway through my test drive

90% of my test drive, the car was in S mode, didn't really try out the D. Dissapointed in the paddle shifters. Spoiled by the feel of a DSG's pedal shifter i guess

normally around 2k rpm is how many km/h? means if when launching the car, better press more pedal to achieve 2k rpm? still yet to test drive zzz... showroom test drive unit not yet arrive.. if done booking but wan cancel they makan ur rm500? cos i will need to take plan b if it is really like tat.. if like on traffic jam, means ur car sure very uncomfortable to drive le.. u push to 2k, then traffic, u need to stop, then car jerk.. i think cvt owes got tis kind of problem.. honda city idsi also like tat one..

The CVT is kinda uncomfortable to drive in stop and go traffic, but so is a 6 speed DSG. It's only a matter of getting used to it, unless you wanna stick with a 4AT.

that guy is so used with BOT campro.. that is why he disappointed.

Is it because of the jerk or engine braking you mention earlier? I'm curious about this.

Jerk because of engine braking, at low speed. But unlike the FLX, when moving from standstill there is little to no jerk, ironically because of the sluggish response.

I wrote most of my impressions in my blog but in a nutshell:-

Likes:
- Auto folding side mirrors
- Push start button
- Rear fog lights
- ESP (even though didn't managed to test it)
- Superior NVH
- Good handling
- Excellent braking power
- Great rear legroom and headroom
- Multi Info Display

Dislikes:
- Sluggish engine below 2,000rpm
- CVT which hampers the full potential of 205Nm
- Heavy car
- Poor welding on the door/window frame (the pics I posted shows how inconsistent the welding is on all models)
- Visible lock tights everywhere (I checked the Exora Bold and it also has the same amount of lock tights but because the cable is more recessed in the bonnet, it's not as obvious as the Preve's which stares at you like a sore thumb)

All in all, I would buy it if I want the safety (no other car below RM75k offering 4 airbags, ESP) and cabin space. I won't buy it for the performance or handling (I still feel the Inspira is more fun)

Well in my experience my CVT jerks during traffic jam as well. When releasing the acceleration due to engine braking, and when moving from standstill because of enhanced after remap response.

Initially less lag because the response is like sheet here too.

Hence, unless you get a throttle controller to set for Traffic (aka, lower throttle response); or get an engine with a low torque low end, most CVTs will jerk in jams.

Insight doesn't have this jerk due to sheety low end as well.

Sit inside a Preve cfe not not give me the more luxury feeling and spacious feeling of a Rara premium... true story yo...

compare the difference in price. RRP difference is 20k.

You keep on saying that lol. I need to test myself but from pictures I can say the back seats are definitely more spacious in the Inspira - but we have sheetier boot space (unmodded with space saver spare tyre of course. Even modded I still think we'd lose). Give and take, fair trade I guess.

Will test the Preve as soon as Kuala Lipis/Raub gets a test unit.

awww... its pretty much sad to hear that its underpowered due to CVT
