the Preve car alone with standard equipment weighs 1.3 tonnes, not 1.7 tonnes         

It is a larger car than the Waja, in fact, it is one of the largest in it's segment. And all those features (ABS, ESC, Turbo, Etc. etc.)? they all add weight to the car.

Plus Waja is about 100kg lighter only and runs on a 1.6. The Preve's turbo, once engaged, is claimed to be equivalent to a 2.0 engine.

That's why people keep saying, get the CFE, forget about the IAFM variant.

Under 2k RPM (Before the turbo boost), it still runs as a normal 1.6 engine. 2k RPM with the CVT, according to mat79, can go up to 93 km/h. So for city driving, most of the time you won't be boosting, except for overtaking, slope climbing and the occasional spirited driving.

In my experience with my Saga CVT, I can drive the car under 2k and reach 85-90 km/h, even during mild acceleration I can still keep it under 2k, so it is perfectly driveable in urban settings.

Of course once you reach highway speed, you will be boosting all the way, but running on turbo doesn't mean it is not fuel efficient.

A engine spining at 2,000 ROUNDs PER MINUTE to achieve 205Nm Torque

OR

MIVEc 2.0P engine spinning 4,250 ROUNDs PER MINUTE to achieve MAX 197Nm Torque
which engine need more fuel? Which engine will fly faster INITIALLY?

Well that's your choice, not everyone buy this car to go vroom vroom. You think every person who bought a Civic 2.0 wants to go chase down every car on the road? some just want a comfortable, stable ride.

This car gives you the option of either driving it like a 1.6 or driving it like a 2.0 (At least in urban roads). It's up to you whether you wanna drive it economically or tekan all the way.

And you are comparing the Preve with the Viva, Waddd??

And if you must know, my latest fuel up is 17sens/km.

Why peopel keep insist using RM to calculate FC... use liters lah...

How peopel know you using what Ron95 or 97?

U use liters peopel 10 yrs later come check thread also can use the info no matter what is the current petrol price in the world.

This is when the guy overtake you on the left and slam his brakes. I actually stop my car until stationary at jalan duta before because some roadhogger did this to me 

Well.. those are the younger days...

When u go to aircond shop for full aircond servicing..ask them to seal off permanently the fresh air intake hole. This will prevent the outside air from penetrating into the cabin.

I've complaint about this before when i did the full aircond servicing on my previous Waja & the aircond 'taiko' at that shop suggest that they can seal the fresh air intake hole if i want it. The result is great..no more outside smell..no more outside smoke. But the downside are..u might easily feel sleepy during long driving (especially when full with passengers) due to lack of oxygen  (but u can wind down your window from time to time to get fresh air) & no more fresh air circulation mode (though u select the fresh air circulation mode)..up to u to decide..but i personally done that before
