Yesterday I went to check out Proton Preve (Premium Spec) in a proton show room.

I got a shock when I noticed Proton Preve has welding joint on the
door side. Please see picture for the location of the welding joint.

A good quality and solid car should not have any cut cost and less safety
welding joint on the door side.

The car in the picture is Proton Gen2 (in China) that does not have any
welding joint on the door side.

The Proton SA and I checked Proton Persona and Proton Saga BLm in the show
room, we did not see any welding joint on Persona and Saga BLM.

My Wira has welding joint on the door side which I do not blame because
I understand Wira is an old model of proton car

Do you think proton Preve is a global car??
I doubt it...

Typical Proton basher try to find point for bashing purpose. Easily came with conclusion.
What's next? No 10 airbag? Body not used the same material as kereta kebal?

At least Persona and Saga BLM are better than Preve in this area in terms of
safety and the solid level of the car body.

But bear in mind Persona and Saga BLM are not global cars; but Preve is a global car..

do you got any DATA that support u to said that got joint at door side, the safety level is lower than without joint one?

why din take picture ?

Show some pictures of the joints lah

I did not expect this welding point on Preve since I knew Persona
had good quality original solid door side that without any cut cost
and less safety welding joint...

Very disappointed on Preve as a global car like this...

You'd better go to proton show room to check it out yourself..

I will check on the reinforcement bars on Preve later, I forgot to bring
my torch light when i was there...

kah3...a word from a car genius...all i can say is boooooo

Yup, that's why he's the adviser of all global car companies in the world. {snigger snigger}

sorry overseas ... try go back and get some pics ... you have a camera phone right ?

you giving us see a non welding joint picture instead of your bashing welding joint picture ?
I cannot brain this.

Okay TS. I won't buy this car anymore. Even though Proton said this is the toughest body yet, I don't believe in Proton, I believe in you instead. A Proton basher from LYN.

lol what is this? You engineer meh?

now i only knew the safety level of the car can measure by EYE one.....
but how come manufacturer waste so many money to go through NCAP test leh....
because those judge can use eye to SEE those welding and value the car how many star already...

Are you working for Toyota (Vios division) or Honda (City division) ?
