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?? sweat.gif
I doubt it... hmm.gif

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..

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...

lol, the doors are not meant to absorb any impact, it's meant to distribute the force of impact to the surrounding chassis so that the chassis can absorb the impact. i don't think u've ever heard of crumple zones also.

Please double click to enlarge the Gen2 picture on my first page to
understand the location of the door welding point on Preve.

My point is very simple:
If you have a choice, do you prefer to have a welding joint or no welding
joint on a "drive it to believe it" global car..?

You'd better go to Proton Show room to see it yourself.

My wira welding joint's workman ship is even better than Preve,

At least my wira's welding joint is welded completely and no
hole; but for Preve, the welding joint is not welded completely
and you can see the hole...very scary quality...

This means my wira is welded 100% and cover the hole (joint) completely;
for Preve, it is only welded 50%, so you can see the hole...

You wanna talk facts? Sure.

Firstly, in a side impact that is strong enough to break your door, it is the chassis that is suppose to protect the passengers, not the door.

Secondly, the doors reinforcements are inside the door. Lets say you are right and the window sills are welded to the door instead of being the same piece. And a motorcycle rams into your door, the thing that will protect you is the frame inside the door, not the window sill. If you think about it, the places where the door are connected to the chassis is below the windows sills (on the body of the door), because the window sill cannot be load-bearing,and is in fact the weakest part of the door.

Number three, you havent show us the weld.

Pls try harder next time.

This is not what you so called "bashing".

I just pointed it out that nobody will notice this welding joint issue.
And this is the fact happens on Preve as so called "global car".

Please go to Proton show room to check it out yourself.

are u sure it is a welding or whatever it is.
some panels has been 'welded' together using synthetic glue which is meant to join the panels together.

i believe preve will have a high edge in cost cutting, whihc is normal. but the welding alone wont cost too much. just for the joint itself i might be because of other circumstances it has to be done in this method.

u need to check other makes to prove the point.

Boss, you'd better go to Proton show room and check it with your own eyes.
The Preve's cut cost welding joints and holes are very obvious there.

At the same time, check also Persona and Saga BLM that do not have
welding joints on doors, then you will know the difference..

WTF? I am certain the Preve will be safer than most Japanese ASEAN spec cars (the Avanza does as bad as the Gen2/Persona). Who cares about the welding joints in the door. To me that's just cosmetic, thus irrelevant. Will the car do well in crash tests? That's what counts. How are the materials they have used? You can't see that.

Of course if you can explain to me WHY visible welding joints are of any importance then I may change my mind. The welding can be of good quality (and how else are you going to connect the parts? You wouldn't want to use the same steel for the whole door, because you'd either use low quality materials which won't withstand anything or you'd use high quality steel, which probably has other problems, such as costs or weight. It seems like they have added a side impact bar to protect the passengers).

Seriously, chill and wait for ANCAP results. Then we shall see if what Proton promises is true. smile.gif

Very simple mah...

If this welding joint is acceptable for you, then this Preve is ok for you loh...

But I am a bit worried small cockroach can go in to build their house there..

if you strip down the car and look at how many parts of your chassis are welded together, you will probably never want to sit in a car ever again.

And you based that on what? A welding seam?

Have you personally measure the chassis stiffness of both cars? Did you exert 10'000Nm of force on they B-pillars and saw which one buckled first?

Just for your info, the Waja had the stiffest chassis in proton's line of products, more than a volvo S40. The preve chassis is specced to be even stiffer than the waja.

Don't just blame Proton. 4 airbag for RM72k car price in Malaysia is too good already.
Why you not blame people that still support empty car like Vios J.
Many international car manufacturer not bother to put much safety features on their car because many Malaysian think it was not necessary. They rather take high profit margin rather than reduce their profit by putting unnecessary stuff like airbag.

Which hole? there are holes to flow out excess rainwater and debris from the window. Btw, if i'm not mistaken, the panels are pressed. That's why they're welded together.

So.... In order to be acceptable, all car bodies should be cast iron. No welding joints, no bolted parts whatsoever, no hinges, no bends etc.. Because having any of those will just make the entire structural integrity shit. Amirite?

@DiamondBar: Toyota is a much bigger offender. And so is Honda etc.

In a making off video for the new BMW F30 I think I could see very clearly visible welding points. They were later hidden, but they are still there.

Btw., the first ASEAN NCAP crash test is set to happen on the 24th of May. I wouldn't be too surprised if it is the Preve that is going to be tested. Hopefully they'll quickly test all cars on the market, although I don't think Toyota will be very happy about that.

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??    sweat.gif
I doubt it...   hmm.gif

lol...those are safety features la..even the mitsubishi lancer has it. it is the part where 2 different metal strength are used.

halo brader. it's just different in manufacturing process.

there's two ways to make the doors.
either stamp the whole door outer/inner shape in one piece (BLM, Persona, Exora)..or
only the bottom lower part + door sash, which require welding during assembly (Waja, Preve)
go learn about manufacturing first la before trolling preve buyers with this ridiculous issue.

both of this assembly process doesn't affect safety. because the main point on safety is the impact bar inside the door panels. All this already done simulation la bro and also crash tested in Spain.

btw, the one cck125 highlight in the Inspira is called TWB panels.
Tailor Welded Blanking. Proton started using that method since BLM for the front and rear door panels. Also in Exora & Preve. This method is used worldwide to reduce process cost because less welding process required at assembly line. The panel already came welded by the steel supplier before stamping. Widely used in Honda, Toyota and also european car makers.

I don't think anyone can judge structural integrity by welding without taking in the whole sum of things. For example the Evolution, Mitsubishi's top end has its roof joined by just plastic screws, stamps and holders, not even welds, because it is near impossible to weld aluminium to the main steel pillars. Doesn't make it an unsafe car.

Welds also can be stronger than stamping depending on the way they're welded. If you go for an interior + long fillet, the joint can take even more energy than a normally cast or stamped joint. It all depends on the design.

TL;DR : TS is a moron.

TS gone already after he found out his IQ is negative smile.gif there is no wrong doing welding in engineering POV.. casting is not owes the best option.. duh.. if welding joint integrity is good enuf, it is same as 1 piece. As owes, u don rely on the sheet of metal to take care of impact, it is more on the impact bar in the door..

I get what TS is trying to say, he mean that the Preve welding joint do not welded properly until you can see tiny hole , which in welding field, when sending for x-ray check, those welding must be rejected, Proton can accept this kind of welding and call it as a global car. I think to be fair, we should go to Proton showroom to look at it ourself, rather than keep bashing TS when he is only trying to tell us something isn't right for the new model Proton, we can see the Inspira photo, those welding is the right one, won't have so call tiny hole. Any car, no matter it is from BMW, Mercedes..., there must some parts of welding joint for the car doors, just how they going to weld the joint, this is the matter most.

nope.. he was directly comparing Preve door with BLM & Persona. Meaning he was comparing the different door assembly type.
Saga + Persona got no welding line because its a 1 piece door panel. Meanwhile Preve & also the WAJA uses Door Lower + Door Sash assembly type.

If this welding joint is acceptable for you, then this Preve is ok for you loh...

But I am a bit worried small cockroach can go in to build their house there..

Please go to check Persona or new Saga first, then you will know the difference...
you will know which one you prefer..

I get what TS is trying to say, he mean that the Preve welding joint do not welded properly until you can see tiny hole , which in welding field, when sending for x-ray check, those welding must be rejected, Proton can accept this kind of welding and call it as a global car. I think to be fair, we should go to Proton showroom to look at it ourself, rather than keep bashing TS when he is only trying to tell us something isn't right for the new model Proton, we can see the Inspira photo, those welding is the right one, won't have so call tiny hole. Any car, no matter it is from BMW, Mercedes..., there must some parts of welding joint for the car doors, just how they going to weld the joint, this is the matter most.
*
Nah in his 1st post TS specifically mentioned that a global standard car door SHOULD NOT have any welds or cut cost assembly (aparently theres a global standard manual he has read) & compared preve door to BLM door. Only later in page 3 did he make any comment on the quality of the weld, which would be a cause for concern (as he mention, vermin might be able to get it if there a gaps in the welding)

To me, I dont care if its held together with ropes & duct tape, safety performance rating is all i will consider

Don't just blame Proton. 4 airbag for RM72k car price in Malaysia is too good already.
Why you not blame people that still support empty car like Vios J.
Many international car manufacturer not bother to put much safety features on their car because many Malaysian think it was not necessary. They rather take high profit margin rather than reduce their profit by putting unnecessary stuff like airbag.
*
support statement totally, our country, got to buy car based on Price. it is price sensitive. not size or spec sensitive, due to affordability issue, i op for preve, against forte as i could pay less, less loan, more money for property.

low profile high income. rclxms.gif

of course again, safety issue, i leave it for u guys to argue. but then again, i also hope what DSZ had designed is many miles better than my 12 years of proton, as i vow before never to get a proton, but because of DSZ, i give it a try and consideration.

otherwise, safety u wanna talk, get a s40, used, it has better chasis structure than any car at the moment,

or else a saab 95 will also do, unfortunately saab is history.


Added on April 15, 2012, 10:11 ammaybe proton should drop the Preve upsidedown just like saab test in topgear.

i think car how safety also no use if the driver is reckless, going for defensive driving course is better than getting a good car to use. u can see how many ppl walk away from an accident harmless, yes. that is 1 of the 100 accidents and u didnt know that 99 is causing serious injury and death? Dont rely too much on media, learn to get the fact right.

Re the 4 airbags in Marehsia & 6 airbags offered in Australia...

The Fiesta non-XTR variant with 2 airbags and XTR variant with 7 airbags (plus accesories & bodykits) selling at only RM 6k higher, you see which variant is more popular on bolehland roads? The 2-airbag variant.

Then Proton comes along with a car that has 4 airbags for us, then we get all incensed and indignant because they offered 6 airbag to the Ozzies.

C'mon lah, we're in a market where people will gladly pay RM75k for a single airbag dugong, how many ppl will pay more for a 6 airbag Preve?

Stop being such a hypocrite.

You are right, until now you still can see a lot of driver still using hand phone while driving and never buckle up, but keep shouting only 2 airbags lar.... Didn't they know that driving habit is the only "feature" that can save us, not the airbag.

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??    sweat.gif
I doubt it...  hmm.gif

Seriously? Just one spot of welding area to conclude the whole reinforcement of the side impact? Wat a waste.. Btw, i already tear down the whole preve last couple months back.. We use air chisel to open up spot weld at the hamming area of the door which is 3tonne per inche square in term of welding strength.. Pls get ur fact right.. Or at least give us some technical information before u come out wit a conclusion

I think i heard somewhere before that a welded joint is as good if not stronger than a single sheet of steel in terms of strength. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Not trying to bash or anything,just seeing this thread as a constructive discussion where we can all learn.Cheers!

The Moderator will know about this..

I am not discouraging people not to buy Preve.
but just that I went to see Preve with a high expectation
yesterday, and end up with a huge disappointment.

I just put my purchase for Preve on hold first..
Let's wait and see how is the quality and performance in
few months later..

Owh.. Btw, to inform u guys.. The car that will actually u guys get is different form the test drive car, fyi test drive car is not yet 100% finish car even the body accuracy is still in 90% region only, still have here and there component pending from vendor to supply the improvement part ib which u will 100% get with ur brand new car.. Retrofitting component still on going in proton motorpool.. Just to share some of the info that i know.. Owh one more thing there is no mass produce car made without cost down activity, cost down activity sometimes is not down grade the ok part but downgrade the over spec part..

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??    sweat.gif
I doubt it...  hmm.gif

i will doubt proton quality if they just solder at the door, if welding that's common for all car manufacturer...

cooldown ts. Yup,since u mentioned solid door corolla seg 1994, so, with side impact crash test, which side is better u think? Maybe u shud google how much stars yhe corolla seg 1994 manage to get n how it scores in side impact crash. If the side of corolla is better than preve, than u win hands down, ur theory is correct. Speaking about theory, of course, some using diff metals and thickness, coz only need reinforced important parts or the weight will be too heavy.

Any other cars also they have it, but it not that appaprent coz they polish it. For cosmetic, yes, it gives some impact, crash worthiness, no, polish vs non polish, merely the same, only polish cost higher. But since its inside, like somebody said, just need to cut cost for overspend which not really part of crashworthiness, performance n etc.

I think ts shud wait for ancap when prtn start selling preve in au. Then u can start buy, but i think if u rip off the whole car, or any car in the world, unless use aluminium bonded such lotus or audi, u will be scared coz weld spot is all over the car :-).

Ohmaigod? Mai car door also welded! Then hor, Mitsu sell this car as a global car how hor?

5 star in EUROCAP? How did mai car get this with a welded seam door? Wai, all conspiracy maa. Mitsu came out with a cost cutting car in 2008 and managed to sell it for 4 effing years w/o anybody noticing DAT DOOR WELD and even used IT TO CREATE THE EVO X.

Mitsu even sold it to Potong, who continued making (ehm, rebadging) this cost cutting car, including mine.

Oh Mai, MITSU IS EVIL.

Seriously people, have you even studied car manufacturing and Metalworking AT ALL, or even anything remotely related?

halo brader. it's just different in manufacturing process.

there's two ways to make the doors.
either stamp the whole door outer/inner shape in one piece (BLM, Persona, Exora)..or
only the bottom lower part + door sash, which require welding during assembly (Waja, Preve)
go learn about manufacturing first la before trolling preve buyers with this ridiculous issue.

both of this assembly process doesn't affect safety. because the main point on safety is the impact bar inside the door panels. All this already done simulation la bro and also crash tested in Spain.

btw, the one cck125 highlight in the Inspira is called TWB panels.
Tailor Welded Blanking. Proton started using that method since BLM for the front and rear door panels. Also in Exora & Preve. This method is used worldwide to reduce process cost because less welding process required at assembly line. The panel already came welded by the steel supplier before stamping. Widely used in Honda, Toyota and also european car makers.

I get what TS is trying to say, he mean that the Preve welding joint do not welded properly until you can see tiny hole , which in welding field, when sending for x-ray check, those welding must be rejected, Proton can accept this kind of welding and call it as a global car. I think to be fair, we should go to Proton showroom to look at it ourself, rather than keep bashing TS when he is only trying to tell us something isn't right for the new model Proton, we can see the Inspira photo, those welding is the right one, won't have so call tiny hole. Any car, no matter it is from BMW, Mercedes..., there must some parts of welding joint for the car doors, just how they going to weld the joint, this is the matter most.

For cosmetic, yes, it gives some impact, crash worthiness, no, polish vs non polish, merely the same, only polish cost higher. But since its inside, like somebody said, just need to cut cost for overspend which not really part of crashworthiness, performance n etc.

I think ts shud wait for ancap when prtn start selling preve in au. Then u can start buy, but i think if u rip off the whole car, or any car in the world, unless use aluminium bonded such lotus or audi, u will be scared coz weld spot is all over the car :-).

I'll try to be fair here.

1. TS: The onus is on you to provide picture. You cannot just say "go see for yourself" because you decided to make a thread called "Proton Preve is not a global car but cut cost car". People have the right to hentam you kaw kaw cause you say something without proof to back your words. Also, you are seeing something that technically is not released yet, so not everyone can see. If you started a topic with showing a picture, asking people is this quality defect, with arrow than surely you will not be hentam kaw kaw.

2. Where is sleepwalker/moderator? This thread should be relegated to Kopi Tiam and not F&F or closed altogether. People who viewed (and agree with TS) cannot show proof also baffles me. I think better close thread. Next time you have a picture, then start new thread bring back your case. What this thread has manage to create is a space for proton bashers to take one side and pro proton to have other side. I'm surprised it has gone 10 pages without any picture to the original discussion. Its more of a flame thread now. No point adding the image in the 11th page since it no longer is discussing the main point.

I'll be frank here, TS you have poor net etiquette for essentially starting what essentially is a flame thread. You want people to take you seriously, but the way you do it (language) is aggressive without taking into account of your words. If you want to bring a breathtaking point (door assembly) do it in a respectable way which not only validates your point but also increases your LYN forum "respectability aura". You now manage to do both opposite items. You have to remember that whatever bad points you bring up after this will not be treated seriously by other LYN members (with long term memory).

Due to these, all kinds of trolls come out without adding any constructive points to the original discussion.

I just informed you what I have observed from Preve about this
defective area.

If you can accept it, then it will be fine with you.

People from 3rd world countries are usually satisfied with low quality and inferior products. Just like today, Malaysian are still buying car without air bags, and without abs.

Malaysian life are less valuable.

Just want YOU to explain why is it less safe to have weld joint. That's all. We just want to hear from your side. Others have come out their explanation and what not.. you still haven't give yours.

This IS a personal attack. To all Malaysians. Eff to your no personal attack policy.

I buy cars with reinforced chasisses. ABS. Airbags. I know other malaysians do so too. Not all, but most. I know my car lacks ESC, but I can do without it for a stiff, reliable chassis (and careful driving).

My personal stake here is that my car has a welded door. Yet it has a 5 star Eurocap rating. All around.

Weld joint inferiority research data. NOW. Otherwise go dai.

Indeed, it was surprising - and on a personal note, pleasing - to note that until today, the Waja's body shell is the stiffest ever offered in a Proton car - with an overall stiffness of 13,000 N/mm. Dr Epple tells us that the P3-21A betters that significantly, raising the figure to 18,000 N/mm. The benefits of a stiffer chassis are enormous. In addition to offering better crash protection, it helps to improve ride, handling, and NVH insulation.


Proton has answered. Your turn. Oh wait, do you even know who is Dr. Wolfgang Epple?
