mat79, any idea when R3 version will come out?

I tried to do red colour like Neo R3, cannot get that close.



Attached thumbnail(s)

havent really driven it on the road. Driving it round a few blocks cant conclude everything. Gotta wait this Thurday I bawak jalan jalan ke city and highway.

I hope I don't start the Flame here.. This is what I see for Proton Preve..

Exterior Design:
For my personal point of it, it just like you seeing a girl looks so beautiful from the back but when you look at the front you Fuuu llaaaa Mak... Ugly. I can say the front design is a little copy from VW Golf, with a KIA Forte butt Curve with some nice LED design just like what Savvy did. Conclusion Nice butt, ugly face.. Honestly I feel the New Myvi design win it all.

Interior Design:
The most disappointed thing I encounter, the design is way back like 10 years ago, they should just launch this car at the GEN 2 era.. sure it beat lots of people expectation. I feel even Myvi Interior Speedometer much much more better than this I so call upgraded version of Proton Saga Speedometer with (digital info).

The car is spaces, can fit lots of junk inside.

rest of the thing... "Standard Plastic", not meant for comfort use, but just useable. Once broken, you just have to replace them, don't ever thing their plastic can last more than 2,3 years.

Why Proton still go for center console come on la, can't they just learn from Korean this time? Korean learning from Jap, and why not we learn from Korean? Look at Hyundai Elentra 2012, you will know what I talking about..

Performance:
Wait until I test drive first No comment yet.

So far, I won't pay for this junk.. I rather get Myvi and go outside shop change a nice Sport RIM, and put up some accessory.

point taken, different people, different taste and different way of interpreting it.



Even I find Myvi speedometer is nicer than the meter in a BMW. I think BMW should learn from the Japanese too to make proper meters.







Hello, common sense please. Once broken of course need to replace. Unless you cheapskate use UHU glue to rebond it back.

Can borrow me your crystal ball?



center console?

What I mean is the center Audio Player Design, too square and too old fashion, still use the old framework concept (Dual Rack, design to fit an LCD size). Unless they expect you to change the Audio Player in not far future



VS



If you can compare both of them side by side, you will find lot's of different. Damn the night, my brain not working well

Seriously I feel they should launch this Car like in Gen 2 Era

I like Preve interior better than Elantra. Then again I'm a fan of VW and its simplicity...

Taste is subjective. Get over it. There is no 'better' interior as such...

I agree on VW and it simplicity, VW switch button design really giving me a shock You can push it, twist it, pull it and pull it again for multi function purpose

preve's interior is more elegant than the elantra. Elantra's center dash is just as horrible as ford fiesta

So how about Cx-5 dude?

Elantra interior especially center console is rather "busy", for me, Preve is more elegance and simple. I would prefer simple and functional design.

Malaysian, u cannot give them a complicated thingy. All jahanam within the day. So the simple, the better

+1

I like preve simplicity as well compared to elantra.

Just that i dont like the speedometer using red color and the types of font they use for it.

Preve dashboard layout is not that bad, just that if more refinement was made to it it will be wonderful to look at.

However it's not. But for the price they ask, i dont mind.

Gonna test drive tomorrow. Hopefully I'll like it. Already lowered my expectations

Added on April 18, 2012, 4:22 amProton should look into the cost efficiency of producing its car. It is tagged at 60K to RM72K. The Hyundai Elantra (Avante) starting price is RM40K in Korea. That is a huge difference withstanding Elantra is a better make compared to Preve.

Added on April 18, 2012, 4:48 amHeloo kawan, for 73K, we expect a better product, since it is made locally.
My personal opinion, if want to give this kind of quality, it should be priced half the price. If want to argue, go check how much is the price of other makes of the same class as Preve in their local market. It is less than half the price it sell in Malaysia, off course cant argue the pricing in Malaysia because of the tax imposed when it comes to our shore.

Hello kawan, proton also got heavy tax lah.. before tax it still cheaper than without tax.

arghhh.... I can't stand that hyundai interior. Soo ugly. I prefer preve interior, simple and nice. I think the koreans overdone their styling too much (interior and exterior).

I'm happy for proton not to take the koreans route.

btw, myvi is even worst.
