QUOTE(ben_panced @ Apr 19 2012, 03:09 PM) i tested too but oni around rumah kedai la coz they hadnt registered the car yet.. and i felt the acceleration is farking slow, even with paddle shift i tried to rev to 4000 rpm but the needle is way heavy.. my cps felt faster then the preve.. but maybe the NVH of the preve is too good and the body is too stiff that caused this..  on highway it will just accelerate beautifully. The test drive route I took lead me to a relatively empty main road and I take the opportunity to nail the throttle halfway down. The rpm shoots to 3,500rpm and all the sudden I can see I'm nearing 100kmh after a block of shops (approx 120m). I cant feel the speed until I peeked at the speedometer and in the car there's also an uncle which become the passenger. My SA and I picked him up from the showroom just to impress him. When I am nailing the throttle, the uncle say "fuh, sekejap saja sudah lajunya".

QUOTE(ben_panced @ Apr 19 2012, 03:11 PM) i felt that preve should be driven in S mode while standstill  yup, recommended. The initial pick up from standstill from S is much better, but got to becareful with the throttle or else gonna buttsex the person in front. haha

QUOTE(ben_panced @ Apr 19 2012, 03:17 PM) when you were accelerating, you felt like the car is very slow and quiet right? i cant hear any road noise during the test drive which is very good yo  err, ya. it somehow gives the feeling that the car is going very slow but actually the speedo is already climbing towards 100  definitely not as "slow feeling" as the BMW 730Li but it has half of that feeling. err, as for noises, I can still hear a bit of wind noise from the B pillars when going above 50kmh and also the tyre roar is a bit on the high side, IMO.

QUOTE(kcng @ Apr 19 2012, 03:27 PM) he did not expect me to throw the car round that corner where i usually did with my hatch....  he is fine with me diving in and out of corners around penchala link (with ESC off, in the wet, almost midnight) but he did not expected the U-Turn thingy...  lol. making people wet his pants.  the only hard cornering i try is after I drop off my SA and the uncle back to the showroom and I am making another round round the shops and I simply throw the car into a right corner and nail the throttle full at the corner apex. No tyre screetch and the car is still quite planted, body roll is minimal. I guess I gonna test drive again and this time I'm gonna add more speed and find a bigger corner to accomodate the additional speed.

BTW, the test drive unit I drove doesn't have any rattles or weird noises coming out from the cabin assembly. The one facing such issues when test driving must be test driving a lemon unit.

The throttle delay explained; QUOTE Well, I own a Mini Cooper Works GP limited edition with supercharged engine and CVT and I can tell you it suits just well. A lot is calibration. You can make a CVT agressive and sport as well, especially in manual mode. I do think people forget that Proton has to meet Euro norms with the P3 (fuel consumption and CO2), you can produce a sporty car, no problem but you meet norms. Another thing not CVT related is the pedal map for P3 (how much torque delivered at which pedal percentage. The one in the P3 is lazyer than the one in Exora. But that might change soon, based on feedbacks like these. http://forum.autoworld.com.my/index.php?ac...54&qpid=1813371 This post has been edited by V12Kompressor: Apr 20 2012, 11:39 AM

QUOTE(happyhappyjony @ Apr 20 2012, 09:48 PM) Hmm...i think i would need to get use to that lag but honestly, i don't think that the accelerator was that lazy in D mode .. just slightly sluggish below 2000rpm ..i can live with it. Preve is better in many ways compared to my Vios ..the Accord was a 1990 5speed manual (sold it off for the Vios) yup. By pressing to 2,000rpm from standstill, the "lag" isn't that apparent. Just have to find the sweet spot of it.

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Apr 21 2012, 11:04 AM) normally ppl say like tat lo.. like old wives' tale lol.. means drive like how u normally drive also no problem right? they owes say engine havent break in, scare later u stress it later kong.. an engine should be conditioned to a stress test before it was fitted in the car in factory, so nothing to worry about.
