May be directly go to their part supplier, DK Leather in Puchong....

i think they stood by their dyno chart and their official century sprint time in which the preve is faster than inspira
preve is 9.6s
inpira is 10.5s same as gen2 lolols

that is because u expected mind blowing acceleration

I guess. But real world experience kinda difference with spec-sheet figures.

Comparing with Peugeot 308 1.6 THP. Fair enough?

but when u compare the price, Preve won with its average performance but acceptable price range ~

Test drove the preve today. Impressed.

Good looking car. Spacious cabin. Handling is good, doesn't feel fake like a lot of cars nowadays. Power is good. My only complaint is the engine noise is quite loud.

Was in the showroom for 45 mins today waiting for my turn and saw two guys asking to trade in their Vios for preve. How times have changed for proton made cars.

I guess.

nope....

308 THP engine is much more refined and much more powerful than this pervert....
not to mentioned the mapping of the ECU is bias towards a more sportier drive...

try thinking polo 1.2 TSI acceleration and u will get the picture...


on the other hand, this pervert is map towards what u call effortless acceleration... where u wont feel the engine strain to accelerate the car from standstill or under a heavy load


to expect a mind blowing acceleration will just disappoint u to the max

do u necessarily need to use that word?

Guys..

I have just went to one of the showroom today but no chance to test drive.

However, i'm satisfied with just seating in the car. I'm just wondering about one thing, in previous several pages there's some of us here who taught ppl of how to actually open up the bonnet by pressing 2-3 seconds on the remote.

Sorry for the noob question, but, do we need to use the remote too to close it back?

This is because when i tried to swing it (to close it of course) I heard a slight creaking sound from the bonnet's 'bracket' to the body. I tried to look but detected nothing. It maybe from my commoner eyesight but like what i asked, did we not supposed to manually close it like that?

Thank you!

Will never change my mind to buy it though..

u trolling or what? come'on

Apart from the questionable choice of word, the post is quite informative...semi troll

You need to close it manually....

Benz pun sama....

learn to look at the lighter side of life

i dissolve ur word and see the info

Noted. Will go and have a test drive for Polo 1.2 TSI.

Gud nite fellow Bashers and fanbois alike! Have fun.

its a case in point... dont take it as a direct comparison

polo has the super efficient DSG gearbox to channel all the available power from the engine to the wheel as compared to the combo found on the preve


scrap the polo 1.2 TSI (sorry), i think it will be better for u to test drive a 2.0 NA car...
that is the type of acceleration expected...

after all, this 1.6 CFE is supposed to be like a 2.0 NA car


in my opinion, this preve has marginally slower/faster acceleration than a FD2 (my personal butt-dyno)
forget the 0-100 km/h on paper... paper values means nothing more than marketing

308turbo got numerous issues...check out pug thread to know more.

Thanks Bro Armoury. Hehe..

Therefore it shouldn't have that sound in the first place isn't it? Well, maybe its a lemon car as the inside if its not too harsh to use this phrase, the said car has indeed been molested kaw kaw punya. A lot of finger prints here & there on the dashboard.

The front passenger seat's enclosure is a bit tricky to close but i can live with that.

Thanks again..
