People need to be educated about turbo cars....

Honestly, those uncles who buy the Preve won't care about how a turbo works. The moment they feel the car is slow when moving from standstill, compared to, say, the Civic, they will just tell Proton to eatshitanddie. Furthermore how many who buy such a large sedan is a petrolhead?

It's a damn shame, though.

er, for cvt, to seriously go vroom vroom, no one would use D.

if you use D, then just accelerate smoothly.

for example, when u going really fast, you step until 5krpm.
and when u drive smoothly, its 2krpm-100kmh, 3krpm 150km ( example)

so between 2krpm to 5krpm, how can you actually race? with such a wide rpm gap?

use manual. hold the RPM that you want smile.gif

and i dont remember ppl driving civic racing with D mode too. thats why all these kinds of car had manual over ride.

and...this car is 1300kg, when 0-10kmh its not as fast as myvi. prehaps you should try civic and altis. ok, kancil and kelisa are best at 0-10kmh, no offense to whom ever complains about this. ( cos tthe K car is light)

One thing I hate using s drive for my civic is because it's too artificial, it feels like its tearing my gearbox apart. Don't really know how to put it in words but it's like the drag between gears(the feel) has a strong rubber Band feel. For century sprint I did it within 10 secs before.

tis is not concern wit NVH..u can feel it when u press the throttle but the car din give response

it feels slow, but then when you look at your meter suddenly it's showing 60~70 when you're still in housing area then when you slam on the brakes before you hit the hump, the ABS activates and you hear tire screeching eventhough you don't feel much inside the car sweat.gif

at least thats what happened to me today laugh.gif

and btw, 180kg is alot of extra weight on a car sweat.gif

ever wondered why race driver strip their cars bare eventhough they'd get only 50kg at best of savings?

how fast did the speedo needle climb?
usually cars with good nvh even if driven fast, will still feel very slow
*
0-90 is take around 10-11sec,so do u feel the speedo needle will climb faster?for wat i test,tats is normal..again,maybe i'm not familiar wit cvt,so use wrong way to test..the method tat i test is,use D drive,full throttle it,suddenly the rpm direct to 2k rpm,the tyre spin around 1sec and hit 3k++ rpm when the speed reach 90kmh..

step more, step to 4krpm, and maintain there, let the CVT does its magic.

Regarding the buttons picture, i find it a lil bit stupid, those people went inside the car, spam all the buttons like non stop, purposely pressed until like their own car, then spoil ady, very happy because they win.

they win because they want to bash proton. Good job.

i will still be buying this car tho. I went to a showrrom today, batt not working, people press all the electronic things but engine never start, of course lah battery KO

Dont test with 4 people inside, or not car will become sluggish as well. Is this statement right???

its drive at 1st gear, step until 6krpm, then shift to D.

and Rev to max at N is the best way to change a new CVT gearbox.

go youtube, plenty of lancer 0-100 video.

Hahaha. Yeah. It's 1st gear. My mistake.

Have to say very good job with the preve, still some places for improvement like the glove box and driver coin box and fascia for the headunit but otherwise very very very neat and bolted together car. Superbly spacious in the back but still a gigantic boot.

Thanks to the price, people are adopting a "u buy first lah" attitude. If this car highest spec is RM60k, people wouldn't mind taking the risk.
