dashboard colour of the sapphire is fugly imho..!! just stick to the black!

they should use Brembo, well known

It's so slow, there's no need for Brembo. I think drum brakes all four wheels is sufficient to stop the car on time

I notice that too. Couldn't find the SD slot? Anyone know?

i said maybe

Speaking of concepts, who wanna start talking about how Tuah became Preve

i also just came back from 2nd test drive, aren't those air cond vents? instead? tweeters would have a different cover

its not too bad actually. grip level is there. noise is reasonable.

more like 80-90% of the V12's grip on dry. not bad indeed.

maybe its coz the NVH is so good. seriously the NVH is comparable to my mom's Harrier.


it will happen, question is when. Its like last time when Proton showcased the Exora Bold. In the end it came true.

Just came back from my 2nd test drive with Victor

This time managed to test highway driving and now i understand what you guys mean by lag when start from zero. The lag isn't too bad. Just need to get used to compensating for it. The Savvy AMT is alot more dangerous. In the Preve, it lags at first then rolls off gradually but in the savvy when you give the throttle more go, the car will lurk to the front violently.

Went down to federal then to old airport road where i managed to hit 190kmh. NVH is very, very well controlled. At 190km/h you don't hear much of the wind noise unlike in my Waja. Only the tire and engine noise starts to penetrate as the engine starts revving to 5xxxRPM and handling is top notch even at high speeds. when i braked from 190, the hazard lights turn on, and for quite long Continued on to Ara Damansara with it's curvy roads and the car handles it nicely, until a stupid BMW lady driver decides to cut to my lane when I was about to overtake her, slammed on the brakes and horned and I think the ABS kicked in but i definitely heard wheel locking sound and of course, the hazard lights came on again but only blinked a few times. I think the duration the hazard light stays on depends on the speed when you brake.

Overall it was a very nice test drive session with bro Victor and can finally get to feel the car. Nice SA indeed

Blue better, black can't see the shape and blue is easier to see when u park at basement

i keep hearing the word 'sluggish' when people talk bout this car?? is it really bad?? the exora bold dont feel that way, as the inspira, as the saga flx cvt.. the turbo could be a contributing factor, but the exora bold has the same engine too.. this must be due 2 the cvt, coz iianm the gearbox in the exora bold n in the preve is a different unit, rite??

Damnnnn, (changing subjects) so, are you taking a black?

drive it to believe it bro. i hit 190kmh on the Preve on the same road i drive everyday on my Waja with adjustable coilovers with Michelin PS3 tires and the Preve handles it alot more undramatically. In my Waja i grab my wheel tightly while in the Preve it just feels like normal driving. Dare I say, the NVH is comparable to my mom's Harrier.

so which color u pick?
and when will u get ur car?

so theres no cutoff at 180 like some ppl claim? yay..

Maybe your mom is having a very old model of Toyota Harrier. It's hard to compare the sedan versus SUV If Preve is really that good, I'm sure it can sell well globally. For now, Proton only sells well in Malaysia and no where else because in other countries, tax rate is equal for all cars. When the tax rate is equal, a Toyota is about the same price as a Proton so if Proton cars are really that good, people will buy them.

laju laju buat apa,
cepat masuk kubur je.

Some said proton is so good. Just wonder if Malaysia open the car market, who will still buy proton?

a lot of people are still misinformed that proton free tax while imported car 300%..

i gip you this.. please read this

not getting the car bro. Just test drive first then poison my friends

nope. In Paultan review it stated clearly he managed to hit 205kmh on GPS which is around 215-220 on speedo

Old model? She just got it end of last year. Company car. If you noticed, pretty much all the reviews on the car praised the NVH so i'm not alone. It definitely felt conti-like.

The Vios in Thailand is selling for around 40k starting price RM. The Preve will also cost RM40k for the CFE version if without the 85% tax in Malaysia.

and UMW also mark up their own car price.. u think u pay so much for vios J spec, the salesman got how much ? not the gov only la. haha paying extra for brand name only

Admittedly, that alone does not mean the gomen's protectionism policy is no more. Foreign cars CKD and CBU are still subjected to gomen approval on their prices. If the pricing threatens Proton, it will not be approved.
