i am not basher nor supporter, i've been working in 1 of the reputable local assembly plant for Japanese vehicle before.

judging from the photo, i may conclude

1. yes it is spot weld, nothing wrong with that.
2. the quality of spot weld is not acceptable by JIS body shop standard (pre assemble the metal part before send for paintworks)
3. 1 of the photo clearly shown misalignment of the 2 panels, should the panels involve mechanical movement, ie window glass railings, this may distort the movement thus case premature power-window issues.
4. the poor welding finishing may cause water ingression and develop rust in future (as you can see on top right photo, there might already be some rust mark there)

Just my 2 cents. Hope that proton can improve in this

hehe..thnx for advice guys. Ya, true..need to save money invest, buy house again.hehe...okla, i'll drive my dad 70's corolla.hahaha...juz joking

feel sluggish tgk meter sudah berapa?  ..i will say this my manual 1.3 flx feels better..more pikap..'feels' la that is... like it or not thats cvt for u..power delivery is so linear that u r tricked thinking u going slow.. i was driving dlm taman..with saga i would only hit 40 adn sudah feel laju (dlm tmn kn) bt was driving preve felt slow kaw2 looked at the meter was doing 50 already..like i said..uncanny

So i went to the back seat and i like the heights of the car. Easy for me to go in and out without forcing me to crawl like the satria neo. Well its okay for me. I can bring my grandparents without any complaint. Hehe. Im the type of guy that put comfy as my priority and the back seat doesnt seem to satisfy me tho it has a big room leg for a tall guy like me. It feels a bit comfort than persona rear seat. For me the persona has the worst back seat ever. So i thought this preve's back seat would be even good than the persona. It does, but a bit only. But stil can close one eye on that. Well as malaysian, we will drive the car to bring it back to kampung bringing family or kawan2. So the boot is marvellous. I can even sleep in there. u can put almost everything in there. I like it a lot. Even bigger than persona and inpira's boot.

As being told by my engineer friend, should be in 1st quarter 2013
