but the pick up slow response,i feel its not due to turbo lag..is due to cvt,drive by wire and maybe the tuning..bcoz wat i test in exora,the pick up not as bad as preve
*
or maybe because the NVH is too good?

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.

conventional AT got rubberband feel? sweat.gif

Nope, it was because he bought a 30-45k used car. What if he bought a 73k used car? U can buy second hand Honda Accord or Toyota which can last longer & better reputation. I had many friends bought brand new Proton cars, but ended up go to service centre twice a mth due to car defects & unsolve problem! Finally they given up & buy a Jap used car.

Guys, earlier got proton people already claim that it already get 5 Stars ANCAP rating? Is it official? At the launch only stats MIROS 5 Stars not ANCAP.

I emailed ANCAP enquiring about this and wether they are testing the car or not.

err abang tunggulah preve kuat dekat market aus, baru ada official 5 stars laugh.gif

Maybe your mom is having a very old model of Toyota Harrier. It's hard to compare the sedan versus SUV smile.gif 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.

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

i gip you this.. please read this

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.

but saying proton is taxed lesser than asean made toyota or honda is just so plain wrong

not getting the car bro. Just test drive first then poison my friends laugh.gif
nope. In Paultan review it stated clearly he managed to hit 205kmh on GPS which is around 215-220 on speedo whistling.gif
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.
*
errr the cheapest vios j manual in thailand is rm 50k okay.. not rm 40k
not to mention that minimum DP for cars in thailand is 25% and max loan term is 6 years icon_idea.gif

proton can sell around 47k(inclusive trader's profit) preve, but then, thats still exclusive the 85% tax.

So, u want to put hatred, do it to the right party.

after reading all the welding issue, button issue, proton make expensive car, i think i gonna reconsider Vios J which is in the range of wat i m prepared to pay for a sedan. practical considerations such as below really make me doubt my choice on Preve:
1. less electronic and features on J. no need worry will spoil. this is very important because anyway i also dunno wat for need traction control, ESC, KFC, ETC...
2. only 1 airbag. my baby can sit safely in the front passenger seat with his car seat.
3. side mirror manual adjust. sometimes i find it really hard cos in auto the button too sensitive.
4. no sport rims. in malaysia road so many potholes, no need worry rim damage.
5. shorter warranty. so i no need go service center service for 5 years.
6. dugong look. bash it all u want but i am a nature lover.
7. if ever need to set foot in Toyota SC, got nasi lemak and teh tarik.
8. i will level up cos driving a CBU car. pity u guys still drive local car. business partners will give me bigger contracts cos they more confident in a person who drives imported car.
9. japanese frens will butthurt cos they no chance to own this awesome toyota in JDM.
10. lastly, if both J and Preve turn out to be shit, japanese shit is still smell nicer than local shit.
pls dont bash me if i change to J. its really tempting.

hehe good for you thumbup.gif
