very risky later not nice, how?

Come one bro. You're the pioneer for the black. Don't leave us! Lol. I saw the blue. Although its ok...after sometime, I think I'll just go "meh" at the colour. Black is still the more "everlasting" colour. IMHO at least. Initially wanted black...but then kena poison by silver. In the end, back to my roots laugh.gif

very stupid, as a manufacturing engineer, tat part is considered a sealed part, where it is not the exterior of a car, i will just weld it, and if the weld integrity is there, then what for u go and make that part pretty since ppl are not so dumb to go and look at this kind of place everytime, and they only can see them when they open and close door, heck i don think ppl even really look at those part, who the fk open door and stare at the door inner part for awhile then go out of the car? (only those fuking dumb mofo did this)
*
Dude, I understand the frustration. A lot of people are self-proclaimed experts when it comes to Protons. Suddenly they know everything about structural integrity and what not. Heh. Try it on a different badge "State-of-the-art technology!" "Imagine the thought process put into designing such a safe car!" yada yada yada *yawns*

Besides, how the heck are they supposed to "clean" the weld? No point in doing that. Might as well not weld it in the first place sweat.gif I suppsoe they could've put some sort of sticker or plastic to hide the "imperfection".

QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Apr 18 2012, 06:32 PM)
its called spot weld bro. its not meant to be neat. its meant to be strong.
*
Explain that to the masses bro. They don't care. Aesthetics ranks far too high in today's society. And the brand. Heh. What has our society degenerated into?

QUOTE(blo0dLuSt @ Apr 18 2012, 06:44 PM)
later proton said : can ma. but if polish make it weaker , do u still wanna polish it?

read more on spot weld.

Spot on. Pun clearly intended.


QUOTE(alan1123 @ Apr 18 2012, 07:31 PM)
Maybe preve is high tech and all that, but we cannot ignore car is like a ''status'' for majority of people

not all people know car like we do here in LYN and we are consider as minority people who know some about car

but what about those people that don know? they only know itu import, ini buatan tempatan

thats all they know! thats why if image and status is your concern , better buy a car that can be use to fetch your isteri at your perkahwinan rather than a proton...lol
*
Car and status? WTF? Lol. Seriously. Car and status? Omg, I repeated myself. Please excuse my repetition. I just found that statement somewhat...amusing. Kind of took me by suprise there.

So I drive a proton and that makes me...lesser in other people's eyes? Hold on, lemme find the f**k i give laugh.gif

Honestly, if the public service is better, I'd ditch the car and take the train man. Just like our public transport advocate Kampung biggrin.gif

QUOTE(FrostLance @ Apr 18 2012, 07:32 PM)
i buy car to get to point A n B with safety and comfort. The F do i care what other ppl thinks lol. wanna care about status i would of bought that vios and people would say...wahhhh its a toyota..banyak baguss ini..

instead i bought a forte, and ppl would say.. ceh korean car.. mesti tarak bagus..
*
Where's the like button? Car is for convenience leh. Not status symbol. If you want status symbol, then proudly display your uni sticker at the back of your car. Not the car you drive. laugh.gif

Income tax so low my ass lol. In the US xda roadtax , tak ada cukai pintu.. no GST.. lol.. one of the reason my family finally migrating abroad and we are bumiputeras sommore.
*
Heh. Very true bro. A lot of people don't see it though. The country...was a better place. Though people really shouldn't harp about the 300% currently non-existent tax. And someone made a very good point about the government approval of car prices - case in point ford vs T (was it you dares that made thsi reference?).

But that's severely OT.

QUOTE(steven.7676 @ Apr 18 2012, 08:36 PM)
saw and sit on it at proton show room yesterday. the design of the meter not to my liking. the front seat have good support but the rear seat are to soft to my liking. it make you sink to the seat. the seat are low like previous proton. so make higher for easy access.
do you all notice that preve steering rack cant be adjusted.
*
Incorrect. It can be adjusted. It's not telescopic, yes, but height can be adjusted. First thing I did when I got in the car.

Speaking of the interior, I'll have to take back what I said about it not being as polished. Well not everything, just some of it. It could do better (obviously), but for their first try at a global car, I must say it has a very conti feel. If you're a ricer/wannabe ricer/only drive Japs/Korean/etc then yeah, the design would suck balls since it's not in your playground. However, if you're into the sleek, simple design type, then the Prevé's interior fits the bill.

After sitting in the car, I found that most things actually jive. Not so from the photos though. I still find the HU to be too small though. Still, design wise. I like it.

What I do NOT like was the fact that the fuel gauge is electronic. I like analogue. They did so well for the knobs and all...and they had to spoil it. Minor niggle though. Just a personal preference.

You know, having blind bashers doesn't mean the supporters are blind supporters.

If the welding was done like this particular photo, then the quality unacceptable la. But it's not on all the cars right? Most of the other photos, it just looks horrible. Merely cosmetic. Haih.

Enough with the trolling already la. Got legit point go ahead. But repeat same story over and over again...It gets old.

And reflects poorly on the person posting it.

I just booked.....

blue lagoon, I"M SORRY BLACK.

My personal opinion after heading down to the showroom and see the blue one, it is quite nice actually compare to the picture. Totally different.

because i have to wait 2 months for black yet the blue one coming to the showroom in the next 3 days. Plus bank loan and car registration will take me around 1 week and i'm ready to drive ;D

To newbie: inb4 i am pre-book batch.

Turn coat. Conniving little btard.

LET IT BE KNOWN, THAT HENCEFORTH, THE NAME FenomX WILL FOREVER BE CROSSED FROM THE BOOK OF BLACK!

TRAITOR!

TURN COAT!

BURN HIMMMMM!!

DEATH UNTO THE NONBELIEVER!

laugh.gif

Ok, so I'm bored. 'grats for the blue though! It's not a bad colour. But I think black is nicer. Has a more lasting appeal. To me at least tongue.gif

Oh btw, could you change my colour to black on the first page?

Well said. That's how it is in the world nowadays. It's who you know. Heh.

QUOTE(jetpacker @ Apr 18 2012, 10:57 PM)
another thing of preve is the side mirror, yea,,auto folding is cool..but always need to close open close open when turn on and off the car???..how long can it last????..
*
...you just come here to bash mindlessly is it? A LOT of other cars have the autofolding function. Does that make them bad as well? Will it not last long enough also? You expect things in your car to last more than 5 years ah? laugh.gif Friend's Merc (AMG tuned mind you) also have parts breaking down here and there after 5 years. Does that make the Merc a lesser car?

I'm really beginning to believe that people are bashing the car just because it's a proton. I gave these people benefit of the doubt before...but seeing comments like this really make me want to face-palm myself shocking.gif

QUOTE(mutt @ Apr 19 2012, 12:22 AM)
Can i use my company bank statement to apply loan? i think i have used up 1/2 of my salary for housing loan. I have a home based business with 5 digit  turnover monthly. But only created current account with maybank and cimb 2 months ago. Heard that i need 6 month bank statement for a company. Going for 9 years loan. Dont ask me why. I prefer to use extra money reinvesting for my business sweat.gif
*
Yep. You'll need 6 months statement according to CIMB. Although, I got away with it being 3 months somehow. Your company S/B or Ent?

I think if you can prove the earning is consistent each month should be ok.

Re-investing is the way to go btw. Car isn't an asset - like Fenom said. Better don't waste your disposable income too fast to get it laugh.gif

QUOTE(mat79 @ Apr 19 2012, 08:36 AM)
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.
*
Setuju gila khinzir! Don't blame the company la. Even if want to bash also...haih. Got brain right? Can think right? Use it lor. Kesian the brain of the blind bashers. I'm sure if they could trade it in, they'd get full price for. Like brand new because it rarely sees use laugh.gif

Eh, someone makes sure mat79 comes for a TT session if there really will be one. Then we tie him to a chair and korek his head for all those wonderful info brows.gif

QUOTE(torres09 @ Apr 19 2012, 08:55 AM)
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.
*
Chill bro. Just block those idiots if you don't want to get annoyed. Lol. Although some of them do have fair points la. Oh btw, you forgot to put "11. my car door no ugly welding mark. damn 9 safe. better than milo can" laugh.gif


Haih. Still no time to test drive the damn car. I jelly liao see you all test test dy.

Wah lao. Why so many haters?

Seriously. Talk about the car. Or gtfo. Bashing without thinking really reflects poorly on one's intellect.

I really cannot comprehend the blind slamming of the car with no actual proof to back it up.

If you're just gonna be coming in here to drop snide sarcastic remarks, go to Kopitiam la. We're trying to have a decent discussion going on here.

Retards with two digit IQs aren't welcome.

I'm sorry. Retards at least don't have a choice. What's worse than a retard I wonder?


ps: Purposely being more nasty with this reply. I wanna know who I need to block. That way I safe space on my phone when browsing. Stupid smart phone not so smart laugh.gif

Hi all, I posted my concern earlier but I guess no one notice becos of the bashing going all around... I just dun understand why wanna layan ppl with narrow vision..

But anyway, I was asking can I change the preve ICE without voiding warranty.. If there is a LCD player that specially build for preve in the future with better quality whic works like plug n play...

How about the tinting also... Can get from outside?? Will void warranty ke??? If got better one...

P/s. please dun go down to their level of intelligence by responding to their bash and troll.. Wouldn't u guys find it a waste of time???? Please make this thread back to the purpose it suppose to be..  Thank you...

Got one reply regarding the tinting actually. Not sure if this thread or old one though.

If the new one got problem and have to take out - the ori tint sure will rosak also. Then it'll void the warranty.

Lol. Sorry for the quick-ish reply. Gotta leave the office now.

I hope the thread doesn't go into High Speed mode when I come back later sweat.gif

PBB called me and say,

"Thank you for applying your loan with us, we are glad to tell you that your loan has been approved with the interest rate of 2.9% 10% Downpayment for 9 years"

Me: why 2.9%?

PBB: "Sir, we have revised your credit assessment, you have a very good and clean record so we decided to give you 2.9 instead of 3%"

Me: i thought it is 2.88%?

PBB: This is the best we could offer you unless you take 5 years loan and we could revised it and lower it down.

Me: Nah, it's ok i rather take the extra money to do rolling, 9 years will do and i will finish it earlier if i have even extra money after investing.

PBB: Ok sir, we hope you enjoy our services.

Me: Definitely i do.

10 minutes later:

SA: Hello sir, you punya kereta sudah sampai mahu datang tengok?

Me: SERIOUSLY? esok saya pergi bayar DP then tunggu car registration ;D

Questions for the test drivers:

1) Can the bluetooth be paired with the phone and be used for phone calls?
2) Does it support the iPod/iPhone for playing media
3) Can it charge from the Usb port?

Coolio. Cheers mate. Was wanting to test it out on my own but I simply can't find the time to do it sweat.gif

That helped me out a lot biggrin.gif

So since the usb port can charge, that means I don't need to bring around my charger right?

Anyways, gonna be off to format my computer now. I hope the thread doesn't sky rocket while I do that sweat.gif
