Finally,i oledi test drive the preve at seremban 2..first impression for me is,why the response so sluggish when move from standstill?i tot is car havent warm up,but after warm up oso same..the sa oledi told me tis issue b4 i test drove it..the performance for me is so so onli,maybe i'm put too high expectation for tis global car..when use D mode,i always need press hard to push the car to accelerate faster.i oso test it,when i stop the car,then i press the pedal and the rpm rev up to 1.5k rpm,the car still din move sweat.gif need press hard abit then juz the power suddenly coming..personali i dun like tis feel..i oso got test 0-100,but at last onli manage record the video from 0-90,then got car in front oledi..after i watch bec my video,from 0-90 is around 10-11sec..i use the stopwatch to count few times oledi according the video tat i record..i'm use D drive to test it and aircond is on..car got 3 person total around 190kg..i'm wan use the way wat mat79 mentioned..but from standstill to 90kmh,how i press hard the rpm still around 3.5k rpm there..so tis is max torque for tis engine..according tis test,i oso found that the dashboard will vibrate every time when i press hard to pick up..test few times oso same..and the rear speaker board keep got rattling sound oso..and maybe the test drive car is lemon car,even the rear right hand side oso can hear the wind noise from the triangle mirror after 80kmh..my wife sat at rear and tis all rattling sound was told by her..i oso got sat at rear to hear,and i oso can hear it..when use the paddle shift to test,the power is feel more powerful..but the downside is it will auto upshift every 5400-5500rpm..when use S drive,it juz help u increase the rpm to make u feel the car more alive when accelerate..when use D drive,i full throttle it,the rpm onli go beyond 4k rpm..and the speed wat i hit is around 130kmh..then i slow down oledi..in term of handling and stability,since i din reali to push hard to test,wat i feel is the stability was almost same as my persona..the NVH is better than others proton car,but i still can hear the engine noise and cvt gearbox noise quiet loud after 4k rpm..its not silent as my wife swift..but the road noise and wind noise is quite hard to realize when i speed to 130kmh..

honestly,i'm serious buyer b4 i test drove tis car..after test drove it,i think i still need to hold my plan 1st(my wife oso told me hold 1st) and wait the review from others owner 1st..since i was found quite a lot of quality problem in tis car..since the test drive car oso got the wind noise from rear triangle mirror,rear speaker board got rattling sound..for the performance part,me n my wife maybe not familiar wit cvt,the pick up response quite sluggish,need to press hard a bit then the car juz will pick up..tis feeling make me n my wife not so prefer lo..
*
the sluggishness as being told by few forumers due to the CVT. The turbo is the culprit as well.

again as being told, it's due to the CVT. Mini Cooper has this problem as well.

nw i wonder how the proton to test the 0-100 and get the 9.6sec result?since i oledi use D drive,and never rev more than 4k rpm(never over the max torque rpm range),0-90 oledi need around 10-11sec(wit aircond on and 3 person in car)..or the proton test wit paddle shift or s mode?
*
suppose to use the S mode to get better respond. with paddle shift of course

yes. reason? twice the price, twice the charger (twincharger).

And so much lighter. Have to admit that VW is more advanced in anyway. The only thing that can be compared is handling. Thx to lotus biggrin.gif but that doesnt make VW is problem free. I believe their DSG quite troublesome?

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.
*
To get rated by ANCAP must be sold in Australia first. Everything u heard before this is just unofficial. Just claim that preve will get 5 star.

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

Most of the income masuk maybank. It's consistent and keep increasing but the only prob i have just created current acc in mid feb. I really need a car for my wife cos going to retire my savvy. 6 years lenjan kaw2 edi sweat.gif maybe i can use current account statement as support doc for my salary statement. Mine is ent.

btw, gonna submit my loan soon. but since i'm working with singapore company (but based in KL), need to wait my statement to be emailed by the HR which normally takes more than a week to get their respond sleep.gif slow HR indeed.. wife wants silver but i kinda like the blue lagoon. the color makes the preve looks like 100% conti car.. tongue.gif

Go for the blue... pretty striking and not so common on the road.. silver cars... dime a dozen on the street (plus point is you only need to wash once a month tongue.gif)
*
yup silver kinda boring. the blue lagoon really makes the car appealing. I just WoW when I first saw the blue preve. so far I managed to see the blue, red and white. IMO, the blue has the WoW factor, red makes the rear doesn't look nice because the it blends with the rear lamp while white just plain boring to me just like another white Inspira... hehe..

no need if u already get used to it. im driving savvy and i believe the lag is worse but since i already know how to handle the lag, no big deal already. i believe there will be after market product to improve the lag, hopefully nod.gif

Fact is fact.  Proton is nothing but a low end car manufacturer that can sell to poor malaysian who have no choice because imported are make artificially expensive so proton can sell.
