What agreement did u sign, for me i place RM500 on 6/4/12 until now i didnt sign anything except got my receipt for the deposit. Loan approve already, now waiting for further instruction from sa when i can get my car.

about the gap, afaik, the production will have the filler wire/metal to coverup the gap. But better check it when receive the car. It shud be there. About water sipping, it wont rust cost all metal is galvanised metal n there are lots of holes around any car. If not,all will be rusted easily, but still insist checked whether the filler wire is there or not.

U can take a look at manual preve sprint time, its the same as cvt based flx se. But manual based flx se sprint better than manual preve. Maybe can ask dares to check up the owners manual book since he owned flx se cvt. It supposed to be there.

ha...ha...there are people investigating the scene :-), so,it means there are still sensible people not to judge by the picture only.

But in the end, maybe some senseless people will say prtn send out people to hammering the curb, put tyre marks n etc etc... That is the wonderful life in malaysia.

Like saying picture tell a thousand words/stories, so that what proton get from malaysian, a thousand assumptions, verdicts n reports :-).

Its like saying 1 piece is better than 2 piece door, same as saying saga/savvy has better n strong doors compare to preve@ any other makes. Shud check the t, h, s, n & another h@k that also used door sash. But the cosmetic, with filler,it will look better. Without it, u will see 4mm-6mm plasma braze@spot. The filler wont make it strong,just cosmetic purpose, but the braze@spot is. But still insist to check on the filler part when received the car coz production one shud come with those.

no filler is used in any preve car at the glenmarie showroom. All got open gap.

About turbine unit from borg wagner, not only vw, audi,n skoda used it, ford ecoboost n volvo also using the same turbine.

It used water-cooled bearing casing n can stand high temperature up to 1050 celcius.

This question also will raise up, why use timing belt? Then the answer given to me both systems, chain or belt have pros n cons. If not, why vw also opt for belting, n ford ecoboost also using the same thing. It just we always exposed to japan n korean techs, we left the part on europe techs. Cozz campro based engine is develop by lotus, n the design of course based on what they familiarise before, europe based. Thats why coolant used by campro based engine is the same type u found in the contis,rather than the japs. Remind u, taking care of coolant is really important for conti based engine, dont simply add up water.

And punch cvt using metal belting rather then rubber belt as in some others, thats why rubberband effect is not appear. The lag is not rubberband effect. Just google for further understanding.

Im a layman, so, cfe,iafm+ n cvt is not the most state of the art tech in the world, but not either outdated one. Just for example, iafm+ already comes with new generation 32 bit ecu easy-u from continantalag/siemens vdo, while ford 1.6 duratech ti vct only used 16 bit application, that that ford engine is the current one. Not saying iafm+ is better than ford duratech ti vct, it just that iafm+ is not as outdated as people might think. Using punch cvt does help a lot on catering the wieght of preve compare to flx se, thats why century sprint is not that far from flx se. If use mitsu auto, then it will be a big gap.

Have u heard the word gear ratio can immitate torque? Being having infinite ratio give cvt advantages compare to manual@auto gbox. The ratio is really wide, so that it will choose suitable ratio accordingly to the weight. While in conv at, the engineers have to test every ratio n choose the best n balance one with power n fc, while cvt, just mapping n the cvt will adapt iself. Thats why it has its own tcu n adaptive function.

U can take a look at manual preve sprint time, its the same as cvt based flx se. But manual based flx se sprint better than manual preve. Maybe can ask dares to check up the owners manual book since he owned flx se cvt. It supposed to be there.

That is my layman explaination. Cant explain further coz not engineer, just convey the word from friends.

I think somebody should try to do 0-100km/h on preve in d mode s mode and manual mode.

So if one of us are unfortunate and there is a gap, what can the SA do? take it back to SC or take it back to HQ to fix it? I hate to be seeing the car almost reaching my hand and got taken away again. If SC can fix these stuff I can drive it over immediately.
I check on few showroom cars it has as well, some are ok but some got noticeable gap if you look at it.

i just did.. but its so slow mang..seriously. spend 30 mins with it around 12 just now at glenmarie. Even drag race with a collegues' persona base line. I wonder how proton got that figure. Response is slow especially from still. I know about the clutch disengage thing when u press the brake. But still is so slow compared to a persona.

I dont understand the tuning. Even the SA also says the same about the tuning. The RPM goes high to get the car moving. To get a good FC u need the power at low RPM. This i press till 4k rpm for normal acceleration.
If u guys drive a 2.0 NA car, u rarely go above 2.2-2.5k rpm in normal acceleration.

diff way of getting gooc fc.

the more u press, the higher the cvt rev. it will move more eagerly. this will take you to ur desire speed faster, hence u waste less fuel to get to that speed.
if you press less, it rev less. it will move from stand still slower, but the acceleration is constant till you reach your desire speed. even more fuel saving..

in auto it is low rpm coz it has a fix gear ratio. the gear have to climb up the rev range. hence it always start from low rev....

you just dun understand how cvt works...

Probably i dont quite understand CVT much, i personally dont like it lol. But i felt the car very hard to move, even when the turbo kicks in.
