According to the majority of testers of Preve, even the CFE variant is underpowered, maybe they are too used to normal AT cars?

Some times very hard to judge during the test drive. First there are over hundred ppl already test drive the car, and worst they are not test drive but trying to spoil the car. Come on u dun drive such way if the car belongs to u. Any way u drive violent also will break lar. U can drive a sedan like driving a 4wd or driving like a sport car.
My only concern is the quality itself. For example when a thing is manufactured there will some tolerance or buffer before it breaks down. That why some design are made to compensate any possible damage could happen. Of course the cost of manufacturing will cost more. So there come the cost down factor.
I not saying this car is bad. Just want to understand how well the car is make. A simple continental car or a simple vios, after driving more than 5 years it still going well. But if a simple proton car maybe after 3 years driving many problem appeared. Sometime i dun think is the qc prob, it could be the design and costing side. So conclusion is how is the preve team would be preform. This is very interesting. Specs wise no problem, now will be coming to reliability.
But still very poision to buy.
Lastly design is very subjective, I think those ppl like continental car will like preve. But for those looking for jap or korean modern design, they may complain it. Personally I like it coz the design is simple and classy.

Well in terms of reliability my Waja 2001 4g18 not bad. Got the car last year, replace all wear and tear parts, maintain it nicely and the car never let me down. Even managed to survive one day on the track. Only thing is the door handle broke once but that's about it. My friend who bought an Audi A4 year 2000 for 23k said he rather have my car. His car giving many problems to him. While overtaking somebody in a housing area, his driveshaft just patah and fall to the ground leaving chunks of metal behind. His interior also squeaks and creeks alot worse than my car. He spent almost rm10k to service the car and it's still not in the best condition since conti parts are expensive as hell if you compare with Proton. How a car handles age depends on how the owner maintains it and IMO since *many* Proton owners aren't that well off so they tend to skimp on repairs and ending up blaming proton on every fault while drivers of more premium T & How brand are more well off and are more than willing to keep their car in the best condition possible.

Hope P1 did learn to make a reliable car. I think most ppl concern is the reliability, wear tear is normal. But things like funny noise sound, loose dashboard, things broken etc...... No prob is I do my service accordingly, change things wear and tear. But I hope the car still in tip top condition after 4 years or plus. Owning a car here is not cheap, moreover a car is like a must. Family could at least 1 or 2 cars. I blame gov for imposing high sale tax for car. I not sure local car did subject to sales tax or not. If can, govt should not tax the local car. If u earn more u afford more, but majority still earn cukup makan. So I also hope to have a cukup bagus car to drive.

Agree. Sounds troublesome when drive uphill. Must maintain rpm above 2k.

Any cvt driver experience like this before?
*
It's maintain speed above 10kmh if on an uphill coz the clutch isn't fully engaged if it's less than 10kmh. Think of the days when you used to drive a manual lol. And don't care what car, if you're climbing up genting, your rpm will definitely be above 2k anyway

only thing need to take note is when passing lorries or busses need to take note coz the draft really can blow the car lol

hmmm. not too sure why is it suppose to be like that or all turbo cars will be having a hot air flowing down to the floor... after i power off the car. Lock the car. the alternator fan will still run for 1 minute or 2 before it auto close it self. is it applicable to all turbo cars? the sales person says all soft turbo got intercooler. this car intercooler is place near the tyre on the left hand side.... is it right or wrong not too sure..i dunno how to check what part what part also. and is bit too noisy if open air cond...inside cannot hear...but outside seems like a very huge fan spinning. can feel the heat outside at the floor. the bonnet also feel so much hotter compare to my normal carburetor car. 1.3 daihatsu charade. of course both is compare after running on the road for more than 30 minutes. both car is warm up 1 or 2 minutes before run.
*
Well yeah the intercooler is located at the left front wheel there. you buka bonnet can see something resembles a mini radiator there. and the fan spinning feature is there even in the normal campro cars(Saga, persona etc) if i'm not mistaken as well.

is it the fan spinning contribute to better air cond and cooling for whole engine? thats why proton got super air cond. i put minimum also fan speed the cold can make my glass got vapour..
*
its used to cool down the engine after it is shut down to preserve the engine if not mistaken. I think the water pump is still operating when the fan is operating. correct me if i'm wrong smile.gif

my 1 year old Waja battery can power my ICE including woofer for mroe than 2 hours before i have to do a push-start, i don't think a few minutes spent turning a fan will deplete the battery laugh.gif
