test drive the car twice from different proton edars. first try was at Jln Sultan Ahmad Shah and the recent Sg Tiram branch.

Sorry to say but about the feedback about the sluggishness, it seems to be true. I'm using pug 308 turbo as a baseline for my comparison. Tried to floor down the paddle (at D mode) 1K-2K rpm, respond was slow and then at 2K the turbo kicks in. Could be CVT characteristics? Maybe proton need to tweak it to be responsive enough @ 1K-2K rpm on D mode.

Overall the car is good buy! Interior quality, it is very hard to explain, I don't get the quality vibe compared to Vios or City.

However, if you can live with the cons (proton's QC and SC) and your affordability is 73K range. Preve is a good family sedan car compared to the outdated Vios J.

Well, I still don't know why ppl still buying Vios even though it is very outdated. I guess it is branding, overall reliability and best SC.

Cheers! my 2 cents!
