Blue Lagoon is the weirdest colour ever. Not because it's ugly, but due to the inability of my camera to get the accurate colour. It's completely blue on my camera, but in reality it's somewhat greenish blue.

i thought i was the only one puzzled .. in real life it does have a shade of green in it

Seriously no underpowered?

Tried Exora Bold CFE many times, never feel any adrenaline rush with Preve.
Doesn't feel any sign of 205Nm in Preve at all, perhaps the gearbox itself?

Anything else is good but not the power though, expected a bit more as compared to Exora Bold CFE as both with CVT gearbox.

yep..i doo hope theres gonna be an ECU update to remap the throttle response..just make it a bit sharper or better than EB

went to see the preve for the 3rd time. the exterior design are quite ok for me but not the rear. interior quite good but the design for the meter cluster
not very impressive. myvi look better than preve. huge boot with impress any people. interior very spacious but the rear head clearance look low for me.  hope proton take a look a the welding point of the door. shoddy worksmanship. 1 unit have chip paint at the welding area. hope its only on
the display unit and not to be delivered to buyer.

but i thought kost of the german makes have their meter clusters more like preves..even polo pn plain one...maybe msians are used to bling2 type of meter tongue.gif

hv u guys read this ?? quite nice review
I managed to test-drive a CFE Preve last Saturday, and here is my opinion:

Exterior:
Looks better in real life. This is maybe because in real life, you are looking at an angle downwards to the car, as opposed to the pictures where you were looking upwards. Some people can say that Proton should have made the car attractive from all angles, but as a Honda fan, I am forced to swallow my pride and say, objectively, that the FD Civic looks flat from the side also, and the rear lights look like a cheap abomination from Altezza.

The Audi-like LED, when viewed during the dusk, is like wow. It makes the silhouette of the car looks menacing enough for people to double-guess and just make way: for a Proton to overtake.

Interior:
The dashboard's design, surprisingly, is not bad also. I can understand the direction: some people like bubbles, Angeline Jolie likes knife.

Colour choice: I've seen worse in Evos, but everybody loves Evos. Just because everybody loves the engine doesn't make the seats less sh*tty.
Seat's headrest reminds me of CRX EG2, which is my favourite. Seat is almost as firm like an BMW E92: which I don't personally prefer: if it's a family car, a 'balik kampung' ride, I want my cushion as thick and slack as performance can allow. Japanese Yakuza-sytle thick or British royal-syle thick, not Scandinavian or German minimalist sh*t. I didn't ask for chrome trims or undercarriage neons. I just appreciate my spine.

But when I stepped out of the car, my head hit the upper door frame. What the f**k. My old EG6 is small but I never hit the door frame ever. Probably the seat height: tall, but the cushion is not thick. So what makes it tall then?

Ride & handling:
Ride is good: you can sit in a BMW F10 and your butt won't be able to tell the difference. Believe me: go sit in a BMW F10, and then find a pothole.

Handling is where this car shines. The car is high, yes, but the handling is still good for such a high car. The only way that this car can get into an accident, like in the viral photo, is that the SA forgot to downshift (maybe he's on the 7th gear hohoho).

Performance:
Performance from standstill is similar to what other people say: sluggish. You need to rev until 2,000rpm before you feel the difference. When the turbo kicks in, hmmm... not bad. I used the S mode, but I feel like the S mode is more suitable for say: auto-cruise touge? Sometimes it holds rev too long. Personally I like to use the paddle shift more: makes me able to choose... when I'm excited. When I'm lazy, S mode or D mode is enough.

Verdict:
A car enthusiast wants a fairly powerful car. If it doesn't have the horsepower, it must have torque. This car has the torque.

A married car enthusiast however, who also happens to works in KL, wants a fairly powerful car that is not a manual, otherwise you go through MRR2 traffic often enough and your knee will become cacat: love your kepala lutut fellas. And, not the traditional auto either. He wants a tiptronic so that he can be Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde when he chooses. And his wife can become Mrs. Jekyll when sending the kids to the nursery.

So what turbo torquey tiptronic family car can you buy in the market? Colt? Not a sedan. Legacy? RM50k more... for a used unit. Evo GTA? A bit harsh for the children.

That leaves you with... Preve?

Brand sentiment? We are mature enough to overcome that, don't we?

ok guys..following ur advice on driving the car before actually signing the agreement my SA called me to drive the car before he registered it with JPJ.

some points to take. The steering wheel was not aligned, a bit to the left i would say, nevertheless could rectify it no biggie. The one consern for me was the brakes. The brakes in the test unit was solid but in 'my' car it was a bit wobbly but makan. So when u are braking the tyres u can feel its shaking a bit (catch my drift?). So i did an emergency braking test. was doing around 90 when i braked really hard till the ESP beeped. The car braked well but it was followed by a loud bang coming from the front left engine bay.

So my SA told me he would send the car back for diagnosis on whats what and rectify the prob. So next moring i would be driving the car again just to see if its ok. If still lemon i said to him i will request for another car tongue.gif and he seemed ok with it as he said it has happened before but not until the point the customer was asking for another car. Was supposed to take the car this evening but i said never mind..take ur time rectify everything.. friday still can deliver (i will nt be around till Friday afternoon).

another thing was wind noise coming for the A pillars if driving above 120 was quit loud.. but that was only at certain times.. even exora bold better and my SA acknowledge it by also saying persona better. He then suggested to us to make a complaint after receiving the car and if its common prpton will make a recall to change the rubber seal at the doors.

owh btw i manged to test the car for 40 minutes. So if u saw a silver preve at seremban and senawang just now it was me tongue.gif .. other than that the car ticks the boxes to become a great car at 73k.
