SA call me that my car is ready for collection but can only do it 2moro becos showroom is close for labour day, as stated earlier i am suppose to get it on 27/4/12 but was postpone, but the answer he gave me for the delay was a bit of nonsense like, they r doing the ecu remap n engine mounting, but i dont hear anyone from lwn forum that their sa is telling them the same reason except mine only. He is making me like a fool or what, if its really remap i will test 2moro n will know if not i am going to f the sa kaw2 for making excuses.

QUOTE(thtan @ May 1 2012, 10:20 AM) Hi all, the unit u tried is the early batch that still no re-tuned ecuI have tested the Preve and the Inspira. I find the initial sluggishness a bit disturbing for me. Other than that, the preve is not that bad. Inspira is much nicer to drive (even the 1.8CVT) because the torque and power deliver is smoother, no initial lag... Those who can afford the Inspira, I would strongly recommend it due to better driving experience. Also the Inspira comes with Continental CC5, great set of tyres... test drive again & insists on re-tuned-ecu unit,as turbo will be activated early(1000-1500) instead of 2000 Added on May 1, 2012, 12:43 pmthe re-tunes ecu unit,of coz had address the initial lag issue This post has been edited by e36.hartge: May 1 2012, 01:00 PM |

Last test drive was in Glenmarie. A new test drive unit baru sampai. This post has been edited by e36.hartge: May 1 2012, 12:55 PMThe thing is, this new car behaves differently than the one in glenmarie. Seems like the power are delivered at a lower RPM than Before. Sluggishness wasnt there like the previous car i drove. Acceleration from stand still has drastically increased! Did proton ever said anything about retuning their preves? Its feels very very different indeed. Might consider the SE when it comes out. |

erm, already mentioned earlier that many of the units in showroom are pre prod one. for the time being, not heard any flash tinggy, maybe just because pre prod is around 90% of actual, but the diff is minimal though. If there is any, coz its not involve safety reason, normally they will do the reflash when sending car for 1st service.
The only thing i remember n know is when flx launch, some cars already handed to customer, and then punch issue to call back all cars n halting the production coz need to change the cvt oil pump. I think its nearly a month due, n many complaints on the lateness. It just upon punch(oem) inspection, there may be some faulty on cvt oil pump supply by their supplier(punch supplier), due to that reason, all things being halt, even cars that on the delivery being call back to rectify that issue. Other than that, dunno. Coz neverheard any exercise on production of preve. Maybe shud wait the review of production cars by autocar asean, asian auto, topgear malaysia n etc(shud be next comin month),compare to preproduction one they test before coz what they are testing in club med are the production unit. Maybe their 'professional' oppinion on the performance n etc shud be counted also coz they have driven so many cars, 2.0 na cars n even 4.8 v8 car. May need to take note whether it is as one mentioned even bad than 1.6 na, n saying maybe those who never drive 2.0 na will feel joy, those who already drive 2.0 na will say just terrible(dunno also coz during preproduction unit review, they also mentioned pwr as 2.0 na, never mentioned cfe is underperformed, even 1.6 na can better it, but who knows maybe the review given by journos that never driven 2.0 na cars before) since some already send the car to 1st service, (about magnetrap, its optional, if dont want, dont include it, same as x1r, ask with service advisor about the list, n just take a common one only), why not asked them is there any big diff after service on throttle sensitivity. |

about the magnetrap,
Both the pistons and the engine block, which creates the particles due to abrasion caused by the pistons vigorously rubbing up and down the bores, are made of ALUMINUM ALLOY. A Q U E S T I O N ... Since when aluminum can be ATTRACTED by magnets? D O N ' T B E L I E V E? Use a magnet and try to stick it to the engine block. |
