Test Drive Preve just now, so here just to share a bit of the impression that Preve gave me.

Sluggishness that everyone talk about - Now i understand that the sluggishness when the car from idle to move. My impression is, the car will still move, its unlike most of the pple describe that its almost stand still until you need to get a lembu pull the car, NO.

So, how to get the car move quickly? Just step on the throttle more, that's it.

Acceleration - brilliant, during my test drive, i'm on a 5km length of speedway, then will do a u-turn under one bridge. Here the impressive thing that Preve gave me is how the car propel forward without any problem, the SA keep on encouraging me to dare dare step on throttle more, because he mentioned i'm driving in a much softer way, he said there are many test-driver who do it 160 - 170km/h, i can't imagine that, and i believe that driveshaft broken Preve that so crazily spread around Facebook definitely is because driver ignorance, because after i finished my test drive then immediately on the road pple drive the Preve and speed on the test drive like no tomorrow. the SA also told me, there was a guy who test drove the car, 80km/h go into the U-turn, the Preve still mange to go through but it also skid a bit, and ridiculous thing is not how fast the car go into the u-turn, it is the test-driver son who sit behind, he just 6 years old.

My wife sit behind, she said the sound is well insulated, because for other car once reaching 120km/h, the radio sound can no longer be heard, but not Preve. She also told me she is a bit "scared" by the car because the sudden surge makes she think that it can lead to unable to control the car properly, probably she need sometimes to get used to turbo car i guess.

Regarding the engine sound, a bit loud, and once the car engine is in 2krpm range, if full throttle, then quite obvious the sound, but who will always step on the throttle fully, somemore everyday? So this not really bother me, and to be honest, i like the sound when turbo kick-in.

One thing to add on, the turbo sound is almost the same as Exora Bold one, I don't find any difference in it...
