ah okay, that's a pity clarity isn't as good, but it's expected from such stock systems. and i understand they don't have tweeters in the car, i didn't see any in my brief test drive.

where are the speakers all located, in all 4 doors?
*
preve clarity where got no good, k2002 put treble at half of coz no good la... i can hear all the details from the speaker, all the high is nice, at back seat the speaker sound like got woofer behind, at front not much bass.

I think the side mirror should auto unfold when the engine start instead of when the car move at 5km/h. If not when reversing  we have to press button to unfold the side mirror.

I believe it is easy to change and it will only involve software/coding adjustment. How to ask proton to consider this ?
*
I think there is some reason, becos if u parking like left side very close to the wall or any obstacle and u fold the mirror when u park, u won't want it to open and hit the wall, good for some special situation la but I think auto unfold at start engine is more practical tho..

oh, that's good to hear at least someone feels there is clarity to the music. i spend so much time on the road, sound quality is important for me to enjoy my tunes. if there was like, say a light & sound package, i would glad pay for the upgrade option for more speakers and a better sound system.  smile.gif
*
dont worry, the sound quality is good enough that u dont really have to fork out for better speaker for the time being, u might have to fork out alot more to get a better speaker out there lol.. i guess those component set doesnt really sound better, probably just on par. Summore the HU is nice, when u drive very fast, like 100-120 will have little more road and wind noise then the radio will turn volume higher abit, then when u slow down, will tune down again biggrin.gif makes u cannot feel the road noise haha.. at 100-120 most u can hear is some CVT whinning sound, it sound like u are driving an electric motor car, dont know how to explain, i dont really mind that sound tho since it isnt very very loud.. i think not much car can reduce road wind noise around 100-120 anyway, i have an altis at home, it sound nothing better than preve, seriously speaking. Altho it does have better pickup feeling due to torque converter AT gearbox. But i think it is just a feeling, cos i see the speedometer of preve, compare to my myvi, myvi can feel pickup faster, but also around the same kind of speed when launching, 20-30km/h at myvi feel like the car is pecut out, preve same also, 20-30km/h but the car doesnt seems to feel like pecut. So for me, it isnt the car pickup unresponsive, it is just u cant really feel it.

That is why I would DIY for a small problem rather than send to a service center and nothing done, need to come back later, leave car for 1 whole day to find solution/investigate bla..bla.bla...


Added on May 20, 2012, 7:02 pm
speedo 110km/h... gps 105km/h
Always -5km/h on gps at any speed

GPS isnt owes accurate either.. most accurate would be using the police tracker biggrin.gif or speed trap hehe

Went to 3 tyre workshop n ask for alignment n 3 of them say cant do becos preve not in the system yet. In fact when i sent for 1k service i did ask the sc to do it but they say done but when i drive my car immediately i know nothing is done. So can i make another complain again. In fact i make 5 complain, but they only did 2 n the other 3 nothing done but tick on their work sheet done. WTH.
*
fucuk them like u mean it, SC not doing their job and worst is not yet done they say done, they make u looks like a fool, for me i confirm complain them until iCare. Last time my dad go complain the SC on those brake thingy, they rectify abit and now i think they gonna change the disc brake for my car but need to wait proton edar for spare parts, then they give extra 1 full tank lol..

Good morning.

I am the owner of a fire red CFE.

I would like to know if your driver's side wiper is hitting the A pillar when it's wiping at a high speed?

Another thing is are you able to insert the remote key into the key fob slot effortlessly? I usually have to try inserting it twice before the key is latch properly.

Thank you.
*
i think it is becos when u stop the car, u direct pull the key out instead of pressing in and let it pop out smile.gif

I missed close to 40 pages...so I'm gonna skip reading everything.

Guys, as fun as it was to hang out with you guys here, I'm afraid that the percentage of me getting the car has dropped.

Just don't feel it anymore man.

If I do get this car in the end, it will be the last proton I will ever buy. Specs for the car sound good - the delivery and service however...got not much to say there.

I'll be around still. Haven't lost all hope for the car...yet. Just that I really lost the want for the car already.

You guys can go ahead and remove me from the FB group - don't think I'll be active regarding the car anymore.

Fenom, you can still PM me if you need any help regarding the thing we discussed on PM.

Dares, Dhuang, whitelighter, Ben, V12, stargate, dinwaja, torres, valence-kor, izputra, maverick and all you other guys not mentioned here, it was great while it lasted. Very special thanks to mat79 for all the info he shared.

Alas, I lost faith in the company. I'll be around. Just not as active anymore.

*waves* See ya around smile.gif
*
aww lost 1 kaki, thanks for Proton.. proton themselves make their own customer run, we also cannot do anything, too lousy service and sales. Perhaps too many ppl buying the car, image rm75k car got 6k-7k booking in 1 month, which company can really do that.. they just need to buck up their sales, service and QA/QC. The active headrest is little too active that if no passenger, it will shaking abit and produce some sound zzz..

Dude, my A6 is out of commission, which leaves me with my zaman high school iswara (which supposed to let my staff drive, but in the end, I have to take it back laugh.gif). The car is good for what you pay for...but for everything else? Damn sad liao.

So like dhuang, I can literally feel butthurt when driving that car (suspension sends her regards).

I think I'll come la. Would be fun to see you guys irl biggrin.gif
I'm not an aggressive driver la. Come lemme drive. I might be re-poisoned if I do. Vroom vroommmmm! tongue.gif
My staff outside think I'm crazy now. No phone call, no conversation and suddenly bursting into laughter laugh.gif
What to do. They haven't lost me entirely...yet. See la how. Just that now beh tahan dy.
Is that not advisable? I thought a lot of people do that?

patience is virtue ma biggrin.gif u get a nice car to drive, car is 75k thingy, not few thousands, can wait one biggrin.gif (i only know how to say ppl, no mouth say myself tongue.gif ) U can vent frustration at here, there is alot of times i wan give up and buy 1 myvi or forte or elantra edi if my dad wan support me, but i didnt, 75k for such a car worth it la, altho got some minor minor problem, but u pay rm75k for all those thingy, if slap on toyota or honda logo confirm 100k+ at least.. even slap on naza logo they confirm will sell 90k at least one..

the whistling noise should be normal for CVT, no? cos mine also got whistling sound starting from 80 or around 100km/h, bro, if u service u car, and solve those problem, do help us by ask ur SC what did they do to solve those problem, cos we can ask our SC to do the same to solve those problem we have. Anyone who did solve their car problem do ask the mechanic what they do ya biggrin.gif sharing is caring biggrin.gif
