I got my black Preve (CFE) yesterday (14/5/2012). Booked during Power of 1 event (last day). I got it from Crystal showroom (HICOM).

1. The car is much much better than the testdrive unit

2. No lagging (very less lagging), the car start to move fast at about 1,500 rpm

3. I'm comfortable with all the features since similar with my previous merc E240.
- the autolight
- the autorain sensor
- the followme home light
- the auto up/down window
- the changing signal (flick the indicator)
- the remote boot

4. Engine sound higher than the Merc E240 (as expected) but not that much. I test with soundmeter (android), the merce is about 65db - 67db, the preve is about 66db - 68db... and my wife saga is about 68db-71db

5. First time driving CVT...and now I understand what does it mean by effortless driving. The car reach at 120km/h so easily.

6. Nice feeling when there are not many preves on the road. People even give me thumbs up when I was on KESAS yesterday.

7. Quite spacious but not as big as Merc E240 (as expected since different segment).

8. Pairing with Xperia Arc very nice... phonebook copied quite fast.

8. Problem....so far only I can hear wind noise from the back (around C pillar) on the left side. This is not happening in the testdrive unit.

Will post pictures later...since having problem with my dropbox.
*
good for you..as for the c pillar? i'm also facing this and proton is finding the cause of it.. seems it will be sometime before a solution comes up..btw my one way valve problem already settled thumbup.gif

tkaira, did you leave you car at the SC for few days in regard of the one way valve problem ?

They ask me to do that  icon_question.gif
*
yep... a few days sweat.gif ..actually it was only yesterday i took the car..1 week at SC due to the door latch lock prob+ one way valve ..the c pillar? at my SC got 7 cars having same problem ..SC already rclxub.gif .. they sent a car to tanjung malim for analysis

edit: door lock took 3days to settle due to the need to order the part.. one way valve i believe will take at most 3 days..fastest would be 2 days

Do remember that our rain sensor is so huge. If apply the black colour tint, may not be nice.

Bro Junn & Tkaira,

Which ecotint outlet that you have went to put the sunshade? Mind to share?

i went to ecotint seremban tongue.gif

Agreed. But according to bro CKK a while ago, the winscreen's tint was not put with the one on the side is due to JPJ regulation. Well, if we change it to darker one (which I myself prefer), I don't think it will affect the four. Nonetheless if somebody can confirm that all 6 pieces of the tint on Preve is actually all covered by Eco Tint, than that would be another story.

yep..all 6 by ecotint..but front and back diff spec from sides...

It's a borg warner low boost turbo, and yea it's made in China, you'll be surprised how many things are made in china nowadays.

As long as the QC doesn't compromised, i guess it's ok

Talking about the wind noise at c pillar screen (mine at left side), I went to the service center today, their mechanics check around the door and he found the wind noise might come from the c pillar screen (small screen), because the rubber on that part is look messy. But he want to confirm with their service advisor for warranty claim before they repair it. Need to come back tomorrow (their service advisor EL today).

However, I DIY to detect where actually the sound comes from . I paste a clay at the both upper corner rubber of the small screen area. Yes, the wind noise disappears.

Tomorrow or within this week I will go back to service center, ask them to replace the rubber.

Great!! i will go and do mine also rclxms.gif

below 2k sure can move, auto car ma. gliding la. if want pickup need rev until 1.5k or 2k rpm.
i feel like when going downhill, the gear braking very "tight". dunno how to explain. is like the engine revving at 1st gear (if manual car). almost dont need apply brake.
and also, 80km/h just at 1.5k when cruising. my old HERO 90km/h already 3k.
i guess 1 sentence to sum up my driving experience so far: its like driving manual car automatically.
*
Yep second that and i think its great.. i drive a manual car also so the cvt acting like a manual is sure a bonus biggrin.gif

I think they design the car to be fuel efficient hence sluggish start but did not expect that majority cannot accept. Well, remap the ecu. As for other problems, just launching a new product bound to have small issues because test environment and real environment is different. In addition, most of the people working in the project is too close to the project already and cannot detect all the issues that come out later.
*
yep..its also normal for other car manufacturers.. the only reason we dont see this is because by the time the car is launched here the car manufacturer has already ironed out the issues ..im also hoping for an ecu remap..the sluggishness is not an issue but i would like to have better throttle response

do they call us for the recalled or just senyap2 only do during our 1st service.?
*
that one not sure..need to ask EB users.. ia sked why proton did not inform the customers why the cars are having late delivery due to recall.. he said because people will hentam proton say car not out yet got problem which most of the public doesnt know that other manufacturers also face the same probs for 1st batch like my friends forte..his forte 1st batch got prob but 2nd batch far better... so form telling baik senyap ...

my SA also said protn is fully aware of the customer complaints and is working hard to rectify them.. compared to tengku mahalel era where proton knows got problem but he said "screw the customers, just send the faulty car,later can come back to SC" i was like doh.gif sweat.gif
