I know bro. I did the first page at my home this morning suddenly didn't realize its 8.15 edy.. Need to rush to office. Will correct all that later today. So sorry boss

Haha.. Damn, don't him too much guys..

Good afternoon all sifu here! I'm silent reader since V9. I'm actually looking for a car to replace my current ride, a Dugung provided by my Company. Last yr, about Aug 2011 I dispose off my Wira after getting my Company Car in June 2011. Just merely 3-4 months already regret my decision to accept the Dugung as my ride. Now consider buying Forte 2.0, Preve CFE or PUG 408 and return that Dugung to my Co. My question is, do I still enjoy NCB b/f from my Wira if I bought new car before end of this yr?

so should be before or after 1k service?

i think my SA's driver will be delivering my car from selayang stockyard to showroom in maluri.
so assume the driver will be break-in my engine already...
just hope nothing bad happen to my car during the delivering process.

it's even hard to lock myself especially when see Vios and Civic 1.8 around , you will become naturally light footed.

i think so because this Lowyat - The Fast & The Furious is one of my bookmark in my tablet

Thanks for reply! Valid to 1 yr only... then, I'm really run out of time to get new ride! Need to decide by end of July. Wanna to book Preve went go test drive in April. But the CVT noise and also lagging in pick up hold me back!! Try to observe more in this forum than will go another round test drive b4 final decision is make. Deep in my heart, I like Preve but my home minister prefer Forte 2.0 or even used Camry (budget not more than 100K).

after 1k mileage... if below 1k mileage,im worried if there is some small metal from engine mould that will SCRATCH your piston or other parts in engine... once piston scratch, the HUGE problem just STARTED..beware..haha..

piston is everything..once that part jammed.. OVERHAUL.. finished..

yes u can transfer NCB to your new car

Well...that explains a lot...

the noise from CVT will always be there unfortunately. its not a silent ride for sure. cvt noise is the most obvious from Preve...

But would it reduce after some mileage been done? I remember the test drive unit I drove is less than 1 week car, meter shown less than 1K... my HM comment that the CVT noise is so irritating, therefore didn't get permission to book

i seriously think the break in engine is valid because my car can easily hit 160km/h now compare to last time which is before my first SC.

of course sakit hati when i open my wallet and pump petrol.

Preve more value for money in terms of specs, spare parts, and service.

i did consider forte 2.0, but 2013 new forte , besides current forte now CKD with minor problems. but the 5years warranty and unlimited mileage makes it attractive.

lagging in pick-up, quite subjective, use S-mode, just like duan's wife

if u have bigger budget, and appearance is important in your line of work, then should go for foreign brand.

CVT noise you will get used to it... or get additional insulation...

those test drive cars were initial pre-producation cars... better to test drive actual and latest batch... join prevoc PD, maybe any of the bro here let you test it

My Review
Its a well planned. Planned off-day on last Friday, however due to last minutes confirmation by SA, postpone the collection on Saturday morning. Went there with my wife and kids along backpacks by taxi. Arrived at 8.35am, saw the car...goldie brown...fall in love . Brought together the checklist and two thumbdrives. Then my wife and kids having their breakfast, i'm the only to do the inspection. Everything looks fine, exterior and interior of the car. So far not spotted anything that can make me ask a question.The chassis no. is the same 59**. The SA showed the engine compartment. Mentioning everything about the engine including 5 years warranty for engine and 3 years for some parts.

There were some free gifts (umbrella,key-chain,RM50 petrol and tint voucher) has been given and the standard huddle which is just activated yesterday. Yet I am very satisfied getting the car almost 3 weeks from loan approval date,eventhough this is my 2nd time getting the chassis number after i reject the 1st one due to unavoided matters.
The odometer confirms the car has traveled 10km before delivery which is very acceptable. Then the SA explained certains important things about the car and also the maintenance guides. If want to get details, refer to manual book. First thing after we left the branch,I went to nearby Petronas for Primax 95 full tank (RM72.70). Then we went straight to PLUS highway heading to Melaka Wonderland.

Once shift the lever from 'P' to 'D' with brake released, the car already can move and enough power to cruise at 1500rpm. Within the speed between 80km/hr - 100km/hr in the highway, we explore the interior fittings and accessories, tried plugging in my thumdrive and the audio system works. testing the GPS also works (seems like lokatoo @ WinCe GPS system). Pairing samsung & motorola phones and tablet were successfully without needing a manual . The sound system very good to me compare to my previous waja.The brightness default setting level 3 is acceptable for me to see the meter panel and gear shift. Aircond setting between 25-30 deg, is already good for me. Both power source 120w front and back are covered by plastic 'penutup botol'cork type.

Driving back to Seremban via the old road ( Air Keroh-Alor Gajah-Rembau-Seremban), i tried the 'S' mode in certains places and condition. Its 'superb' and 'syiok', 1st time driving a turbo car..you know how its feel. When i explained the things to my wife and my kids, my son asked me..'macam game need for speed ker? ada nos dan bule keluar api kat ekzos....' I just smile oni . The total journey took me 150km with average fuel consumption 9.1litres/100km on the first day with my preve.

So 3 days olds, so far no 'tak tak tak' sound in cold engine start, no 'gluk gluk gluk' or 'helicopter' orchestra while driving...only whistling or whooing sound at left side front passenger, i think the cvt thingy. This is my review and love it.

maybe u can consider elantra?

Added on June 12, 2012, 1:10 pmnice review bro! congrats!
btw elegant brown still the minority in the club

Yup, do notice new model of Forte will be available in 2013
FYI, my younger brother is driving Forte 1.6, so far very satisfied! I think 5 yrs warranty cover a lots unnecessary worries people may have went consider Kia.

Definitely appearance is not so important in my line of work, if so, my Co won't just provide me dugong as Co car Every day driving Dugung for 2 and half hrs cover from my home to work and back home is torturing My left leg become a bit cacat

Nice one brother! Glad to hear that u liked your car and she didn't give u any problem. Nice review too!

Don't worry valence.. Being in minority means u're in the exclusive club..

1 noticeable different other than the price is rear suspension, Forte is using Torsion beam and Preve is using Multilink, you can feel the different in term of handling, ask your wife to sit at the back and go through bumpy road or pot hole and you will adapt to CVT whining.

But if you have capacity for 120k car better go for Elantra

elantra totally overprice...go for new pug 408t..
