Just now i chiong with a VW car, becos he suddenly pickup while i come out from junction, then i pick up from junction also. Then he follow my ass but not very near, cos not straight road i show the paddle shift power, lower gear while turning and speed up very fast biggrin.gif then until climb hill, tis show preve power, he was on my right and he totally cannot catch up, smell my smoke only, until at a traffic light. But pickup i lose la, where can win Golf with 4 ppl in the car, around 70kg average lol, then is downhill already so i don wan play with him, uphill win enuf edi biggrin.gif Then my friend 1st time seat in my car say wan me try see the power, then he say drive 0-100km/h see how fast, that time already start chiong with golf, he was seating at the back, and he saw the meter already 100km/h, he say, wah, already 100km/h cannot feel lol... smile.gif My conclusion is, the car once it is moving, even a little bit, it is a beast biggrin.gif And, very stable.. My fren ask me why 75k don wan buy vios, i say vios inside nothing, why i wan buy? I say preve alot safety features, but he say can u trust proton, i say u wan try? i can do a corner u-turn 80km/h, he say nvm biggrin.gif lol.. i just say, i only have 75k MAX, preve is the best car i can get at that price range, other than that would be myvi or persona which is cheaper. If i got more i will buy kia forte biggrin.gif

i do not have valid answer to that but heard is proton having issue with red color code(uneven color on the body). while my fren jkly said red color paint more expansive  biggrin.gif
i choose to join the blue lagoon family  smile.gif ...if u want to get ur car faster than i think any color will do...
How I choose blue:
1. white -lazy maintain
2. black -panas
3. silver -common color
4. brown -'uncle' color
5. blue -acceptable (same as my blood color)
(above are my own preference only, pls dun shoot me  sweat.gif )

Well, he's talking bout there is a cut off at high rpm to protect the cvt n engine so no point revving high, also those ppl who said their car got burn metal smell after a long drive, it could be the Catalyst cooking, still new.

Bout reversing got jet engine sound, it's cvt planetary gear set rotating

So far this is what I got, they got a big gang as well, maybe one day we can reunite

Basically it's lil bit extra of what kristoff told us, if you got question bout the cvt I can help u ask
*
then is cvt whining sound normal when u lift pedal off at 20-30km/h or normally u slow down from tat speed to zero will have tat sound.. then aeroplane whistle sound when hit 60-80km/h, but i notice the aeroplane sound will muted if u drive above 110-120, maybe engine sound cover, but i dont really think so. Cos my dad say cannot accept got such a sound, it sound like the CVT transmission got problem.

that y some say preve level is almost as camry.. but just becoz its 1.6 and with tiger logo some more is cheaper than vios type j, so some stupid malaysian though is cheap unreliable car ..
*
Preve is NOT almost as Camry level seriously speaking, fitting and plastic quality wise, lose to Altis. Even the engine is not as refined as altis, i can say it is better than Vios, probably 1 small step below Altis. THe plastic they use is just too thin, which made them squeaky and easily bend, felt like very low quality, especially on the dash and the door, where u press it the whole plastic will bend, not soft-touch where it will sink in, it will sink in and the plastic will bend in together, tis is becos plastic is too thin. U can touch Altis plastic and it is very firm, hard and solid. The next thing is the CVT engine, the sluggish pickup of the car, made my dad so disappointed in the car, he said CVT sound when u lift pedal fiuuuu tat sound is like his 20yrs ago mitsubushi rear wheel drive lancer, which that will caused big problem to the gearbox later on, which he say they need some special gearbox fluid to minimize the sound.

For me, i dont have much issue becos i can live with the CVT sound, but for them, they say if CVT got such sound, then it seems like a failure, why normal GB, even wira 15yrs old also no such sound, but new Preve got. So he owes go proton SC complain, the C-pillar sound the SC tell me is what road tyre noise, i was like WTF. if i off the radio, i heard wind noise coming from front, if i open radio then it is covered by the radio sound. I dont know whether other car got tis problem or not, but i told them rubber problem they din say anything, maybe next time when my disc brake rotor come i will fucuk them for sure. Did anyone got their C-pillar or any rubber changed?

Q :gluk gluk sound, what are the root cause?
A: CAT dunno, cannot find the root cause, they need to call vendor
Q:is my car safe to drive?
A: sure, if not safe we will hold your car.

if you dunno the root cause how can you say my car safe to drive, it's not rattling noise rclxub.gif
*
if is my dad, sure fucuk them until their father and mother that they gonna fix the sound by hook or by crook. Wtf is cannot find root cause. They say safe, then ask them go lawyer firm with u, sign agreement say the car is safe to drive, if anything happen, proton is liable and sue until their ass drop. If they cannot, means the car is TOTALLY NOT SAFE to drive. This is what my dad said to the SC when they say the brake helicopter sound, which i think might be the gluk gluk sound they cannot fix but they said is safe to drive.
