1.  what is your RPM while your car idle at P and N?

2.  CVT sound is like airplane sound.. its always consistent, windows sound changing all the time.. and intermediate off and on.

4.  sit at back seat u can hear it clearly... but if u off your HU and check your tyre pressure to 32-34psi... u should be able to heard it even u are driving. and it mostly happen after 80km/h and above.

5.  good mah can hear got a motor coming your way so u get extra precaution... its not safe driving out there anymore.  smile.gif

It is effortless driving, you will not feel that the car have reached 100km/h after a few seconds. It is that good. Ride and handling is superb. You can tackle corners with confidence because there is no body roll. If you drive on uneven roads, you cannot feel it because the multilink suspension cushions it.

Preve has D and S mode. D mode for conventional driving. S mode for people who thirst for speed.

A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is a transmission that can change steplessly through an infinite number of effective gear ratios between maximum and minimum values. It provides better fuel economy as it allows the engine to run at its most efficient revolutions per minute for a range of vehicle speed.

That is my layman understanding of CVT as taken from wikipedia.

its not exactly effortless. you can still hear the engine growl a little to get to that speed.

body roll to me is more prominent compare to my previous waja due to the more stiffer chassis paired with the soft suspension. i will be looking to maybe add a thicker anti rollbar

I think either Tkaira ada kabel kat ecotint seremban or they discovered that it is better to charge for the black tint.

Do you have a battery cover? Or did Proton remove all the covers for later batches?

HI BartS..  Congrates bro.. finally ur car is arriving.. I still havent gotten my chasis number.. No point calling icare without the chasis number right?

Maybe more effective to call your SA. If I were to do that, I will first ask these questions ..

1) Is there anything wrong with my booking?

2) Are there any issues with my bank loan?

3) How long since I booked?

4) Based on the answers he gives for questions #1 - #3, and since other people are already getting their Preves, ask your SA if it's fair for you to ask him/her ... "where the fucuk is mine?" tongue.gif

My car kena de-virginize already finally on sunday. Some idiot mofo tried to park behind my car and failed. He try to squeeze into the small space behind my back and scrape my rear bumper. Now got a black mark there about 1 foot long in the middle.

There is two long line of chipped pain at the top and bottom of the bumper. Other minor scrap in the middle making the paint rough also. I think im just going to leave it be. Too lazy to go fix it. Too expensive to keep correcting other ppl mistake and also i need to sent SG again once re-painted. Waste time nia.

Sien with KL drivers. Kena twice already at this place. This is the 3rd time someone scrape my bumper in KL and also kena once my waja ppl scratch it at PJ. f*** what is wrong with all this ppl la wei... lesen kopi vmad.gif

Booking No problem.. She told previously there was a problem with the parts from vendor so delay. After that she informed due to the queue waiting before me is long snd silver will take time.


2) Are there any issues with my bank loan?

No problem with bank loan. Loan is approved.

3) How long since I booked?

Well, tell her others are getting their Silvers now.

Personally, I booked on 8th May. In between then & now, I got offered different colors .. Brown, Blue, Red and even White. If I had taken up any of those offers, I would have gotten my car weeks ago. The waiting was bad but I didn't see hordes of people reporting their Silvers are ready collection; so patiently I wait. Now the wait is almost over; am getting my car this week.

Funny thing was that when I rejected Uncle Brown earlier, I haven't seen one of them up close. Now a bit regret. Brown does look elegant. Silver while evergreen looks like almost Tom, D1ck & Harry on the road. biggrin.gif
