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.

ok...my 6 days old CFE being drived 200k city drive + 700km highway kl <--> jb..usually drive in manual mode...current avg fc is 9.4l/100km

found:
1. whenever my car at N or P but engine still on...y the car like shake a bit shake a bit...feeling like pulse or heartbeat like that...like car's heart is beating...

2. how to differentiate cvt whining sound sound and wind sound...my car when reach 110 or 120km/h got a found appear...but not sure what sound is that...i suspect most probably is wind sound...

3. how to determine wind sound is from which pillar? I think my car RHS wind sound coming from A or B or Both pillar, and LHS like from A pillar..

4. how to determine wind sound is from C pillar?

5. whenever motorbike or vehicle tat produce loud noise pass by...I can hear them clearly...so the sound proof of the car like not very good...

4. how to determine wind sound is from C pillar? U can ask somebody sit at the back seat near the door or pillar,whether can hear the wind noise or not

Tq for the info. but does preve executive also got this S mode? There's no preve executive in the showroom.

I'd like to know:
- acceleration response, example when masuk roundabout.
- steering response. my old vios steering response in too week.
- real life fc of preve executive in average. is it lower than stated, tolerable or far higher?

Just want to be sure...already fix on preve, but still consider either iafm+ cvt or cfe cvt version. Sometime, the comment i read based on different standard. Since old vios is my current car, i'd like to compare them. Is it far better?(as it seems to me, but not sure).

Vios can't compare with Preve at all. I owned a 2005 Vios before n this is my view:
1. Size totally incomparable
2. Rida and handling totally incomparable
3. Vios FC is better cause it's a much lighter car, where else Preve is a much more stable car in high speed.

My conclusion Preve is a good replacement for your Vios.

Answer to your question

1) You would probably notice some sluggishness at first when driving Preve but bear in mind that the engine was tuned for fuel efficiency. If you want to accelerate just floor the pedal. So far i have no problem driving the car in congested road. Just worried that stupid motorcyclist will scratch my beloved Preve. sad.gif

2) Steering response, for me personally just right because it uses hydraulic rather electronic assisted. Does not feel too light or too heavy just nice.

3) FC, if you are too heavy in flooring the pedal, you can have good FC. The FC will improve after 1st 1000km service.

4) Extra point, cannot compare Vios with Preve because different segment class. Even if you compare Vios with Saga FLX, Saga still wins. However, if you insist Vios build quality and brand is better, that is another matter altogether. whistling.gif

Tq for the info. notworthy.gif Hope it will be the same with preve exec cvt. The guy at proton told me that red color will be discontinued, not much demand for that color. doh.gif Seems like i just have to go with white one. I planned to test drive preve exec cvt, but they dont have the test drive unit for that variant. Any preve exec cvt in kuching? want to test drive. biggrin.gif
