If it's just an overcrank issue, complain about it to the SC. That's why we have forum discussions like this. The voice of one person isn't enough. There's strength in unity. When enough people have complained, then Proton may do something about it and have the auto-choked reprogrammed. IMHO, 3K rpm in this country is more than a bit silly

Good advice.

Inspira has better power on tap. Car is more willing to move. Not exactly sure which humming you mean. There's 2 types ..

1. CVT whine
   
2. From almost standstill, pedal to the metal causes low rpm drone (this one I hate)

For item (1), I hear Preve's whine is less intrusive because the car has better sound proofing compared to the Inspira. Item (2) appears to be a Campro issue. Inspira shouldnt have that problem.

Don't compare just looks lah. Civic has better engineered engine which gives excellent FC. From what's reported by early reviews, the 2012 Civic is no slouch whereas handling is concerned. I for one do not think Civic owners are morons. Just that in Malaysia, there's no better value for money than Preve.

LOL .. Dont really matter if void or not. When time comes to claim warranty, fulat will unplug the thingy before going to SC.

The red coloured test cars have pronounced sluggishness when moving off from standstill. The cars we're receiving now are more responsive than that. I haven't personally driven an IAFM model yet but one of the early reviews had this to say ...


From published figures for torque (refer below)



The graph suggests that once past 1500 rpms, the CFE easily pulls away from the IAFM. Once past 2000 on a straight road with little obstructing traffic, I don't see how the IAFM has any chance of catching up to it.

+9999


It's a deep bassy low rumble which causes dashboard to shake/rattle. Not 100% sure what's causing it but it's hard not to notice that noise.

I quite agree with what you said. Unless mine gets to a stage where it overcranks every time, I am quite reluctant to allow anyone (this includes even Proton SC staffers) to open my engine's head. Feels like getting

Added on July 11, 2012, 12:28 amHmm .. I too was planning to do SG but judging from your post, I'm starting to have doubts whether the money may be better spent on just normal waxing.

Lol .. you smoke other cars & PDRM smokes you. Same same la. Good to hear IAFM is giving decent FC. That's more in line with real daily usage.

Not sure what you mean to convey. Hopefully, it's NOT to say ESC is useless for our daily usage. Otherwise, you will likely get trolled for lack of basic understanding.

I think we should refrain from making such statements. Nothing to be gained from getting Myvi owners needlessly vexed.

It's unfortunate that not everyone feels responsible for the well being of other road users. I respect your actions.

May be better if you had filmed a short video to show them. With visual aids, it would hard for them to refute it. Btw, what sort of engine oil did you have in there prior to the 5K service? I'm wondering if engine oil viscosity plays a part in this

Ha Ha .. if facelift so fast, then who wants to buy now? Newborn baby like this won't have facelift. Wait till middle age first. You have better chance waiting for a new color to replace red.

Depends where you're driving at? If long distance highway cruising, maybe there's a minute chance that manual may be more thrifty. Otherwise, I think not.

Added on July 12, 2012, 9:42 amThinks when he says 'manual mode', it means paddle shifter & not the 59K model with manual transmission. If that 59K model, then sure jimat. LOL .. price already jimat 13K from the start.

Speaking of which, does anyone here own one of these 59K units? Come to TT lah. Many people want to test your car.

Lol .. only if you let me test drive yours under the exact same conditions

Added on July 12, 2012, 9:56 amGood to hear that it's fixed. Would be ideal if item (1) is confirmed fixed.

lol .. he's hiding from you. Did you look in the toilet stalls?

Do onto others what you would have others do onto you.

Please let us know how it went. Do however note what I said earlier was purely speculative. My other car is a manual and when I tried Preve's paddle shifters under normal driving circumstances, I preferred the smoothness of 'D'.

Think it was this deal. You may need to share the other spring with another person.

Touch wood. It hasn't happened to me yet.

Thanks. I'll use the 'Ignore this user' feature.

Regarding this item, you need to go back to your dealer & not Proton itself.
