until now also i dont dare to side parking... not until got three bays side parking is empty then only attempt...also too worry if the other car park at the back of you too near is very hard to maneuver with such a huge butt and long wheelbase.

then u lose out a lot of parking chances. must get use to it...

Lol .. the first time I had to reverse, I was panicky. I turned around and found my view blocked by 2 large C pillars. The 2 rear headrests didn't help. Now a bit better but having a reverse camera will really help.

maybe u need this...

A bit off-topic. Who finds the Preve really tall? When driving, you noticed drivers of other cars to be shorter. Feels likes you're on a MPV. For me, that's kinda good.

if u think the rear are high up... try to adjust your driver seat higher in order for u to have a clear view from the rear mirror.

seriously.. i have no difficulty on reversing... a bit slowly that normal.. but i never fail.

Aiyo...why so many argument about the side mirror. It good if it auto unfold the mirror while you are driving and fold when you have park your car. Sometimes, we can train ourself, each time when we start our car, press a button to unfold it. i don't think is good to change a gear to R or D to get it unfold, sometimes we might park in a very tight parking lot. If it auto unfold, afraid our side mirror will hit on others car.

The fact that the Preve's platform came from Exora may have something to do with it

I just back from Seremban to KL, a tired journey. My car had utilized 300KM after full tank refill last friday night. Latest remaining KM now was 286KM to go before the fuel tank empty. Latest fuel consumption show in ODO was 8.9L/100 KM Average 39KM.

Mirror is only a few inches wide. I'm trying to imagine how close the other car must be. If anyone parked this close to my car, I will be leave a note on his windshield .. . "Next time, please leave a #@* can opener so that I can get my car out."

Some condo parking lot really small and the line "ngam ngam" for one big car like our preve and left 3-4 inchs before the left right parking line. It happened to my mum condo, 1 alphard 1 estima park at next to the car and the car door also hard to open. Incase some of the blinded owner park their car and might accidentally hits your car mirror.

I was thinking that you were only doing 80-120. So those are very good figures. What exactly did the SC do?

With the size of preve, side parking may not be advisable.

i test drive 3 preve premium from different showroom. I found that the engine noise is very loud when accelerating, anyway to solve this issue?

Actually, i have no ideas what they have done. stated in the invoice, they had rectified my power windows noise probs, clear all of the error code diagnosed in the computer and tuning something to fixed for fuel consumption.

About the fuel consumption tuning, i have no ideas what they had tune. But told by the service centre, the car will be good fuel efficiency in the highway drive and fuel consumption in the heavy traffic jam,and normal to all car during traffic jam.

if the guy do to me...ok....he will get what he deserve for his unpolite

day by day i already use to it...park more n u will biasa with it...
still remember the 1st day i parking,,fxxk...wind down side mirror and head out to see

the CAt just erase his error code and check back all setting only... then oredi good in fc..wow

i advice every car should to go sc checking while service...when the CAT diagnotic my car...found many error code also..then they erase all...althought my car no problem with ecu

They sounded so confident. Am wondering if you're the recipient of the new mapping.

just now i start car got a sec of cracking sound...dafuq!!!i already change the owv ma...
i think maybe i start too fast??mayb i in rush,then i enter car,slot in, then start..less that 5 second...

Maybe Preve just not suitable for you. For me, I am quite content with my purchase.

Hi not creating any issues here

and they did the review on the Preve
