Just beware ok for those test top speed...

What we heard... if drive above 200kmh, speed trap cannot detect the speed...
The reality is....... even we drive 300kmh, still police can snap the speed within 3 second..

What we heard... if use hi beam all the way during we cruise with high speed, police kenot snap the speed..
The reality is....... rear vehicle got hi beam?

What we heard... GPS help to detect speed trap location
The reality is....... but when cruise say at 140kmh, once GPS alarm the location already passing by....so what purpose? hmm.gif

Idiots like him can't even see that the Vios is in same segment as Saga and Myvi, and even a RM50k Saga out-specs a RM75k dugong.

You tell him, he wants to compare? at least compare to a Forte. It'll make him look less stupid. Oh wait, Forte 1.6 is at least RM10k more expensive (but still better than a G-spec Dugong) . Toyota C-seg? Altis is at RM100k cheapest. Dugong vs. Preve, HAH!!

Sorry, even if he's your friend.


I concede. I forgot the VeJayjay Vios J is a god car.

They always praise Vios like its a God Car , God Brand whistling.gif
QUOTE(godthum @ Jun 24 2012, 01:22 PM)
Ask all the Vios= GOD car owners to experience Preve themselves. Sit in the car and also drive it, tell them to comment after that...i can only say i'm very impress with my Preve.
They might be too shy to admit the car is very good and will just said it is still POTONG, not T or H branded car...
All my friend who asked me why not buy Vios, why buy Potong, lousy brand la...
After i get my car and fetch them around, all feedback are very good, all are full with praises...
But i do try to response back in a conservative way, i said "still POTONG mah, not sure later got QC or reliability issue or not, but it comes with 5 years warranty now, that's why i bought it..." haha...

just test drove preve today! it was the first batch of preve..

serious sluggish problem.. wind noise at the C pillar was terrible >.<

and it has the ovw problem.. "krek" sound from the first start..

i was able to test it on highway.. able to hit 150 easily.. the car was so stable and i dont really feel like i am cruising at such high speed! good!

other than the few problems.. preve is a good car..

just a question.. is the latest batch still has the problems that i mentioned?

members pls kindly update me.. the thread was moving too fast.. cant keep up >.< thx in advanced!

Not sure about others but for my batch CN 58xx, I don't really feel the sluggish..Tuned to be better i think.... Wind Noise , Yes it's still there...But can be solved by sending to SC. The "krek" sound only happened once for me. After that for many days been driving, the problem didnt occur again

Mine is 57XX. Yes U do feel it is a bit sluggish moving from a standing still compared to a normal torque converter AT. You can press harder on the accelerator but it won't be very smooth. It think that is simply the behaviour of the wet clutch CVT.

After using the car 2 week I simply "recalibrated" my right foot. I can now take off fairly quickly and smoothly. I haven't even done my 1st 1000km service. No ECU retune done.

So do not worry. The 1st time you encounter the "sluggishness" it might be very uncomfortable, but you will get used to it.

Regards.

A simple reverse cam won't cost RM2k la. at most a few hundred bucks.

My suggestion: inquire if it's possible to install Exora's reverse cam and the rear view mirror integrated with the display.

Otherwise, just install a 3G enabled cameraphone in the rear thumbup.gif

Just beware ok for those test top speed...

What we heard... if drive above 200kmh, speed trap cannot detect the speed...
The reality is....... even we drive 300kmh, still police can snap the speed within 3 second..

What we heard... if use hi beam all the way during we cruise with high speed, police kenot snap the speed..
The reality is....... rear vehicle got hi beam?

What we heard... GPS help to detect speed trap location
The reality is....... but when cruise say at 140kmh, once GPS alarm the location already passing by....so what purpose?  hmm.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.

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...

- 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).

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

Bro,

The guy in Proton is trolling you, not because red colour not in demand but got paint problem and cannot resolve hence discontinue. Sounds more pleasing to customer isn't it? There is Mr ben3003 and i think if i am not mistaken that drives a Preve cvt, he stays in kuching but i think he is overseas at the moment.

I dont think there's any preve exec for test drive. If you're lucky only show unit. Not much different in term of appearence.

preve exec have S mode. more like an overdrive to boost acceleration.

- acceleration response, example when masuk roundabout.
acceleration is not good when u start from stationary coz is quite a heavy car, u might want to get used to it. when it moves it can accelerate fast especially when you change to S mode and rpm at 2700-3200 rpm. for starters maybe want to use S mode in roundabout. for me always D mode.


- steering response. my old vios steering response in too week.
not sure what u mean by steering response. the NVH is good. u have to test drive the CFE unit (showroom unit) coz the feeling/handling is about the same. As you are not a very fast driver. exec also uses multilink suspension and equipt with ABS and ESC. You can cruise in confidence at 140-160kmh.

- real life fc of preve executive in average. is it lower than stated, tolerable or far higher?
my average FC is (1 liter/10-12km)

in term of engine reliability, i think should be okay cause it siblings are the as saga FLx. therefore many bug have been fix. ours is iafm+ cvt, have the '+' there.

salam! helo to all

juz want to ask...

1) can i use petronas syntium 800 SM 10W-40 4.0L to replace petronas syntium 800 SL 10W-30? coz during my 1st svc they use syntium 800 SL 10W-30 but have to buy 2 bottle (3.0L & 1.0L)...more expensive instead of using 1 bottle syntium 800 SM 10W-40 4.0L only...

2) are semi synthetic oil sutable for 10K service interval? or i must use fully syn oil only for 10K svc interval?

tq guyz!

i am more concern over going down hill. when going down hill in D mode if u press the pedal it move faster. but if u dont press the pedal your engine will make a huge noise.

what i normally do now i turn the gear to N and use brake to reduce the force.

Don't shift to N, that noise is just engine braking, it is perfectly normal. Use engine braking in conjuction with normal foot braking to safely descend slopes.

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...

anyone face the issue 1 too?

Try ecotint, you can actually get it for free but not sure all ecotint shop does this. If anything, it is not too expensive to add top tint.

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

Waah, long time no see ppl speak of this.

Went to Ecotint HQ in Taipan BC when I did my SG last 2-3 weeks. The staff there confirmed that no such free black stripe for Preve. Donno how some of us got it for free.

Well, I did mine at Ah Beng shop, got RM10 for 10" one. Huhuhu

i am more concern over going down hill. when going down hill in D mode if u press the pedal it move faster. but if u dont press the pedal your engine will make a huge noise.

what i normally do now i turn the gear to N and use brake to reduce the force.
*
when going uphill, use low gear... when going downhill also use low gear..
low gear of course sound very hard...but is is for safety purpose...

i read exora forum once its launch, the first batch owner said engine got problem already..hehe..
but lately, everybody accept it is safety features.. malaysian maa..what can we expect?

when volvo introduce new safety features..wowww.. volvo for life..
when local manufactures introduce safety features...damn, i hate that, look at T, H, K, bla bla bla..
hehe..

yup...maybe can save brake pad and tyre thread too hmm.gif

Shifting to 2nd gear will still give you that lound engine whine lol.

Anyway, engine braking when downhill is a safety feature, that's why from Genting you see all those signboards telling you to shift to lower gear. If you coming downhill in N and rely only on the brakes, your brake pads may suffer brake fade after frequent heavy braking.

If your engine whine gets too loud, use brakes to assist slowing down the car.

Why driving schools never teach engine braking huh? hmm.gif hmm.gif

You learn driving in manual car ma right? just shift to lower gear ma got engine braking lor.

Auto cars should automatically downshift when going downhill, like our CVT. It's normal. The only exception I know is the Persona that does not do that.

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.

Salam
*
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

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.

1) Is there anything wrong with my booking?
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?

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

I already asked those quest,

1) Is there anything wrong with my booking?
    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.

I will wait for this week and see hows the progress..
*
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

Sometimes nicknamed "clear bra" or "chip guard" 3M VentureShield can be professionally installed on rocker panels, mirror backs, full hoods and more because our film comes in 60" widths.

Hi,
Any using Preve Executive CVT? How is it? I couldnt find any review on Preve Executive CVT. How is it compared to old vios? I own vios 06 FL type E. I'm planning to change to Preve Exec CVT...I can see it is really really spacious than my vios (i see it in the showroom)..
*
Not going to talk about Vios but gonna quote an unflattering section from an automotive magazine.

QUOTE
That engine likes to to remind the driver of it's Campro origins. It's not exactly silky smooth at idle, rumbustious under acceleration, and drones with with whinny overtone around town on a light-to-medium throttle. It fails to deliver that low-rev-turbo shove we're all gotten used to with European downsized engines, instead metering out just enough pace that it never actually feels slow. The Preve deserves a bit of zing, and the turbocharged CFE barely provides it while the standard IAFM+ certainly doesn't.

Even when paired to a manual gearbox, the naturally aspirated Preve feels so tardy and lifeless that you're always aware of the small 1.6-liter engine up front trying very very hard to move a big car. 
What I'm saying is that don't expect certain things from the Preve - silky smooth engine or sports car like performance. Preve is not that sort of car. Don't get me wrong. Preve's athletic but if you are seriously considering this car, do it for the right reasons:

* Price - Lol .. who doesn't care about money? Preve is certainly astounding value for money.

* Size does matter. Though not a Godzilla, there's plenty of space all-round. This would make your in-laws happy.

* Comfort - It's big enough & NVH levels are comfortable. Plenty of other creature comforts included like
  • Decent/Acceptable sound system
  • Auto climate controls for air-cond
  • Built in GPS
  • Auto headlights
  • Auto rain sensor for the wipers.
* Safety - This part is important to me. I enjoy driving as much as I enjoy continuing to live. Maybe I have grown matured enough to appreciate the lives of my loved ones. Death by accident is a terrible way to end. This car has a strong enough structure. Also has added safety features sorely missing in other more expensive models.
  • RESS
  • 4 airbags
  • ESC
  • Traction control
  • ABS
  • Electronic brake distribution
So what's the price for this car - RM 59,540 - 72, 990 + the stigma of owning a local brand. (Have to put up with the ribbing from friends about not purchasing an imported car) tongue.gif

I agree. Do not expect sports car like performance & handling or refinement the likes of Accord or Camry.

Manage your expectations and you will love the Preve. I know I do.

Comparing accord or camry with preve is like comparing apple with orange. Not fair. Overall satisfied with the car but note of the minor qc issues and car size. If can accept not problem for you.

No the windows do not stop halfway, it will continue to hit the object eg yr hand, then I believe that there is a sensor that detect the motor movement. When it slow down, it auto hit reverse. My 2 sen only. I tried with my hand at the driver side window.

My wife's toyota Rush also like that, but not so obvious. Preve door trim movement is more, but i think it is not critical.

I went to my regular tire shop and got my alignment done (since it hit 1.6K KM before the 1st weeK sad.gif ). It was also drifting to the left before alignment. And the guy also told me the camber on the left wheel is a little 'off'. Seems like a common problem all... unsure.gif
Anyway, more worrying is how all my wheels seem a little wobbly sad.gif It was visible when he was finish-balancing. If it were just 1 wheel, the I would be able to accept that I might have hit a pot-hole a little violently. But 2? And there were no scratch marks or anything to indicate I hit anything. Wondering if anyone else spotted similar issues? unsure.gif

many of us having the same issue where the steering tend to steer to left. I never even hit anything to be exact. So i conclude this as factory fault based on my own theory.

Alignment and camber still not as bad-lah... can be fixed. At best we can petition and get PROTON to do it for free tongue.gif

Agreed with the fact that it's a "factory fault based"

But I don't agree with why the hell Proton charged us when we go & do allignment with them after 1k ODO mad.gif It should be free since even if it's 2000km the car still new maa..

I couldn't make it before 1000KM because I was in the middle of a journey to Ipoh from Malacca, on an emergency, at night. What was i supposed to do? Service @ 500KM? Or stop the car in the middle of my journey and get it towed to the nearest service center to be serviced the next day? blink.gif

do you know how long it takes for them just to spray the bumper? how long i need to leave the car there?

2 days better..

before spray they touch up little bit....put cement everywhere they think not smooth...
then spray 1st layer..wait until dry.....if not good then touch up again..
then spray the real layer..wait until dry... let it dry properly, then after dry, they polish the car...after polish they do free car wash.. rclxm9.gif

if take the car too early and it do not dry properly, next morning there is dot dot (bubble) everywhere...... then need to polish again...

p/s : but plis dont leave anything important in your car...

many of us having the same issue where the steering tend to steer to left. I never even hit anything to be exact. So i conclude this as factory fault based on my own theory.

luckily mine not going anywhere to left or right. mine is good. test on straight road. straight road. flat road. hilly one up and down straight when i take off my hand for more than 5 to 8 sec it still straight. so i am bit lucky i think hopefully no kena pothole....if suddenly and dont have enough time to brake or steer to the side i think still kena...but must look infront very far in order to prevent this from happen.

i think better drop by there to make appointment with them tomorrow, so that they can allocate more CATs to go there to have a look to our car issues this friday.

Since, they are coming friday, why don't they send more ppl to check one shots. Instead of travel so many times at the same location?

Hi,

My loan has just approved last week. Can't wait to get the car but still have to wait. No chassis no yet...

On the other hand, has anyone try sound proofing to numb out the CVT whining noise? and possible to share the experience?

hey Preve premium owners, please share about the ACTUAL fuel consumption for this car. Thinking of getting 1 and is it comfortable to long distance driving? like 100km ++ per day?

It's 73K and not RM73.00. If there's even a tinge of doubt, don't commit yet. I expect the longer you wait, the more likely the initial bugs will get ironed out.

which bank? if you remember there will be someone call you and interview you. ask for their name and if possible the contact number. after the interview session ask if your loan able to approve estimated time. follow up with SA.

i do most of my things myself....change insurance from old car to new car, buy number plate, call to ask SA most of the time when can get car. All this will make the process run faster.

try:
1. push in your key, push the start once,
2. push the start second time.
3. press the break, then only start

if this method cant solve your problem, means ur engine problem.

to be honest guys... if you are in doubt, or if you are used to those import cars, and you have high expectation for the cars... then get the other brands... go for the so called hassle free T & H brand instead... or alternative such as K & Hyun... i am not discouraging you from buying preve, for me it is a good decent car with added latest safety features and value for money... as always, there will always be glitches here & there but its normal... even my BMW E90 also have ABS problem & engine starter prob which is left unresolved for almost 1 year plus by BMW...

There are three proton dealers at Puchong which I know, there are at opposite IOI Mall, Bandar Puteri, and Puchong Gateway.
Kindly let me know on which dealer that one you got all those free gifts.
I booked solid the white cfe at Puchong Gateway, and SA just told me on this morning, the cn number is 82xx
Hopefully could get car soon, and also the free gifts if any.

I think it's not new to your car bro. It's just shows itself today. Since car jerking and engine died in the middle of the road is kinda related to the OWV problem. But u may try what Arthur suggested first.

Agreed.

Though I used to drive around a lot with my fathers Spectra, to me damn this car far more superior than that. It's just the leather seat in Spectra is what cannot be found in Preve. At least to me who's noob in car. Hehe biggrin.gif

Just try the step:

1. push in your key, push the start once,
2. push the start second time. Wait for at least 10 seconds.
3. press the break pedal,
4. Push the start button when the light on the button is green.

This should be posted on the front page, true enough, i tried the method above before no over cranking even after not driving the car for 1 week shocking.gif

If follow the method of insert key, press brake and then push start button, got crank sound.

So one less problem to be concerned about, just need to fix boot pop out problem and c pillar wind noise, other than that awesome driving experience rclxms.gif

better 'ON' the ignition and wait 10 sec. let the car self diagnose. then start

maybe not enough current the car overcrank. my 2 cent

KUALA LUMPUR, June 25 — A hefty fine of up to RM2,000 awaits traffic offenders including for beating the red light, when amendments to the Road Transport Act 1987 are approved.

The Road Transport (Amendment) Bill 2012 was tabled today at the Dewan Rakyat for the first reading by Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Abd Rahim Bakri.

An amendment to subsection 79(2) was also sought to set the minimum penalty at RM300 and maximum at RM2,000 for motorists or pedestrians who ignore an order or traffic signal by a uniformed policeman or warden on traffic duty. The original act provides for an offender to be fined not more than RM500.

An amendment to subsection 26(2) of the bill is aimed at setting the minimum penalty for driving without a licence at RM300 and increasing the maximum from RM1,000 to RM2,000 and offenders liable to a jail term not exceeding three months, or both.

The proposed fine for speeding, under subsection 40(1) is RM2,000, from the original penalty of not more than RM1,000.

Copy and paste my posting in FB:

Just checked this morning, i didn't close the driver's door properly and i press the alarm lock and i heard the lock sound but the side mirror didn't fold and the alarm didn't trigger...surprising. As far as i'm concerned if we didn't close the door properly and enable the alarm, the alarm should trigger right? It didn't. So, is my alarm system faulty? Are you guys the same? If i press the alarm button manually, it trigger. Hmm...

So you guys have the same problem?

yes it should trigger the alarm.

for my case back door left. the alarm triggers

never test the driver side coz I always see it. LOL

Agreed bro.

But, it's just that I hate the fact that we'll need to be thick-faced to req something that supposedly we get for free in the first place.

In the end of the day, what we need is a little more effort on us requesting such thing from our Service Advisor. Open our mouth a bit. Hehehe

to be honest guys... if you are in doubt, or if you are used to those import cars, and you have high expectation for the cars... then get the other brands... go for the so called hassle free T & H brand instead... or alternative such as K & Hyun... i am not discouraging you from buying preve, for me it is a good decent car with added latest safety features and value for money... as always, there will always be glitches here & there but its normal... even my BMW E90 also have ABS problem & engine starter prob which is left unresolved for almost 1 year plus by BMW...

alamak... sorry bro ameiruddin for not updating... huhu...

all i can say is that... it is worth getting a new HU... since the core software in embedded (in the HU) while the SD card detail that you had provided is the map details which comes from navtec... you will have to wait for the official new release from proton...

the embedded software have similarity on how a tomtom gps software is installed... when there is a software patch, user need to get the revised SD and the patch will be automatically installed in the HU... oh, tomtom runs on linux by the way, but i doubt it can be installed on the HU, as i'm scared it might temper with the other radio, cd player software / functionality in the HU...

try looking for a HU with WinCE (one way to identify WinCE HU is from the gps software installed, such as iGo, garmin, papago, etc. and most WinCE HU can play multimedia files)... i nak cerita byk2 also cannot, coz my brother is the one mastering all these godeking stuff... he even had mod his lokatoo to have a menu with preve / prevoc logo... with 2 buttons for him to choose either to use garmin or papago...

Proton sourced these from Indonesia because local manufacturers do not have similarly priced high silica content tyres. Silica makes for harder tyres. Less rolling resistance. Hence jimat petrol.

Harder tyres unfortunately results in LOWER grip & MORE noise. Preve has got good handling but it's a heavy car. So trade off some of the performance for better fuel consumption. This seems a wise idea for Preve is a car designed for the masses.

If you want less noise, get a Turanza but don't complain about the price.

Finally my service advisor from COSE called back after complaint to the counter & to icare. According to him, the spare parts for OWV issue are ready, so can send my car over anytime.
I called to ICare also, hope they will get me a car for temporary. blush.gif

Rich8833, you may give them a call to book for appointment to get your OWV issue solved.

It is a trade off, you want a zippy car, cannot expect FC to remain the same. Want the FC to remain the same, stick to the stock tuning.

hi guys, being a bit bz bee rite now. Sorry to hear the hassle u guys have to endure, i hope they manage to solve all probs.

On the tyre side,to be honest, it is not the most silent available even compare to cc5, but it is worth for its price in term of performance vs price due to full silica compound. It is noisier in bold compare to preve. About floating, maybe check the tyre pressure coz iinm the front n rear has diff pressure.

On mapping, iinm, only the response is being modified n torque model. But it takes time to make a balance between emmision cntrol n response plus to intergrate with tcu from punch n also testing also needed before releasing such update.
It wont be as s mode coz in s mode rpm will raise 20% more than d mode, if same, can consume fc a bit more.

If some notice, if using cfe manual mode(slot to left) or iafm+ sat button, initial acceleration is a bit better than full cvt mode due to fixed ratio given even simulation. N knocking also less felt due to fix ratio.

Coz it involve pwrtrain n driveterrain together, so, many things needed to test n validate. Since wet clutch based cvt is still new to the user, so, sluggish feeling is appear. Coz when develop the pwrtrain combine with new driveterrain, they tried to tune according with some benchmark cars on how its behave n still meeting target emmision plus fc. Hopefully they manage to deliver the new fine tuning that satisfy all.

Enoc n team are busy doing it rite now i think.

Bye for now.

Great to know that the information is consistent between punch (kristof), mat79 and deepan84.

Hope they can deliver the new ecu mapping which solve the sluggish issue and still qualify the emission rating.

Finally my service advisor from COSE called back after complaint to the counter & to icare. According to him, the spare parts for OWV issue are ready, so can send my car over anytime.
I called to ICare also, hope they will get me a car for temporary.  blush.gif

Rich8833, you may give them a call to book for appointment to get your OWV issue solved.

Thanks for the info. Now to find the time.
Let me know how many days it takes for your car. I need to find alternative transport. notworthy.gif

On mapping, iinm, only the response is being modified n torque model. But it takes time to make a balance between emmision cntrol n response plus to intergrate with tcu from punch n also testing also needed before releasing such update.
It wont be as s mode coz in s mode rpm will raise 20% more than d mode, if same, can consume fc a bit more.

If some notice, if using cfe manual mode(slot to left) or iafm+ sat button, initial acceleration is a bit better than full cvt mode due to fixed ratio given even simulation. N knocking also less felt due to fix ratio.

Coz it involve pwrtrain n driveterrain together, so, many things needed to test n validate. Since wet clutch based cvt is still new to the user, so, sluggish feeling is appear. Coz when develop the pwrtrain combine with new driveterrain, they tried to tune according with some benchmark cars on how its behave n still meeting target emmision plus fc. Hopefully they manage to deliver the new fine tuning that satisfy all.

Enoc n team are busy doing it rite now i think.

Bye for now.

Not only fuel consumption, but emission.

The reason why Preve is being setup like that is to comply with global emission rating.

hi guys, being a bit bz bee rite now. Sorry to hear the hassle u guys have to endure, i hope they manage to solve all probs.

On the tyre side,to be honest, it is not the most silent available even compare to cc5, but it is worth for its price in term of performance vs price due to full silica compound. It is noisier in bold compare to preve. About floating, maybe check the tyre pressure coz iinm the front n rear has diff pressure.

Gist of it is, not only proton need to retune the ECU, they also need to work with Punch to retune the TCU. hence need a lot of fine tuning on both sides to achieve the best balance of performance, FC and emission.

Hope they can deliver the new ecu mapping which solve the sluggish issue and still qualify the emission rating.

from what ive being informed, the tuning for engine for manufacturers are not the same as aftermarket tuning coz many things needs to adhere n calculate. It not just plug n play like that. Thats why even cps on exora has diff tuning n final drive than neo,gen2 n waja cps. Even it is widely known the changes are to made cps give better response on initial acceleration, pickup n better fc for exora, but why not using the same setup for neo, gen2 n waja cps coz will give better pickup n fc too to them coz lighter than exora. But things are not that simple. Me also hard to digest the info, what to do, just a layman.

I know some of u want to feel the engine a bit, so, while waiting any update on ecu update,i did ask on the best method to sprint from standstill. Maybe this can help u a bit. Just a bit. But i need stress this is not promoting any illegal drag or race or cucuk2, n do this when the road is clear.

When stop at traffic light or any road, n want to test the power of the engine, normally we let the gear at Drive mode, hold the footbrake, n when the light turn green, release footbrake n immediately press the throttle.

(By the way, u will notice when holding the brake in d mode at standstill,the rpm is about 650-700 rpm compare to neutral@park idling at 800-850 rpm. This is because the tuning for punch cvt to save fuel during start stop condition by lowering the idling rpm when in gear n clutch is nearly open. There is a slight delay for the clutch to fully close n rpm need to get back to normal idling. Therefore, after releasing the footbrake without pressing the throttle, u will feel the car creeping slowly n rpm from 650 will jump to around 1100 rpm by itself without pressing the throttle.)

so, for preve, what u need to do, after stopping ur car,still standstill, engange handbrake, release footbrake. After this is matter the most, wait untill the rpm rising by itself at 1100 rpm, meaning that the clutch is dragging, nearly fully closed, since handbrake is engage, the car wont creep.

When the rpm is at around 1K to 1.1k rpm, release the handbrake n press the throttle to max@pedal to metal(u will notice the rpm needle move slowly to redline becoz entering slow sat mode). Hope this will help,even a bit.

Sorry cant help much

Guys,

I just collect my Preve CFE today.. When I took the car, do some checks, seems all working fine..no major issues..
Then i straight away send my car to tint shop.. to add another tint film.

After finish the tinting process, I realize something went wrong with my car... my car like.. very2 slow and too heavy to move..

I stopped, change my gear to 'Neutral' and press the gas pedal.. and I see the engine rev only can go up to 2000 - 2500 rpm only!..
Now I really frustrated.. wondering what happen to my car..
Also there is a warning indicator in amber color flashing.. i checked the owner manual the indicator means 'engine warning' or something like that..

Anyone of you know about this issue? Appreciate your advice.. thanks

Hi bros, tomorrow going to inspect my car before pay the downpayment. Any particular advise on which area i need to pay extra attention? i already print out the proton preve checklist from the front page and compiled few thing to look out like the boot lid misalignment, OWV problem. Going to try the 3 press start method to see if got cranking sound or not. Beside this anything else? Thanks

I try petronas since last sunday... normal drive is ok but if i half throttle and above... can hear pinging sound..! >.<

This usually means 1 thing and that is, Petronas RON95 has lower octane rating than listed. Probably only RON92? Try Shell and other station and see how it goes.

For this car half bar is normal, not overheat.

Anyway, search in google for engine break in. I've posted in V11 before & it has been confirmed by the MEow Team that we'll need to at least test our car up to 150-160km/j. So don't worry mate

thumbup.gif Great news indeed.

I just sometimes wonder, we've yet to hear any preve-swaying-related accident therefore we didn't know whether our ESP actually works? hmm.gif

What if it is faulty like some of us here who has their alarm faulty, OWV, as well as those who has their car shut off in the middle of the road...?

Anybody up for a trial run to test for this ESP thingy? brows.gif

Quoted from Paul Tan website

"The layman interprets car safety as being passive – which means the car must be good at saving your skin when you crash. He thinks the body must be “solid.” and he kicks the bumpers, shuts the hood and slams the door at the showroom to apparently test this by the sound the body parts make. This must be an acquired skill like wine tasting, as it doesn’t make sense to me at all. And then he counts the number of airbags in the car – the more, the better."

Yep..

But, what do you know, most malaysian have this old ways of checking the solidity of the car by that way. It's just that Proton didn't know they have the skill to gauge something like that with just their hearing... tongue.gif

SO, your remote is set to private mode. That's a safety features as well

Just push the unlock button for the second time bro. That should do the trick

most people will go "yerr...so little airbag one. Dunwan. Later accident then die."

Common Malaysian rather be safe in accident rather than driving safely.

can u lock the car remotely when the front door not closed? Iinm, u cant lock the car if front door not properly closed n iinm as well the signal will flash more than one time to remind u on that.

Iinm.To change one door unlock to all doors unlock, press lock n unlock button together in 2 scnd, the mode will swap. Do it near the car to change the setting.

Hope this help.

If we pull out the key while the car engine is still running.... will the car shut down itself once the key is far from the car ? If yes, how far ?

yup.... I've just tested it.... the engine will not stop. Is it possible for Proton to re-program this feature ? I think in some situation, its is good for the car to shut down itself. It is for safety reason. Perhaps, we leave the car with the engine running but taking the key with us. If the car got stolen.... it will not run far, and the car will stop by itself. Isn't it good like this ?

salam! helo to all

juz want to ask...

1) can i use petronas syntium 800 SM 10W-40 4.0L to replace petronas syntium 800 SL 10W-30? coz during my 1st svc they use syntium 800 SL 10W-30 but have to buy 2 bottle (3.0L & 1.0L)...more expensive instead of using 1 bottle syntium 800 SM 10W-40 4.0L only...

2) are semi synthetic oil sutable for 10K service interval? or i must use fully syn oil only for 10K svc interval?

tq guyz!

Late reply but better than never.

1. Although you can use weighted 40 syntium, I would not recommend it. Weight 30 is lighter and have better FC. Unless you constantly runs at high speed, using 30 lube would perform much better than 40. If you constantly, I really mean constantly runs at above 140km/h, 40 lube might be beneficial. Note that Preve does not have very strong torque at below 2K rpm, using 40 will definitely makes it heavier and worse.

2. All lube are supposed to service at 5K mileage regardless of FS, Semi or mineral. There are exception such as specifically mentioned High-Mileage lube, higher range cars with bigger lube storage and exceptional filteration system. Otherwise in reality on our weather and driving condition, even FS, IMO, should only go max 7K mileage before addictives wear out. Recommended 5K tho to be safe and perform optimally. If you wanted to follow the 10K service interval, only using FS should you even try to last that long. By then even FS addictives might have worn out and risk miniscule damages to engine. But then proton say can last 10K, if their engine are made to last optimally that for long term if continually using 10K interval even for FS.

You should received the SMS notification when your SA registered the Yes account for you.

You should received a SMS from YES on the day your car dealer make/create the registration.
All your YESuserid, pswd, ssid pswd are inside the SMS.



My SA always said he is very new to this and that and another guy is handling the YES thingy..and that guy is always not around.

Mine is the very first batch, i think they have pre-registered. All I request is my password. Anyway, thanks guys for the info. Will follow up with my %#@$*&^ SA then.

Well, trying to figure out from Godthum where's this place that sells off Reverse Cam that use outside screen so not temper with our wiring.. But wait, the thing still needs power isn't it? hmm.gif

abang2... akak2 (if any)...

need small favor... was chatting with my bro a while ago (just checking when he'll be placing order for his preve, but he mention end of the year, sigh!)... and while talking he mentioned that it is possible to put reverse cam on the preve... one thing about my bro is that, he is active in several car club and he enjoy doing DIY / godeking... well, he haven't really tried this on a preve (coz he haven't ordered his yet), but he had done a few times to enable after market rear view camera to be installed on some other cars stock touchscreen HU with this so called "special" connectors... he told me it can be done using after market MFD (multi funtion display) cable...

so, was hoping to do you guys a favor here... maybe my bro can find the cable for you guys to have an after market reverse camera installed on the stock HU... could someone PM / email me a picture of the back unit of the HU? or probably there is a rear HU diagram in the manual.. so that we can try to find one which is compatible with the stock HU... but don't put your expectation too high as both me and my bro will try our best to look for it... by the way, this MFD looks something like this photo below, where is convert video feed from an AV cable to the socket suitable for the stock HU... i presume it won't void the HU warranty as no cable will be cut from doing this... even the power to the camera will be supplied via this MFD..

user posted image

alternatively, if any of you know any car accessories shop that you are familiar with, go and ask them about this MFD... probably they can find one which is compatible with the stock HU...

oh by the way, another note to remember, please check / make sure in the stock HU manual regarding the configuration / setting for a video / rear view camera... if it is available (hopefully it has), then the screen will display the rear view video feed when reverse is initiated... else, how the HU will automatically change to a video feed kan?? and the best thing is, you don't need to tap the reverse lamp... it will all be done by the HU and the reverse camera controller box...

ok lah... very penat coz i had to go and meet my bro at his office in Section 19 just to get this wonderful details...

Bro, know this, your effort is HUGELY appreciated bro! thumbup.gif rclxms.gif

Though I have no access to my car now, I believe guys like Fulat, Ameiruddin, & many others might help you with that. Or at least confirm the MFD and how the back of the HU looks like.

Keep it up! Nice!!
