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

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

finally my car bodywork is done but i complaint about my alignment issue where my steering tend to steer to left a lil bit. After the inspection, they told me it is the camber problem and they need the technician help, wonder why COE don't have the technician?

Anyone once they done my camber, my car is ready for the TT v3 ;D

Hi, Im silent reader since V2?? (cant really remember). I got my car last saturday, CN 8XXX white. So far, im satisfied with my car. just some minor issues here:
(i) gluk gluk sound in rear seat(near speaker there)during braking or turning corner, maybe the plastic is not installed properly.
(ii) heartbeat during P.
(iii) No alarm is triggered if front doors are not closed properly when lock the car.
(iv) flimsy glovebox
(v)heavy brake dust
If anyone knows the solution for the issues above, pls let me know.
I think Previans should have reverse camera as the rear spoiler is higher, quite difficult to see (im bad in reverse man @@)
Since the sluggishness issue is due to the wet clutch characteristic and for the FC consideration, it is acceptable for me. although it's a bit awkward when im the 1st place in traffic light...
I like the CVT aeroplane sound much. so i wont include this in the problem list.
I believe my car can actually hear me so i will talk to my car, but im forced to park my beloved under trees(no more parking slot in my house), very hard to keep it clean T_T heartpain when seeing all the leaves(very small size) covering the body.
Hmm, although im new, wish to join TT if given a chance. I know there are many nice guys here. Special thanks to Jerie, regarding the prevoc fb approval.
Cheers
