make me scared on hearing the all sort of problem on the preve.
The OWV sound like a serious engine problem, why they don't detect during testing? Most preve owner complaining the HIGH FC on this car. |

QUOTE(ruffstuff @ Jul 7 2012, 02:29 PM) go check similar engine and size car thread. 15l/100km even 20 also got. I know it is wrong to make a comparison with this. IMHO, this Campro CFE is suppose to make an additional power with relatively good FC. But when Preve owner list down their FC, like 10-15L/100Km, it is not really good. Almost the same FC like W211 E240, 2600cc engine, a V6 engine btw. Then, it same FC with 525 BMW, 2.5L engien, not sure V6 or not. When compare to 1.8 kompressor w211, even the kompressor had a better FC. Not yet compare with turbo engine like golf GTI, or the puegeot 308 engine. BTW, 308 engine is THP, Turbo High Pressure, make a more power, BUT, the FC is better than CFE. NOT flaming other users, but Proton should make a CFE including with VVT both inlet n outlet and direct injection to reduce FC  |

QUOTE(Pokeman @ Jul 7 2012, 02:38 PM) OWV is not the issue where your engine will suddenly burst in to fire.. don't flame other to compare this car with viva, myvi kancil. There are buyer who buy this car as their 2nd car, for their lovely wife.it just a freaking sound from cold start.. iinm if start from the warm condition, should be no problem at all.. proton engineers must think a good solution to dissapear this sound.. of couse it didnot serously injury the engine, but the sound make the customer think like they are having a troublesome engine.. maybe need to do bypass to activate owv once the driver slot in the key, then once they push start button, the owv already prepared to be served... Added on July 7, 2012, 2:44 pm i believe most of preve new owner drive kancil,vavi or myvi before they decide to buy a Turbo Sedan preve..... then they compare the FC with their car.. hahaha..wake up malaysian.. so, if Mr.A drive a 3.0cc engine then Mr.A buy Preve, he will say Preve very FUel Efficient??? so they know how to make a comparison for their FC and compare it with other same category of this car.

QUOTE(BartS @ Jul 8 2012, 01:30 PM) When doing the comparison, are the FC for the cars you mentioned real life results for the cars in KL traffic? Or are they just published results from the manufacturers? Do bear in mind that Preve CFE's published FC of 6.6 L/100km is achievable but nobody will drive like that in real life. Comparison in real life.U can survey in their car forum also fyi. the FC is from the dashboard Fc indicator |

I can smell this Preve car will not have a good resale value.
It still got a lot of problem. Same like Gen2 last time when it is introduce. A lot of Malaysian felt in love with it and comment it consist of Innovative design, plus new and good campro engine. end up all is not true, and 2nd price gen2 drop a lot |
