bro bro..actually i test drive preve and inspira..then i choose inpira...but suddenly i think preve quite interesting too..but...
i just wondering..did humming sound happen to both auto transmission..or only CFE got tht humming sound? (sound berdengung)

i feel the CFE preve lack of pickup.and some said it is bcoz of the 7 speed CVT which sacrifice the pickup in CFE preve...how about 6speed CVT preve?

can u guys sharing with me...

diadokmai,

u have to understand how heavy is preve. u do need more stepping on the paddle in order to move it.. its same like forte 1.6 as well...

even F1 choose their drive depend on weight as well...

overall i still prefer preve even u let me choose the inspira 2.0 new one.. coz roadtax and insurance also another factor.

Thanks bro fulat..
like tht ka..i realize now..
me too actually considering the insurance and road tax..tht why i thinking of changing my option to preve..

i had a bit oof f experience in both.. my brother took preve exec iafm+. meanwhile the one that i did the test drive at the SC was the CFE.

pick up wise, not much differences. since CFE is programmed to kick in when the rpm is between 2k-4k rpm. so, in terms of moving from stop, both performed pretty much the same. cruising around 80kmj-90kmj also pretty much the same. the iafm+ did the job well.. but whenever u want to take over the car in front, then u will hear the noise of the engine roaring, instead the car wasnt moving that fast compared to the roar of the engine.. the conclusion, iafm+ is enough if ur driving style more likely an unker style..

as for most of us here, we need the power to dragged the car more.. thats why we chose CFE (errr... mmm.. i havent got my car yet.. but since i already booked the CFE, i consider myself as a CFE owner hehehe)

but to be honest, the real reason why i chose the CFE is not because of the CFE. but its because of Elecltronic Stability Control. ive been through a spinning myvi. and let me tell u, its horror.. i wasnt driving fast since i know its raining.. and my tyre was just changed to a new one a few month before.. and still, it happened due to a water trap...

from my readings, the ESC could prevent the car from swaving left and right... judging from our weather, i would say, Malaysia needs to regulate a new car to comes with ESC factory fitted..

i want the ESC too...since inspira dont hv this tech...

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.

i think that not a CVT whine...since u said preve insulation is better than inspira..becouse i dont hear that sound when test drive inspira...

maybe tht is the second one + CVT...the CVT campro issue..since my previous campro which is un-CVT gearbox (GEN 2 2005) dont have that sound too...
