1) Since u said you tend to travel more. Definitely FC will be better compared to those 100% city driving. Nonetheless, true FC can only be read after 10k Service bro. So far I believed only 1 or 2 of us here has reached 10k & above.

2) AFAIK, Those who has the broken down / engine shut off during driving is actually a remote case. Unless if you say its jerking, then yes. Quite a number of us here has it. Nonetheless, there are also so many of here who only suffers minor faulty equipment/functions in this car but we embraced it as the fact that we are buying a first batch car. in fact, IMHO, I believe those that happy with their Preve outnumbers those who did not.

i) its due to the hook of the rear seats I believe?

ii) heartbeat?

iii) normal.

iV) define flimsy... drop too fast? or cant drop at all?

v) normal

proton car many problem de....dont buy,go buy forte

yea lo.. these are the reasons why i am holding back..

but i went for a test drive  last sunday.. truely awesome.. fall in love with the car

but just some QC problms.. and its holding me back..

i think of the forte b4.. but got qc problems even since CKD model..

dashboard rattle, pull the left issue, windshield cracked for no reason, water goes into fog lamp, air cond not cold enuf and super poor aftersales service.. ><

not that i am bashing forte.. i am a big fans of forte too

so i think is normal for a new car like preve to have defects  ^^

that problem only apply to early 2011 model i heard, dec 2011 model onward is ok, how i wish i got that money for sure i go for forte.

if you can wait till next year, forte 2013 will be launch, hopefully naza brings in CBU.

i think all those brand, as long as it's CKD, quality affected

i test drive preve bro.. sry for to mention.. hehe

anyway.. hope u r getting a good car bro...

i am thinking positively also 

pls utilize google and search for it.

how would i know which month in 2013 will be avail in msia?
as per my statement wait till next year and see lor.

best rule of thumb is never spend more than 1/3 of your net salary for monthly loan repayment.

totally agree with u bro..

i would give another 1 year to preve to improve.. by the time only decide.. also not late ma

u already bought it bro.. 

if u saw money i spend for my car is correct d..

wah, my car really drink like no tomorrow..

did i do correct?

The front door ajar no honk and heavy brake dust thing isn't even a problem lah. Its the character of the car. For instance, you like nasi lemak. I cant say you have a problem coz u like nasi lemak, right?

The BCM was programmed such way (front door ajar- no honking, rear doors ajar - ada honk twice). The heavy brake dust is a byproduct of the grinding of brake pad against the brake disc. You prefer Good stopping power + silent but with brake dust brake pads or good stopping power + eeekkk eeeekkk ekkkk ekkkkk sound but no brake dust brake pads? Want to minimize the brake dust? Learn to control the brake. Start braking softer and earlier, dont brake like track days. And also understand and utilize the engine braking.

He's our own seller of Preve here bro. That's why he knows.

I dont have preve. But my customer complained to me about the C-pillar noise issue and also sometimes radio reception not very good. Fortunately, he didn't encounter the one way valve problem yet.

i dint sell a lot la, I only sold one to an uncle. He was in the car when I bawak the test drive car go for a test drive. So while driving, I explain everything to him then few days later he call me say he ready all the documents edi for a Preve.   ayam punya sale. Haha.

But to date, my showroom has sold close to 30 units of the Preve. Dint hear any issues of customer coming back and make a big hoohah yet, so I just assume no major problems detected on the cars leaving my showroom lot.

I don't think a lot of people is having probs with their Preve. If you notice, the issues came from mostly the same owners.
We share our concerns here only. 

define a lot. 3 photos of Preve having problem/accident cant be counted as a lot of Preve encounter problem. It merely reflects a lot of people share the unfortunate event. "Stale" smell smell stronger than good smell and bad news travels faster than good news.

For instance on last week's TT, out of the 31 owners who came, 1 car was admitted to kilang coz kena bang by wimmen and only 1 has major problem (which was subsequently fixed after spending nearly three weeks? in SC). The rest of 28 cars just face minor problems like wind noise, seats gathering dusts, etc.
