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)..

Paultan only review preve premium and preve executive m/t.
CFE is quite expensive. And i havent once drive over 160kmh.
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).
*
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.

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.
*
i dont think N is a good option. S mode better to get the engine breaking

hmmm... for past almost 4weeks my preve with me.. everytime i started the car.. i never press the started button 3 times.. enter the car straight started the car.. could that be the reason on hard jerking issue that i faced now?..
*
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

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

Morning to all Preverians!

So after one month driving my red preve, now it's seem like the OWV is having problem now asides from the dashboard rattling sound as well.

This morning when I insert the key and press the start-stop button without pressing the brake, the 'oil' sign on the panel would not disappear together with other sign (engine, ESP etc) even I waited for awhile. Then I started the engine, and a loud "clakkkk" sound appear.

Does anyone here had go to mutiara damansara SC and get their OWV fixed? And is it we need to leave the car for 2 or 3 days for the issues to be rectified accordingly?

Thank again!

Today morning CAT team in maluri sc. A few forumer is there. You can ask kiapreve coz he will meet with the CAT team.

Can you ask meow team what is the most recomended engine oil. Its just we have a lot of problem with OWV. maybe can change to a specific viscosity to eliminate the problem.

emmm maybe 5W/30 or 5W/40. 5W for colder temperature. and then ask whats the different in term of morning ignition to the car. they should know better.

Thanks tongue.gif

my car have wind noise at A pillar so i thought. like whistle sound when reach 90kmh onwards

read in FB it might be sound from the air-cond vent. when I off air-cond air circulation there is no sound from A pillar.

Proton might want to have closer look at this and resolve it.
