didnt manage to test drive but probably this sunday will test drive and book. and then start process loan etc. Salesman told me that the price will go up after this ( 3k+ increase) . and partner with RHB for 2.68% loan if im not mistaken. i check with Public and its 2.82% fr 7 yrs ( best interest for proton ) .

Actually when jam, weight 30 lube would have better pickup and fc balance. THAT is why in CITY, recommend 30 coz jam lar....even on highway 30 still very good. Its those that run at high speed FREQUENTLY on high that weight 40 is recommended.

When you say save a penny loose a pound, I'm lost. Weight 40 does NOT means it have more protection than 30. Its just that it can withstand higher heat temperature and suitable for CONSTANT higher speed drive when engine have prolonged high temperature usage. When idle, it will not be as hot as the overwork high speed ride. Weight 30 and 40 protect the same at normal temp as the viscosity will thin the same at that temp. Its the high end temp that makes the difference with 40 being able to withstand being overly thin at very much temp. Daily non constant high speed driver would rarely reach such temp if ever.

When we say save FC, it comes mostly from increased pickup power. THAT is what most everyone wants, better acceleration = better FC unless you start revving kau kau, then whatever weight also no save fc.

I'm not sure tho how hot CFE will be compare to normal CPS. Since the manual listed 30, then you can be sure 30 IS recommended for balance drive of FC and pickup power. That especially is for city traffic = slower drive = jams.

Go check your manual.

Before information get miscommunicated, I would like to stress that it is not the exhaust that gets rusty. It is the bracket that was holding the exhaust muffler that get rusty. That part is outsourced from outside and probably the vendor didn't spray paint on it.

The solution for the problem is just spray some paint on it. Just like our house grills, we paint them every year to prevent it from getting rusty. Simple and yet, effective solution. No special treatment or tools needed to mend that rust.

Those kaki mod exhaust like me will know this. No rocket science involved.

yeap... i see this car is potential up price soon. but u sure u want white? its hard to maintain unless u have a maid at home every morning clean up for u.

yeah... even myvi lowest loan is about 3%. proton lower. for the price go up is expected. i heard the booking now is more than 17k now. go test drive it... might be sluggish like 1.6cc forte... but once this engine run in my friend 325I new car also was shock that i can cucuk him behind without any problem when i go bentong and roub with him.

on yeah.. if for a lady drive.. please get a reverse camera for them... if u dont know where in ipoh can do it for u... u might wanna get a trip down here in KL to fix it

One thing : my fiancee is superb driver. even more ganas than me ( dont tell her i say this , she will kill me ) hahaha. shud be this weekend.
Once its all done , im split between changing the GPS unit and make it BIGGER!! haha!

oh my gawd... please let me know your car number.. i wil try to avoid that preve when i am in ipoh... lol... oh yeah.. i might end up in ipoh next coming 2 weeks. so if u wanna see how to do the rubber. this might be ya best chances also.. mean time i am helping some forumer here to bring some rubber down for them.

and also... if u found any good deal one the HU.. let me know.. i might be interested.

Hmm I might go and book a preve soon! fiancee choose preve over Exora LOL!

yes finally... so we can expect better from proton after all.

exora for new couple? u wanna bring the whole family is it?! hahaha chill bro.. just kidding.. exora bold cfe is a good mpv if u ask me.. its just that the cost maintenance is double than preve.. ive seen the service maintenance schedule and the cost.. its higher becoz the interval is 5k whereas preve is 10k after the 10k mileage.. i think its due to the setting of the engine.. the bold is more power compared to preve although they r using the same engine.. therefore must had more frequent of maintenance...

Hi Chong_84, where did u book yr car?
Got any special discount or free gift?
So fast can get your car, wonder why others saying need to wait 2 to 3 months?

Haha no offence taken bro. well im the eldest grandson so at times i need to drive my grandparents to go out and i was planning for long term ( family planning) so my initial option is exora. then last sunday we decided to go showroom and im amazed with both car actually. but since the missus choose preve, i will go ahead with that .

that one for exora bold CFE... do hope for preve one will be next... from the problem they mentioned on the letter... it should be OWV.

hi guys, about cold start sound on cfe,its vvt sound, if it is really loud, i mean really loud, than its the ocv valve on vvt. I think the assembly line people already been informed about earlier errors by the line when overtightening the ocv valve. So stupid if the same error is reoccur. But if not loud really loud, then its a normal vvt operating sound during cold start.

About iafm+, maybe i care misunderstand ur inquiry. If the knocking sound is loud, i mean really loud as previous problem on iafm unit, then its iafm problem. Another thing that will associate with this prob is really bad fc n loss of power. But the earlier prob on iafm unit already been rectify by using better high thermal plastic from before. If a slow knocking sound,There are no loss of performance n fc is as before,i think its normal, not associate with iafm unit. But better send it to check when 1st service.

But u can check youtube on earlier iafm unit problem, on how its sound. It is really loud.

i understand u... me and mandy was initially pick on exora until the SA open up the boot for mandy to check out.. and dont worry about family car... my mum have no problem getting up from rear passenger seat.

so our turn will be near i guess. :-D

yup good 

so the krek krek sound, mentioned by mat79, due to OCV valve on vvt overly tighten. that's causing oil leak.
hmm the memo didn't mentioned OWV.

the boot is really.. AMAZING! kalah my previous VIOS!!! my paintballgear bag put inside VIOS Boot, almost full! 
this one i think put 3 also can!
