if 4holes, 4 or 8 spokes is nice.
if 5holes, 5 or 10 spokes is nice.

if it is in A/B pillar, then it's Curtain.

thru my reading, for some markets, preve will be fitted with curtain aibags.

may that pics in the manual refer to these markets.
sorry, i dun have the manual.

seriously... anyone know how the hell that car can be up there for lastnight mersing, johor that accident?

i am damn curious how does that car can ended up there with the bonnet facing that direction.
*
as mentioned in the article, that happened around felda Nitar.
if u going to mersing via ayer hitam plus toll exit, u'll pass this area.

the whole journey to mersing thru this road is fun for driver.
corners, uphill/downhill, almost clear road with 90km/h speed limit.
but bear in mind that this road is also utilized by big trucks, fill wif blind corners, wavvy surface & sometimes slippy after drizzle.

why i know? i go back to mersing once per month using this road.
i had my bad day when i crash my mom's gen2 butt against power poles at a corner, 8km b4 mersing, precisely at felda Melikai doh.gif

especially that Nitar area, long straight with uneven surface, added with interesting turns, only a few can drive fast. hati kering & hard nuts.

very very long review..but..talking lots of gen2?
only 3 out of 12 paras saying about preve?

well as a driver of a gen2,
1. i always like its styling, inside-out.
pls do notice that gen2's dash design is of 2005, but most of the car nowadays still adopt it.
i believe the current preve dash will be the next trend in automotive sector smile.gif

2. regarding the goldish color of earlier ed. i prefer that becoz it gives me perception of wider space inside.
do compare earlier ed with cps..u'll notice the power of color.
truthfully, i really like the sapphire preve due to this color scheme.

3. the writer is true about the gear shift pattern. i feel the same.
low torque @ low rpm is the bad characteristic of the campro vanilla. i've learnt the behaviour of this engine & drive as such. no problem. no problem at ipoh PLUS downhill/uphill area. just maintain the momentum. u got lotus' handling ma!
(that's why when i test drove the exora bold cfe, from proton glenmarie into the main road coming from subang jaya, i wheel-spun the tyres becoz i thought cfe shared the charac. of normal campro. i was wrong. i was amazed)

for me. it's no use of complaining. just go & find the solutions cool2.gif

KEEP MOVING FORWARD!

WTF? Again?  laugh.gif

By the way, bro fulat, I like your idea of finding way for tyre noise DIY.  rclxms.gif
The tyre noise really annoyed me, replacing tyre because of noise seems not a long term solution.  blush.gif
Remember to share when you found out a way for this DIY.  notworthy.gif

selalu tayar baru mmg senyap sket.
but later due to wear & tear, sure the sound will be noticed.

may i know how u guys measure the noise?
ios/android apps? unit in dB?
