What's the point of trying this? Just to prove that the car can be started without slotted in the key fob? however, I might try this also..lol

My wife use back her mobile Papago GPS (the one that can be stick at the car's front windshield) becoz she's so frustrated with the Preve built-in GPS. According to her, the built-in GPS is less user friendly, difficult to search & the POIs is very2 limited. Many of the POIs that she search for is none existence in the built-in GPS (some of it are major landmarks) in which she could easily find it using her trusted mobile Papago PND (Personal Navigation Device). The only good thing for the built-in GPS over the Papago PND is the fast startup, fast satellite locking & fast routing (which doesn't help much coz the POIs is not there in the first place).

If Proton use Garmin or Papago GPS..sure it's way better than the current Preve built-in GPS. Should put Garmin or Papago in the Preve also in the first place...

Yeahh..credits to the MFM team. They really done an excellent job in updating the maps monthly. I use their GPS map in my Forte built-in GPS (Papago) & also my wife use it in her PND. I have to say that their map is

Yupp..i agree with u. During my long trip on highway last time, by mostly autocruising at 110km/h, the Preve instant FC shows about 6.8-7.xL/100km on an even road. I got average FC of 7.2L/100km from Alor Setar to Bukit Merah. I've also tried autocruising at 90km/h on the highway (also on an even road) & the Preve's instant FC shows from 5.8-6.xL/100km. So i can conclude that, 90km/h (at the rpm of about 1.8k, below the optimum boost of the turbo) is perhaps an optimum speed to saves fuel for Preve. Once the turbo kicks in full boost, the FC figure jumps noticeably.

As a comparison to my Forte 2.0 (since the Preve CFE is comparable to a 2.0 car in term of power & torque as advertised), the best average FC i got (for Forte 2.0) is 5.9L/100km when i mostly autocruising at 110km/h from Tanjung Malim to Jalan Duta (highway). While from Alor Setar - Jalan Duta trip, i got average FC of 6.1L/100km at the same autocruising speed (car with 2 adults & 2 children with almost full luggage in the boot).

For both cars during these measures, also no pedal to metal & no sudden acceleration with same driving behavior.

Perhaps i can make a conclusion that my Forte 2.0 gives better FC than my Preve CFE when autocruising at 110km/h (at least from my very own measurement & observation coz i got both cars ). Mind u that my Forte 2.0 is the 4-speeder..6-speed Forte 2.0 should gives better FC figure i guess...
