almost 2 month... baru half....

oh its normal, glad to know that... thanks fulat kor...

yeap, i went to teluk intan and singapore, so odo very fast run dy.
while driving in singapore, got the stare from people, perhaps they were thinking, eh what car is this...

my siblings like the comfort and stability... my bro, his altis (sg car, some years already) low profile and some mod, quite bouncy but very stable when doing fast cornering, quieter engine and no ngek ngek sound from dashboard...

my bro in law like the pickup compare to camry (big butt) and the stability while cornering...

edit: my mom says the back look a bit like bmw

i think better FC would benefit in the long term..rather go for power, perhaps Preve Sports Edition can have the power rather better FC.

yup even when you are driving and turning corners, as your back slants left to right rubbing your back to the seat, the creaky noise from the spring appears.

But it all happened when i first got my car, and as i tried to scratch my butt, my back lean against the back support, and suddenly i hear a POP sound and i know one of the pocket spring went in. but the sound got worse as days passed. I ordered the seat since early June.

You have to be careful not to lean your whole bodyweight against the back support. springs too fragile.

and the funny part is, my driver seat got bulu and they changed for me. But SA says the bulu can also be contributed by the driver wearing jeans. I never wear jeans but anyway, does that mean this Preve Drivers cannot wear Jeans? Might as well be butt naked driving la.  laugh.gif

lol...then our butt will berbunga already

yes, don't send for fixing yet.  let all the parts get the heat thoroughly then only send for fixing. Otherwise you have to get it done every 2 weeks.

I got mine fixed already, very good now. but accelerate vibration at dashboard cannot be helped for the time being.
*
you read my mind... thats what happen.

For those who felt the steering vibrate a lots when you braked, you need to have your disc rotor skimmed.

That solves my problem.

i waited long enough for the approval from HQ.
SC was kind enough to change for me yesterday b4 approval bcoz the back without support really hurt my back while driving long hours, especially this coming holidays.

I also have all window trim cover fixed. No more wind noise.

now will just wait after holidays to send my car for respraying all defective areas which needs at least 3-5days.

I am enjoying myself sending my car regularly to SC to get things fixed nicely every now and then until it's perfect. No need to get upset or frustrated. Not their fault. Just be nice to them and you will feel so at home. Enjoy the experiences and make new friends.
*
yup totally agree, no point getting angry, just ask them nicely the gentleman way, fix the problem.

window trim cover...hmm... wind noise, i still don't have the chance to sit at rear to listen.
but if the whistling sound strong enuf, evern sit at front can hear right?

depends on the surface of the tarmac road. Road noise might cover-up the wind noise. But it's definitely a defect. Must have additional window strips at certain areas. Will Snap pic for you later. Gotta run.

thanks bro... then might as well i complaint the wind noise... let them just replace the whole rubber here n there.
since mine was already poorly install.
