Who knows the weight of the 16" R3 rims? Quite interested to use it on my wife's CFE provided that the rims are lightweight...

Thanks bro fulat for the prompt answer. The rim is light enough indeed. Will consider to install it Need to ask wifey first..lol

Not differs by much anyway..if the weight is around 5.xkg..then WOW Anyway, 6.xkg is consider light enough for the 16" rims for me.

One more thing bro..did u know the rim's offset? (for the 5 holes rim)

Edited : Just noticed it..the offset is 38

Ehh bro..114.3 is the rim's PCD

So for current Preve owners..got any solutions? ECU remap or whatsoever perhaps?

yupp..that's me

My advise? Hmm..it's quite hard to advise bro nic actually. I myself did not own Forte 1.6EX in the first place in order to compare it with my Preve CFE. I only can compare it to my Forte 2.0SX (CBU) as below :

Handling = Preve (undeniable)

Ride Smoothness = Forte (Preve CVT need to be refined)

Comfort = Preve (maybe due to its 16" rims & tune for comfort suspension. Forte SX use 17" rims with sports tune suspension)

Cabin Quietness = on par (Forte got tire noise due to its wider tires, Preve got engine noise due to its CVT)

Build Quality = Forte (Forte is more refined in its build)

Acceleration = Forte (That's for sure though the Preve's torque is higher)

FC = Forte (especially on highway drive. City drive (low speed) i would say on par. Mind u..my Forte is 4-speeder, not 6-speeder which will give better FC i believe)

Specs & Price = Compare it yourself..lol

My wife's verdict = From her own words, if she were given a choice between these 2 cars to drive..she prefer to drive my Forte rather than her Preve CFE..

At the end..it's your money, your car & your own satisfactions..so choose the car wisely. For me, there are no wrong choice for both cars

Nope..it depends on the direction of the collision. If it was just a front collision, only front airbags will deploy. If it was just a side collision, only the side airbags will deploy. & if it was just a rear collision, non of the airbags will deploy

Yalorr..even most bashers did not own the car in the first place bash blindly from the hear-say...

It is completely normal. Dont worry. If the car detects that the turbo unit is too hot when u off the engine, it will activate the fan for a while to cool it down (for the sake of the engine itself)

I'm shocked. Tears is in my eyes. Did not read this forum for 3 days & end up today with this very2 sad news. Though i do not know him personally, but i always read his informative posts here. I feel lost of friend who really like to share his passion on Preve here. RIP bro fulat & my deepest condolence to his family...

Lolz..perhaps i need to update the table to include Preve also

God willing..will do later on.

My wife's Preve as of now is performing very well. No problem whatsoever except for a minor rattling sound which is acceptable (just turn on the radio..lolz). Only that the FC is quite high comparing to my Forte 2.0, the unsolved issue of water spraying to the wiper arm (right side) & the side mirror default behaviour that annoys us a bit. But that's not the problem after all

I did gave my simple comparison review between both cars on my previous2 post..not sure when & on what version of this thread i posted it..too many posts in several forums.. sorry
