You need to put additional 4 psi for front and rear as the recommended tyre pressure is for car on stationary position. Once the car have travelled more than 1.5km, the tyre have expanded and thus need to put in extra 4 psi. This tip was shared by mat79 on this forum sometime back.
*
I tried the tip but discovered 4 psi was too much for my liking. Tires were hard/bumpy and that severely compromises the comfort of the ride. In the end, I went back to the 32/30 as stated by the door. Don't really mind the risk of premature tyre wear so long as I find my ride comfy.

LOL .. I did try to warn some guys not to overdo with the DIY rubber seals. Too much is really no good. Some guys simply like the feeling of being in a closed pressurised fish tank. I prefer a light airy quiet environment. After installing for the first time, I ended up potong-potong here & there a few days later so that the doors close easier. At some areas, big D is such an overkill.

Dear friend,

Since my telinga is pedas already becoz my adik always complain the cvt woooooo wooooo sound during slowdown, I was thinking to reduce this sound by installing sound proofing material/insulation at firewall, what u guys think? worth to proceed? but quite expensive also, huhu
*
Preve is already well padded at the firewall. Won't gain much from doing soundproofing there. CVT whine may however be addressed by replacing the soundproofing material on the front bonnet. I had mine done in August. You can read about it here > http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=54052924

when u sit in teana and u compare their cvt sound to us then u will wan to do soundproofing to get rid of tat sound. Smooth transmission with no whine= best


Lol .. not fair to compare with a car that's 2X the price. If like that, better compare with car that's 1/2 the price, e.g. Kancil. Sure win liao. On it's own, at that price range, I think it's difficult to find a challenger for Preve in terms of NVH.

If compared to Elantra, that doesn't look too bad



Added on October 12, 2012, 5:44 pmAnd if compare to P1's test simulation, the results looks close. Then again, I'm no expert.

No worries. This thread is always interesting because LYN has so many interesting people. Thread only gets depressing when people are bi7chin about their cars. Would be great if one (or more) of the veterans gives a positive review of his/her car.

For ANCAP result to publish, ANCAP themselve will pick random car from showroom. They buy the car and perform the test themselves.

Just checked the Aussie dealer's website. Despite earlier claims of a September launch, Preve has yet to be released there. Think P1 is trying out to iron out the bugs before sending it over to more vociferous Aussies.

just now i start my preve got krekkkkk sound.. not the 1st start of the day..  maybe is OWV problem.. gonna check for oil leak tomorrow.

Think it's related to brake pedal. Cold weather aggravates it since the cold shrinks the air within the vacuum servo. If I go to Genting and park overnight, quite often vacuum servo don't work till after I have reversed out and started going forward in 'D' gear. Have to really stomp on it to get the car to stop whilst in reverse. Once in 'D', it builds up enough vacuum pressure and problem goes away.

Dear BartS, saw ur previous post, it is good that it work to reduced the cvt sound during accelaration, but how about the "wuuuuu wuuuuuuuuuu wuuuuu" sound during deceleration to 0km/j, reduce also?  hmm.gif
*
Could be I may be getting deaf with age but after doing the soundproofing, I can barely hear the whine (that used to annoy the crap out of me). Perhaps WhiteLighter can drop in and offer his impressions.

The 5x stronger spark promotes complete combustion of the air-fuel mixture resulting in extra power squeezed out from the same amount of fuel burnt

Would this also mean my Iridium plugs would have shorter life span?

Asking the Executive edition, comparing with Saga 1.6 CVT in term of power is there any huge difference?
Pricing is higher than 10k but the spec to get are better and more comfort, now still considering..
*
Preve is 30% heavier than a Saga. Fair to assume given the same engine, the Saga 1.6 should be much more zippier.

Depends on your needs. If you want cheap & economical, go for the Saga. If you want a large, safer & more comfortable sedan, then the choice would be Preve.

Also have to consider how you plan to use the car. If you're a fresh grad, planning to commute within the city on a daily basis, with yourself as the sole passenger, choose the Saga for the fuel economy. If planning to ferry your family for balik kampung purposes, then I would choose the Preve. Ultimately, purchase what you can afford and not what you think you'll look better in.

Something I read over at autoworld forum ( http://forum.autoworld.com.my/index.php?s=...dpost&p=1841001 ). Perhaps something to keep an eye out for. Hopefully not
