ok, i have been following this preve thread a few days.

in term of performance and spec, i have no doubt preve win hand down when comparing to vios, almera. proton did very impressive in this preve. nothing to deny.

however, i found the quality is still a problem to Proton.

even though it might be just some small issues, but it will keep giving me headache to go SC, complain, follow up and etc..

well, i am quite busy with my work, these small issues is going to kill me.

could i conclude that, if i want a peace of mind, i should say No, and avoid Preve?

hope preve owner could give me neutral comment on my above statement.


thank you

Those all sorts of problems are easily fixable. They are looking for methods to improve here and there, and many of them already SOLVED.
Its not like any of those small problems that will affect the safety of your vehicle cruising on the roads.

I actually whack 160km/h even before 1st service.

After 1st service, engine will be smoother, more refined, less "grinding" sound. Again that was b4 the ECU/TCU mapping.

With new ECU/TCU mapping, engine mounting fuel line hose MOD, turbo pressure house cable ties mod, the driving experience is seriously good NOW

After my 1st service, i felt that engine more noisy and rough. Maybe due to the engine oil which is thicker.

Perhaps so, I believe u are using 15w50 fully synthetic?
I'm using 10w30 semi for the time being, 5w30 next wink.gif

Yeah, that time the SA highly recommended. Can I change to 5w30 or 5w40 next service interval which is 10k?

Sure why not?
The first rating of the oil grade, the lower it is, the better the pickup will be. Generally feel LIGHTER wink.gif

The lower the cheaper or more expensive? I thought oil thicker better. Anyway, got so many which one to choose? Syntium 800 5w-30 syntium 1000,2000,4000.

@arthur,
EON sg pinang SC got 5w 30? Or need to buy outside and give them?
*
Proton cars do not recommend any 5w30 oil for their vehicles somehow but I know where you can purchase them. wink.gif

Try head to any Suzuki service centre nearby, all suzuki vehicles are using 5w30. Its either semi or fully, 4litre or 3 litre pack.
4 litre semi, selling around RM97.
Those are all Petronas API SM grade, rebadged oil. biggrin.gif

I remember.....around RM170 to Rm180....
Just purchase the 4 litre.
Have to check again tomorrow, its generally cheaper than buying Petronas engine oil at any Proton Edar service centre.

No idea why but for us Suzuki, Suzuki Malaysia Automobile do get us a better offer than Proton though.....

Too thin may cause engine oil leaking perhaps? Not advisable for new engine, that's for sure.

Not all cars designed to run with thinner oil, especially those not properly maintained.

more than 10km per l in high traffic congestion? with 1300kg++, I doubt it.
I do think even Vios barely can do that.

No ESC, no auto wiper, no cruise control, no auto light, no side airbags, no GPS, no rear bootlid spoiler, no TURBO !!!

Fully Syn Engine oil last 10k km. does proton oil filter last that long?

Why not?

If the oil is good enough, it won't too much contamination to the oil filter, thus longer lifespan for the parts.

In terms of fuel economy, the CVT-equipped Prevé Executive is rated to be the best of the lot sipping on only 5.8L/100km, whereas the manual transmission Executive drinks 0.4L more at 6.2L/100km and finally the Premium drinks 6.6L/100km

I got this from a website ...
Means  Exe auto version better than Manual better than premium , in term of FC ....
Am i right ?

Depend on your driving pattern anyway.

If you read the brochure, those FC was recorded at 90km/h constantly. Around 2000rpm, max torque kicks in.
How often you can maintain that figure?

You won't be able to save much from each tank? RM10?
Per month perhaps around RM50?
A year is RM600?

I would prefer a car that I enjoy driving more rather than the small saving in fuel. thumbup.gif

Currently im using liqui moly semi syn 10w-30. Plan to to change to fully syn on my next service.
But donno how good is liqui moly fully syn 0w-30 engine oil.

Which brand will u choose for fully syn engine oil bro?
*
No idea bro. I usually go for the one that I can get easily, affordable and change on time. Its an enhanced Campro, not Lambo....I dun think I want to feed it with top range engine oil....Proton recommended Petronas anyway....unless certain brand can give me huge performance gain and good FC, which I doubt......
Never use fully syn b4, all the time semi. Change every 5k

U sure?

As I know, for CFE variant, its either 2k rebates or 3 years free service.
Exe CVT and Manual? There are no rebates nor free service package. You sure your SA telling u the truth?

The extra discount after 2k, would come from the dealer themselves.

I believe many has done but not have the chance to try the top speed. If I remember it correctly, Allen is coming to KL today. Maybe he did tested the new ECU/TCU setting's top speed.

Tomorrow morning will drive down.
Still in Ipoh today.
Will be in EA tomorrow evening, after 4 or 5pm whistling.gif

I dun drive fast.....
Max also 150/160 only.
Preve isn't design to drive 200km/h constantly.

Just want to make sure 120-150km/h no issue with latest mapping, for those who following my post in prevoc FB, I have remapped ECU/TCU twice.

EA? Ya. Go get some racun behind heading back to Ipoh after dinner wink.gif

First mapping, tried on highway, 120 to 150km/h, the car barely able to accelerate even at full throttle.

City driving experience is great somehow. Did mapping few days ago.
Tomorrow will have long stretch of 200km++ to test wink.gif
