stick to jazz hybrid is better,good in city drive,or vios also good is city drive,fuel save also
i choose preve becos i know what i need...
before i buy preve,in my list is,kia forte,hyundai elantra,inspira
and my budget is 90k
forte 1.6,no power...must buy 2.0...over budget,so out
elantra 1.6...i cant fit in rear seat..roofline too low,and all my family very tall 1,so out also
preve n inspira 1.8 only
last i take preve,becos it got esc over inspira,and can save abit money also...haha

did ur friend ask NO to VIOS too??? since almera and VIOS are same B segment... i cant brain why he as say no to Preve only??

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

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

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

Proton cars do not recommend any 5w30 oil for their vehicles somehow but I know where you can purchase them.

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.

Go buy from Suzuki service centre then.

Go purchase the 5w30 fully synthetic.
If you around Ipoh, I do have in my Suzuki service centre 
Else, you can check them here.

Yes only one type.

We only sell API SM grade, 5w30 semi (3litre and 4litre) and 5w30 fully (3litre and 4litre)

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.

forumer kiapreve already updated his car ecu/tcu at taman bukit maluri last last week...i tested his car also

and they changing his car 4 side power window also...

make sure u request them for ecu/tcu updated and also the power window recall

Yes I can understand, your travel journey is quite long, I also drive fast occasional, just a few second, I know this is potong stim, but don't have that much money to pay summons ler... 
My friend who used to drive from Penang to JB, most of the time driving at 140-160km/h, he said with the implement of AES, it going to take 10 hours to reach JB, better book cheap air ticket. 

Regarding Preve, actually my seat also berbulu here and there, and the spring inside the seat also making noise, this I have to agreed the seat in our Preve are quite low in quality. 
I wonder if anyone experience rain water drip inside while driving on heavy rain? Went to SC to fix this twice already, but the leak still there, they need how many complains only willing to maybe replace the door frame rubber (I can clearly see it out of shape)?

I'm a bit confused by the power window recall. When I read the bulletin, it says .. "Symptom - 1. Possible malfunction Front LH, Rear LH, Rear RH power window assembly."

By my understanding, 'possible' doesn't make it a mandatory recall. So, if it ain't broken, why fix it? Furthermore, their suggested recourse/fix is to simply apply grease to the coil spring to eliminate/diminish power window 'klak klak' noise during operation caused by the rubbing of the coil spring. No mention of replacing the motor unit. Also no mention of the driver's door bulging outwards.

yea la, like it goes dim very briefly. like kelip-kelip a bit. my mom asked me "did u flash the car in front? why?" -.-"

should it do that though? maybe i should get it fixed at the next service.

Haha.. LOL..

Of course it shouldn't. But u can always try ask the SC next time whether they are able to adjust that.
IMHO If the PnP one got side explode-able stitch sure, why not.
Uiks, thought the c pillar wind noise is a known issue and they have instructed SC to replace the rubber strip edy?
