Toyota and Perodua using electric power steering which is much much lighter compared to hydraulic power steering.

But hey, everybody have their own preferences...

from my internet reading,

proton did study to implement the EPS years ago,
but they found out that EPS was hard to be tuned to have "that HPS feeling".

looking at the spare part lists in the Preve and saw this

48 [All] Bonnet Insulation  PW931919  RM0.00

duh..no spare part price for the bonnet insulation 

I have no kampung to balik...

mari i punya kampung TT

Hahaha...
I wish i have another car i can use for city-driving...but too bad...i don't.
Use my Preve everywhere...

On another note...
Depending on your 'emotion'...you may drive like a maniac at times and the CFE does reward you with it's handling.
The fuel however...so so only~~~ 
The harder u press, the more fuel it burn...except for long-haul journey, in which it is very fuel-efficient...

So, if any one is still contemplating whether to take the Exec or Premium...go for the Premium...seriously... 
It has the power when u need it and it's rather equipped with the necessary stuff that we need nowadays like ABS, Airbag etc...

I own a preve exec as well. your rattling dashboard is during rev the engine more than 2k rpm? or rattling all the time? I have this rattling dashboard during rev up the engine to 2k rpm from standstill but not too serious. I would rather not have the SC dismantle the dashboard and re-assemble back, might cause other problems later..my speaker dashboard at the rear also making rattling sound, going to do some DIY on my own this weekend

Mine rattle when driving at uneven road and also during rev up engine 2krpm. The noise come from center, right side and behind meter panel.

2 times go to cose but not settle.

hi guys, wondering anyone got proton car loan which is flexi type?

looking at the spare part lists in the Preve and saw this

48 [All] Bonnet Insulation  PW931919  RM0.00

duh..no spare part price for the bonnet insulation 

like today u happy u pay 1k...u not happy u pay 500?
u soong u settle in 1 shot...u beh soong u go for payment holiday?

i would suggest for preve CFE even though i'm manual freak...

i went to nissan show room ytday night have a look for almera... the car built quality does impress me, no doubt but seem the engine may difficult to maintain as air intake hose going thru the top of engine and the car chassis design similiar with myvi (torsion beam and 1000kg kerb weight only) which only suitable for casual / city driving as my opinion, preve is much better and heavier for high speed... hence almera the only 4AT which lack of power, may end up 5MT instead... compare almera 5MT RM67k (kosong car) and preve 7AT RM73k (full features), preferably go for preve instead... hence almera look a bit cramp for me too as i got long leg and doesnt comfortable for me, also look "emptiness" due to lack of features...

but preve's FC (turbo tuned engine) and maintenance (you know i know) are questionable... maintenance i have no issues as i like to DIY to solve any small matters by myself... resale value are difficult to judge, AMO just 10% differences compare good & bad resale value... but if planned to drive it more than 10 years, no need to consider on resale value at all, just look on the year end discount (to clear off this year car), spare part availability and spare part pricing will do, i guess preve still the winner here...i afraid almera will be another Vios that too much of batches and models released and certain spare parts only for certain batches only (if no mistaken), even have the tuned IMPUL accessories from factory for almera too, total RM88k...    but so far seldom happened to proton and new spare part can use on older batches too as proton wont change the moulding too much and bulk production to reduce the manufacture cost...

but most probably i will get preve end of next year instead as preferably to wait for the rectification of common issues... hate to visit SC oftenly with new car...

No need so susah la. Go korek korek from Jerie. He has already replaced with STP. So the original is likely lying idle somewhere.

the wasn't the point, either song or beh song...
the key of flexi car loan is the interest are much lower compare to fixed car loan...

But, I think Almera sales pickup is better than our Preve.

SOS

Jerie mouse == V12Kompressor? Wait I korek korek from him..but i need to ask the Proton stokis how much first

there is no flexi car loan...only have FML (Father Mother Loan - 0%)  ..sorry..just joking..

no doubt, all my colleague thumb up Almera just now...
asked me to say NO to preve... 
as checked and double confirmed with my colleague... he recalled the SA's iPad calculator again...
9 years total interest RM7xxx; 5 years total interest RM3xxx

anyway, the price is based on Almera, assumed is the low spec RM67k...
the interest should higher than the figure as above if fixed car loan...
