Preve PW = Saga PW
Preve Side Mirror = Persona side mirror
Preve door handle = Persona door handle?
Preve Exec CVT engine = Proton Saga 1.6 SE engine

... etc...  laugh.gif

Proton should use Persona PW design instead as the design complete different with saga PW and no complain from my bro-in-law (driving Persona)...
i guess 1 way ticket on Preve by Proton.. sad.gif

About the power windows, prtn already acknowledge that. Its the buldging issue, not the power windows not working issue.

i agreed wasn't the PW components issues, instead it is the door design and PW design issues...

It can be rectify easily if only motor failure or weak bracket or cheap cable which can go for aftermarket parts, but not for design as the mould is there already and it will cost a bomb for another new mould... even though allowed with new mould to new frame again, it may lead other issues such as redesign door panel, relocation door knob, door reliability, etc... guess proton only can minimize it by modify and strengthen the existing door frame...

also the reasons Proton can offer 10 years is the PW is almost fully metal structure, doesnt have plastic stuffs (bracket, roller, holder, etc) around as plastic stuffs easily to get crackes after years... the most is the motor failure due to the wear and tear...

i dun really notice the "pregnant" when roll up window...will try later, but i dun bother actually, even my brother's Avanza also having the same situation but still working fine for more than 7 years.

Just simply put your arm on the hand rest (door panel) and roll up...
should be PW design problem as avanza have the same design too...

Thanks for the video. Actually I saw the video before, never go check my PW. Is this "pregnant" thing cause the "gluk" x3 sound??
*

Bulging Outwards is PW and door frame design problem... afraid it can't be solve, only minimize...

glukX3 sound should be the coil spring issues... can be solve for short term but readjust and greasing...

doesnt quite help since difference is still 10k since exec also given same discount. sad.gif really couldnt afford it

bro... i tell u... dont spend SO much of money for your first car...
dont forget you may have family and house in the future...
i strongly suggest u keep so money in your pocket to get non-liabilities stuff instead...

i forced to get myvi 6 years ago bcos no launched new saga yet as maintenance issues on my family car as i travel often for work...
otherwise i will go for new saga instead as cheaper price compare to myvi...

luckily, i still manage to get a DSL house and my salary enough for family + 1 baby...
problem is i still that poor even thought my salary have triple jump from 1st salary... sweat.gif

Now i forced to get bigger car due to family commitment... otherwise i still stick with my current car instead...

I agree. I think it is a great car. Just the quality and reliability...

but wondering what so difficult for P1 to release a upgrade package since Forte also have leather seat and airbag inside the seat too...
i think nothing about technical issues that may cause the air bag failed to deploy...

but may go for other car instead if still no leather seat (even after market) as worry my children pour beverage on car seat and caused the stain... doh.gif

My driver seat already pending for > 3 months...i have went there few time this few months to complaint..they always said Vendor currently out of stock, have to wait next year 2013 for new stock....  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

2013 is coming soon, later don't know what is the story again...
*

maybe they are no supplying the problematic seat and asked vendor to supply another quality seat...
but of cos it may take some time to negotiate in between as the cost of quality seat may increase but P1 no willing to bear the additional cost...

2. Im not satisfied with the preve Seat, not comfort, tried Inspira Seat more comfort...almera too more comfort. my previous Gen 2 Highline 2005 more comfort.
3. Minor problem on Proton Car happen again..last time my Gen 2 problematic Power windows...My Preve too...same prob..

i interested on Preve also, hope they will do revision along with new hatchback by offering leather seat and minor tuning on PW...

PW should not be a big issue now. It is solvable. I got my gluk gluk sound when windows going up/down and bulging settled at SC.

I think if you want power and safety go for PREVE. If you want comfortable and quiet engine go for ALMERA.
*

glad to heard it solveable... anyway, i dont mind those funny squeezy sound which may unavoidable in future too, still may go for Preve later...
such as my boss driving BMW 535 GT, have squeezy sound too from seat bcos the leather seat & interior cover friction each others while car moving...

QUOTE(diadokmai @ Dec 25 2012, 07:45 PM)
ya lo..i really hope can get the leather like inspira P...very soft and very comfortable... sad.gif

lets wait for 2013 hatch back version, hopefully they have leather seat packages that time... smile.gif

I heard Almera save fuel but no power. I heard Preve got ESC can't skid, not sure Almera have that.

I heard Preve is powerful car, can easily smoke people. What do you think if compare with Almera?  hmm.gif

almera = point A to B = faamily usage
preve = speedy + safety = driving enjoyment

i can wait till end of 2013 and see that time how... smile.gif

QUOTE(diadokmai @ Dec 26 2012, 04:20 PM)
i tried on small downhill..a little bit...i can change the gear from 4 to 5 as long as the RPM is above 2k...

never tried on long downhill like Bukit Gantang or Cameron...

gear 1 - 2 engine noise will like going to explode lo...
but i realize when using manual the RPM is a bit higher than normal...even in gear 7...when change to D from gear 7 the RPM is slightly decrease...
and i feel FC using auto (D) is much more saving than using manual protronic...rarely use auto (S)
*

tried to depress some petrol pedal while downhill? will it suddenly shoot from 2k to 3k rpm?
i guess it may just a "free play" only but the CVT doesn't engaged to wheel directly...
happened to my colleague 10 years old CRV, no engine brake at all from genting downhill... doh.gif

how about u tried to high speed at D mode, dont shift to manual and press the + paddle shift instead... will the rpm get higher?
if yes, then means have another virtual gear which is higher ratio than 7th gear...

technically is NOT... once signed, means the payment should transferred to Proton for purchase...

unless u means JUST signed then u still can cancel by calling banker stop to proceed the agreement before payment transfer...
