QUOTE(allenultra @ Dec 6 2012, 12:21 AM) By using present value calculation with the current inflation rate, rebate is the way to go. My ride also got 5500 rebate RM5500 is impressive, never see such offer before. They selling below margin, throw more than they making. This is weird Its normal to have rattling noise in Preve. Visit your nearest service centre, they can minimise the rattling noise. Join Prevoc FB https://www.facebook.com/groups/preveownersclub/ Engine mounting MOD + turbo pressure hose mod aka german sausages will improve your driving experience.  thats why im quick grab for it. I joined the facebook group 2 months ago, saw alot diy from u guys, and wondering where to get the hose? Normal water hose cannot right? Cause cannot stand for the tempreture isnt is?Comparing with my vios 2003 ,NVH is alot worst especially noise from engine, my vios no rattling noise for 9 years  i checked the engine mounting and the vibration is scary  seat not as comfort as vios, preve seat too hard.... Even i saw alot complain from u guys, and i know these existing problem but i still hope for get a "less problem unit" Gear changing not as smooth as old 4 speed auto gerabox  But anyway the handling is quite good compare my old vios (installed UR Bar and sport absorber). The thing most amaze me is the Accelerate  the acceleration on par with volkswagen polo tsi alot ppl said that do not exceed 3k rpm during burn in period, but i cant resists the power of preve This post has been edited by JAYworm: Dec 6 2012, 11:01 AM |

QUOTE(maverickng @ Dec 6 2012, 11:24 AM) :blink:how not smooth for preve cvt?4 speed auto gearbox more smooth? Yup, i can feel little jerky.  i guess maybe the jerky is not cause by gearbox but from engineQUOTE(ryuken74 @ Dec 6 2012, 11:29 AM) maybe he meant during start from stop position or during low speed, slightly jerky.. Soft throttle still smooth, deep throttle will cause jerky and vibration the gear change is definitely smooth, can't feel any gear change |

QUOTE(ryuken74 @ Dec 6 2012, 11:19 AM) agreed...I do not know how they did the review saying the NVH is good! After one month of driving the preve, move from stop to start is slow, CVT issue? but can't really feel it happening on Inspira which is also using CVT, not comparing the engine capacity, the Preve need to wait for awhile before pressing the fuel pedal, whereas I don't feel that in Inspira, how come? I bet its cause by car weight and not the cvt gearbox, 1600cc pushing a 1300kg car is reluctantly Fuel consumption - comparable to my 2.0l car..especially these few days, jam like hell, fuel consumption is above average..(due to its weight maybe) (solution -start work early and wait until no jam then go home )NVH - i guess all of you already experience the noises, especially from the honda cub and express bus.., ratlling noise, front and rear dashboard(allenultra said it is normal for preve), tyre noise especially at the rear passenger side... (solution - going for STP soundproof if really cannot tahan) Seat - hard and uncomfortable...(diy - put extra cushion in the car )Good points - Door close very solid  Car very stable at high speed Since I am driving the Exec CVT - acceleration is definitely not there drive like an old unker now, slow and steady need to rev to 1500-2000 rpm to make it move, below 1500 rpm the car move too slow or the car jerky when above 2000 rpm.Fuel comsuption - 2.0 car normally have 1 litre/ 10km, i saw most preve owner getting this figures, luckilly i didnt sell my vios, working day drive vios and preve as weekend car NVH - i guess noise can be lower down if i managed to settle the engine mounting problem, the vibration cause alot noise. My 2nd tires will be continental CC5 as it working very well on my vios. The rear dashbord is nightmare for me but car roof sound proof is better than vios when raining.Good point - exterior car build quite solid, doors, bonnet, truck. Car abit harsh at low speed, but stable at high speed. Acceleration very well, nvr feel any underpower at slope. Alot feature, im amaze with the gps, good sound system  Still not regret getting preve as my second car, after get rid the problem prve definately a great car This post has been edited by JAYworm: Dec 6 2012, 01:12 PM |
