My dad's new Preve CFE dont seem to have those rattles, build quality is generally good despite some minor flaws. The sound system is not that good because to me it doesn not sound like there are twitters, so the sound abit muffled. FM reception is abit blurry for some reason. The engine sounds quite rough at low revs, and it will rev to around 1.5k rpm when starting from standstill. I guess it is the clutch of the CVT3. But when it got going, the CFE engine is really strong. The car is also very stable at speed. Well, it has exceeded my expectations and I cant wait to drive it when I return to my home town (studying in Kamapr).

Some opinion after driving the Preve CFE for few weeks, the engine quite willing, love the handling, the front very stiff, so it turns in very well. Ride quality is quite "continental", abit hard but not stiff enough to be jarring. The CVT feels abit funny since it masks your speed really well, sometimes I speed accidentally since the engine sounds unstressed. Not sure the car has the remapped ECU or not since it is not my personal car. The FC is sort of terrible in city drive, 7km/L only but it includes some "testing sessions conducted in high speeds".
Unfortunately I did encounter some Proton signature build quality, which means that the front driver window has a funny sound when used in a hot day, The Head unit/GPS keeps ejecting and then pull the CD back in continuosly, slightly uneven panel gaps, and flimsy plastics.
Besides, anyone thinks the seats are mounted quite high in the car? I drive with the driver seat at its lowest position and it still feels auite lofty. The front passenger seat is even higher, like sitting in a MPV (maybe cause of the Exora platform?).
