Just my opinion...

I always read from forum that preve exec cvt is tooo slow, non-responsive.. and while reading that I will always regret getting exec cvt variant..

But when driving in my car, i always thought "well, it's actually not that bad"...compared to my ex-car (vios 06) there's not much difference in performance..

Back to the forum, read again...then regret again...

Get back in my car, then satisfied...

Then regret when reading, then satisfied when driving...

For me it's more on the 'perception' and proton needs to improve on that. They can somehow provide remapping that just increase a bit on pick up or remap that do nothing...at least we can rest assure and think that there's actually "improvement" going on for exec cvt... If it's something to do with perception, even placebo effect also counts....unless there's major issue..

From my experience with vios previously, yes, no doubt it is a good car...it is practical, u drive it just like u drive a car...decent performance, decent service cost.. The handling is just like a car, will turn left if u pull the steering left.. So, to say, it is a complete product as a car.

However, few myth of vios that you have to know:
1) Vios guarantee noo problem.
- False. From signal bulb to drive-shaft, will probably face problem over time.. my right rear lamp burn for few times. Find out it is caused by water that got inside. Open the boot floor just to find out i've got nice aquarium inside. Power window clipping oso sometimes detached from the glass (happen to me after do re-tinted). Drive-shalf, after 5 years (or maybe less) will got issue. Few month before change to preve, mine already got kruk, kruk sound. Original vios drive-shalf is quite expesive over thousand ringgit, end up change it to china-made which cost rm170 only. Another small but annoying issue is the belting.. This happen in most vios. After few years will make sound. Change the belting, the sound back after few month. Retighten, then few weeks the sound is back..

2) It's fast!
- Not really true. Flooring only got 160 max (mine was E variant). My preve exec got over 170 during it's 400km mileage.

3) It's comfortable
- Not really true.. In city drive maybe... but at highway, u will fly...just little unnoticable bump on the road nearly got me flying. Was once drift my rear tyre when cornering to rush with traffic light. Luckily, i'm quite a driver..

4) Vios more safe, more solid.
- Compare it yourself, in the paper, or doing traditional slamming of the door in proton showroom later..

5) Vios got quality
- Nonsense. The panel gap, the interior, the details, it is inferior to preve. I can bet on that.

Vios always got this minor minor annoying issue, but the engine and the moving mechanism is quite reliable. Not once failed me during its service. It is a complete car. The ecosystem is superb. Almost every issue was covered up, and "turn" into non serious issue, though it cost quite a lot to address, technically.

Got no problem with my preve until now, hopefully it will always be so..
I usually recommend vios if people contemplating of the option. More dugong to play around later on.
IF i got the money, it's either forte or preve.

Last time my friend suggest me to change everything..including the pulley...end up i change the whole car.

Other car after you change the belting, the sound will not be there for another few years. But for vios, once it's there, it will always be there.

See the link there.. My SA told me there will be no hatchback for preve, so just buy the sedan. But then spyshot coming up already. haizzz...

Haha, im oso black exec cvt owner. Same reason, within my affordability, means car installment+services+fuel+insurance..

Regarding ecu remap, some said only cfe, some said later include cvt, but latest info include any model with cvt : preve cfe, exec cvt n saga flx..

I read this somewhere from prevoc facebook


Whatever it is, just wait lor... if other exec cvt able to do remap, and the outcome is good, then follow suite.
I've occasionally drive my car exceed 170 during running in period. It seems like i can get better fc by doing so. Over 170kmh, instant fc shows around 3-4L/100km only, compared to 8-15L/100km if drive below 100kmh. Luckily here got no aes.

IMHO, the only problem with cfe is the ownership cost: price+service+fuel+etc.. You pay for what u want.
Other than that, most of the hoo haaa already rectified and solved. The other minor problem seems fixable and i believe will be fix due..
In general, preve is a good car. If i can afford to buy cfe, i will go for it.
Its not really 'under power', instead, like someone has mentioned, a bit 'lazy' to move from stand still..some said it is improved after 10k. cant really comment on that since im still under 1k mileage..

mirage too small..but they said 'small is big'

Haha, preve is unique in general... more than that, it's unique individually.
Other car got apple and lemon.
Preve got everything from apple, durian, pear, grape, lemon, etc..
