Hi all im the silent reader here and yes im enjoy reading your chit chat n info sharing here biggrin.gif I bought the red CFE (chassis no 138++) one month and a half ago and Im so please with the overall peformance of this car n I manage to reach 200KM/h on SKVE highway using manual mode.

good to hear then. By the way, can u guys share some finding, between full cvt mode versus full manual mode(by pulling to the left)and also sat for iafm+ version versus full cvt mode, the diff in feeling during take off in the 1st gear, from standstill to move. Urs finding is highly appreciated. Tqvm.

Im a big fan of manual/semi auto mode.. biggrin.gif I always switch to manual from stand still (slalu pas bayor dlm toll booth) and then press the car as hard as I could. Even with full manual mode, I really feel the real lag in gear 1 and I need to pedal shift gear 2 earlier to avoid smells something funny from my engine. So what can I say, maybe gear 1 was so short so I need to shift gear 1-2 around 2k-3k rpm. After that normally I switch gear around 3.5k rpm to feel the umphh.. However i still dunno what the best rpm to switch gear perfectly so I hope u guys can shed some light to me:D

Greetings Preve owners,

Currently I'm seriously considering for Preve CFE so I need you guys to advice me on how's the usage so far ? In terms of fc, handling, after sale services, etc. Asking outside opinion will result to bashing, so I need user's opinion. Does the turbocharged has the umph feel ? Please advice notworthy.gif

Im not so sure about FC and after sale services.. In terms of handling, I can say its very good because it have ESC (electronic stabiliser control) which many car in the same class didnt have.. Sy pernah nearly hit the small divider pillar on my right (didnt see it because of darky night) and my reflex drastically move the steering to the left but somehow the ESC help the car stablize my car by steering it back to right and balance the position of my car...

tak ada pop corn time pun..

come to think of it, we need to :-

-put paper to stop dashboard vibration
-tie fuel line hose to reduce mounting vibration
-put 3m tube to reduce sound noise
-put play doh to reduce wind sound
-cut carpet to pedal down more
-what else...

woit ! Proton designer tido kah?  Please read this thread to improve la..

some more got issue like.

-gluk gluk sound when travelling at 90kmph and above <-- Me only hear that when reaching > 120kmph
-windows klek klek sound going up and down
-over cranking sound when starting <-- Yess this happened to me quite often.. They issued the part replacement for my car but until now (3 weeks) no call from them to send my car to Manjung SC
-asap smell in cabin <-- Haha I always smell asap in the cabin when I push my car hard/over rev maybe
-air cond noisy sound when blowing <-- Not sure about this one but air cond smoke quite bugging me sometimes (I always on/off air cond because too cold tongue.gif)
-tank holder rusty
-seat berbulu
-seat noisy goyang goyang like want to cabut already
-wiper hitting frame when high speed
-windows panel bulging when roll up
-door welding spot rusty
-car jerking when slow down
-head light not balance
-steering shake when do hard braking
-boot auto open
-engine mati when reverse
-engine cannot start <-- sometimes happen but definately can start when I push the button for 2nd times.
-engine cannot mati <-- LOL this thing happened to me after three days I took my car. I asked Manjung SC head technician about this and he carefully explained to me this problem may occured when I bypass push start button procedure (3 steps actually). Not happening again after I follow these steps


I sincerely hope we don't hear any more complaints as above for new batch..or else how to go global..Almera also claimed to be global car..

Is there a almera thread in lyn?

-Left folding mirror hitting the window glass
-engine bocor
-headlight goes dimmed at night
-cannot flash highlight at night
-back seat got noise <--Yup my passengers confirmed that when reaching moderate speed.. But nevermind that I ignored them because I always in the FRONT SEAT lol tongue.gif

Am I the only semi-auto/manual gear fan here? I just want to ask one question: Should there any 1st gear to 2nd gear switching laggg (using back pedal) if I remap to new ECU n TCU setting?
