about the rusty part at the exhaust part, can it be done at any service centre?

sometimes really frus when customers are waiting and see all technicians grouping together and do nothing..especially if it is just the normal service..

just now drove from south back to KL, the stupid AES camera keep flashing eventhough the cars are travelling within speed limit..not sure I kena flash or not, but i definitely was looking at the speedometer, travelling less than 90km/h ..

Good morning to all Previans..still enjoying the holiday ..

anyone tried sitting at the back of preve, moving along those taman uneven road...

notice the rattling noise on the speaker dashboard and the noise from outside is really annoying!! it is totally diff when sitting infront as the driver..

Preve need some improvement on the noise level inside the car if it wish to be a global car.....there are some other minor things not right about the car but I would just brush it aside since it is not much of a problem..ex: the front passenger door need to close harder than the rest, the boot of the car is not properly fit (a bit slanting, notice during my first wash on the car, was admiring the backside when I notice it ), 'krik krik krik' sound inside the car (still figuring out where the sound come from)..

How much is the magnetrap and what are the pros and cons?

Added on November 16, 2012, 11:12 ammy remedy for the 'ROAR' sound...be gentle with your accelerator ..never go beyond 2k rpm during move from stop position ..
and yes, it is like dragging a 10 tonne truck ... the only good thing is when I am driving, the noise can be overcome by turning on the radio loud, the dragging part, well, just treat it as drive slow and steady

what did you use for the DIY soundproof? Insuflex or Superlon? Try this for the fender noise

Go for the Preve Premium

The Preve Exec is totally a strip down version of the CFE..they even remove the bonnet insulation for the Preve Exec, I can't believe that!

Even though I would Preve is a nice car to drive but I feel that the Exec version is a dumb decision I made....many minor things have been remove..

And most of the car dealers do not have the test drive unit for the Preve Exec, so many buyers do not know the exact condition of the Exec CVT model..

The noise level in the Preve Exec CVT is terrible, reading the Paul Tan review on the Preve is definitely the wrong choice, they were testing a CFE test unit, which might have been different from the actual mass production units..

depending on your location, I bought from a PJ SA, friendly and easy to deal with, discount sure have, you just have to negotiate with him..

any sifu can upload photos on how to dismantle the Preve speaker dashboard at the rear seat? the rattling sound for the rear passengers is very annoying. Want to DIY some sound proofing..Malu when I drive my colleagues out for lunch...

Go for the Premium! More discount than Exec now, more power, more features, 3 years labor service FREE...and lastly, join the huge Preve CFE group here..

A bit regret buying the Exec and not the Premium, but I enjoy driving my Preve Exec to work everyday

I own a preve exec as well. your rattling dashboard is during rev the engine more than 2k rpm? or rattling all the time? I have this rattling dashboard during rev up the engine to 2k rpm from standstill but not too serious. I would rather not have the SC dismantle the dashboard and re-assemble back, might cause other problems later..my speaker dashboard at the rear also making rattling sound, going to do some DIY on my own this weekend

good for you, free breakfast..

what happen to your ecotint?

BTW: Anyone know where to get the original bonnet sound insulation for preve exec, can get it from Proton or any Preve CFE who wants to sell??? only premium have it..damn ..why Proton have to remove all this necessary things for the exec?

looking at the spare part lists in the Preve and saw this

48 [All] Bonnet Insulation PW931919 RM0.00

duh..no spare part price for the bonnet insulation

fucuk the cose personnel la...this is the problem we consumer are facing from Proton, need to take leacve from work just to rectify the problem..and cannot solve..need to go back so many times..

or just leave your preve there for them to settle the problem once and for all, and ask them for a replacement car so that you can go to work..

Jerie mouse == V12Kompressor? Wait I korek korek from him..but i need to ask the Proton stokis how much first

This kind of SC really makes Proton name bad...can complain to the HQ? If the HQ also like this, then Proton can go pack and close shop...

1. My car also have - does not bother to complain
2. Not sure, have not look yet but got 'tak tak tak' sound when I use it during rainny day...I think it is the shorter one that cause the sound
3. nothing wrong with mine
4. mine is ok..
5. never on my aircond pass medium speed .. (go to work early in the morning, leave work late evening..rainy season..cooling)

Had a wonderful time driving home today in my Preve
Reason: On the music to level 20...listen to my favourite songs...all the 'tak tak tak' , gluk gluk gluk , tik tik tik, dahsboard vibrate, all cannot hear already...

My Preve Exec CVT clock at 9.8l/100km today (current mileage 871) , when I took my Preve on the first day 30min driving 25.6l/100km
The FC will go down as your engine starts to run in...

I think you better go for the premium if your budget allow..more features and only pay slightly more downpayment...I don't think the 0.xx FC will have any significant impact on your monthly petrol bill..

Since you said you always trap in the traffic congestion (BUY PREMIUM!), be ready to accept the fact that the car will be slightly jerky (for my Exec) during low speed..read a lot comments saying that it is CVT issue..not sure whether the ECU/TCU can do something about this issue..

Added on November 21, 2012, 8:37 amAre you a first time car owner? If yes, then can have more discount, that's what my SA told me..I think got more rebates for 1st time car owner..

Nothing to big fuss about, some people prefer leather, some prefer fabric. I prefer fabric but my wife prefer leather..
The only downside of fabric is the dust...very dusty sometimes..as for the leather, it burns your butt if you put your car under the sun..need good tinting and cold aircond

All on individual preference
