ok thanks.

But I am going back to hometown tomorrow night, so don't think will have time to go to SC. Is it dangerous to drive the car when there is the helicopter sound?

No problem, just keep a distance from car in front in case brake not makan. This is a common problem

maybe its not just you... i tried to emergency brake from 100 to 0 and it seriously even i slam the brake paddle i still feel that it is so soft... sometimes in emergency case maybe need to incorporate both engine braking and the disk brake
*
You might feel the braking power is lagging right? This is abs, all i can say is u feel the brake like not makan but it still able to stop your car faster than non abs brake system. The non abs system brake u feel very makan because it lock your wheel, u already bang something in front if u are using lousy tires. Try to press the pedal linearly so that u wont activate the abs, in this case u will feel the brake makan like non abs car. Tested by myself icon_rolleyes.gif

I have tested my sister Honda city and BMW e90 325 both with abs also but it give me the response that I wanted.tha main reason I choose preve is because of all the safety features but it seems that it not impress me at all, anyway will sent to sc change the other side of brake rotor. Hopefully it will give better response
*
Lol emergency brake is not feature. Maybe after change disc rotor get rid of the helicopter sound when braking, i will test the brake and let u guys know later icon_rolleyes.gif

i actually suspecting the right brake rotor giving me problem. It does improve the braking power after changing the left brake rotor and reduce the helicopter sound but still got some helicopter sound when try to brake from 80km/h and above. previous was when try to brake at 40km/h the sound was too loud.

now need to wait after cny only can sent to sc whistling.gif

Any of you know how much it costs to replace this cracked part? Happened while installing my reverse camera.
Looked thru the spare part price list but im unsure what is the name of this part.
Might be kind of hard to see in the pictures, but it looks worse in real life, and can be felt with fingertips

Just the gray U shape part, try to order from sc

Today I can test the power of Preve. The power is superb and linear. Want to go to 200km/h is like makan kacang.

I piss off a Civic. He can't chase me at all. After awhile I let him overtake and follow behind him. His max speed only 180km/h +. Speedcut lol.

Then a Kia Optima new model follow behind me in very near distance. I let him overtake then follow him back. He can't even get rid of me lol. Not long I overtake him and speed to the max. He also can't chase me haha. By that time my speed is already 200km/h +.

PREVE IS THE BEST!!! Not regret buying it. I think I will regret if I choose Almera lol.

FD2 is honda civic 2.0 type R i believe...

if type R confirm cannot beat la Preve, but youtube all video show top speed around 200km/h only for honda 1.8.. preve ppl drive until 200km/h+ also, i believe is equal la if 1.8. O tried 160km/h on preve also no problem.. anything above never try, becos i hit 160km/h and brunei biggrin.gif then ahead is roadblock, kena saman malaysia dollar rm150 biggrin.gif

QUOTE(didot @ Feb 12 2013, 07:09 PM)
Fd2 is normal 2.0. Civic type r is fd2r. We can accelerate faster thn civic 2.0. Even neo cps also can. But, they have better top speed thn us. But when they achieve 200kmh, we already far ahead.
*
Ya, I here talking about normal unmodified Japanese car here. If compare 110kmh to 200kmh, I don't think any brand of Japanese car or Korean car can beat Preve. Pls don't talk about type r cause it is the sport edition. I drove T N H brand before, Japanese car good in low rpm power, but no mid & end power. I choose Preve over N & M brand because of the power with handling.

Pls compare +-1.8cc. U go compare 1.6 with 2.0cc+ for what doh.gif. Common sense la.

Talking about Murano, I also can't chase an Audi segment like Murano too. Those car power is insane.

Pick up lose to jap? Nonsense, we only lose the feeling because of cvt, try drag race with m or h or n or t with 2.0cc. Then judge yourself who will reach 100km/h first. I drive jap, korean and german also lol. Preve can beat those thrid class t, n, h, & m car. But german, err..long way to go.

Pick up still own by Japanese car. Those cvt vvti vtech mivec technology is meant to built on the power from low rpm.

Preve is not bad. But I am not sure if all the serious bugs issues has been fixed or not. you need to check the Preve forum to find out if major problem has been fixed or not. Preve is a good car. But I just don't believe the way potong run business. I know now is DRB-HICOM, but we need more time to observe and only will know whether they will do well. In the past, they don't give me good impression. There are many model of car they introduced to market but after a while, they just abandon the car and make the car like a rubbish. For example Juara, Tiara, Savvy, and so on. The consistency is not there. Only time can tell whether they really improve the way they run business.

I owned the Iswara before, the time I bought with RM38k. After 1 or 2 yrs, they dropped the price to RM28k. That make the iswara resale value dropped like a hell. This is something that I lost confident to Proton.

I say NO NO to them even now. I don't want to put myself into trouble again. They have to spend at least 3-5 yrs to gain back the reputation and people's confident to them.

I respect your father. But and then who will drive the car most of the time, if you are the one, and you will pay for it, I suggest you make your own decision. You pay as what you get. Of course must consider whether you are affordable or not.

Prius C is good. But the way UMW give 3 yrs warranty on the RM10k battery really make us like an idiot. They now become blood sucker and we cannot blindly support them. Also, you must understand once the battery spoilt, your prius C cannot run anymore. But for Insight, the car still can run without batter.

Again, test drive the car and find the best for yourself. If you seek advice for your dad, buy car for your dad, then better let him make decision.

Before I bought Preve, I am driving Waja. At first I think my next car won't be proton. Proton so far no major engine problem just some accessories problem. I had test drive M & N car. I don't go for H cause expensive maintenance & T model is too old. After I test drive M & N, I go test drive Preve for fun. I don't believe I choose Proton again after test drive. Proton Preve is a massive improvement in terms of handling, feature, power & quality. I would say the quality is not up to par with M & N but beside that, Preve in on top of M & N almost everything. That's my experience.
