QUOTE(zif @ Jan 18 2013, 01:06 AM) After Proton launched Proton Preve in Thailand last year. Headlightmag.com just already has reviewed this car. You can see this review here (Thai language) -> http://www.headlightmag.com/main/index.php...article&id=5088This is the first Proton car that this site ever review but reviewer (Mr.Jimmy) once tested Persona Gen2 Satria Neo and Savvy. The impression on these old models was quite awful. For Preve, he's really impressive, he say Proton is improving and this car has many things better than competitors. ther preve got different HU with us

QUOTE(dont8cum @ Jan 19 2013, 06:16 PM) Hey just to update with u guys. got my car yesterday iAFM + CVT. chasis number is 230XX. now there's a few question for me to ask the speaker volumn is 0-50 right? but i can switch it until maximum or not? will the speaker explode? and when i'm out, u press the lock button, the car will locked. Den if you press it again, the LED light will turn on. Why ah? To switch it off I have to unlock and lock again. Troublesome eh LED light will turn on a while only.. for safety when at night u wanna approach your car or after u reach home everything dark u need some light to unlock your house gate or door. it is call follow me home headlamp i think This post has been edited by Manlet: Jan 19 2013, 06:24 PM

QUOTE(pitalee2001 @ Jan 20 2013, 01:17 AM) AUDI tak dao how much lah, cannot compare. so preve RM70k dapat LED also good then body also look sexy, better look than Almera (weak design look, front look a bit like turtle), vios pula design more worst year by year (how come centre front more higher year by year), the best design is Forte and city but price is >80k, cannot compare ... so you must compare apple to apple. =( but our DRL hardly can see at noon when the sun is bright not DRL... ours is position lamp

QUOTE(allenultra @ Jan 20 2013, 01:41 AM) DRL designed mainly to counter mist condition happens in Europe even during day time, this is to increase the vehicles visibility throughout the days. A safety measure rather than cosmetic actually. thats why alot of malaysia production car or most of those model that was imported dont have DRL.. we not really need it

QUOTE(zaFrOoNaLdO @ Jan 20 2013, 03:56 PM) auto lamp is sunlight sensitive, not time sensitive. lol.. btw, its a good habit to switch on lights in shopping malls, other cars will know theres a car coming. that kind of sensitivity i think happens to most cars... ive tried lexus, vw, bmw. sumtimepass under bridge for less than 5secs also will auto on. soo, imo, its better that way rather than insensitive sensors. 1 more problem... wiper also too sensitive... when little bit rain it also swipe non stop.... dont have interval like at my persona where the wiper wipe like every 2 or 3 second

QUOTE(hullabaloo_bard @ Jan 20 2013, 05:06 PM) You set the wiper speed though. Adjust the sensitivity i adjust already using the stick... but think it sot already.. no matter i put slowest or fastst also like no effect ... when i put auto also the wiper wipe according to its own will.. need go SC check

guysss serious problem liao....
few days ago i drive drive and when i reach a very empty road i hand and leg itchy put s mode and revv happily
but out of a sudden i heard very loud *PLANGGG* sound coming from under my car, i thought its some stone hit the undercariage
but just now when i drive i realise my FC shot up from 10.2l/100KM straight to 13l/100KM
i suspect something wrong with my car maybe the stone hit something bocor or that sound is actually somethings longgar and hit something

QUOTE(stargate8 @ Jan 30 2013, 02:48 PM) for responsible adult with kids, always double check child lock is on. otherwise regret the rest of your life causing the death of your beloved child. ok some update, setapak branch called me, inform that my car still got oil leak, so meaning, bloody COSE didn't check and repair my car. so they wasted my time and money go there. job well done HQ proton. tech guy said maybe tomorrow afternoon can take my car, due to VVT socket oil seal leak. sigh. no wonder i saw oil spot on the floor. edit: oh btw, setapak sc got nano mist, very cheap only RM19.xx. so i ask them do for me. alot of SC also got nano mist.. also about the same price maybe +- little bit but i usually reject the offer lol

QUOTE(Pace @ Jan 31 2013, 08:49 PM) My colleague told me his girlfriend's sister very sick of her Fiesta. A lot of small niggling issue less than 1 year want to sell the car. These kind of people don't masuk forum. One less non proton car owner you don't see complaining about their car. Now chassis number 23xxx. So assuming Proton has sold 80% of the cars manufactured, that's alot of cars on our roads. To date, I haven't seen 1 Preve breakdown. All those owners I meet outside only thumbs up between their praises. I don't think these people are going to sell their car just because the power window got 'proton' syndrome. I buy Preve cos it's value for money. It's turbocharged with the internals to match. And if the cvt can't be repaired like 'how every other T H W brand manufacturer will do it, (I assuming cos people say Punch cvt fail send back to Europe), I know a manual gb to fit after I lower the boost and size up the turbine to start smoking every car on the road with an 'R' on it. (waiting for response from other brand owners........)  same same.... i rather buy a proton with rattling everywhere but better specs thn those so called imported car but with dinasour age spec

QUOTE(Pace @ Feb 1 2013, 01:28 PM) At least have not seen those got fish tank inside. Alot on the road but not Preve. Wonder if the water seapage could be from the back of the light inside the engine bay. The water could be getting past the rubber liner on the bonnet and into the height adjster. headlamp got fog can claim from proton wor.. right?
