hi all preve owner here. Im currently looking for new car. Preve is one in my list, just want to ask whether all the problem had been resolved? i know the major issue at the early batch already gone. How about other minor issue like sound here and there?

Buying a car is like winning a lottery, either hit jackpot (big problem) or consolation (few problems) or nothing at all (no problem)

All problems can be resolved but kena rajin - rajin go SC to fix (allocate time to do it).

Agree on it. I just wanna know how much work to do(to go sc or DIY) if get this car. Driving persona currently and it doesn't have major problem . I know this is a good car, currently choosing between this and Rio since first choice Inspira doesn't get loan approved by bank. Haha

DIY or SC up to you. For me, i send to SC 1st time did not resolve, lazy want to send again to refix. Just DIY what you can DIY, if major ones like mechanical or engine problem, no choice but to send to sc to rectify. I have OWV problem (not really a problem, just tak tak tak sound ) when starting engine, did not bother to send SC for 2 days to fix..ignore it.
If you are easily annoyed with Preve's problem stay clear from it and also the QC of the car...

It does not void warranty if it being done correctly.
The method to upgrade HU to a better unit is to purchase power socket converter of Bosch to the HU brand you desire. Eg. Pioneer, Alpine, etc

That particular socket may cost you around RM80 to RM100 each, it does not involve any wire temper.
This is safest method to upgrade your HU without voiding the warranty. Everything is just plug and play.

thanks your info. whole preve is good for me,just the HU a little bit let down. will consider if manage to get this car.

Hi everyone. Gonna get my Preve soon. I'm totally new to the auto world. Just wanna ask how does Champiro tyre do as compared to Goodyear?? Bumpy rides? Thanks in advance.
*
i think for confort ride, the best at entry lvl is Conti CC5 and Yoko Cdrive 2, if you have budget, Michelin also good. which Goodyear you compare with? i was searching about tyre last year, workman from tyre shop told Goodyear Direction 5 have good traction but very noisy~
