I am a 6 month old Preve CFE owner. One month into my ownership, the CVT gearbox starts to make loud weird noises, and the whole gearbox was replaced under warranty.

6 month into my car here is what i notice.
-alignment pulls to the left, dont know why. I have the alignment specification for Preve and the guys adjust following it, it still prefer left side, but vainly nothing bad or to the annoying level.
-horrible rattling from right side of dashboard near the air cond vent area. Thought it was the metal clip of air cond vent, they took it out, took care the metal clip but the rattling noise was still there.
-horrible plastic like squeaking noise from the rear.
-Discover a new screw/washer rattling noise today, its from the rear also.
-FC is not as good as claimed.

No it doesnt mean Proton=Bad Quality. I am from a family who owns multiple Proton since the earlier model, maintain it well(maintenance cost is not high to begin with) and they are highly reliable.

All car have problems, go join all the owners forum and you will be enlightened.All cars are the same.

All i can say IMO know your spec, and pick the best car that suit your budget. Thats why i bought a Preve. It a big car/spacious for the $$ u paid, handles well, power is more then enough. T&H equivalent car is plain terrible joke.

If i can choose again will i buy a Preve ? No i will not. Just bcz i got bored with the car itself.
