hey guys, the preve steering is quite heavy. any way to lighten it ???

Hello Preve owners 

1. Which of the variant gives better FC (1.6 Exec vs 1.6 Prem)? I want experience by owners and not numbers on papers.. city driving only, not on highways.

2. Which of the variant (1.6 Exec vs 1.6 Prem) give less problem to rectify upon the 1k service? I know Preve is problematic at first..

3. Does BA, Traction Control, ESC and Auto Cruise worth it?

4. IF P1 ever release Preve SE and/or Sapphire, when will it be? (assumptions)

5. I would appreciate more 1.6 Exec vs 1.6 Prem/ iAFM vs CFE answers hihi
Questions aside, I really think Preve is the best P1's car yet  Planning to get a Preve soon

Hey guys... I am soon to be preve owner.

Still deciding on the colour tho... Would most probably go for white.

Any advise on what to do first ?

Anything i can do to improve the fc?

i saw at the mudah. preve fitted with the NGV.

Hi guys,

After living with the Preve Turbo for about 6 days now, for me it has many strengths and very little weaknesses. For a mid-sized sedan at RM68k+/-, we get a solid and sturdy chassis and body structure that add to the safety and firmness of the vehicle. The ride and handling are above average and the acceleration power is comparable to most 2.0-litre sedans if not better, thanks to the Turbo engine. The car is loaded with features, a 7-speed manual gear transmission option with paddle shifters for more sporty ride(suitable for those who are in racing mood), a built-in GPS unit at the centre console which I find useful, though may attract thieves, cruise control which is useful in the highways(haven't managed to test it yet), and much more.

Rattling sound for a new car which is less than a week old is close to nil, touch wood, though some minor electronics problems whereby the hazard light(both left and right signal lights blink together) sometimes will go on by itself, and the Turbo engine sometimes will still continue running although the Start/Stop button is already pushed and the Smart key taken out from the slot. All these minor anomalies which I think are caused by the electronics of the car can be easily rectified by the service centre. Also, the long piece of plastic at the driver's side where the controls of the winding up and down of windscreen lie is currently a bit loose - hopefully this can be sorted out as well.

The fabric seats are a bit thin and hard if compared to other type of fabric/leather seats offered by other vehicles, but this is a minor issue. Perhaps this is one reason why the Preve can be sold at below RM70k.

My BIGGEST gripe or complaint on the Preve Turbo is on the loudness of the Turbo engine and CVT gear in the cabin. Even when traveling at low speeds of say 80km/h to 110km/h, the low frequency sound of the Turbo engine is quite audible, which spoils the comfort of the ride a bit. The PReve Turbo is not a very quiet car. Perhaps I am used to quieter cars, but anyway I guess this is a trait of vehicles that come with Turbo engines. Either the Turbo engine is not very well designed, or the sound insulation of the car is insufficient or of low quality. I am aware that some vehicles with Turbo engine can still be very quiet. One example is the Volkswagen Jetta which comes with a 1.4-litre Turbo engine. Not exactly a fair comparison though as the Jetta is almost twice the price of the Preve Turbo. One(1) VW Jetta can buy two(2) Proton Preve Turbo.

Anyway, to sum it up, the Preve Turbo still represents good value for money for those on a budget, those who want to use a vehicle to commute to work everyday with high standards of safety and good power and handling. However if comfort and quietness are your priority, I'd suggest you to look elsewhere. The Turbo engine is pretty noisy.

A stock PReve CFE, the noise can be from engine, CVT gearbox, tyre, road noise.

Front doors soundproofing (more to vibration damping consisted of 3 layers, [door skin, door frame, door trimboard]) will greatly enhance the audio quality and also reduce road noise.

Engine and gearbox noise, will reduce by a bit after some oil change. Let the engine runs in for a while. Else consider firewall, wheel arch and floor soundproof (I consider this expensive, I only do the floor panel)

In a Preve, to let it get quiet the fastest way will be change the lousy BAX2. It is one of the noisiest type u can get in the market.

BAX2 RM280 per piece.
Primacy3 ST around RM430 to RM440 per piece
PS3 will be RM500 per piece or more.

You sure just top up a bit?

I would strictly recommend Goodyear Eagle F1 Directional 5, around RM360 per piece for 205/55/R16.

damn,..im curious whether the HU on suprima s can be directly installed on preve

One more thing about the interior of the Preve Turbo. The arrangement of the air-cond vents, the dashboard and heat unit and the glossy dark wood panels in the car. To me, it definitely looked better than the Japanese models below RM100k. I actually thought it looked nicer than the dashboard and head unit of the Ford Focus. The fabric seats of the Preve Turbo is the only letdown when talking about the interior. Everything is quite good.

i think it will be abit tedious if change suprima leather seat to preve, as the rear headrest thingy is different, u need to change the whole rear seat..this would cost quite an amount of money... and also provided the rear seat on suprima has the same fold down clip as on the preve..besides that, if you change it to leather seat..the door trim panel need to be changed to match the interior too..unless u dont mind fabric door trim matching with leather seat..

so the only thing hopefully we can change is the suprima HU
