All this color is subjective as different people will like different colors. For me, white is nice color, followed by silver. But white is solid and not metallic, so difficult to maintain the color. More care is needed to keep the white in tip top condition. With time, the white may lose its shine and turn yellowish. Having said that, other metallic colors will also lose its shine, but the effects may not be as obvious as solid white.

Silver is evergreen and a care-free color. Easy to maintain. If dirty, just use water is enough. Silver is also nice to me.

All other colors - red, black, gold, blue, are an acquired taste. Either you like it or hate it.

For me, the white looks best(disregarding disadvantages), followed by silver.

yes, Preve HU unit does ready for reverse camera... warranty wont void...
i installed it at EA autowork when the second day of my car...


bcos inside ur car is warm but cold rainy outside due to the differences of temperature, tat why cause the hog...
simply blast the air con with lowest temperature immediate solve the hog as hot air "removed" from inside your car...

yeah u're right. it is a subjective matter. i love the solid white,but very very afraid it will turn yellowish. As i stay in an apartment and had to park in open space under direct sunlight, i'm afraid the car will lose its shine faster. Black and fire red are also in consideration.

I've just obtained a sms from Yes Proton. I tried login and password in with the details provided on yes.my website, but it says my login details does not work.

I saw the info on the 1st page about the yes 4g, and I went directly to the login page, which was the same page I tried before.

How do I make this thing work?

price u may contact with ea...
mind u dat it doesnt require much workmanship to install a reverse camera.
but the professionalism dat i'm after.

when i blast the aircond to full, another problem arise, the outer window will fog.including the side mirrors.
thus i was thinking using anti fog (inside) and glaco (outside).
so if this is not a good idea, i may back off....

just blast air con for short only until the temperature of car cabin and external environment until the balance level...

as long as there have differences of temperature of car cabin and external environment, i can guarantee the hog will happened no matter how...

You bought the Preve Turbo, or Suprima S?

The login password is case sensitive. You need to key in the password in the correct small and capital letters as shown. If still cannot work, then you can try contacting your SA to see if he can help you with it.

MY SA printed out a sheet of paper in A4 from YES website showing the login and password for me. No problems logging in to the wifi.

heard from my friend that there's a discount last time he bought his preve cfe. total is 67k.

Suprima S.

I see. I will try again. It says in the sms RM0 at the beginning of the sms. I got a sms, no A4 paper. I have not collected car anyway, so have not seen SA

i c...will try dat later... thanks...

I got lower than that due to my 5 years NCD, 65.5k something

wah, without ncd it should be around 66k is it? have a few cars in mind, and preve is on the list.

Without NCD it would have been 67k like you mentioned before

My advice for you, forget everything other people say about Preve (or Proton in general) and test drive for yourself, and you'll find out why majority of us here ditched the Japanese brand cars of the similar price tag For my case alone, I gave up Elantra and Civic, the former was for non-satisfactorily driving experience, and the latter was because of Preve offered more values to me, and I saved around 40k

lol the only car in my mind last time is suprima, preve, and saga se. ditched the suprima for being out of budget.

i guess Preve CFE should be best for value if ignoring for high FC due to big & heavy car chassis...
the CFE engine quite "relax" on 110-120km/h and heavy car chassis provide high speed stability...

i used to drive myvi last month and only cruise 90-100km/h only due to its capabilities...
but now not issues for 100-120km/h+ with preve...

I got no regrets getting a Preve Turbo. Best value for money.

Stable and good road handling. Pickup a bit slow of the line due to the weight but once it starts moving, it can hold it's own even against a RM100K Japan model.

Most issues can be fixed after the 1st visit to SC so nothing major to worry about.

The quality is much improved compared to past models so best is test drive one yourself, and get someone else to drive while you seat at the back.

Yes, the Preve Turbo truly represents value for money at RM69k. If it comes with soft leather seats and a less noisier Turbo engine/better soundproofing at critical areas, to me it is unbeatable in its class up to RM100k sedan category. Anyway for the price, there is not much you can complain. Certainly value for money.

I have owned the Nissan Sylphy 2.0(RM115k+) for nearly 6 years(just sold off recently) and a Ford Focus Titanium on the way. The Preve Turbo's ride and handling are better than the Nissan Sylphy - the vehicle is more firm and stable, and the steering isn't as light as the Sylphy. Performance on the highways and especially taking sharp corners, the Preve Turbo is more stable. The areas where the Preve Turbo lost to the Nissan Sylphy is in comfort levels - the latter is much quieter(mainly quiet engine) in all driving conditions and more comfortable in having thick and plush leather seats. Comfort-wise the Nissan is king, but in areas of driving dynamics, the Preve Turbo has the advantage. In the end it depends on what the person is looking for in a vehicle.

I've just had a short test driving session of the Ford Focus, and in my mind as good as the driving dynamics of the Preve Turbo gets, the steering feel and handling of the Ford Focus are a notch higher. More precise steering feedback and firmer but still comfortable suspension setup of the Focus.

Bottomline, in my mind the Preve Turbo competes very well with vehicles up to RM100k in areas of handling and driving dynamics. It usually loses out slightly in areas of refinement in the (slightly) noisier Turbo engine and less comfortable fabric seats. However, it gives much more in areas of performance, features and safety. Really solid car. When you shut the doors you just feel a solid thud and firmness to the vehicle. You try closing the doors of an Almera or Vios. You feel a certain lightness, a feel of vulnerability(sorry for the lack of better term). The heavier weight of the car contributes to higher fuel consumption, but that is what that is expected from "better" cars. In summary, the strengths outweight the weaknesses.

I would definitely take the Preve Turbo over the bread and butter models in the similar (or higher) price range if FC is not an issue - Toyota Vios, Honda City etc. I am not a fan of Korean cars, and to me, the Preve Turbo represents much greater value than the Kia Cerato too.

Before I forget, I mentioned earlier I would take the Preve Turbo over the Toyota Vios or Honda City. In reality, the Preve Turbo should be compared to vehicles in the same class - Honda Civic, Toyota Altis and Nissan Sylphy. Sure, the Preve Turbo may lose out in certain areas, mainly in refinement, but when you look at the price, you will realise the value you are getting with the Proton.

i'm thinking to buy my first car. i have set my mind the price should be around 60k+. After some readings, i have listed 3 cars: Preve CFE, Mitsubishi Attrage and Nissan Almera.

CC: 1.6 vs 1.2 vs 1.5
Segment: C vs B vs B
Engine: Proton vs Mitsubishi vs Nissan

Let put aside FC, second value, spec, safety and design of the cars. I'm not rich, so i want to use my first car as long as i can like 15 years to 20 years if possible. Maintenance cost is also my main concern here, not sure which one is better. Is 1.2 good enough for Sedan car? i have read about Ford 1.0 ecoboost engine and some reviewers claims that this engine is powerful than current 1.6 engine Ford has. Not sure about 1.2 cc with Mitsubishi engine. i may have to travel outside of city frequently, so the car i will buy is not only for city drive. Ford, Toyota and Honda are above my budget, so i will not consider that cars.

To summarize, i need a car with:
1. long term use
2. low/good/easy maintenance

Hope you can advise/assist me on this, please.

Err... you come to this thread, so I think you'll get more Preve-biased advices

Nevertheless here's what I thought to answer your two points. Long term use and easiness are contributed by mainly the spare parts availability. The way things are now, Preve and Almera are quite abundant on the roads, so both of these cars are easy to maintain. I don't know for Almera, but for Preve roughly you'll need around RM200 for normal service including the engine oil, every 3-4 months. Almera FC is not that great as my colleague told me, in fact he's considering two sell his 4 months old Almera for a Vios. Preve is technically a '2.0' C-Segment car, you need to expect how this kind of car is guzzling the fuel, normal for its class (along with Civic, Forte and Altis).

For long term use, it's hard to gauge considering all these three cars are still new in the market, Almera and Preve being barely over one year old. You'll find city driving is quite drab for Preve, but once you hit above 80km/h, be watchful of how you step your paddle so not to get captured by speed trap camera, this car is hungry for acceleration on highways
