hi all,

can everyone share with me their experience on:

1. how the cabin noise in preve cfe compared to 1st gen myvi at these car speed:
a. not moving/idle,
b. 60 km/h,
c. 120 km/h,
d. 170 km/h.

2. excitement of driving preve cfe compared to gen2 thru Ayer Hitam-Mersing road. (if any)

3. it is true that normal servicing of a proton preve cfe is costlier than honda city/toyota vios?

-i haven't driven a preve cfe before. exora bold cfe, yes.
-once a month i'll go to mersing.
-i'm interested to know the running cost of these 3cars. inb4 -their in different class.

TQ for the reply. i'm somehow leaning towards solid white. seen one with a bodykit before and instantly hook me.

wait until 10k service,then its optimum then. for preve iafm,the weight did hampered its city drive. and rm50 is old price,now around rm55. and its on average.

but i can give u a tip on how to juice up ur fc n understand how punch cvt work. apply to all,same as cfe.

in city traffic, when u stop at traffic n want to start moving,never press ur throttle 1st,wait until the car start moving or rolling bx itself n the rpm raise by 1krpm++,then u start to press the fuel pedal.

2nd, for punch cvt, there are 3 diff strategies applied.

no 1, 1k rpm to 1.6 krpm,torque being reduce a bit for ease of parking,crawling in traffic jam and driving around housing area when speed is only up to 40kmh max.

when u r crawling in traffic jam,stop n go movement when speed isnt exceeding 40kmh,just rev around that region.

no 2, 1.7krpm to 1.9krpm,or exactly below 2krpm,for city driving n slow hway cruising,the engine wil labour for optimum fuel efficiency,same as cvt ratio. yup its feel slow,but adequate enough in city driving where speed is not more than 80 kmh. so,if ur driving in town n traffic is smooth,only stop at traffic light,n after that smooth,then rev around this region.

no 3,2k rpm and beyond,this is when the character of cvt change,for cfe,of course feel like a massive torque,for iafm+,u will feel its power start to come.
the cvt ratio is more on agressive ratio,where low ratio is being given utmost priority,to ease overtaking,sudden acceleration,fully loaded, hill climbing etc. slam the pedal a bit beyond 2k rpm,even at 2.1krpm,u will feel diff feeling compare to below 2krpm, u can hear the cvt n engine roar a bit. this is where normally people will drive,but being cvt,that is not the most fuel efficient.

and since cvt, u will feel below 2krpm is really slow,but actually its not that slow. the speed still climb as conventional at at around 2k to 2.5krpm,due to smoothness,u feel it slow. thats why many kaki's dont like cvt,it doesnt give manly feeling same as manual or conventional auto or dsg.

and dont use sat function for iafm unless u know how to manipulate it. it may give better acceleration feeling,but just the feeling,not the speed.

try out urself,using sat,rev not exceeding 2krpm each gear,driving in full cvt mode,slam to 2krpm. cmpare the feeling and the speed.
