Not fuel efficient..it consumes like a 2L NA..bout 10l/100km or 20cents per km..can even go up to 11-12L/100km..but then u save on the car price la
Its about 30 to 40k cheaper than a civic/altis/civic hybrid..so the savinga use to pump petrol lor...

Those FC are of CFE or IAFM variant? Worst than CPS sweat.gif

CFE....worse than my manual cps..not sure about auto though

Auto CPS also can do better than CFE which supposed to have a better FC due to healthy power to weight ratio and multi gear CVT.
Let see if the hatchback comes with manual transmission CFE. Wish it has a bigger wheel arches to accommodate 17".

Ya cfe is about 100kg heavier than cps but in return u get much safer car...esc, ebd, 4 airbags and a more solid chasis in cfe..so i think the higher fuel consumption is justifiable within proton standards la..anyway proton cars are never known to be fuel efficient in the first place

Not to mentioned the better handling and more composed ride of Preve. I am looking forward to the hatchback CFE manual (if any)...

Minus the CVT whinning and maybe better reliability on some hard driving uphill, yes.
Stuck in the jam, no.

Not sure what's wrong with Alza and its 'internal problems', but direct competition to Exora, the latter is much more comfortable to me laugh.gif

With that said, I had called Proton care line, they assured me installing reverse camera will not void warranty, as long as the chassis integrity isn't affected. However, I'm going to have them to sent me an email as a proof tongue.gif

Last time I ask the same thing at Proton Desa Tun Razak, the SA told me it will void the warranty of any electronic stuff related to it. Rear and reverse light, reverse sensor and so on as the wiring is related...lol.
Not on Preve though.

I guess it can be done only by Proton's authorized workshop?

I did ask the SA about this and he told me Proton authorized workshop also doesn't it. Even if they do,
it's more of a VAS. Do at your own risk but reverse camera should be a straight forward job for the experts.
Additional info ; I did ask about changing exhaust header and the SA said it void the car's warranty.
The bolt and nut marking(could be in red) on new car is there for a reason sweat.gif .
