same old same old issues, which till now i have the time to visit sc again.
setapak sc now have new chief mechanic... i hope he can fix my preve issues once and for all.
have to leave my car there till tomorrow afternoon, but I hope can get all issues fix before end of 1st year.
Priority :

oil leak again (ya that's right, COE didnt fix it, then send to setapak apparently wasn't fix as well)
difficult to start engine occasionally and overcrank sound (donno it's the battery or the starter)
check car battery (some got bad battery I heard)
claim windows run channel warranty for all rear windows (ugly installation)
Rear Left small windows wind noise (confirmed need to fix)
front passenger door panel loose. (causing rattling noise)
bosh HU firmware and gps map update (according to sc got update)
car fuel lid not aligned properly. (i saw latest batch fuel lid was properly aligned)
turn to right while applying brake at slow speed, screeching noise, maybe brake issue.

Recall for :
airbag sensor
power windows - passenger except driver
reflash ecu tcu
Non-priority :
inside center aircon vent rattling noise
driver side view mirror motor sound after open
driver door lock/unlock noise
*
what is the noise? is it too loud? suppose to be softer??

I test drove this Preve Turbo last Saturday. Damn, it is one powerful car that has better acceleration than most 2.0-litre sedan vehicles. I didn't test the top speed and just around the city but I can feel the strong surge when I stepped on the accelerator. The car just accelerated effortlesly with a strong surge, just like a race car. I am very impressed.

One thing I would like to clarify. Between the normal CVT automatic gear and the 7-speed manual gear transmission, how often do we need to use the manual gear? Or in other words - how useful in the manual gear compared to the automatic? I briefly tried shifting between Automatic and Manual back and forth, and frankly I think the Automatic is more than good enough and has sufficient acceleration power. I guess people will use Manual for more thrills or when want to overtake vehicles, but I feel the Automatic is also very powerful and has enough turbo speed and power to overtake vehicles too. What do you guys think? When do you use the 7-speed manual?

THe handling and NVH is also super although I didn't manage to test the car in high speed cornering or anything like that, but man I can feel the power in the Turbo engine. One small step on the accelerator and the whole car just moves forward like a train. Personally I think this is a good value-for-money car which is suitable for those who like sporty handling and a bit of Turbo speed for some racing mood on the highways.

i only need manual mode on hilly roads eg Karak highway, Genting. Uphill and Downhill.
