QUOTE(maverickng @ Apr 15 2013, 11:49 PM) company not enough budget.QUOTE(hbgoh57 @ Apr 16 2013, 12:25 AM) So have u gotten yours yet?anyway proton cars are like that...qc not so good but in exchange u get a good handling car for this price range.so if u are someone who enjoys driving then the choice is obvious.that's why i am still using a proton till now..just that there will be minor hiccups here and there when all in order, shall get it this Thursday.my current Persona, the 1st batch, some hiccups as you said. change 2 times of front disc during warranty period. aircond knobs, change once. rear left door rubber change once. car rattle at RPM2800. under warranty that time, just complain and ask for change. time consuming. QUOTE(Gigabit @ Apr 16 2013, 08:50 AM) It is your choice, you want excellent car driving experience, ride and handling...take proton true. that is our mindset problem. no pride for works.You want problem and issue free car, get something else...best get the Completely Build Up (CBU) type car and not Completely Knocked Down (CKD) type car because our Malaysian car assemby workers have no passion in their work and our vendor give crappy parts. even happen in MB factory here. paint spraying, hand too short and cant reach. what they do?? jump a bit. |

got my Exec CVT today late afternoon.
everything is fine. clocked 38km once i am in there with SA to check interior. noise. yes, the humming sound if accelerating fast. on and off can hear the fan noise? is that? drive as usual pace is nice. acceleration is good. one needs to have good control in fuel paddle should be fine. |

QUOTE(Darkcloudz @ Aug 22 2013, 10:00 PM) Okay. After driving my Preve for about half a year. I can conclude that my car have alot of problems. Just now when i was caught in the traffic jam in the city, i can feel my car jerking. This happen for the very 1st time and i just did my 5k service less than a month ago. 6 months running 5k km. hmm.....All the rattling sound, my car boot water leaking. Haizzzz car jerking is due to the CVT using wet clutch, quite normal at 10-20km/h, stop, move. rattling and water leak, SC can solve. design problem and not install properly. QUOTE(wongth7 @ Aug 22 2013, 11:48 PM) anyone knows what is the size of the stock speaker in preve?..any aftermarket speakers that can directly replace the stock speakers without need to to drill hole etc..easy to DIY type? 6.5" with 3 screws. other 6.5" speakers are 4 screws. go figure whether need to drill or not.or go get self drilling screws. no need pre-drill. |

QUOTE(wongth7 @ Aug 23 2013, 11:13 PM) the origin socket is not compatible to other's speaker. just cut and use the cable comes together with new speakers.maybe you just go shop new speakers, amp and send to accessories shop for installation. the installation fee is not much. stock speakers are made of paper. aftermarket speakers cannot fully perform without amp. |

QUOTE(lkyoong @ Aug 24 2013, 12:22 AM) Just got my Preve Turbo today. Chassis number is 38xxx. if you bring own lubricant for service, anything warranty claim on the engine will not be entertain.So far everything looks good. Minor scratches which i highlighted to the SA so they will call me to touch it up. Also anyone know the best SC to send for the 1k service in JB? I buy and use my own fully synthetic engine oil. The AutoBacs shop near Tebrau City just open and they offer good prices for engine oil. Thinking of getting hand wax done on the car as well. |

QUOTE(lkyoong @ Aug 24 2013, 12:47 AM) So have to use the SC engine oil. Proton service centres, either using Petronas or Shell.Any idea what brand of oil they typically use if i request for FS oil? Also manual says need to use 10W-30 or better, can use 5W-30? Or need to use 5W-40 if you travel frequent, use fully synthetic. save labour charge in the long run. if you just clocking 5k km around 3 months, may just use semi syn. 5W-40 slightly better. QUOTE(:3mushy:3 @ Aug 24 2013, 06:59 AM) As I work in O&G field, I have some accesses to purchase engine oil (any brand, any spec) at staff price yes, they still allow now. something wrong with your engine, the time you want to warranty claim. just prepare to shout here and there.working in O&G field, salary per month is like what?? 8k-15k? is it worth to challenge them next time? amount save for every oil change (10k km); 15 times X RM80 (assume the max) = RM1,200 RM1200 spanning over the 5 years, is it worth? |
