Hi, My name is khairi, currently still using my 2004 p2 kenari but already upgrade to daihatsu 1.3 turbo engine. Since early of this month i started to study about preve due to my family are getting bigger & i feel its time for me to move to sedan car. Yesterday, i manage to test drive preve cfe somewhere around stadium shah alam area. Its about 1 km drive, i have to agree with most of sifu here that preve really good in term of handling & comfort. The only issue that not align with what i expected is the pickup of the cvt gearbox. At start, try to drive in "D" mode, all system running smooth. The SA suggest me to start to use paddle shift & from that time i feel the transition of gear smooth but with slow pickup. This situation is really make me down as i compare to my tiptronic daihatsu gearbox. 2nd stage, i tried to us the gear knob & put it to manual mode. At this time, i started to feel an increasing of torque response when i change the gear but still cannot tackle my feeling as compare to my jap gearbox.

Overall......i must say that i am falling in love with preve cfe due to it is the only sedan car below 100k come with turbo & 2 of my cousin already show me the power of cfe (in exora bold).

Yes bro......agree with you.....cannot tune the CVT concept......i will start to tune my mindset...

actually we are use to drive with a manual gearbox or normal Automatic transmission, CVT technology is quiet new for most of malaysian poeple (for low & middle income earner).

as for me, its total a new experience & it totally difference concept compare to normal automatic transmission. My understanding is, as for the CVT, we don't have 100% control on the gear transition due to it control by the ECU.

"IF" proton use the same concept as KIA forte by having a 6 speed auto transmission, maybe i will be the first customer to book

i waiting for this kind of comparison on Preve & kia forte (1.6 sx). Any sifu can share in this threat?
