Preve does have some driving dynamics of continental vehicles as it is Lotus-tuned, but at RM69k don't expect too much. I can say the Preve Turbo offers much value for money at below RM70k. My only caveat for this car is in the cheap fabric seat material and loud Turbo engine sound. Other than that, nothing much to complain.

Not exactly the Peugeot but a friend of mine who owns the Alfa Romeo 147 Selespeed once sent in his car for fixing several times a year, and at one point of time the cost of repair was too much for him to bear(RM4000+ for some faulty parts), he given up. Sold the Alfa Romeo and bought a brand new Toyota Vios. Since that day I can remember he was praising the Vios so much, not because of the maintenance but the low fuel consumption. (His ALfa Romeo's FC is very high compared to Vios). But then again these two vehicles are in different classes and category, but you get what I mean. You get the wrong car, especially used continentals, once the car exhibits problems, you wont' be able to sleep well if you are not financially strong to get the car into tip-top condition.

Well, put it this way.

If you are comparing the price of the parts of Suprima/Proton with 407...surely 407 will be more expensive.

Hmm....I own a 407 , maybe I'm qualify to comment . You will regret getting preve cos deep inside u wanted a 407 . Btw 407 is reliable if u are the sayang car type of ppl . Service I would say not expensive .U get to enjoy the luxurious ride n cabin quality , even after 7 yrs mine still looks new . Try park a 407 infront of coffee shop ,mamak shop , restaurant and will notice how many uncle ,auntie , lengzai lenglui notice you n ur car ......
