Wow im getting excited ... So ... There should be no major diffs in performance between the new cfe and preve le rite ...? Accept for the interior n exterior looks ... Anyone had tried drove both of them to conferm tis ...?

Technically i think there are not much difference sinz even ANCAP comes with VT3+..
for the exterior...you can buy the R3 bodykit of Preve LE~~recently saw another dude with a blue R3 bodykit...looks awesome~~
for the interior....if u are really fond of leather...you can ask for seats wrapping service...
saw it once on the automotive forum before..not cheap~~

Leather wrapping is at least 1.5k, can easily soar to additional 1k I'm thinking of sending the car for painting, gun metal anyone?

No, but I do realise interior lights can dim a lot when compressor kick in.

My Preve LE has no hill hold and will roll back with clutch released and RPM will whine up until it has enough RPM to keep the engine up pushing the car. You try at steeper slope, the partial clutch grip will not be able to hold the car. If little bit of slope, even previous Preve can stay still without rolling back.

Better don't wrap seats with airbag in it.

huh??airbag should be outside of the seats lah~~~

haha are there airbags inside the seat?

Some says there is because
1) there is airbag connectors under the seat
2) due to manufacturing defect, they can feel the airbag in the seat which makes them feel uncomfy
3) notice the SRS Airbag tag on the seat itself

If there is, it should deploy at the sides at the door

maybe you need to test drive the car first, rather than asking for confirmation here. The noise of Exec-version is a real, thing is acceptable level from one to another is subjective.

I, I can live with it

The side airbags are inside the front seats.

Noisy Exec iafmt + CVT is confirmed.
Pickup and response can be improve from software update and dianog.

I did my 20k service, ask for software update....surprisingly, it fell more responsive. My car is manufactured in 2012.

2) Not only uncomfortable, go gluk gluk sound when moving around the seat...

Who supplies these seats?

the side airbags are in the seats. so best not to wrap it with leather...

actually wrapping the seat with leather shouldn't be a problem provided the installer know what he's doing.
however, in case the airbag does deploy.i dun tink u will get back your leather seat.

The concern is that the wrapping restricts the airbag to break open 2 layers of fabric+leather

The seats will jus explode~~

Aiya, ini proton boleh bagi airbag tapi tak bagi leather seat.

Proper wrapping is take away the fabric and wrap new layer with leather. those will cost more then 1k. And the air bag is explode from the little air bag tag at the side of the seat, so when the installer wrap the seat, they will make a space for it, and the tag is came from inside the seat, not the fabric.

But, they still a risk to affect air bag function, for example the workmanship not good, etc etc.

hi here..i already requested to test drive preve exec but they only have cfe for test drive..so far,no one of my friends using preve..

about the noise what i mean acceptable is like tak perlu tinggi suara bila drive atas highway.

to be honest,cfe is the first thing in my mind right now but my budget not allow it..

i can accept pick up a bit slow..but for engine noise..is it too loud or you can chat with your friend comfortably during highway drive?

This is where it gets weird, once you hit the high speed, the noise becomes less apparent The engine noise isn't that much of a problem, the CVT whines at low speed is
