Even Got SC ask my friend to install 2 magnetrap for the best performance...haha

Sound like many SCs are desperately pushing the sales for this.....

The key to maintain the car is always adhere to the scheduled maintenance strictly, using genuine/good products...

Many people always ingat servis tukar minyak, oil filter and then the rest never even bothered to check.. This happens when they decide to go out of SC to service and losing track of what they need to do later.

Example a few like
~ Brake Bleeding
~ Radiator Flushing (never use normal tap water)

Guys just to double check how much did you guy insure for windscreen (Preve Premium)?

Base on the parts price I have..

Rear + Front Windscreen is around 850-900 total..
The sensor price I am not too sure.

However most people out there ask to insure for RM1800 as the sensor is very expensive. Hmm..

actually the free labour is valid for the first three services with SC, either 1k, 5k, 10k or 1k, 10k 20k. And in one year time after buying the car.

Milage for service interval depends on SC. Some recommends every 5k and other recommends every 10k. Some said that if you're using fully-syn for EO, the intervals is 10k, while 5k if you're using semi-syn EO.

Few SC do follow the service booklet reccomendations, every 10k even if using semi-syn EO, as per my experience with SC Pantai Bharu.
*
I think Semi and Fully is also 10k.. Perodua also same..

I'm using Preve LE. Tell you what, it hits slope very easily. Not being sarcastic, to avoid hitting some parking slopes, I have to make sure speed is 0, and still I hit the front bumper once at my work place.

Bodykitted car needs delicate care. No jumping over speed bumps, be very careful at slopes, be sure not to hit kerbs when parking.

Also same for large rims. The 17" can hit its edges by driving over pot holes. Knowingly that MRT/LRT construction is on going now, I have to avoid some paths with pot holes. I fixed a scratch, and then in just few days, it got another small scratch because of a pothole.
*
Ouch...

and it's pretty tough to take care white paints..

By the way, have you done any coating or plan to?

Indeed. Again, with MRT/LRT construction, there's so much tar that sticks to the white paint. I was lazy to wax it upon getting the car and I then spent hours to remove those existing tar.

Fortunately, after waxing, the tar is easily removable. Should have waxed the car from day 1.

I use PG sealant to clean and to coat it.
*
My dad has been using only white colour car in his entire life.. I knew how hard it was to take care so even though I love white so much but I'm not gonna take it..

Hope to get my car in 1-2 days time and gonna send to SG for coating..

if you refer to the service booklet, the recommendations for EO is semi-syn, and the interval schedule in the booklet is every 10000km. But as mengsuan indicated, there's no harm if you want to service your car every 5000km, but its not compulsory, from the warranty pov.


*
Hence the word "up to" or "at least" you should service your car "not more than xxxxkm"

More is better of course if you can afford it.

Not headache, because I love my cars. For the looks and satisfaction of looking at it, it's ok to drive slower

That speaks about spending extra thousands ringgit to get the LE version... plus white.. is worth as long as it is satisfying, nevermind the price biggrin.gif

Hi. Wanna ask about sound system in Preve? It comes with 6 speakers right? How's the sound quality? Is it good or biasa2 saja?

I thought Preve 4x speakers only?


Stock speaker is never good imo.. the rear speaker is only 25w if I'm not mistaken...

Preve comes in 4 speakers. Suprima S comes in 4+2 speakers though, with 2 tweeters on A-pillar or dashboard I believe.
Sound quality wise is dependable, they're rubbish if you're an audiophile but I find them to be acceptable although my previous ride Hyundai Matrix original 6 (4+2) speakers sounds better.

By the way, I've reached 1000km today and going to service my car this coming Saturday, my average FC is 9.3l/100km with average speed at 33km/h (mostly city drive and heavy-traffic highway). Hope the FC will improve after service.

Sounds quite good.


First 1000km clocking 9.3l/100km and mostly city drive ...

Is it really only 4 speakers? The other day I went to visit Proton showroom, the dealer said the 2014 Preve comes with 6 speakers.

Anyway I'm a fresh grad and just started working. So plan to buy this car as my first car. But still considering whether this car worth to buy or not.

Compare Preve with Suprima, which car do u recommend me to buy if I'm more towards city driving, and maybe once a month or 2 will do the long distance driving back to my hometown.
*
Preve and Suprima... are almost the same except 1 being Sedan and 1 hatchback...

Don't see any major driving difference anyway.. It's rather preference....

2014 unit.. hmm will update you when I see it. smile.gif

currently any discounts for proton preve LE ah? is it worth getting the LE than CFE with extra 7k? but the exterior of the LE looks very nice n sporty  drool.gif

Preve LE probably is 2013 cars if I am not mistaken. Else Proton's claim of limited 100 units could be a lie.

smile.gif later people accuse proton pay under the table to the mag.

eventhough many times being explained the reason why it doesnt feel that fast due to cvt. but still people disbelieve n mentioned that even myvi is faster. n many accused cfe doesnt have 2L performance as advertise,n many times they said lancer outperformed preve. so,atleast,non bias testing has proved it. with cvt3+,its even better.

but,cfe just cap ayam enjin,there must be something wrong with the timing. broken stop watch perhaps?
*
after driving the preve.. i have no complain about the power....
the car feels so light .. traffic jam start-stop is still quite tiring to drive due to the weight ...

the psychological feeling of trying to keep your foot as light as possible to prevent high FC in start-stop traffic jam did make me feel a bit stress.. However as I just received my car less than 4 days.. still a long way to really feel the actual thing this car can offer..

So far I have no complain although build quality for Proton is bound to have some
