hey guys, is it worth to get preve le now for ~10K more than regular preve? im considering it now because of vt3+ gearbox. or shall i wait for next preve update..which we do nt know when it will come. any info guys? thanx

The stuff in Preve LE is very nice to have, but I also clearly know that it isn't needed for economical factor.

Moreover I heard the unrefreshed Preve Premium could get few thousand to near ten thousand discount, that even brought the gap between LE and Premium greater. But I still got the Preve LE.

the ncap one still use older vt3 right? they said preve le packed with vt3+ and future preve also might get the same. but i really can not wait to get my first car d lol..
*
That's what we heard, only the Preve LE currently have VT3+. Future release unsure

Sometimes there is whining sound but it's much quieter on VT3+

Then I suppose VT3+ is much quieter. The whine is almost inaudible and only appearing for a short moment then gone.

Just got my preve. F the sa. Kept denying that he ever promised me full tank petrol. Visor say no stock have to wait.

Anyway, seriously feel that preve exec is underpowered. Viva 1.0 manual can accelerate much faster than my car. If only I have test driven the exec instead of cfe, I wouldn't buy exec variant at the first place. The car weight is really too heavy for the engine.

And ts pls add me into the owner list. Preve exec white cvt owner here..
*
Light cars like Viva don't need powerful engine to feel fast and swift. To feel the same on a heavy sedan, it's not likely. If you need that zippyness, even CFE couldn't give you that.

Just as comparison, my modified Persona with turbo, more HP than my Preve LE, could be overrun by stock Myvi easily at short routes

Btw, don't you worry adding visor will cause wind noise? I'm glad that the Preve doesn't have one unlike my Persona.

So the public rather car makers don't add value to the cars for no added cost to the customer? It's good that the manufacturer puts in their commitment to improve right? There has been a lot of blame on Proton for adding more features, demanding for explanation and refund/upgrade, as if Proton is at fault. Generally the public is at benefit

My SID problem - No problem

just fuel up my preve cfe full tank.
after re-start the car

its come back to normal. do u think i need to mention it to SC tomorrow? i think its quite hard if the problem is not very clear right.  sweat.gif
*
I don't think it's a major problem. More like software bug.

Did you turn off the system when refilling? Did you happen to reset your avg fuel consumption figure and somehow reflected very high fuel consumption value by traffic or something?

Knocking on a modern engine?

I have heard knocking on my BOT Persona, my Preve is absent from such sound.

Please be very careful when you go down the parking ramp. I hit my Preve LE's front twice already, second time even with extra precaution ~0km/h.

Preve LE - No hill hold assist. Use handbrake style like driving manual as a solution

Same here~~the same day after installation when go back to office car park~~
i also kena 2 times...really sakit hati~~but luckily there are multiple ways to enter my office's car park basement...
and i have to adjust my route to the basement 3~~

anyway although there are scratches~~but~~it is not visible as they are under the bodykit~~ (still sakit hati)  cry.gif  cry.gif ~~
anyway just for your info~~so far mid valley and pavilion car park i do not has any problem with the ramps smile.gif
*
Mine is also under the body kit but I didn't enjoy that feeling. The sound is like hitting a longkang cover. Proton SC (World Car Care) told me they can repaint the bottom for RM150 if I want to fix it. But since it's so easy to hit, I'll leave it first.

Beware of Paradigm mall, I hit mine the first there. Second time was a office building.

I use UR strut bar for my Persona, but the Preve already comes with front strut bar, rear anti roll bar. What else do you need? Fender bar?

Stock Preve handling is very good. The most I take corners is at 140km/h, and it already does very well.

I'd say don't change the front strut. Change the rear anti roll bar only if you need the much increased stiffness; you will reduce rolling but it would be easier for your rear to slide.

My Preve LE has leather seat. It's quite firm but I find it comfortable as well.

I actually do not need turbo power... Can climb up to genting is already good enough for me.

When you got your own car, you start lurking in forums, looking more into technical details of a car, then you'll itch for turbo and regret why you didn't get it.

I just want to share my experience :
1) dont go and buy preve H7 headlight at other market other than proton SC, it will cost you more but you'll have the same quality. Proton's H7 headlight is around rm18.9 while the H7 I bought from a market is around rm40 and above. To be honest, proton H7 headlight is better in terms of brightness and quality.

2) if your Esc (electronic stability control) light on your HUD is blinking, it means that its working well. But if the light is not blinking (continuously light up), go and do your balancing and alignment check. If problem persists, consult SC to reflash youe ECU &TCU.

3) if there is a weird sound on your third light break, go to SC ( I went to setapak SC near titiwangsa mcdonald) and ask them to fix it. Proton crew ask me to join them work on it, I ask them to put some sponge to the loose part, and it worked well!

4) if your car sounds weird when braking, go to SC, and ask them to fix it. It maybe because of the brake disc. If problem persists,  ask them to fix it.

5) if your car died when changing gear either from D to R of from R to D, better go and ask SC to fix it. It maybe due to gear fluid leaking. If not, then its something else
*
1. Nice share
3. What sound do you have?

No ppl encounter such problem before a? suddenly the car all electronics failed.. but after 1 secs or less it turn back on..

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

I juz collect my preve cfe ancap ystd nite.its confirm got evp and hill hold assist.vincent818 oso in car.and d cvt noise was reduce alot than previous batch.even rev to 3.5k rpm,d noise stil acceptable.im reali enjoy it.
*
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.

QUOTE(terryble @ Jan 1 2014, 11:39 PM)
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~~

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
