On Preve CFE, when u're slowing down/braking, there's a sound like those LRT/Monorial. Is that CVT or Engine sounds?

While we on it, Generally how do we differentiate a sound from CVT or the Engine?

mengsuan ur VT3+ have that sound too?

I'm not a sifu but I can tell you that the current Preve production is already upgraded compare to the previous gen.

You misunderstood his meaning.

He bought Preve LE and just saying the premium price to pay for being limited edition (+/- BK & leather seat) after the massive discount from Preve CFE which set below ~<RM68k.

Where to get it? SC?

Saw/Read about the discussion of fabric vs leather seats few pages back, thinking of changing it to leather too.
Worrying the "bulu bulu" issue.

Left disc brake got sound & burning smell

Thx!
Now budget constraint d but this BK is



Thx mate!
Here ya go, guess that should be it.



and Guys, check out the Preve that just arrived on my SA's showroom.


Not sure if you managed to see it, but at the rear of Preve, it's emblem with "Turbo" (same with Suprima) & "Handling By Lotus".

Is it just a sticker that Proton slaps on it? cause mine just written CFE at the back.
"Handling By Lotus" tarak.

My thoughts after drove my car for a week time;

Steering - very stiff/hard when did a full or 90° turn but it feels light when maneuver on straight line. Also, light vibrate when driving above 130km/h.

Turning - I did a 90° right turn with 40km/h and my body leans to the left, quite alot.

Braking - Brake while driving on 90km/h or above, heard a sound from the front, not sure how to describe it.

Acceleration - Jerk below 10km/h or worst, felt engine gonna die off on a uphill jam traffic road.

QC - The infamous kruk kruk sound NOW appears at the rear whenever I goes over a bump. Weird
Also, whenever I close both my rear doors, there's a "tuk" sound appear at the lower boot.

Do advise me on all these problems, normal or not, so I can bring up this issue on my 1k service.

Our front windscreen share the same specs as on all other windows?

I do feel the heat on my body when driving on PLUS highway at noon time.

Edit: Called up WeCare a.k.a WeDon'tReallyCare, saying that they used a low quality tint for front & rear windscreen, no TSER
or the officer that picked up my call just anyhow answer me

Went for my first service at Top Diversified Sdn Bhd.
Quite amazed with their facility provided (Free WIFI, not TM ZONE) and the technician is freaking friendly, he answered whatever I asked.


I rejected all the recommended extra parts from the service advisor but end up taking Magnetrap , he kept persuade me the advantages of it. Imma a soft guy.
Was hoping for Syntium 1000 or 3000 but they only have Petronas Syntium 800 & Mach 5 plus variety of Mobil Super engine oil, took the Mobil Super 2000 X2 10W-40.

After they done, they called me up and requested me to drive a round to check for any abnormality.
Before handing me the car, they did a all-round QC check and even gave my car a wash.


IMOO, much better treatment compare to CoSE. Will definitely come back for the next service.

Interested on the underbody seal

Guess so, it's located at Taiping, Perak, as I'm very afraid of having a bad Proton Service Center here whereas at PJ/KL area, there're tons of SC available to choose from.
This shop really surprised me and came out different from what I imagined.

With that said, it's normal the car jerks (terhenjut-henjut) upon releasing brake on stop/go jam road? (below 10km/h)

Yup, dam headache on those.
1) Whenever in a stop/go traffic jam, I only let it roll first before I pedal in, slow but no jerk. Good but the bad is many cars took advantages of it and cut infront of me.

2) BIG issue for me, my house front porch is a uphill slope, very troublesome if I wanna park inside, 1.6L Turbo feels no power and engine gonna die symptom.
In the end, park outside

I'm eyeing on this Phantom Body-kit too, especially the spoiler.
Found 1 of the spoiler that look alike that design with brake-light

Not related but still BK.


Need help from those who had installed BK on their car, can I know what's the roughly height (inches) from the road-surface till the front bumper BK?
My area here have quite alot of problematic speed bumps with unique design.

Thanks mengsuan & terryble for sharing the experience.
Seems like very headache to drive with, more concern the indoor multilevel carpark area

Same scenario here, I think can escape the speed bump but with supreme care.
But then again, when it comes to a carpark building ramp, I do fear that as well, the ° slope coming down + speed-bump

Much thanks vincent818 for the photos.
Gave me a very clear idea of it.


When you turn of the engine, quickly turns on ur lowbeam light for 2 secs and off it.
The front lowbeam light will on for 30secs.
Not sure does it available on Exec or not, no harm trying

I'm being honest on my side here. (Not all Preve, but from my perspective)

Towards City Drive - Ok, acceptable.
City Drive + Jam - Acceptable if u ok with it.
City Drive + Jam + Uphill - "i wanna cry"
Highway - King of the Road (Only applicable within same segment & price range)
Fresh Grad - surely you don't want spend much time on visiting SC, right?
Pray for a non-lemon unit. Also, there might be some minor issues on and on.

About the speakers, I'm not so sure but there're 2 output area, 1 being round & 1 small rectangular at each side.
Probably that's why the SA counted as 6.
like what Titaniumz said, if you're not an audiophile, sound quality is good.

Other than that, Preve is soo fun to drive and you wouldn't get such awesome specs+gadget out there with
such price tag, not to mention the ass (Boot) Dayum~
