hi guys, it's my first time to take my CFE to a long drive. too bad I can't speed fast enough due to break in period but I love the auto cruise!

The thing was I could hear some rumbling sound when I'm braking from a fast speed. Its like running over hazard/rumble strips.  Anyone who can relate to this? Is it an issue I need to take during my first 1k service?

the infamous helicopter braking sound.. yeah tell ur SC, make sure they fix it, mine they changed the whole rotor.

I think if you scroll back a few pages there are many forumers here who had answered your questions since it's similar to some who asked the same thing.

Major issues:
To what extent do you consider major? Is it like DSG problem in VW cars? Or brake issue with Camry? If it's along this line, no there isn't any major problem with the performance or safety of the car.

Minor issues:
Mostly fitting and finish. You may hear some weird noises in the beginning, but nothing serious that most service centers can't fix. Cabin noise is not as quiet as other cars, but much better than Myvi.
*
Handling wise: preve, worst is nissan almera, u can feel the car swaying at 80km/h above, little turn at steering left to right u feel u car wan roll liao.

comfort: nissan almera/vios. they have better wind noise+road noise, and softer suspension with less noise inside/outside cabing. CVT + engine noise is too apparent, especially CVT noise, so loud at 30-40km/h u hear the swirling sound, then above 80km/h u hear droning sound, maybe soundproof the whole damn car will feel better but it weighs down ur car alot. Worst=sentra, no need say, engine loud, gear jerk like hell, wind noise even worst. also preve seat is abit hard, almera has the best seat.

power: preve owns them all. almera worst power delivery, when u press pedal, the car wont run one.. especially when u wan go from 60km/h to above. then drop 2 gears summore, rev 5k then the car will move. vios is zippy like myvi, but top end power, cannot fight la.

maintenance: my proton SC is quite friendly and accept ppl fucuk them, and when fucuk them, they will do their work. Some SC they ptui ur car and maybe do something to your car, but my place SC very nice, means they willing to accept this is faulty and they will change, no give u shit tons of excuse. proton maintenance is cheap anyway, as long as u dont blown the CVT and engine. Others car no comment, all are rental car, i drove them while 6months outstation at kl.

in short, preve is a pay-what-you-get car, in malaysia la.. for me u buy vios and city when u think u wan less headache if u are picky person, but u might throw up blood if there is problem with ur car becos u paid such price for those car. totally avoid almera plz.. this car is not safe to drive, even my lead/boss refused to change the car to almera when company issue new rental car, he is using sentra, also rental car. He say its safer to be in a sentra than almera.

i wont ask ppl to buy preve, but i wont say, don buy as well. becos i'm having some headaches here and there, i am little bit picky but it is a good car to drive. If u got the money, u can go for something better, if ur budget max at 75k, then u can really consider this car. While outstation at kl, glad to see so many preve on the road, but at sarawak, hilux/d-max/triton/ninja king/hummer is terrorizing the road, and vios/myvi full on the road.. damn ppl here are so rich.. preve need more love here biggrin.gif

Headlamp confirm void. Wiring I *think* also void. You need to wire the DRL connector to a locations such as the fuel pump relay.

means even u buy a suprima headlamp and install at preve, the DRL also cannot work?

those drl added at bumper as bodykit are serious fugly. I only like VW U shaped DRL.

now my preve vibrate very hard.. especially when static, the chair feels like massage lol.. can i complain to SC about this? the vibration is worse like my dad 18yrs old wira lol.. which is totally unacceptable, the steering vibration also very annoying.. and got sound coming from rear, metal hitting sound, and also the 3rd brake light like loose edi after 1yrs driving, now will hear the plastic rattling when go thru bad road. sigh, 1yr only.. if 10yrs looks like the car will vibrate until every parts came off..

Mounting problem perhaps, especially when not moving. You should be able to claim warranty. The steering vibration I think is also due to the mounting.

ok its time to fucuk my SC again, long time no visit them liao due to outstation.. for me its impossible the car can vibrate into such extend, it vibrates like rental car i use nissan sentra while outstation, maybe 5yrs old, but rental car u know la.. my company rent almera for me also new car i go 4-5k rpm lol.. becos almera is a shitty underpowered car. and almera no such vibration, very smooth but underpowered engine.
