Updates : It's the Jazz Hybrid (CBU). It clocked 9.9s. He can't remember the exact time for City iVTEC but definitely not that fast. So, I guess it is about 11-12s.

Hey. Mind to elaborate more on the problematic part? Just curious to know.

preve was lousy, same as suprima s, I mean the build quality, the plastic came off when my pants cling on the panel below the seat... and the door panel can move when I try to feel the material, although it's not hard plastic,  but I felt unreliable. More of is the car was too high tech,  you need to put your remote into the car before pressing the push start button??? WTF?? Then what's the point of the push start button? Why not make conventional key instead... The push start button is for our convenient to not look for our keys in our bag or pocket, but proton use old BMW tech which is put the key only press the push start button which is totally time waster... and one more important thing is the whole car is on electronic lock, which means there's no manual lock on each side of the door, and it can be opened by pulling two times at the door... worst part is, if the battery died, will the lock works??? The sales man even told me this car has higher hp than altis, and I thought doesn't our law in this country max speed is only 110km/h is allowed?  More is this car comes with timing belt!! Although it's proven quieter than timing chain,  but if you were the customer you want a timing belt or timing chain? Even 2005 myvi is with timing chain, have they complain that it's loud than a saga?? For that kind of money, I rather spend on low spec honda city plus the discount given just few Ks more than cfe preve... or cheaper than the SS. Just my point of view after looking at the car, don't pump me kao kao ya... XP

How about the performance , is it comparable to 05 City vtec too?

At first , of course, I would immediately thought that the 308T can out accelerate the city vtec but after I came across 308T official  0-100 is 9.1s ....that reminded me of the city vtec launch by WKN was around 9.1s too...however, unofficial 0-60 time but it's close...

so I'm asking u since u own both cars

Keep living in your ideal world. Why is it everytime you open your mouth rubbish just flows right out of it?

In reply to your question, no the VTEC cannot out-accelerate the 308T. At high speeds the City feels floaty and wobbly. I know cos I have driven the City at up to 150 kn/h but don't dare go higher. The 308T, manage to drive near to 200+ km/h but don't really dare to look properly at the speedometer at that speed cos its freaking scary. Anyway, those speeds were done on a deserted highway at night.

0-100kmh possible to out run. but in real world 240nm at 1600rpm is very handy compared to na toque curve. especially in highest gear acceleration. in fact i never drive 1.6thp 0-100 in 9.1 sec everytime i drive 308t or 508.
gile ke ape.

It's not the jazz hybrid that does this...it's the 05 vtec jazz and also not the i-vtec city but the 05 city vtec....they r both very capable of hitting sub 10s. I'm sure, as when i accelerated from standstill, the car kinda squated. the hybrid i don't know . so is the current city....they r not as powerful as the 05 city vtec....my friends of current city admit themselves because it no longer uses the CVT of 05 city which contributed to the quick n responsive engine...somehow. you own the 05 vtec city, you should know what your car is capable of ...unless you didn't know the best launch mode or u less spirited driving with it? Apology if offended but I do like to stress again that the 05 city vtec is a very capable car for it's segment

So many techinal terms ya... haha
Anythg to do with the weather?

he failed to mention that suprima/preve use low inertia turbo. peak torque at 2000rpm still can be considered as low and good enough. of course u cant compare with twin scroll or vgt. 

As tested, the S4 engine without turbo could hardly pull the Preve/Suprima around. Its torque below 2000rpm (no turbo assist), especially around 1500-1800rpm (as per K3's comment) is way less than 100Nm that is way weaker than other 1.6L engine strength, does it mean you have to floor the pedal to over 2000rpm just to keep the car moving (over 1300kg kerb weight) in bumper to bumper crawl and city driving? 

Don't be fooled by the specs, you don't always get the peak torque at 2000rpm with that obsolete turbocharger. Preve/Suprima engine sounds weak when you floor it, like Mr K3xxx modified cars with poor torque, it sounds hollow yet noisy require lots of revving just to keep it moving. Braarrrr Braaarrrr.... This is directed to Mr K3xxxx, not you. Don't be offended. It's using timing belt that could not operate VVT at optimum level.

Try not to go for uncertained vehicles which will bring you problems later on. Why not buy new? Nasim's after-sales are notoriously known to be poor, and in the even of a breakdown and parts need to be replaced, it's not only you are paying more for these replacement parts but the possibility that you may need to wait for several weeks for the parts to be available. Few friends who owned Peugeot don't have much good words for it when it comes to reliability and maintenance. When it comes to driving, it can be good. But when problem crops up after warranty period, then you will feel it. Especially if warranty period is over.

The Preve is quite a solid car with decent handling. Only the Turbo engine is not very refined and loud but guess that is what to expect for a vehicle that's below RM70k. Brand new you have peace of mind.

And I believe Proton's after-sales service is anytime better than Peugeot Nasim's too.

LoLz ... see i told you u are good in Hallucinating ..
You never sit on my ride pun .. lolzzz
most ppl know my ride damn silent one .. not a single exhaust noise .. lolz

THat give us more assurance u pull everything out of ur tiny little unlogic mind .. lolz

No. Cars like Vios/City reach the century sprint in 11s-12s. If its less than 10 seconds, lots of cars no need to sell liao.

We would see so many ah bengs on the road with Vios / City intimidating others to race everyday. LOL

Some people are so imaginative that they think there is a VTEC "kick" in a City 1.5. Gosh, fanboyism has reached new level~

chill bro. haters will hate.
i'm not a big fan of proton but i dont think u need big torque to crawl in traffic jam under 2000rpm. lol.

Your old city vtec CVT is indeed feels more powerful than the 09 City. However if higher speed, the new one feels more stable. New one is heavy, thts y Vios can out accelerate it and FC goes up. Not only because of the 5AT vs CVT. Weight penalty sux man..

I owned the previous version City with D15B Vtec engine Type-Z. When I test drove the current facelifted City, I was like    WTH...0-100km/h  its so slow...LOL.  Gearbox not as jerky like my old 4AT though.
