However,this proton preve seems to be overrated to me.Considering it's price,performance,safety.It is EXCELLENT(having everythin under 1 package is engineers challange).
Well,crash test seems to be good.Engine is good.But there goes a story about engine efficiency.Many sites including proton Official site claims preve passes Euro Emission "5",WTF THIS IS TOTally unbelievab;e.Seriously i can't trust this men.

1.car weighs 1300kg.(heavy)..made with help of some guy from bmw(refer wiki+car curves,it do smell like bmw.    ,,then            honda city 2014 about 1050kg.

Both have cvt.
Both have good cayalytic converter.(assume honda's better because they tweak their own while proton use something on par with some good aftermarket stuff)
Both have cam profile(definitely vtec have better history n is on GM's top list,,it is a knwn winner).
Engine itself for sure honda made it better(not supporting this pricy rich kids car,,but Honda is GOOD,,engine,efficiecy,chassis,,they would have some fancy stuffs like..mmm..let say better aluminium application on engines(for weight saving)
Campro is dohc + honda is sohc(won't matter coz test of mpg is usually under 90kph,,,sohc still holds good power band)

The result on paper,,,f***  this:official 1 claims  around(non-cfe) 6.2l/100km other sites 7-8l/km

well,for honda(i believe they r not influenced by their government to tokok tambah in order to make it a globall car instead being monitor strictly(not that strict,i knw,cars nw day have some quality issues)--but it's official and any other result claims -5.7l/100km(lighter body of honda/preve is heavy,that's fine but it's 1.5l engine pack more power n torque).
Thus if  u understand how engines combustion efficiency effect Euro emission rating/How much green gas produced...less fuel per 100/km mean=better rating.(other factors like performance of catalytic converter are usually negligible n in this case is safe to be said equal)

Fair personal review
Honestly I never read much about what emission it is... but I am also keen to find out if the CFE fits into a smaller chassis with lighter weight.... How would the FC fares too..

Refinement - I think it's a known characteristic of a Campro..

Not sure if the SA just get the newer ANCAP batch, add skirting, change rim and seat. laugh.gif

If one goes to CoSE to enquire to purchase Preve LE, Proton will say there's no more. Go to outside SA, somehow there always is some.

awww.. u scared me with this one... hmmm.... i think they keep the car in their hand first.. when someone wanna buy then they said got stock... if its like u said. i think there will be diffences cause LE handling from lotus... and premium is proton handling if im not mistaken :|

Just my 2 cents, no scientific data included.
I didn't expect Honda engines to be just Euro 2 emission. Or maybe in Japan, their priority of emission is different(check if majority of Japan market needs to comply). Campro is designed to comply with Euro emission in mind. My Persona is Euro 4 compliant.
Anyway, did you see how fuel efficient is Preve on straight highway? If the test cycle is mainly on cruising, I'm not surprised that the CFE gets Euro 5.

I am driving a LE. I don't think the suspension has any difference except that I have less unsprung weight from the 17" R3 rims.

I have got 7L/100km (SID) base on 100% cruising at highway 110km/h today. 80% on auto cruise...

Never get to hit a Petrol Kiosk right after highway to really test the real FC....

Yeah like I said, I get the best EO available considering the engine is still new. Plus with the syn 5000, you roughly need to pay like RM 50 per month (for 6 months). And one bottle is enough biggrin.gif

The problem is, Proton don't allow you to use your own EO anymore for cars under warranty, so unless you'll be taking it to use on other cars, then it's ok.

1. i do not understand, why u didn't believe the official data from proton regarding gas emission?
because it's proton, so proton cannot do?

from my understanding, gas exhaust emission std described so that product of combustion will have certain % of gases below that of tabulated in the table.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_emis..._passenger_cars

to get the engine to deliver those numbers, engine must be tuned (ok, i forgot what my proton of H&T div. told me earlier when CFE was introduced).
also, when engine tuning is the limit (when u cannot get the optimum between the emission & power maybe) new architecture/design will be employed (read: new engine).

CPS was up to Euro4 (?), while CFE is up to Euro5.

2. engine design differs with one maker to another maker.

does it bother u to have DOHC & not SOHC or vice versa?
i'll make it simple for u:
if the engine works as it should, then it's ok.

do u really know what is DOHC & SOHC?
if u know, then mind telling me the function of those thumbup.gif

maybe in the future there'll be camless engine?

this DOHC&SOHC conversation is more or less like TimingBelt&TimingChain argument.
each has it own pros&cons.
no point on debating these topics, as long as the engine works flawlessly, it's ok.

3. sorry for my reply (i have hard time to digest ur essay).

I think most Proton SC are provided :
1. Syntium 3000 (5W-40)

Question is which one is better for CFE? me noob about this...
Cose said syntium 3000 is not suitable for CFE...
she said too thin and may effect the turbo engine sweat.gif

Don't trust the SA, trust the engineers. They wrote the manual. And the recommended API SL 10W30 mineral or better. That means Syntium 3000 5W40 is very good enough for CFE. The engine was developed with help froum Lotus and designed to work with low viscosity engine oils. The turbo is Borg Warner KP39, and used by other car makers such as Ford and VW. VW recommends 5W40 and Ford recommend 5W30.

Don't worry about 5W or 10W, just worry about the last part, i.e W40, W30.

FYI I'm using Syntium 5000 0W30.
