i did survey and most seller giving 4-5k discount with smart tag, touch and go, petrol, and a few other cheap things as free gift.

Is this the best so far? Anyone got higher? I am thinking of Preve Premium.

Preve LE is just RM1k discount.

some owners at the fb group claim to be offered 5k discounts for Preve LE. search more SA?

Proton has confirmed that service interval is minimum 10,000km (Semi/Fully EO)
Note why I mention the word "minimum".
You can service as frequent as you want - if you are rich.

But for severe usage, it's recommended 5,000km.
Same goes for CVT Fluid/Filter - Severe 40,000km, Normal 60,000km

For us, we prefer to stick to Fully Synt EO if for 10,000km.

I'm not a severe user, normally only drink during weekend, the next service is either 10k or 6 months right? Since now I already use Semi (the YES car care didn't ask me whether semi or full as well, i know is my bad didn't told them in advanced I want full synt), do you think I will need to go for 2nd service after 3 months (10k = 6 months, 5k = 3 months)?

the 2nd service will ask to use Full.

You are allowed to use up to 10,000km (9,000km usage with current oil).. but if you can change it before that it's better cause it's only SEMI Oil.

I am actually thinking to use it for only 7,000km but it seems weird to mess up the scheduling/interval.

Guys, really cannot decide la whether to buy Preve or new City. Interested with Preve CFE, but I heard many people complain about the quality of Proton's car. Plus kinda worried about the fuel consumption because I will drive this car mostly in the city with heavy traffic.

I did visit Honda showroom to check out new City. Damn nice gotta tell u. But I think only worth to buy the full spec which is V spec but the price ia RM91k.

Basically i can save around RM20k if I buy Preve CFE compared to Honda City V. But afraid menyesal beli Preve if later rosak. Please advise.

If FC is your concern then get the City but if V spec costing 20k more.. well, it's just on you...

Preve has no major issue except minor issue is normal. City will be a first-batch car, usually I avoid first-batch car no matter is H, T or Proton.

Is it really true Preve FC is that bad? Some people say for city driving, stuck in jem, Preve soft turbo will drink your fuel like crazy. The FC for Preve in city around 9-10km/litre. Is it true? If yes than its a heavy drinker la.

And based from what I read above, some guy just bought Preve over City and he said the light cannot be turned on the first night he brought home the car. Man that's really bad experience, thinking of u buying a new car with your hard earned money, and only finds out the car got major/minor issues even only after out from showroom.

It's not 'that bad', it's similar to other 2.0 cars in its segment. Take note that it's unfair to compare a C segment car to a B segment car. But if you are 90% city driver, then Preve (especially CFE) is not the car for you smile.gif

Err, one guy who had an unfortunate experience, against thousand others who didn't. I think this is like the unreasonable fear of taking MAS after the MH370 incidents laugh.gif What you can expect initially are some rattlings, although they all can be fixed at service center. Nothing major. That's why it is important to check everything before you sign the receive of car from your SA, not only for Proton but to any car you purchase, be it Toyota or Honda. Speaking of Toyota, Vios is more fuel savvy than a City, so if your priority is FC, then I believe Vios is more suitable.

What you can get with Preve is, the power, acceleration, handling, safety, space. Comfort and looks are subjective, so it's up to individual biggrin.gif

Around 11-12KM/L in city driving style.

I find my Preve problem-free. Even rattling noise fixed itself, seriously, literally.

those who have no major issues will not post on forum to say "hey, my car got no issues" that is why what we see & read on forums are people ranting about issues and trying to find a fix for it, if you have the time, do to other car thread and ask what issues they have, I can assure you there are complaints also

Just got my car last wednesday - CFE power is just awesome! Can't wait for the 1K service, should see improvement on FC as well as better engine response after service.
Well overall i was surprise that the car has been so much quieter and responsive compared to the test drive car i drove few weeks back.
NVH is way better than the test drive unit - perhaps Proton should upkeep their test drive unit better...
The only negative is helicopter sound when braking... hope will get it fixed in the first service.
Question, should i opt for Fully synthetic for first service with 10k mileage in next service or just Semi synthetic with 5k service mileage?
I read in forum saying for new engine its better to use semi synthetic... any advice from sifus?

Well said.

My CFE currently doing 10-11km/l City mixed driving.. (Still breaking in the engine, 2k+ mileage only now)

The downside is this car should not be in the start-stop situation where it drinks fuel but then it's a C segment. So comparing with a B segment in term of Fuel Efficiency of course is a no-no...
