Sorry if this is repeated, doesn't seem to find the answer.
How to check whether the car is using the new gearbox? From which batch on the car is using new gearbox? What are the improvement?

if you cant hear any whining sound at speed below 80kph, then high chances you are in a preve with VT3+

The transition from VT3 to VT3+ starts from the ANCAP version (6 airbags). So if your preve has 6 airbags, high chances it comes with Vt3+ also.

Not sure what you mean by shoddy paint job, and even if it is, how bad.

Almera has better FC, sure, but honestly, it can't even compete with other cars in its segment. Well, the price is justified.

mostly NVH.

The ratio is also different a bit, but in terms of performance and FC wise, not affected. Mostly for NVH reduction.

All Preve Premium ANCAP (6-airbags) are fitted with VT3+. This is certified by the manager of customer care Proton from Punch

Improvement -
1) NVH
2) More responsive... no lag compare to the old VT3 (huge difference)

The black color is stupidly glossy, and its painted after the car has been assembled. Got stupid amateur overspray and blobs everywhere!

To new owners (MY14 model), please check if your Preve has this issue.

At the hose yes...

Especially when the engine is hot, touching it leaving my fingerprint there but it eventually gone again...

Proton Edar FB clarified that it should not be painted as paint is a flammable item.

Went to SC they said is anti-rust doh.gif ... Now wanna go COSE but they only do normal service during weekend doh.gif

This is bad, and I don't think it came out of the factory like this. Mine is fine, but I'll ask my neighbour if he would let me take pictures of his as his is the latest batch.
