Between high-spec Preve Turbo and low-spec Preve, definitely take the Turbo. No offense to others. The Preve Turbo will render the low-spec Preve to be less enjoyable with lower levels of drivability. The additional RM10k premium of the high-spec Turbo over the low-spec model warrants justice. You just get a much more vehicle apart from the added Turbo power that makes all the difference, apart from the additional features.

Just last weekend I was in a car accessories shop to change a fused light bulb and there was this owner of the low-spec Preve. He mentioned he regretted getting the low-spec model. He cited the lethargic acceleration that is almost similar to his other car, the Nissan Almera.

Frankly speaking, in the Preve TURBO, you are getting a powerful car at just RM70k. There is nothing out there up to RM100k that can beat it in terms of accelerating power. Once you have driven a powerful car, it is difficult to go back to a less powerful "under-powered" car.

Agree!! I am now regretting LOL~

Yeap from Eric~~

consulted Eric on the GC~~he mention new car the GC should be just fine~~so i did not install the GC~~

Thanks for the feedback.

Turbo owners.. Seriously, don't be elitists.

I am one of the Preve Executive owners that is actually satisfied with the non-turbo IAFM+ engine. No regrets.

NO DOUBT, the CFE would definitely be more powerful.

BUT, not everyone:
- Want to own a turbo engine. Which equals more problems if problems ever arise. And more $$ to maintain.

- Need that extra power. - Just like me. (I am not saying this to brag, just to make my point.) Having driven a sleeper turbo car for the past few years, I have lesser craze for power now. Because power will never be enough, there will always be someone faster than you. UNLESS you only know how to cowardly bully smaller car. Which brings me to my next point below.

- Have or Want to spend that extra RM10k. To me, not worth spending that money to satisfy road ego. Rather spend on other stuff.

To be honest, my opinion, the IAFM+ is not as underpowered as people think. Power, very subjective. It is not very fast, but neither is it 'underpowered'. It's good enough for a comfortable drive.

Peace.

My definition of a high powered car is more towards relax driving, lesser engine roar. I drive mine even slower than driving my old NA ..
I enjoy the relaxing drive..

It's just me..

The IAFM+ is also a comfortable cruiser, thanks to the CVT's low ratio.

Manual users however...

But I can't really take the CVT whine of the VT2.... for me it spoils the entire driving fun..

In fact the initial reason I snubbed the first batches of Preve on the older VT3 no matter how "value for money" it is

Are all new 2014 Preves carrying the new ICE systems with the bigger screens? I saw on the Preve Lilac print ad that they were showing a cabin with the new Android ICE. Anyone can confirm this?

Nope... the new Preve still using the old ICE....
The one showed on Preve Lilac is probably a reused photo of Suprima HU!!

Im a Preve Exec IAFM+ ownner. I enjoy the ride.

n i agree with what preveverp says. as i used to own a mazda lantis which convert to a 1.8T engine. nice power, but high maintaince cost.

As the 1.6 provide me a balance power and leisure. as buying the preve is for daily driving purpose. is go easy on the road.

Anyway, cheers to all hv a nice day

Haha.. All I can say is, there are few ways that can reduce the CVT whine to minimal, almost unnoticeable level.

The CVT whine intrusion into my cabin area is now only like 20-30% from the original 100% 'cvt whine' sound level.

David, this isn't directed at you.. But i can't help but notice that most rejection and criticism here of the Exec/IAFM+ come mostly from people who do own an Exec model.

Hey bro, how do u treated the cvt whinning sound yea? Any special method xD?

Ya share us some ways

I assume you meant "people who don't own an Exec model".

That's exactly the reason why I did not want to own it and straight upgraded to Premium. In fact I rejected the Premium (Non-ANCAP) which the CVT whine was too much for me to take it..

Until I heard that Preve ANCAP comes with an upgraded VT3+ then only I changed my mind.

But as I said it's just me, when you find something you can't take it then you shift your focus elsewhere

I think he meant ppl that own exec spec are openly "regretting" their purchase mainly due to lack of power, those on cfe got nothing to regret (yet)

Yea actuallt I am regretting to get myself the exec one.
But what to do? Lol budget matter, ahahahah

hi guys, any of you would like to sell off yr Yes Huddle xs? i'm interested to get it. can PM me if you wanna let go. thanks ya

and here i thought only manual exec owners enjoy their ride and engine

Why MT users are crying?

At first I thought of getting MT Exec, because of the budget. The turbo premium seems tempting too. And now I don't know which to choose.

So what's with AT?
