Hey, I have an issue here before i go for some checking in the service center.

I own a non-turbo auto preve.

Just recently, I can here a heavy sound "clak" for everyt time of approaching the first 40km/h after a cold start.
I've been observing this for approx 3 weeks already. There will be no other sound after this situation until another cold start, it would repeat.
I wonder what is the problem, did u guys have this kind of problem and how u guys deal with it?

I believe if many are online tonight, you'll get advice to think if it's possible for you to stretch your budget to get a CFE instead. To us, the extensive boost of power is really worth it biggrin.gif

But, in the end it falls on how you are going to use the car, if mixture of city driving and highway, I think it's still a viable car to drive biggrin.gif Just watch on the FC, this car is always hungry. But above all, you get a top notch safety, compared to other cars in the segment and price bracket icon_rolleyes.gif

Hmm, for my side, i am happy with my non-turbo so far as i am more into fuel saving. oucch.. but to be honest, have to b careful in using a proton as its not really good for a rough usage.

I just spoil my front light adjuster with a slightly sharp screw driver. i am not aware that they are using a rubber screw hole as i am dong that at night. Well i was a bit harsh to my car tat time T,T . So, U have to care ur proton like a baby as u like how u take care of the milo tin body. than u can be a happy owner like me.. with my grief toward my headlight T,T

I had my advise from an engineer in peugeot who is loyal to proton ever since he bought a car. Proton could be the best affordable car as long as u are using the original part. Once china part come in, the car can be die after few years for some trouble lead by the replicate part.

Hi Guys, I have been trying to find out which model of the Player that my Preve Premium uses but with no result. What is the model of the player? Or should I say Lokatoo player?
Also, I have read in some of the forums that our Lokatoo can be upgraded to Garmin or Papago. Any idea who, where or how to get this done? I personally feel the Lokatoo is no where in comparison to the Garmin or Papago that I use currently in my other cars.

ya.. mine is an exec. i read the manual and knw that they have strong frame but i am not sure about the covering metal. Yup, i did my research before i buy this car. the original part is only guarantee by proton service center. not those outside 1. though the part could be cheaper compared to the imported car. but some of them still cost some money during the major services. but that could en-longed your car lifespan.

u had my vote, go and get 1!! lolx

IAFM+ engine are tuned for usage with CVT..
IAFM was the original variant before proton started using CVT gearboxes..

quote from wikipedia:
QUOTE
The CamPro IAFM (Intake Air-Fuel Module) is essentially a basic DOHC CamPro engine equipped with a variable-length intake manifold, developed under a joint fast track programme that began in April 2005 by EPMB, Bosch and Proton


QUOTE
The second-generation Campro IAFM engine, known as IAFM+ engine, was debuted in the 2011 Proton Saga FLX.[7] The new IAFM+ engine is tweaked to be paired with the new CVT gearbox by Punch Powertrain that requires the maximum operating engine speed to be reduced from the previous 6,500 rpm in the first-generation IAFM engine to only 6,000 rpm.[8] As a result, the 1.3L IAFM+ engine produces 94 bhp (70 kW) @ 5,750 rpm of horsepower and 120 N·m (89 ft·lbf) of torque, while the 1.6L IAFM+ engine produces 108 bhp (81 kW) @ 5,750 rpm of horsepower and 150 N·m (110 ft·lbf) of torque.[9][10] The combination of the new Campro IAFM+ engine with the CVT gearbox results 4% and 10% reduction on fuel consumption for urban and highway driving respectively.[7]

get the preve because it's a newer design, 5 star Ancap certified and have much more safety features than the persona...that's my take...I too considered the above factors before deciding preve is the car for my wife

and she love driving it as she feels it's really solid and safe biggrin.gif

its still the same engine.. just different tuning.. value comes down to u...
like some say, preve is of newer design, better safety features, and not too bad fc... maintenance wise i think its almost similar to persona..
have u test driven both?
which one do u like more?
if asking me, go for preve... the exec has enough power to take u to topspeed... but not in a hurry...

Hi Guys, I have been trying to find out which model of the Player that my Preve Premium uses but with no result.  What is the model of the player?  Or should I say Lokatoo player?
Also, I have read in some of the forums that our Lokatoo can be upgraded to Garmin or Papago.  Any idea who, where or how to get this done?  I personally feel the Lokatoo is no where in comparison to the Garmin or Papago that I use currently in my other cars.

Preve Premium CFE? It is from Bosch. Called Bosch Multimedia Compact. Cannot be changed to Garmin of Papago. Better get a new head unit if you want to change the GPS.

It is also used by Suzuki SX4 Style:




Opel Corsa:


And Nissan, with some UI update:

why IAFM+ cant install SC bang?
got internal or control strategy changes between the two?

different intake manifold, engine block and ecu etc or so i heard. piggyback ecu still can't be used on iafm+.
more precise details u can ask proreka on their fb page.

but i do know this : to one user query if the SC can be use on "godly" vios, they said can tongue.gif laugh.gif

different intake manifold i percaya.. but different block?
IAFM is Intake Air-Fuel Module rite?
it is standalone unlike the VIM in CPS...
different tuning from 6.5k rpm max to 6k rpm max is probably done in the new 32bit ecu...

of course "god" car can la.. how long that 1NZ-FE been in production?its a mystery if they havent made a SC or BOT for it...

that Bosch unit is not upgradeable.. even a map update will cost u Rm3++.. N Suprima HU is no better.. if only blaupunkt made the android not so bare..

It is adequate for me. I can listen to radio, MP3. The sound is decent. I already got a reverse camera connected to it. As for navigation, I'm using Garmin Nuvi 3592. Route calculation is VERY FAST. Map is very good, and free too.

I'm looking for a replacement head unit, but none is available yet that fits my needs.

My requirements:
* 6" or larger screen
* Internet connected
* Able to run waze & google maps
* Can install torque & read bluetooth obdII adapter
* movie playback
* youtube
* DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast) & DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcast-Terrestrial) for future proofing
* GPS with free & timely map updates


Some of the requirements can be met by Kenwood DNN9330BT & Clarion NX702A. Until then, I'm happy with stock head unit & my Garmin Nuvi 3592 (which is android based btw, with google maps & waze)

AppRadio3
AppRadio3
Pioneer AVIC

I have looked into mirror link, even wireless mirror link. It is a stop-gap measure to what I really want, a car computer. The best choice that is available for me right now is a "rooted" kenwood DNN9930BT. But review of a similar product, Kenwood Excellon DNN990HD (in the US), reveal problems of software hanging, haywire USB. Essentially buggy software. So I'm simply in waiting mode, getting the funds ready when the next generation of Android Head Unit comes out and fits my needs.

If all else fails, then that is the way.

This is what I'm looking at currently:


It runs on Android 4

What's missing?
* software still somewhat unstable and buggy (next version should be better I hope)
* locked software, I can't install what I want from Google Play

So that's why I'm just waiting. Version 2 of Kenwood's Android head unit might have what I want.

There's no VGT for petrol engine. The exhaust gas from petrol engines is too hot and make the variable vanes unreliable. A simpler method is to use twin scroll, i.e. 2 exhaust scrolls in the turbine side. That is what BMW, KIA et. al. are using.

Porsche 997 Twin Turbo uses a Borg-Warner VTG unit... Variable Turbine geometry..
VGT for petrol engines are not impossible.. just that the material needed to withstand the heat generated would cost a bomb!

or u could try this...

Anybody feels the car going through humps.. feels like engine dropping off?

I mean you have to really slow down the car a lot.. although the impact is still to be felt.

Need some advice. Recently my Preve got this very annoying ticking sound like panel loose or metal hitting each other from the back when the road is uneven or going thru the mini humps or speed bumps.

I thought might be the spacing like mentioned earlier and tried to DIY but still got that annoying ticking sound or cluk cluk sound.

If i send SC, can they fix it? Worry later they open this and that, make it even most.

I'll be lurking here often as I'm torn between Persona or Preve (not so soon.. maybe 2-3 months from now) .. after taking Almera out of my options. Been 10 years driving the trusty ol' Saga with no major hiccups . I guess another gamble with proton won't hurt.

I don't think you'll be disappointed with the performance of Preve, especially the new CFE. What you can expect, however, are minor rattlings but none cannot be fixed either by SC or yourself smile.gif

Upon retrieving my Persona and Preve, I have been approached by Locktech agent. I was told no issues on warranty.

I did not install on any on my cars, it was a direct rejection for my Preve. Preve gets 5 star ANCAP rating at the point of test. With a metal rod near the leg, no one can be sure if the car is still so crash-worthy as specifications. Just my personal fear.

Btw, I've seen on Oto.my that the exec version is 56k and the cfe turbo version is 69k if not mistaken. Quite a drop!

Your starter don't leak any fluids. The black thing is probably carbon powder. The carbon come from motor's carbon brush

Can you check if it's oily?

It doesn't look like oil to me especially the spread on the starter itself. Should be ok.

Compared to the turbo version of coz. LOL. The sentence was pretty direct.
I'll be lurking here often as I'm torn between Persona or Preve (not so soon.. maybe 2-3 months from now) .. after taking Almera out of my options. Been 10 years driving the trusty ol' Saga with no major hiccups . I guess another gamble with proton won't hurt.
*
Tested both Almera n Preve same day n the Preve I feel is a very very much better car in terms of handling n stability....bought the Preve in the evening than...this preve is an upgrade from my previous 5 Year persona n is indeed a very good upgrade

I think it's due to its rather firm suspension, that's why it handles steadily during cornering as you feel the road feedback more thro the steering...if you drive on a smooth road and yet steering vibrates then you need to be a little worried

Hi Guys,

I have a situation here. My previous Service was on 5,000km and I used the Synthetic Oil which makes my next Service is on 15,000km.

Currently my car had travelled a total of 12,000km. And few days back, I was flipping through the service record, and noticed that SC suppose to inspect the battery, brake plate, etc at 10,000km. I am not sure the previous 5,000km, whether the SC had perform the inspection.

Do I have to bring my car to SC to get those parts inspected? As per attachment (Pro-Basic) found in this forum, I think till 40,000km it will be just only the Black Oil Replacement?

Appreciate for a prompt reply as I'm planning to drive for a long distance tomorrow notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

hi mate,
i think it should be no problem, maybe u can call sc for confirmation

i just share my experience,
as i remembered, my service is at 1k, 5k, 10k, 15k,20k,25k, 30k using semi oil
at 35k service i insisted to use fully and interval mileage is 10k, but they say it will be issue if the service interval at 45k, 55k, 65k and so on.. (probably documentation issue on major service which is at 60k)
so they suggest me to service at 40k and then start using fully oil which the interval will 50k, 60k and so on.
hope this could help you somehow.

T&C Apply. It says RM66K if NCD 55%. You don't know what other terms to get the RM66K. You only know when you enquire in person.

Go buy at Giant and cut it yourself, <RM50 + 20 minutes tongue.gif

But you have to measure the exiting mats to make sure you buy the correct size

I'm satisfied with the original mats (part of accessories for Preve 2013), it's thicker than most aftermarket mats. When I try to shift it back to normal position, I can feel the weight and that's a good sign biggrin.gif

I have got 1 aftermarket in my old car and it moves around the carpet and folding by itself.. I have to adjust everytime so no more aftermarket carpet.. Probably there are better one but I think the price will still be high so why not just go for stock smile.gif

1) Absorber/Suspension

2) Tyres

Please share your tyre pressure..

Absorber/Suspension is abit stiff for Preve for stability hence it is a bit of compromise in comfort....

2014 manufactured also have quite good discount going on hence can just forget 2013

the difference is only year of make , inside all same .
some of the 2013 stock may come with original coil mat carpet , boot tray , security ecthing for chasis number on the glass.


is not worth to buy a 2013 even the discount is little bit more then 2014 stock becoz :


1. 2013 limited color available, you may not get your favorites color
2. little difference (Rm2000 only ) on the discount
3. very old stock (4 months ++ put in stock yard ) ,some of them even a showroom unit

there is no different ancap 2013 or 2014 in terms of specs..just the manufacture year...
and 2013 ancap will have more discount than 2014...

2013 ANCAP should be running out of stocks already

2014 manufactured also have quite good discount going on hence can just forget 2013

QUOTE(vincent818 @ Mar 17 2014, 12:23 PM)
the difference is only year of make , inside all same .
some of the 2013 stock may come with original coil mat carpet , boot tray , security ecthing for chasis number on the glass.
is not worth to buy a 2013 even the discount is little bit more then 2014 stock becoz :
1. 2013 limited color available,  you may not get your favorites color
2. little difference (Rm2000 only ) on the discount
3. very old stock (4 months ++ put in stock yard ) ,some of them even a showroom unit

Thanks for all the feedback notworthy.gif

I think ill go with 2014.
Still waiting for loan approval now.

Yeah... talking bout color, thats a bummer too. I presume the official website is a bit outdated on this. Although I'm planning a wait-and-see move here before really placing an order, I;m looking forward to more color option (not too keen on light/silvery/white colors).

Thank you :3mushy:3. notworthy.gif

My veve is now welcoming second anniversary. Gone are the days where people taking spy shots of my veve while I was driving or parking and be interviewed by strangers when I got down from my veve.

Now I can easily find 3 veve in a row on the highway or in town road. Good la, more veve more parts production and can keep veve spare part cost low.

That time I wasn't impressed with this car...
Due to its CVT whining .... too loud to be a comfort car..
However they have improved alot but still I see Proton needs to refine their cars more.

Anyway for 70k cars for all these, you can't complain too much though

A list on any diff between 2013 / 2013 ancap or 2014 / 2014 ancap would be much appriciated here.

Hopefully any dealer/owner can help on this matter thks in advance. smile.gif

Never tried that before but an MPV so big size at this price.. with its powerful engine.... it's a good buy as long as you don't care about FC too much
For MPV that give you decent FC is probably some smaller-sized MPV ~ Alza, Livina....
But Alza's weight is already lighter than Preve

Look, preve and suprima shares the same headlamp, however preve's DRL function was deactivated/disabled right out of factory by Proton for reasons unknown. We can enable it back by few simple mods, a lot of preve owners been doing that.

Preve "position lamp" is dimmer and set to 'flicker' mode, you have to switch it on manually, whilst Suprima "DRL" is brighter and will automatically switch on by itself when the engine starts.

Try compare Suprima's DRL and Preve's position lamp. You'll get the picture.

Hi Preve owners, I am also considering joining the club. I am also looking to upgrade mty ride to the Preve 1.6 Exec CVT (Non-CFE). Currently my ride is the Saga FL Manual Executive. My concerns are as follows:

1. CVT noise - how bad is this or its bearable?
2. Engine Noise - compare with my Saga, I guess I can accept this.. biggrin.gif
3. Power and pick-up - consulted with SA, recommended me to go for CFE but I do not have the budget. Is the pick-up really bad? I did not want to go for test
drive as the one they have is a CFE and is not the model I am looking at.
4. FC - they say the normal CVT model drinks quite a fair bit but if go outstation is good - similar to my Saga FL?

Do please give comment/your thoughts on the above. I am very keen to upgrade to the Preve. Thanks

1. CVT noise memang ada unless you do soundproofing
2. Engine noise...same as CVT, can reduce if you do soundprooring
3. Pick - up and power for manual cannot compare with CFE. This is because Preve is a heavy car
4. If go outstation and with minimal traffic, fuel consumption should be ok.

i'm driving a honda jazz ckd & my fren just bought an exec preve 2013 ancap.

1. ok for me.
2. ok also.
3. ok..cfe lagi ommpphh.
4. from instantaneous FC of preve, stop-n-go is acceptable, cruising 90km/h ok.

ok. why i chose jazz?
-my wife wanted a small car,
-no preve ancap ver was available at that time,
-suprima s ass ugly.

i've test driven preve cfe twice, & my mom-in-law owns an exora cfe.

The only reason I chose Preve because it's a Sedan....

If Sedan/Hatchback is not your concern, the Suprima S has more luxury feel with its finishing compare to the Preve...
but of course being priced much higher contributes to the extras you do not get with the Preve.

sedan or hatchback in one of my concern but not my major concern... I'm more to design and features... want to got with Suprima S at first but the dashboard panel color makes me think twice.. want to go for preve, but its entertainment system screen look small compared to Suprima S...

CFE is the better choice since the car is heavy...
One CFE owner in the group said he once got overtaken by a Saga FL.

So...you decide what is your ride. tongue.gif brows.gif

sedan or hatchback in one of my concern but not my major concern... I'm more to design and features... want to got with Suprima S at first but the dashboard panel color makes me think twice.. want to go for preve, but its entertainment system screen look small compared to Suprima S...

then go for Suprima. Then change the panel finishing later on outside smile.gif

TBH, I pick Preve because of sedan type. But I would love to get my hands on leather brake lever, leather gear knob, leather seat, and bigger entertainment screen. Combine all that cost to replace would be pricier than changing the panel finishing I think icon_rolleyes.gif

EDIT:

Beside, Suprima S doesn't look nice on R3 Bodykit. Preve looks more fierce! thumbup.gif tongue.gif

I have the other way round of thinking.. the dashboard in Preve is more prone to finger print compare to the Surpima's....

But really this is individual preference too.

Entertainment System for me is useless because 2 years down the road I will change it too... All stock HUs that come with the car will never be "decent"..

As again the price diff by quite a lot so you can use that to upgrade but things gonna bother you is to try keep the warranty intact.

Rim wise Suprima has 17" while that may look nice but comes changing tyre will cost a bomb.

I am not planning to change or add any accessories after that... that's why I prefer premium variant rather than executive.

Look like Suprima S suits you better ....

One thing most Preve owners will dislike is the Gear Knob.. feeling too plasticky..
Suprima has leather wrapped at the side.... it gives an overall more premium feel whenever you touch on it.

Wanna keep the car at stock look and not prone to accessories stuff, my advice go for Suprima S.
Its a major refinement from Preve CFE but well not much different from 2014 CFE but still much better.
Leather seats-console lid-gear knob, DRL, better HU & speakers, Hill Hold Assist, etc etc and there's still 1 feature that keep it different from Preve CFE,
forgot what it is . . .

Cons from my POV,
- the ass uhmmm, like davidlow7 said, need some time for us to swallow up.
- 17" tyre size, wallet pain when wanna change it.

Not only gear knob is plasticky...can be easily damaged....then either you change the knob or put super glue on it.

Hi Preve owners, I am also considering joining the club. I am also looking to upgrade mty ride to the Preve 1.6 Exec CVT (Non-CFE). Currently my ride is the Saga FL Manual Executive. My concerns are as follows:

1. CVT noise - how bad is this or its bearable?
2. Engine Noise - compare with my Saga, I guess I can accept this.. biggrin.gif
3. Power and pick-up - consulted with SA, recommended me to go for CFE but I do not have the budget. Is the pick-up really bad? I did not want to go for test
    drive as the one they have is a CFE and is not the model I am looking at.
4. FC - they say the normal CVT model drinks quite a fair bit but if go outstation is good - similar to my Saga FL?

Do please give comment/your thoughts on the above. I am very keen to upgrade to the Preve. Thanks
*
1. For me its bearable, as you dont hear it all the time, and you can minimize the sound using radio tongue.gif
2. Okay for me smile.gif
3. Compare to your Saga, of course Saga is better, since Preve is heavier car. But the pick-up is not that bad, as long as you know when to step on the pedal. Its also will get better after you service the car two, three times.
4. Highway 7.5l/100km, City 10l/100km. Mixed abt 8.++l/100km.

yes... the features... I like Suprima S features. but the Suprima S ass design makes me wanna buy preve instead of suprima S..

yes, Wanna keep the car at stock look. any other suggestion... is it worth to buy Suprima S compared to Preve CFE in term of design, features and accessories that bundled with the it..

Cut down by RM1xx only..

Previous RM72,999 now RM 72,839.50

However with the extra things like 6 air bags. EVP all come without additional charge.. Hence it still worths a lot..

Yes, that's why I'm consider and compare with Suprima S. Just the cons, the plastics gear knob. IMO Preve dashboard panel looks more exclusive compared to Suprima S. What about you guys?

does preve premium comes with reverse sensor or cam?

The gear knob can be changed. RM180+.

No reverse camera, only reverse sensor. HU supports reverse camera, can be installed fairly easily.

I'm using Preve LE. I bought it instead of Suprima S because of its looks and the car itself is comparable to Suprima S.

donno, maybe the price they already cut down their profit potion i think..
for 4k discount, is it 2014 or 2013 car?
to choose between 2013 or 2014 really depend on your preference if both specs are the same...
but for preve, get the latest 2014 better...

I know many who dislike Preve "fake wood" trim laugh.gif laugh.gif
They prefer the one in Suprima, but now you say the opposite? biggrin.gif

Oh, btw, Suprima Exec is using 16" Rim as the tyres, only Premium Suprima uses 17" Rims.
And ask around seller here, I got quoted 17" tyres much cheaper than the price you thought it would. below RM300 is possible. Below RM600 is also possible.
Rabak poket only by choice, you can choose which tyres you want smile.gif

Just got my car 2 weeks ago, Preve CFE ANCAP 2014, 2.5k discount.

First week
- Nappa leather seat (2.5k)
- 85% highway + 15% kampung => 8.7L/100km (RM 100 = first 550km)

Second week
- Reverse camera (RM 320)
- 100% city drive => 12.8L/100km (still driving) - mileage about 680 now.

Next will buy some small accessories, coil mat, trunk tray.. and probably get new HU after 2 years, was waiting to see if there's any aftermarket Apple Carplay during that time.

Is Preve LE HU same as Preve CFE HU? Or like Suprima HU?

Preve CFE HU

QUOTE(spikee7 @ Mar 18 2014, 05:09 PM)
donno, maybe the price they already cut down their profit potion i think..
for 4k discount, is it 2014 or 2013 car?
to choose between 2013 or 2014 really depend on your preference if both specs are the same...
but for preve, get the latest 2014 better...
one question, ur LE got those head light leveling switch?
*
No, my LE does not have levelling switch, even the light is without levelling feature.

They prefer the one in Suprima, but now you say the opposite? biggrin.gif

Oh, btw, Suprima Exec is using 16" Rim as the tyres, only Premium Suprima uses 17" Rims.
And ask around seller here, I got quoted 17" tyres much cheaper than the price you thought it would. below RM300 is possible. Below RM600 is also possible.

Proton should highlight this features. People doesn't know this features was available... Preve doesn't come with auto brake lock right? They said that international safety standard and they have to remove that features.

Well i am more concern of Auto Locking - Snatch thieves would easily open your door to grab hold of your bag or whatever in sight when we stop at traffic light. That would be a safety concern. All other cars we have so far does auto lock - so its hard to remember locking up since normally cars will autolock when we drive certain speed or press on brake paddle.

It would cost RM400 at SC, currently able to get around RM280 due to promotion.

Outside SC I still not check but seems like it's very hard to get the size for NGK ILKAR7G7.....

And warranty void also another concern if you do not purchase from SC.

Hi Preve owners, I am also considering joining the club. I am also looking to upgrade mty ride to the Preve 1.6 Exec CVT (Non-CFE). Currently my ride is the Saga FL Manual Executive. My concerns are as follows:

1. CVT noise - how bad is this or its bearable?
2. Engine Noise - compare with my Saga, I guess I can accept this.. biggrin.gif
3. Power and pick-up - consulted with SA, recommended me to go for CFE but I do not have the budget. Is the pick-up really bad? I did not want to go for test
    drive as the one they have is a CFE and is not the model I am looking at.
4. FC - they say the normal CVT model drinks quite a fair bit but if go outstation is good - similar to my Saga FL?

Do please give comment/your thoughts on the above. I am very keen to upgrade to the Preve. Thanks

Thanks everyone for your feedbacks/comments/thoughts. Will definitely be seriously looking into this car. Hopefully can get good discount. Thanks again everyone. notworthy.gif

just sharing my experience.as proton slogan says, drive it to believe it.

on 17th march 2014, i went to proton glenmarie temasya service centre for my 20k km service.

complaint on my seat, vibration, cvt leak and follow up regarding my last complaint about front windows rubber lining as well.

in the evening, i was informed i need to leave the car as they found out vibration on my car was not due to engine mountings but a loose tensioner pulley. i was OMG. mileage was slightly over 20k km, not even 21k km yet.
they promised to settle it the next day once all parts arrive. well, i have already guess it by that day with many experiences i read in the net that it is impossibru.

now i am sharing my experience that my car is still at proton service center until today. fourth day and they still cannot verify with me how much longer i have to wait.
already email to we care and someone to help push the order/ repair job on the that night when my car was admitted to service center.

i guess this is normal eh? sweat.gif

p/s: my 1st proton car and my first car that have to overnight at service center. coincidence? shocking.gif
today is my preve's 1st year roadtax n insurance renewal, and i havent even got the chance to stick new roadtax to my preve. cry.gif

Hi Guys, I seem to have problems with my Reverse Auto. Car doesn't seem to want to move after engaging. Sent it just 3 days after getting the car and SA said they "calibrated" the gears. But now still the same.
Any advise?

Got any slope? Clutch based gearbox behaves differently from conventional automatic. I do feel it's harder to let the car creep in reverse, like how I used to drive, but it is normal.

Hi, hope someone can help a noob here with 1st time car buying tongue.gif

So I've got a deal with an SA for CFE for RM70k. Downpayment RM10k.

I'm a bit confused by how the loan is calculated. The SA told me the formula to calculate it is RM60k (loan) * 2.9% (interest) * 7 (years) + RM60k / 84 (months) which brings the monthly payment to RM859.

Is this correct? What I want to know is why he has to x 7 (years)?

The 7 years so your monthly installment would be lower. But the interest rate is higher.

Because the 2.9% is a the flat annual interest rate for 7 years.

Which means, for 7 years you pay a total of 2.9% x 7 = 20.3% of interest of your RM60k.

To be exact

2.9% interest is base on p.a (per annum)..

Hence the x7

No, no slope. Even on even ground sometimes it just doesn't move until you press down on the accelerator.
Ok, I presume this is normal. Man, what a way to find out. I seriously thought I had a defected auto gear box

CFE for RM70k? Year 2014? Better than me, my SA give only RM2k discount for year 2014 CFE. That's why I haven't bought yet.

3. Recon cars 5%

Starting 18 March 2014, but when I called my friends... most will only start using this figures next week.

So now car salesman are really pushing the sales this week.

I tot so too.

But the news on the insurance hike was also scoop by the same blog. That is like 3 days before the news finally came out on local news.

That time also I called my friends at CIMB Bank and also a few of my friends who are car salesmen and they said no at first. Then later found out it was true.

nope.. probably a little bit increased.. people who have been getting 3% would be getting close to 3.5.. and 2.8% getting 3..
interest rate is offered according to an individual record with bank, CCRIS, CTOS, the banks confidence in u being able to make the payment and etc... there is no set interest offered... the offers from car manufacturers is actually them compensating to the banks for the reduced interest rate..
like how ford did the 1.88% promo late last year..

I tot so too.

But the news on the insurance hike was also scoop by the same blog. That is like 3 days before the news finally came out on local news.

That time also I called my friends at CIMB Bank and also a few of my friends who are car salesmen and they said no at first. Then later found out it was true.

My friend from HLB said it's tru also


QUOTE(khairilyazit @ Mar 20 2014, 10:30 PM)
nope.. probably a little bit increased.. people who have been getting 3% would be getting close to 3.5.. and 2.8% getting 3..
interest rate is offered according to an individual record with bank, CCRIS, CTOS, the banks confidence in u being able to make the payment and etc... there is no set interest offered... the offers from car manufacturers is actually them compensating to the banks for the reduced interest rate..
like how ford did the 1.88% promo late last year..
*
One of my banker friend said the effective interest rate is almost the same as current interest rate rclxub.gif

Just got my car 2 weeks ago, Preve CFE ANCAP 2014, 2.5k discount.

First week
- Nappa leather seat (2.5k)
- 85% highway + 15% kampung => 8.7L/100km (RM 100 = first 550km)

Second week
- Reverse camera (RM 320)
- 100% city drive => 12.8L/100km (still driving) - mileage about 680 now.

Next will buy some small accessories, coil mat, trunk tray.. and probably get new HU after 2 years, was waiting to see if there's any aftermarket Apple Carplay during that time.

This is likely the better thing to upgrade than BK in my opinion..

Its not real leather, its vinyl or artificial leather but the quality is good
Yes, it has the premium feeling and you can enjoy it inside, unlike BK that only other ppl can see it
I change it because I just got my baby boy recently and I don't want any hassle to clean up the fabric seat later

is correct bro , interest calculated per year . if you loan 7 year mean  60x2.9% (1yr interest )  x 7 =  7yr interest  ,  plus the loan amount that is the total u need to pay .

btw , 70k for CFe ? so less discount  rclxub.gif

But recently heard that the interest rate is going to increase.

Have to see by how much difference the interest rate be...

But if let's say 2.80 vs 3.00 is minimal...

Car value does depreciate from time to time.. even it's still within the same year but if you don't need it now, then it's better to buy it later..
You can treat as if you have bought now, save the installment money and convert them to downpayment when you are about to buy it. This way you save more $$$ compare to buying now with lower interest.

Hope that helps.

If let's say you can get 2.70%, an increase of 0.50% will make it 3.20%

Let's do some mathematical calculation if you will save let's say if you delay by 12 months later.

- Assume you purchase Preve Exec
- Dp 10%, Loan Amount put it 54,000 @ 2.7%
- Come out to monthly installment RM764.36
- Take RM 764.36 x 12 months and use this money to dump into as "Downpayment" --Initial 10% + RM 9000 (assuming you are discipline and consistent enough)
- So despite the extra 0.5% it seems you are still paying lesser interest
- Of course you need to factor into other things... such as depreciation ... improved model.... possibility of facelift with same pricing etc....

Please see my table below

Hi guys!

Is it normal for a Preve Executive's FC (fuel consumption) to go around 180-210km for RM50 ?

This 180-210km is noted right when it drops to 1 bar of fuel indication. (Right when the 2nd bar disappears)

Mainly City Drive, stop-go traffic.

Please don't use bar to measure fuel consumption.. It's largely inaccurate and misleading.

The right method to measure your FC? Google it.. it has been shared many times across the forum too..

If I were to answer you (no spoon feeding)
... then take RM50 / per litre price = LITRES of FUEL

Distance Traveled (Mileage) / LITRES OF FUEL = xx KM/Litre

Go to www.fuelly.com and check it out with other Preve around there to compare yours...

if mainly city drive, plus stuck in heavy jam once a while, the millage is ok.
my cfe only can get around 400km per full tank, 70% city, 30% highway.

Yup. I just found that info few minutes ago. The thing is, I would like to know the detailed loan scheme for that plan if anyone have that info.

What I know is

9 years loan
Just pay according to the schedule.... (You can download the brochure in proton's website)

IMO, It's not worth it ... the interest would sum up to around 3.9%..and by after 3rd years the monthly installment is already equal to the conventional's or perhaps even surpasses them... 5th year onwards.. you are paying more than you should.

if mainly city drive, plus stuck in heavy jam once a while, the millage is ok.
my cfe only can get around 400km per full tank, 70% city, 30% highway.

Thanks for the reply, hong. Preve's FC is slightly higher than other cars yeah?

May i know how much do you pump for full tank?

But CFE, I'm sure you sometimes will 'tekan' right? brows.gif

for full tank, i pump RM80 to RM 90 due to i always refill when it left one bar. dont dare to wait it alert~haha
while for driving style, i usually casual cruise only. not always tekan it.
this car is heavy, when you stuck in jam or stop/go, it take some power to move the car from standstill, thats the part make FC high.

I had tried the non cfe twice from car rental.
The car size is good but still lack of something.
Engine... very lack of power. Compare to Waja and Persona. I not sure is CVT things or not. I had tried 1.6 FLX before but the feeling is bout same. The engine noise is loud. When u accelerateg, you can hear loud noice, dun know from engine or gear box. RPM is high but car not moving.
Giving me chance I would rather take Waja any time compare to non cfe.
I have no comment on CFE.

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.

because dealers would buy and then keep it in their inventory. Once the dealer signed the car receiving, it is off proton's hand.

The original filter is plastic mesh, can be washed.

I added a paper filter on top of it.

i have a question here,,,knw first tat i'm not anti proton,,i don't do butt dyno,ketuk2 for reliability or hoping sports performance on these cars.Priority of making car should always be like this as customer:safety(active<=passive))>reliability>efficiency>usability(market targeted)>performance...With that said,in my opinion neither perodua or proton have been producing really bad but good cars for the money n improved a lot(in detail,yes),,,i don't just do some barbarian styled evaluation.

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.
Here's like ,,"why' :honda vs preve.,,,think carefully pls>>lol,,pls
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)
How the hell does honda,which have better mpg does only have Euro emission of 2 while preve is '5"(more is better).Even ford's highly "fuel economy-focused" ford fiesta,some of them are only euro 3 n 4.But this not-so-fancy(it is good but...) engine +heavy body),achieves 5 n they even claim they have prepare it for future doh.gif (it looks like edge of it in terms of mpg)

PLs forgive for long post n forgive me if i'm being rude,,,but that's normal, whistling.gif ,Pls read carefully,,n explain to me because reading statitics alone,nothing shakehead.gif
No war pls,,. i would not like some replies from peeps who replies without them knw wat they r talking about,shouting,cursing,the statistic guy(robots),n pretty much,,pls,,stay away. vmad.gif

Other than that,the car sound perfect to me wink.gif wink.gif

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..

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...

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).

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.

In my case.. yes indeed BHP has always give me more mileage compare to the rest.

So far for this new car I have not used others anymore than BHP..

Perhaps will try when the tank dries up as I avoid mixing

I always thought all range of BHP are good, but if we read directly on the fuelly data, it seems BHP 97 gives more mileage than BHP 95,
while on one hand, Caltex 95 can give similar result as BHP 97 hmm.gif

EDIT: I'll always fill up whenever the reading left one bar, don't dare to wait until the last bar is blinking, afraid of what it would do to

I find BHP to suit the car best. More mileage, more responsive. I avoid Primax 95 at all cost, my car felt sluggish and contributed to lower mileage.

I went from sentul to bota (perak) last week on full tank and managed to survive 600++km using shell 95... but I think its the attitude of the driver that affect the fuel consumption the most... I drove only +10kmh over the speed limit and forced myself not to hit the throttle too hard

Been using all these while @ my old car..

No issue at all..

I think people always mistaken about Metal King Titanium vs Metal King Gold.

Gold will eats your rotor but not the case for Titanium.. that's why Titanium you see more dust than the Gold's

Just wait until you compete the warranty period, then you can opt to service outside.

if not for the traffic jam, i could probably get over 600km.. me? i drive like an uncle but initial start i let the car roll, the half throttle until desired speed, release throttle then re-apply gently.. it helps the cvt to lower the ratio down... much like how u would force an automatic gb to shift up.. my usual speed is 70-90 kmh.. but pantang kena cucuk2..

yup.. how is ur driving style? i always find the least jammed roads even if its 5km further.. cause i could save a lot more...
i notice the cvt will maintain a high ratio if u plant your foot down and not let go if reached desired speed..

Guys~~i sent my car for the 5k service at Section 13 Service Center this wednesday~~

the Service Agent told me that there is a new version of ECU Mapping just released yesterday (Tuesday) and recommend me to wait an additional 30 minutes for the update...

well im not sure others have problems like this....previously there are some jerking when i drive at slow speed (highly acceptable in my opinion) and the clutch like not engage when stop and go on steep slope...(same goes to reverse up slope when parking)~~

but after the new ECU mapping, the car feels MUCH MORE RESPONSIVE and the jerking is even further reduced (used to jerk mildly for 3 times now...max 1 time)~~up hill acceleration improved significantly....engine break also felt stronger~~

Anyway..the downside is..i noticed the fuel consumption is slightly increased (i always look at the meter for FC changes) i reckon this is a small price to pay for a smoother drive~~

anyway mine is CFE ANCAP~~recommend u guys to update this new ECU Mapping....

Also recommend Sec 13 Service Center...got free white coffee and astro~~plus wifi (i did not use it as i never use up my plan's data)~~service staff is nice and polite....did not recommend me any other weird stuff (except X1R during the 1st service)

In your receipt, should have written the description of ECU with its version number, i.e. 4412.
Mind sharing it out?

ANyone having this similar problem? i just changed new battery fr few month how come still like that, could it be the cable loose or wht shit? really damn tired going back to SC again n again


and lately, my 15k service charged me about rm300+... is that normal? then each 5k service also rm300? gonna cost that much?

Just FYI, brake dust is not solely from pads, some of it consists from rotor shavings too.

So any pads that are high dust, I'd be cautious.

Got my CFE today, first full tank RM101.10. Already done 15km when taking the car. Tried the rain sensor (raining in Kesas) and Auto light, both work splendidly. But in Federal Hway slow moving jam, without touching the accelerator, the car moving jerkingly with tacometer move up and down, while aircond felt cold and less cold intermittently, it could be aircond not stable? Electrical Relay issue?

8pm went out for dinner with my new purchase, alas, no HEADLAMP! Oh oh! Proton oh Proton, No light! Turning the left knob down to "Auto", no light, turn up 2 bars, no light, turn all the way to main light, ALSO no light! OMG! There's such light when tested it in show room. Try High Beam light, yes, there's high beam, the rest nothing. Fog lamp got as it is by pressing button control. No choice, but to drive out with High Beam light and just back from dinner. Anyway, it is "within" expectation lah...now flipping the thick manual....

I guess I have suffered from "Stockholm syndrome" where I readily accept lousy QC of Malaysian "Proud" car which I proudly choose it over Honda City and spend my hard earned money on.

Then called 1800 888 398, spoke to a good "QC" staff, helpful, share my unhappiness, guided me properly to the service facilities in CouE (Centre of un"Excellence"), can get service without appointment as it is related to safety issue (driving without head light is safety!!), will spend time there reading the thick manual, for "safety" purpose!

U know what.. everyone keeps posting 20k service costs RMxxx is it normal?
30k is it normal?

I mean why not just share out the itemized billing/receipt and let us look at it?

Seems to be a lemon unit but most of us even as we are happy with our cars when received...

We also visit SC too soon to fix certain shits

Mine
- Helicopter Braking (Known Issue)
- Alignment Lari


Yup seems to be small issue but really Proton should still do a better job in this. To make it harder, COSE only allows warranty claim during weekday yet the waiting time is superb long even just for a usual service. Dealers SC not standardized enough and not willing to do claim.
To be honest, as much as we like the Preve.. Proton still have a lot of improvements to make.

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.

Guys~~i sent my car for the 5k service at Section 13 Service Center this wednesday~~

the Service Agent told me that there is a new version of ECU Mapping just released yesterday (Tuesday) and recommend me to wait an additional 30 minutes for the update...

well im not sure others have problems like this....previously there are some jerking when i drive at slow speed (highly acceptable in my opinion) and the clutch like not engage when stop and go on steep slope...(same goes to reverse up slope when parking)~~

but after the new ECU mapping, the car feels MUCH MORE RESPONSIVE and the jerking is even further reduced (used to jerk mildly for 3 times now...max 1 time)~~up hill acceleration improved significantly....engine break also felt stronger~~

Anyway..the downside is..i noticed the fuel consumption is slightly increased (i always look at the meter for FC changes) i reckon this is a small price to pay for a smoother drive~~

anyway mine is CFE ANCAP~~recommend u guys to update this new ECU Mapping....

Also recommend Sec 13 Service Center...got free white coffee and astro~~plus wifi (i did not use it as i never use up my plan's data)~~service staff is nice and polite....did not recommend me any other weird stuff (except X1R during the 1st service)

at least they recommend you the X1R, I went to puchong YES car care, they never mentioned it to me and direct use it during my first service, when i pay the bill and post up in fb only know the X1R is not necessary for new car.

Complaint for brake helicopter sound but they not entertain me, just said my car still low mileage, let it hit until 2k first. Seriously won't go back again, will go PJ section 13 for 2nd service.

Anyway, are you guys recommend semi or full synthetic engine oil? any specific need to tell the SC If i want use full syn?

Exactly.. wondering why people recommended "YES CAR CARE" except you don't need to make appointment in advance. Other than that, nothing to shout about.

By the way, If my first service using semi oil, the next service should be after 3 months or 6 months? service sticker written next service is 5k, but i don't think I will drive until 5k within 3 months, need to confirm on this...

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.

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

Preve LE is just RM1k discount.

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.

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...

Hmm my left headlamp has burnt out, which reminds me of some posts in previous Preve threads before, that it is a problem.

So now I have an excuse to change the light bulb, do you guys think a voltage stabilizer would help in the future? And the size for the light bulb is H7, right?

I not sure voltage Stabilizer would help or not for this case, but in fact it improve the brightness..

Yeah planning to change to that, still looking for the cheapest I can get. Currently on Mudah for RM 160 hmm.gif

Still need to dig information about voltage stabilizer if it indeed does help.

Quite good I will say...

Except it's an 2013 unit but the Leather Seat... R3 BK... and others are pretty tempting... Need not further $ spend to "facelift" the car...

It is 2013 manufactured car. Im not sure if it comes with 6 airbags but i guess it should.

Other than bk, leather seat and rim, what make LE different than premium?

Will in grant show LE instead of premium?
