bro join prevoc club, u will know more

https://www.facebook.com/groups/preveownersclub/

and, if u jam at slope, do use handbrake to hold ur car instead of pressing the pedal, it might get overheated CVT.

Same issue with u, and i consider it as normal for preve la~

Guys, I have some doubts.

1. Preve 2014 is pre or post ANCAP?
2. Preve 2014 is better than the previous generation?
3. Why there is CFE engine? As I know 2013/2014 is +IAFM engine. Which one is better?
4. AT or MT is better? I plan to take MT because AT is underpower? Is there any problems face in MT so far?
5. Maintenance / service cost?

Please enlighten me. Thank you!

1. 2014 all is ANCAP which is all preve come with 6airbag, ETC
2. ANCAP is better
3. CFE is come with low pressure turbo, all IAFM+ is without turbo
4. AT for IAFM+ is underpower

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.
