Guys, it is OK for me to get the 2012 batch preve? Becoz I see alot of used preve in carlist and the price in quite in my range, but I heard that the 2012 batch got alot of problem? But proton offers 5 years warranty for preve right? So if I found any problem now on my 2012 used preve can I send to SC and settle those problem?

As long as the vehicle fulfills the terms & condition that Proton set.

Meaning previous owners had abide the policies in maintaining the car.. and the current owner should have all the documents to prove that.

But I suggest TS to go for New Preve with discount.... a lot of improvements already

Hmm if I get the used one and go to SC to solve those problem, will they solve for me since now they already have the solution for the problem

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.

Hmm so the vt3+ solve the whining sound, any other improvement?

mostly NVH.

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

Oh OK. tq very much :-)

Misleading price..
on the top main pricing is RM64k +

when you look at below OTR RM70,000+

Discount 6k max ? If Preve LE.. 79,000 discount 6k..

I don't know man... "reverse" also can spell wrongly.

A lot of those SAs simply put up attractive prices to attract people look into their ads... Just call and ask is the best

Yalo, seems like too good to be true lol

Some questions regarding the manual mode , I heard that in suprima s while using paddle shift after u step on brake then it will turn back to D mode? Is it the same in the preve? I assume that is a yes? Then what about the S mode? Can drive like a manual car where It won't turn back to auto even after step on the brake?

Im looking it too, cfe 1. Btw what's the price range for 2012 CFE used unit nao?
*
50-55k, can try to look at carlist or mudah.I think the most major problem on 2012 model is cvt whinning sound? Since the new model solved it, other than that should be some minor quality issue

I'm not a sifu, just a high school student (and lowyat silent reader lol). Your question may become a subject of laughter, honestly. Anyway, all turbocharged engines in the world have their turbos run PERMANENTLY. It's a vital mechanical of a turbocharged engine. No such thing as "turbo off" or whatever. The concept is similar to supercharger but turbos work differently.

To give you an idea...
Normal engine are just like our nose. Engine take outside air, burn, CO2 out.
Turbo/supercharged engine.. imagine your nose is a vacuum cleaner lol. Suck more air = more oxygen = bigger bang in the engine = more power and torque.

It doesn't really work like that of course, just to give you an idea of it's function icon_rolleyes.gif
*
Maybe he wants to noe the power of campro cfe without turbo since it's abit different compare to the iafm one

Just searched around for a 2nd hand preve cfe, visited one shop and the sales man keep on telling me the preve is a dead car shit car etc. The most funny part is he tells me that preve handling sucks and he point me to a forte 1.6 and tell me that is much better Lol? As far as I heard no matter how suck proton car is, the handling is superb.Btw was really wondering why ppl hate preve so much ?any major issue meh?

This one very easy to solve. Easy solution with step-by-step guide:

1) Ask him "Do you own a or have you owned a Preve?"

To which he will retort: "Never! Don't want to own that 'dead shit car' and will never own Proton!"

You have few options from here on. Choose wisely. You may:
A) Tell him: "Then you just shut the f*ck up lah." . And walk out.
B) Slap him. And walk out.
C) Take a Proton Preve brochure, hit his face with it. And walk out.
D) Take a KIA Forte brochure, stick it up his wherever. And walk out.

Or the ultimate choice.

E) Tell him 'Then you just shut the f*ck up lah.", slap him, take a Preve brochure and hit his face with your right hand, while simultaneous taking a KIA Forte brochure and stick it up his wherever with your left hand. And walk out. Consider running right after that.

IF ALL ELSE FAILS!! And he retorts: "Ya! I own a Preve and I hate it! I am a dead shit idiot!" . To which you only have one option..

A) Walk out the shop. Go online. Come to lowyat forum (don't bother post on FB cause your friends don't care), and cry to us. We will lend you a shoulder, but not our beloved Preve. tongue.gif

Good luck.

rclxms.gif haha good idea wor thumbup.gif

forte plastic doesnt looks more quality than preve. the car handle feels the same, the interior plastic also same. the steering ugly. rear looks cun abit.. but power, preve cfe smoke forte 1.6 or 2.0, anyday any time.
*
thumbup.gif yes , for me preve way better than that forte icon_rolleyes.gif

QUOTE(SothysSaleShop @ May 5 2014, 07:11 PM)
likely his forte stock can't sell that's why doing hard promoting to you tongue.gif

and you can tell him since preve damn sucks, can he lower another 10k or not ? you do him a favour by taking away his sucky car brows.gif
*
haha , maybe cannot sell sweat.gif

QUOTE(davidlow7 @ May 5 2014, 07:13 PM)
Well for me never need to bother what others think.. the fact is we chosen a decent car.... yes I say decent and not great because I am getting this car at only RM70k and what car do you get at RM70k with these features + quality.

But by its own class, it's a great car for sure.
*
thumbup.gif I would say preve is the best car for me in this price range , from safety , accessories , comfort to performance thumbup.gif

Guys, guess what. My car breakdown when i was driving in highway.
actually to be exact, its not breakdown because the engine is still on, it just that the gearbox sign alert was signalled. Whatever gear i put, the car just cannot move. This happen when i try to stop the car and pay the toll.
The car just cannot move and blocking the toll way.
This is the 1st embarrassment that i had since i was born.
Proton boleh!

somemore i just got my car serviced a week ago for 10K service.

Then how? Send to SC already? What's the problem?
