Had a look at the new MY14 Preve while searching for the Almera

Noticed that the CFE badging all gone.

Worse still, engine cover and air intake had a very shoddy paint job sweat.gif

Well, display units tend to be 'under fitted' and subject to abuse biggrin.gif The badging is still there when customers receive their cars, like my neighbor smile.gif

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.

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.

Nope, not sticky.
