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...

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

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.
*
This cost is part of my concern/consideration smile.gif

just asking, does Suprima S ass looks ugly? Your opinion please?

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.
*
I see... even the new ancap version still plastics?

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.
*
this, still considering this...

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

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...
*
2014 stock - Preve 4k disc
2013 stock - Suprima 7.5k disc

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

I prefer wood trim... but not as ugly as wira wood trim... tongue.gif
Suprima S light color trim makes it look cheap.. IMHO.... and wondering why Preve for Indonesia market use better HU (Blaupunkt) with larger Screen compare to our local market?
They should offer this HU with 2014/3 Model or ANCAP Model...
