Interesting. I don't get the helicopter sound and maybe that is because I have not braked when going at 60 kph.

Do I read it correctly that this free brake helicopter sound repair is only for up to 1500 km and after that it will be on own account? Hope not.

Cheerio.

Guys, few questions:

1. Does the instant fuel consumption is correct?
2. I'm facing excessive smoke/smell coming into the cabin. This is not normal right?
3. I scarp my rim a bit, any fix for that?

guys, need some advice...

is it advisable to install r3 bodykit with the standard 16" rims? almost going for r3 but last minute changed my mind after i whacked my standard bumper yesterday morning

Not fair to 2014 model then....
should come with standard...

True as well lah... Haha....

btw, my friend told me that this Preve's doors (included passenger's side) can be opened by 2 times of the handle even the all doors have been locked previously. Is it true? sounds like dangerous if fetching children at the back...

After listen to you all seems like the only way is to use child lock.....
No choice if really want to buy this car....

anything related to suspension warranty void.. but i dont think it covers the absorber as its wear and tear item

you try ditching xw50 engine oil see

I think the average FC also depends on the average speed. E.g.

average speed..... average FC

20 ......................  ~12
90 ......................  ~7
110 ....................  ~9

besides variables like start/stop, slowdown, sudden acceleration, etc.

I will try to get my average FC and average speed and see if I can get a graph to illustrate this.

My 2 cents.

For those who want to achieve better FC in the Preve Turbo, you may want to try driving in Manual mode instead of D and maintain the speed at around 80km/h (rpms at 2000+/-) in both city and highway driving conditions. Use the paddle shifters to upshift to the highest gear possible. I find the fuel economy to be slightly better if driving appropriately in Manual than in D, but you have to play with the pedal. Avoid stepping on the accelerator for too many times and be gentle with the footwork.

Of course, it gets tired after a while and back to D.

In contrary to your belief that Manual mode uses more fuel, my experience proved otherwise. It may be useful not to judge purely on the lower RPMS you are getting in D alone, but in actual real life driving conditions. You have to bear in mind that even if Manual mode registers a higher RPM than D in any given speed, just by keeping the RPMs below 2000 in Manual mode will register good fuel economy too, and in my experience better than D.

I have been driving the Preve Turbo for 13 months now and the petrol will need to be refilled in the 4th day(about 100km+/- left of petrol). For the whole of last week I was on Manual mode 95% of the time, I refilled on the 5th day with about 150km left.

Also, as a rough check, one may look at the "km left" on the display screen to judge whether D or Manual mode is more economical after a routine day's trip. With Manual mode, I seem to have more kilometres on the meter left after one day trip(more fuel left in the tank).

A disclaimer that since traffic conditions and driving patterns are not fixed variables, the comparison is not an entirely accurate assessment but still, the results do show.

thinking of getting 225/45/17
But scared it will hit body when full load.
is it ok with 215/50/17? comfy enough?

thank you very much mengsuan
I think i will go with 225/45/17
any brand to recomend?
budget below rm400(cheper is better)

I just googled up and understand what the above means...

for those who are noob like me...please refer here TYRE TALK - WHAT DO THE NUMBERS MEANS

Wonder what is the tyre size for stock Preve 16 inch rim~~?

it is 205/55R16 - so if i understand correctly, compare to LE's 215/45R17...
Preve stock tyre has less tyre width (-10mm) and thicker side walls (+16mm)....can i also translate this to Preve's stock tyre is by nature aimed for comfort and less performance as compared to LE one?

But given that the rim size is fixed (r16 for example)~~can it cater for different tyre width?

noted bro.
how much for the Goodyear Triplemax per donut?

boss, i'm using r3 bk at the moment and i never regret getting it at all. only problem is when you are going over bump or go into basement or roof parking. the bodykit is very low and that was why i decided to to change my rims to 17" with (215/50/17) tires even though my preve is 2 months old. yet, i still scratch the front bumper from time to time. go do balancing/alignment also have to tell the shop please be careful where to place the jack... my side skirting cracked when i did on-wheel balancing 2 weeks ago

just to share with you, my car cannot park inside terminal one seremban, ramp too high. palm mall seremban only can park first level roof parking. old wing 1utama open space parking also have to be very2 careful scratched once. there's another forumer here said his r3 front bumper scratched at paradigm mall

speaking about warranty, r3 ppl at proton COE said if using r3 17" rims won't void the warranty. proton edar SC senawang taipan said void warranty. previously my car cannot park inside the house (car porch too high) so just go ahead and change the rims

again like i said, no regret going through all these... except for the side skirt cracked and colleagues laughing at me whenever my car going through bump

if you change to 17" rims it might help a bit
boss, are you still using stock rims?

Currently contemplating between Mini 0801 or G1WH, both receive good reviews.
