Yes, accurate description which I experience in my vehicle as well. This is the vibration or "low frequency drone" from the engine I am referring to.

The vibration and low frequency drone are most prominent during full throttle acceleration(depress fully to the metal). Of course there will be sound in other cars during full throttle but the sound from the Campro Turbo engine of the Preve Turbo is different in an unpleasant way.

With light footwork, the sound of the engine during acceleration at low speeds is still bearable though at mid-speed acceleration the low frequency drone is louder.

my preve also hv, not only turbo facing this

Ok. I presume this is a trait of the Campro engine which emits a louder and unpleasant growl when compared to a more robust and linear growl (rather pleasant) from other Japanese and European engines. And softer growl too even if depressed to the metal in full throttle.

Proton trademark of their engine sound keh.... Hahaha....

If you have no family, u cna get iriz...or else i advice you to take preve premium 1...

if budget dont allow u to do so, then get iriz...i think iriz 1.6 premium is so far better than 1.6 preve executive~

Yes agree....if got family and going to setup a family soon...a sedan car is more suitable...else just iriz.... I used to buy myvi last time after school... First married still ok as all baby things still can put inside...but when 2nd child I know cannot already. Hv to change to sedan car.

i just notice this preve got a special function... or now all new car comes with this, during heavy rain we switch the wiper to full speed to wipe the screen, but when car slow down and stop at traffic light, the wiper turn slow also. once i start drive the car again, the wiper turn back to full speed. it follow the driving speed?

now my temporary solution is close the door with some force, then switch on the alarm and see on the in door light see still light up or not....

yeah, child lock protection.
dunno about others car, as this is my first car.
don't think that feature should be enabled by default la.
not everyone straightly go read the manual the moment they got the car.

u not alone. 1st day i get my car i also hv this child lock enable on 1 of the back door.. but i didnt check so properly that time when take car. i just test open door from outside not inside... then when my wife sit inside and want to went out, door cant open... i was wondering... wat.... proton quality issue? luckily i check the child lock first... and luckily is child lock...

Learnt from a friend that the tyre pressures can affect the ESC mechanism (my ESC has triggered 3 times, non blinking).

Went to set the pressures at 22 (front) and 21 (back) as stated in the manual. They were set higher before my adjustment at about 30.

I think now the steering is easier and smoother. And the drive is smoother as well. Ha. Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me! Ha.

Try it and see if you see the same.

if follow manual is 220 right? u push to 300 ? so now steering get lighter? i am going to try it out tonight

hi just want some opinion..
is it worth getting used preve cfe year 2012 coz that price is quite affordable to me..as it will be my first car..n will most probably use on weekend getaway..really appreciate your comment..tq
*
price diff a lot ?

suggestion is get the latest price (from salesmen with after all the rebate and discount) and the used car price. then also compare the interest rate and total cost of ownership after the number of year loan... if after the calculation the TCO is diff less then 8-10k i would suggest get a new car better.

QUOTE(DuGalle @ Dec 5 2014, 10:47 AM)
Thinking of upgrading from my Saga BLM to a new Proton either a Preve or an Iriz...either one is fine. I like the Preve but am a bit cautious on all its fitting and finishings as the Iriz is slightly nicer in that department. I quite like all the nice auto wiper auto headlights functions in the Preve, its size and its power but am still a bit torn on either car. I feel the Preve has a bit more added value for its space and features but the Iriz just seems like a more natural buy.

Currently I travel in the city between Nilai and KL during the weekends and city driving during the weekdays. In my saga, a full tank at a cost of ~RM63 can get me about 260-300km of petrol before the light blinks. What's the basic cost of fuel in a Preve (full tank cost and range)? Fuel consumption is one of the things I'm concerned on the Preve but understand that it's a bigger car etc.

Any advice from you guys on whether an Iriz or a Preve is a better buy or should I be waiting for a facelifted updated engine version...or the Saga 3? dry.gif

preve,

last time when i was yong, i take myvi, then after married ..still can tahan...firt kid come out a lot of things i need to carry..everyday my myvi jam pack with kids things. goto shopping mall buy groceries then whole car will be full....

both are good.. if u are ok with the current specs in Preve premium then should go with it..

hmm both are more or less same in handling.. the difference would be the weight, interior, space, boot space..

if u didnt plan car within 10 years, i think u should go for Preve. Standard Family car.. spacious, got big boot space.. weight higher so FC might be different level with common small car..

Iriz is good for working/study.. long distance also can.. just in future if u have family, baby, baby chair and other equipments put together, boot space might not so enough.. but other than that, its still is a good car.. very comfort ride on iriz..

the time i buy preve, got some news about iriz ady, but i didnt wait it, direct go for preve.. coz i want a big car.. i only get 4k discount and some free gifts only.. i should wait until recently to get best deal..
*
same hre, my wife book preve end of august, that time we also know proton and perodua will come out new compact car... but we no longer look for small car. so take preve, that time was wondering take the premier spec or exec type.... my agent told me if my wife not those speeding type and normally drive below 100km/h... just take exec wil do... save same 10k... he don mind he earn less commission ....

by the way, where u install reverse camera? i want get 1 also for mine.

at the highway just now... saw a viva was driving at fast land for around 90 i assume, but a car drive even faster and just follow his car so tight. this rude attitude i face before also when i drive small car.... sometimes we just want to take fast lane for a while when middle car is driving just around 70-90 and the car just want pass the slow car and then eventually when return back to middle lane... but just always got those rushing to die ppl always like to drive so near when saw small compact car driving at fast lane....

sometimes i also see some bus driving at fast lane when want to overtake a lorry, i wondering why those car don want drive so near the bus and kiss bumper to bumper.

guess this is another reason i suggested my wive to take sedan and not small car.
