turbo should go faster mine cvt itself 190 already blush.gif

my case is full press pedal.. from 100km/h.. accelerating consider quite ok and average fast from 100km/h to 160km/h.. from 160km/h to 180km/h consider very slow to go up ady and car can feel slightly floating.. after 180km/h and got car infront, so stop ady.. try both times also like that.. but i feel my car hardly to go further anymore.. just let my car exercise a while before 1k service..

still recommend drive safe.. 100km/110km/h is very stable car out there..

tyre kena cucuk 1 steel bar.. very long d.. and its not direct into it straightly, but senget a little bit.. cause side of tyres broken and "pregnant" ady.. so its actually danger to continue drive that way.. so changed the whole new tyres.. only 1.. i changed back GT radial, same model from stocks tyre.. rm250 total cost.. if changed other brand then very expensive yet..

Wah, lucky guy! And good SC manager who is aware of your problem and constraint.

Now your Preve must be like a quiet stealth car! Ha.

Like to get some feedback from those playing songs from pendrive via USB media in your Preve. OK to leave the pendrive in the car? Or CD? 100% no problem or may get damaged over time under the hot sun?

Thanks.
*
i just burn some songs into a CD and usb.. i just plugged it all the times.. it will rmb which song i stopped.. quite good d.. i think should be no problem.. im using kingston old black colour pendrive(quite long), still able to close there..

whole HU i only complaints bad GPS map..and why proton skipped reverse camera for us.. should add it.. extra few hundred for me its ok..

Another way you can stream your HP song by bluetooth.
So far my gf doing so, and the sound quality seem quite ok.
*
im only use bluetooth on calling only.. but i do know yes able to to listen music through bluetooth..

QUOTE(Logi1300 @ Aug 12 2014, 11:46 AM)
May I know how to do that ?

I tried before. I pair my phone bluetooth with the HU bluetooth. but it cant works.
*
CFE version? go to setup, turn on bluetooth.. go to phone setting>on bluetooth and pair with CAR HU.. PIN should be 1234 or 0000. once paired, then able to call using HU. if want stream music through bluetooth, press button "MEDIA" on HU. it will change within USB,AUX,CD,BLUETOOTH.

i tested only USB and CD. works well.. bluetooth phone calling also work nicely.. even using LINE free call also can. Just need press and call manually in LINE apps, then leave it and enjoy the free call with people.

Rm50 petrol pump from last time when indicator light on. Until now walk around 280km ady. Now car estimated another 100km to go. I expected at least able to go around 50k more. So mean total achieved by me for rm50 petrol will be around 330km. Mean rm10 for 66km. Each litre around 13km.

Consider not so good Fc. If people want good Fc, for sure not this car. Go for smaller or lighter car. But this car come with good stability and comfort.

is it worth to do leather steering wrap for RM300 with carbideco.

Noted something strange when I went to JPJ to sort out the road tax & pink card for my old car. I took my foot off the pedal, the instant FC read 0 L/100KM.

How can it be 0 L even though I took my foot off the pedal as there is some fuel going to the engine?

Based on the above observation, I don't think they are using a flowmeter to measure the petrol going to the engine but using the pedal position to estimate.

How accurate is this FC then? Has anyone cross checked this FC reading? I will do it over 5 petrol topping up. KM traveled and petrol added to the tank.

Reading the manual and found some surprises in there and also some questions for the sifus here to help. Will do that this weekend.

Cheerio.

lol.. dont actual looks on this.. this just a guide line only.. what u can check actuallyy is remember your petrol total amount and total distance.. then do own calculation must more better..

my standard is RM10 must get 60km.. if not consider average low.. but as PREVE premium is very heavy car.. so i reduce it to RM10 for 50km..but temporary my preve giving me around RM10 = 60km+.

Just checked the spare wheel as I wanted to ensure that the pressure is at the required 4 bars.

They say it is smaller. By smaller, I thought they were referring to tyre's width (narrower). I stood it side by side against the normal wheel. It is about an inch shorter! Now imagine putting that spare wheel on, the car will be tilted at one corner! Now I cannot understand why they use this smaller wheel and not the same size wheel as the rest.

Or is this the norm for other non Proton cars?

Thanks.

why spare tyre smaller due to want to remind u go change/repair ur punctured tyre ASAP. no matter u buy which car, spare tyre always smaller 1 inch than original..

Sifus!
Im facing a dilemma here..
Im going down to Kedah from KL next week.
Estimated 850km for return trip.
Plus mileage now is already 150km.

I got one week of work left which will round up to 200km this week.

By this time i would have passed my 1k service.
SA told me SC would forfeit my 1k service.
But i got no choice but to go for the kedah trip.

Please advise..  doh.gif  doh.gif
*
please inform your SA first before u go for your trip. It's ok as long as dont over extremely..

if 200km+850km = 1050km only.. its ok.. coz my case, i exceed 1000km too near to around 1150km.. still ok.. as long as u are not go to 2000km only go 1000km service.. there is no statement must go service at 1000km accurately.. if that SA cannot help, go other service centre.. no need let that service centre earn money..

dear sifus..after having my awesome wira for 14 years flex.gif  i am currently planning to get a new car. after much consideration and brainwashing/nagging mad.gif  from my gf(coz i planned to get a civic but she ask me to save the money for my house renovation sad.gif )..i am currently considering the CFE variant..since this car was released 2 years ago..i would like to know if anyone do have any issue with their gearbox?
*
hmm.. civic down to preve.. save a lot of.. at least 40k.. i think listen to ur gf quite good suggestion... so far didnt heard people said got gearbox problem.. between these 2 cars, i would say leg room in preve is better than new civic. but overall civic giving better driving feelings.. but more or less same.. just civic refinement better a bit.. in msia, due to tax, civic price is higher than preve a lot.. so far with Preve Premium 73k pricing vs civic 118k~138k, preve consider a good choice too..
