Hi, just got my Fire Red Preve yesterday evening after more than a month waiting for it. So far enjoying the ride, acceleration is great.

Just want to ask one thing about the braking, there's a continuous gluk gluk sound coming in only when I'm braking and the steering shakes a little bit. Is it normal for the car as I am just coming to 100KM with it and will it be gone as I rake in the kilometers?

Glad if anybody can enlighten me smile.gif

normal because the disc rotor is imba. try to claim from SC stating your issue. most of us here have claim rotors to solve the issue and approved.

Would be glad if you can share some picture here.

Too lazy to snap pics and my camera basically has the quality of a potato haha. Basically the same as any other you can find on the net.

Right now I am still trying to get the feel of the car. Quite a heavy car, had some trouble while stopping at a steep slope to take the ticket from the machine. You know la the queue is slow and quite a chore to maintain the car from slipping back down.

Surprisingly I don't have any trouble with slow response or lag as many of the complaints. Accelerating at traffic lights and coming in to roundabouts from stop position I feel is normal and okay.

Good luck and may you get your order as soon as possible. Btw what colour did you choose? smile.gif

Metallic E. Brown and as what i saw under sunlight like gold shining colour so i pick that.

My house got metallic silver car and black already so don`t want the silver.

Owh ya how do you describe steep slope. Because when i test drive the preve at slope it did not roll back. How steep is your slope ?

If you are KL people the slope got as steep as Mid Valley IGB Tower when going up to parking ? ( Because as i know i drove many auto car only that place parking when climbing up will roll down because its too steep. )

Others like Sunway, Subang, PJ Up Town, and many more steep slope i never experience roll back before.

I scare behind people follow too close then the car roll back then there comes problem. Last time at Mid Valley there got people follow kissing my car buttock so near lucky no roll back. Some driver tak sabar sabar rushing and like to follow people near near.

Don't know how to describe it haha. Coming from the Saga FL the slope I never had problem before going up until I drove on it with the Preve. Preve is a heavy car as we know but maybe it's just me having to get used to the car.

Tag me later when you get your new car. I want to hear your experience with it smile.gif.

I'm living nearby JB btw, so long haven't been to mid valley and such haha. Last time was during uni days. Haih feel like old fag already cry.gif cry.gif
