you know... i tried this:
set autocruise at any speed (in my case 80kph)
then the car in front is driving slower, so i press on throttle to overtake
release throttle, the speed would go back to the previous set speed (i.e 80kph)

autocruise not disabled, so no need to set your speed again thumbup.gif

Yes... overtaking with autocruise on..
Just continue to accelerate past and release - will back to normal

3. HU with reverse camera? Is it necessary, I heard that the reverse senor and view of preve is not good enough.

Thanks.

This is pretty individual preference.

The reverse sensor is sufficient to gauge the distance in most circumstances..

But the reverse camera will give an extra visibility on the objects behind especially children/animals/pets and etc ..

But the best practice whether you have camera or not is to always make sure your surrounding is clear before reversing. Walking towards your car back and observing before getting in to reverse may be necessary and the most safest. Sometimes camera also could have blind spot.

Installation of reverse camera means the HU there will have to install a LCD  screen izit ?

I plan to get preve executive. Can I install the reverse camera and head unit which is same as CFE model in executive model ?

Preve Exec I think you need to get a separate LCD screen.. but for Exec I seriously won't bother to install unless I first upgrade the HU....

I don't see the need to bring up an additional screen just for reverse use...

Not mine but it's around RM3xx @ EA Autoworks Bkt Jalil...

For peace of mind I think they provide good quality works though I am not yet a customer there... it's from most review and experience.

correct.. worry too much problem will just stop them to buy anything.. i feel very great and happy for this preve.. even though i havent get my new car, still in proton there.. but i do test drive once before.. i feel very good coz im driving proton iswara aeroback and proton tiara only.. preve is a very big upgrade from myself.. many ppl stop me and ask me dont buy proton coz useless and no resale value.. ask go for city, vios or almera.. but i compare those car with preve, around 70k one all are expensive than preve but with no specs.. safety feature, inbuilt feature preve is the best ady.. i dont want buy 1 kosong car with just expensive on brand name.. for me just same, i better buy proton preve.. we have to accept the current situation where foreign national car is expensive than national car coz of tax.. at least in this moment.. no point go buy a kosong car and pay installment so suffer..

got issue or not after that will know ady.. any problem just rectify with sc only lo.. confirm will take my car on tuesday ady.. after that only post up my feedback on it..  smile.gif
**Not try to condemn other brand car ya.. yes they are good.. but i cant afford.. i prefer highest specs of car.. so if compare highest specs within T,H,N,P1.. still P1 cheaper a lot.. paiseh, i cant be with my friends which income only 2200 but buy honda city V specs.. so i cant make it..
*
People who talk about RV only when buying a car...... should not buy a car...

I bet your Iswara/Tiara even after sold for $0 still make lesser losses compare to any Vios/City/Altis and above.

hahaha.. iswara still very healthy.. tiara a bit old ady.. want sell but cant sell.. haha.. that why renovate house since got 3 cars now while waiting tiara to be sold out..

i dont care about resale value.. coz in short term, i wont sell my car.. im not rich guy to keep changing cars like others.. hahaha..
*
For me.. RV is for those who intends to change car every 3 years.. to still retain a good value in order to roll over to next car..

Other than that..... always go for those you like and feel great driving it...

If scare rugi then they should always buy the cheapest car - Viva based on what we have in the market today..

$25,000 is all for you to lose it...

Car after 5 years or 7 years you are doomed to lose a lot.. If 10 years? Any car with good value also will drop else who can afford paying cash? + people who has this amount of cash are likely upgrading their choice and use it for downpayment instead.. hence the value of car will drop no matter what once it hits these certain level of years

CFE (Non-ANCAP)
CFE (ANCAP) -- i) 2013 & ii) 2014

Have to wait I refill the petrol again and see the actual FC.haha

Anyone here can share their FC for Preve Executive CVT ? Thanks. smile.gif

I am using syn 1000, should i change it when 5k KM come?? Some say new engine should change engine oil more frequent to prolong the engine lifespan.
*
I did that for first 10,000km

First Service 1,000km
Second Service 5,000km (Semi-Synt)
Third Service 10,000km (Semi-Synt)

Reason the engine is still new, frequent change will be better to remove the metal particles....



After that
Can start changing to Fully Synt and can go for 10,000km OCI.

Semi-Synt can go for 10,000km OCI for normal use as per Proton but I wouldn't want ... Perhaps 7,500KM is okay...

Just came back after booking my Preve Premium. Hope that I can still get the free 3 yrs service promotion.

Spoke to the head of car service there. His bro in law is using a Preve. When asked about the helicopter noise from Preve, he has not come across any yet though he has serviced many Preve here. Maybe Preve cars in Sarawak are better/lucky or we drive at a lower speed than in W M'sia. Ha.

Finally, closing and starting a new car chapter for me.

Cheerio.

mine went off after almost 2 months so i lazy go claim.

You mean you got the helicopter noise 2 months later and still not fixed yet as you are too lazy to do it? Ha.

On vibration problem, what can they do to fix that? I hope it is not a major job.

In Sarawak, we get very little salesman discount. Only RM500 for me. Like to know what gifts can one get from car purchases? Free 1 tank petrol, umbrella, vouchers. What else?

Thanks.

The helicopter just went off after 2 months.

I still yet to get to COSE since claim can only be done on weekday.. I need to apply AL which is very inconvenient.

Anyway, not sure about Sarawak discount but as I know CFE here can get discount around RM4500 + free gifts..

Planning to get the above for my Preve. In the past, I sent my Wira for washing at a shop nearby. But after what I have read/watched on the net, guess it is better for me to do my own car washing to avoid scratching the paint, etc. Good exercise for me and saving money as well! Ha.

Meguiars products are in the top range, right?

Like to have your view on the products. If you are already using a good car washing product, please share with us.

Thanks.

Actually no need to spend a bomb...

Just get a good washing liquid which the PH is not too strong for our car...

then get a good cloth, doesn't have to be expensive... I used something from DIY shop that costs less than RM20 for both washing and drying cloths....

I just wash it weekly or at least bi-weekly....

I just hate to wash 1 part - RIM!!!

The Preve's spare part easily gotten as well since it's a Campro. smile.gif
*
Not necessary when it comes to Campro it must be easier to get...
Secondly not necessary it does come cheap
Third, depends on what kind of parts because most of the parts are still sourced from other manufacturers e.g spark plug, alternators, water pump and etc....

when the global demand for this part is not high hence the price is high as well. Take example into the CFE's spark plugs, it will take some time unless there are already around 500K units of engine using the same set of plugs else it will continue to be expensive.

I requested permission to join the prevoc club on FB quite some time back (closed group). Today I posted Original BRAND NEW R3 bodykit (tranquillity black) for sale and was blocked from the group with no reason given. As a preve owner, I must say the administrator/moderator is an a-hole for doing that and deserves a slap from me. I would have at least appreciated a reason to why I was kicked out.

No selling items on the page? Anyone knows why? vmad.gif

There was already a page set up for selling items..... every page has its objective of why it being set up.

Why didn't you too deserve a slap on your face, for failing to understand the main objective before posting anything?
