My Fc. I just pump rm80 she'll into my car right after I received my car. And just drop to 2 bars just now. Check sid it show still got 176km to go. For me this turbo Fc is good. Why people say not good. It really depends on driver.

Currently driving highway and penang bridge. But most of time heavy jam for these 3 days. Between I do driving city only.

Wait coming Aug I will full driving highway to work only. Without any jam. Possible 2 to 3 traffic light stop only. I believe my preve turbo can achieve below 8/100km.

Petronas 10w-30. It is thinner vicosity, hence suitable for short distance/city driving

damn sure... this guy Azril from GTradial comfirm it...

- No need to install voltage stabilizer. The car works fine out of the box
- Audio quality acceptable
- Colour is preference. Any colour is OK as long as you like it.
- If you drive the car as stock, you can be quite certain it is reliable. You can drive it at max 5500 RPM without overheating

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.

Just curious, how many of new Preve follows the instruction - after starting the engine, wait for the operating temp to reach mid way before driving it away (see page 92 for more infor)? Wonder how long will it take to reach the required temp. Seconds or minutes?

Or is this more applicable to the cold countries in Europe?

Thanks.

But I was not referring to idling. What I was wondering was whether drivers wait for the operating temp to reach the mid level before moving the car. And whether that was for starting the cars in cold countries.

Cheerio.

Thanks for all the infor!

I have started to switch off the engine while waiting in the car some months ago. I can still get 9.7 km per litre even with my 13 yrs old Wira.

Myth Buster on telly showed the study on fuel saving - with ac and with windows winded down for cooling. Proved that even with the additional wind drag due to the opened windows, it is more fuel economic with the windows opened and ac off! Ha. But there will be some asking, then what is the point of having the ac? Ha.

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.

Been reading this thread for some time..
I Gotto say really useful information provided! Thumbs up!   

Getting my car tmr.
Despite all the negative thing i heard from friends on Preve, it still attract me the most comparing to others. (+ - 10k)
I guess its the stylish head! 

Been worried bout the FC, but driving a big solid car, this is the cost you need to pay right?   
My question -

I realize the DRL in Suprima S is brighter than Preve?
Anyone know where to tune it brighter? How much it cost?
Actually is tuning or changing?

My SA told me i can add on the bodykit from R3 for 3k full set.
Is this the normal rate?

Thank in advance!

where u did bro? im sure alot of preve owners here wana do too...include me

how much did u pay for the reverse camera ? install new HU will void warranty ?

After reading the car manual, like to share and learn from others on the following points. For those who have not read the manual, don't use your Preve this weekend until you have digested the manual! Ha.

AA
page 48 - "Immediately after the airbag deploys, the air bag and several of its component parts will be very hot. If you touch them, you could be burnt."
==> If this is true, then be prepared for some burn injury to the face and chest as these will be in contact with the airbag! I know the airbag is inflated by a chemical explosion but hot airbag with burn injury to the face and chest? Think they should either review the above sentence or redesign the airbag.

Thanks.

Found this ...

Temporary use or space saver spare wheels are a common feature of many newer cars and even some 4WDs. They can take a number of forms, ranging from the skinny, brightly coloured space saver wheel to more conventionally sized temporary use steel or alloy wheels that differ in size and appearance to the wheels normally fitted to the vehicle.

Space saver wheels first appeared in Australia in a handful of European cars in the mid 1980s. Since then they have become a common feature of newer cars and some 4WDs.

The idea behind them is that being smaller; they are lighter and take up less space in the vehicle than a full sized spare wheel. This allows the vehicle manufacturer to reduce weight and in some cases to reduce the size of the spare wheel well.

However it’s likely that at least some vehicle manufacturers find them attractive because they can be considerably cheaper than a full sized spare wheel, particularly if the vehicle is fitted with expensive high performance wheels and tyres.

I was worried on car stability with a smaller wheel. Reminded me of my trip to another town here many years ago where my spare tyre pressure was at about 2/3 of the required pressure. I drove at 30-40 kph for about an hr to reach a petrol station!

Learning new things about car, things which I have taken for granted (the wheel, air bags, etc).

Cheerio.

Where to buy and how much ya?

Got my Car yesterday!



Helicopter sound as usual.. 

****
But i need to clarify one thing,

Im facing reverse difficulties as in when i try to reverse, it seems like you really have to press down the paddle quite a lot before the car start reversing. I must say its actually not steep at all! 

Is this normal or i should bring this up to SC?
***
Im in D mode, going down the hill, my RPM went up and dragg my car.
I have to brake the car halfway and all the way down the hill??

I dont think putting N mode downhill is a good idea. @.@"

Thanks Sifus in advance! 

hmm.. when u want fold down, u must press the button on rear seat.. if locked properly, the button should be feel hard press.. if not locked properly, button is easily to press only.. when u want fold back, u just push back the seat with a bit power.. make sure the button is become steady/hard when try to press.. u can buy any black tape to tape on the steel over there if u still found got some sound.
if u compare with sylphy, focus,camry  (only sit old sylphy and new camry), ya they really quieter than preve.. at least for my experience, i do drive honda civic, sit as passenger in new vios and city.. compare these quite famous car in malaysia, from standstill and half press the oil pedal for accelerate, i would say all these cars more or less same with preve only.. ya preve is not quiet.. but same as others.. probably soundproof materials.. hmm but probably definition of loudness of each other is different.. cant comment much.. hahaha..

but so far, i think rreally entitled to quiet, new camry, prius C (which i really experienced before).

While doing my study on which car to buy, I thought Premium is more powerful than the manual.

Looked up the brochure I got,

....................... max power  ........ max torque

manual  .......... 80 ...................... 150
premium ......... 103 .....................205

Minta maaf if I have interpreted the above wrongly. 

Cheerio.
