Anybody here has RaceChip on their car? Thinking of getting one as they're having a RM400 rebate for raya. Read mixed reviews on prevec forum.

I did my wiring harness change and radiator fan there.. not much fuss eventhough i went with my HID still attached..
How did you do it? mind sharing?
CFE can go more than 220km/h..

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.

guys, need some advice...

is it advisable to install r3 bodykit with the standard 16" rims? almost going for r3 but last minute changed my mind after i whacked my standard bumper yesterday morning

The fabric seat on my Preve Turbo doesn't have the loose thread phenomenon yet, though I always had this squeaking sound from the seat, even though I have had the whole seat changed at the service centre once. The squeaking sound came back. I don't know if i can wait until my next 20,000km service to get this resolved as the sound from the seat is annoying. Every time you move your back against the seat, especially when going over road bumps, and your back rub against the seat, the sound will come up.

Just poor quality seats. Anybody had this similar problem? I wonder if my case is an isolated case, but after having the defective seat replaced to a brand new seat, the sound is still there. Just made me wonder if all the seats in the Preve are meant to emit some sound?

guys guys guys... want to ask here..any owner here with preve more then 2 years? after 2 years what the major problem you facing so far?

by the way,my wife getting her car today afternoon. feeling exciting now...

Well, I'm at PJ Sect 13 SC for my 1000km service. The Front Desk lady recommend me to topup extra to use Syn 800 instead of the Mineral Oil for RM56. Service so far so good.

Got an update from a staff here. Syn800 can be use till 10k km if you use the car for daily ride. If you have done a lot of Long Distance Driving, it's advisable to change at 5k km.

Thanks for the information. In my case it is intermittent. I do reverse many times. Just this morning when parking I did a reverse going up a slope and the engine didn't shut down. Say in 100 times doing reverse it will shut down once.

not really worth to upgrade.. even papago in smartphone also RM100 only.. promotion period rm50 like i bought before.. my preve GPS only useful to bring me home when i lost in unfamiliar city.. haha.. at least can bring me to highway then i know how to back.. others, if got specific well known location, i think it's ok.. want better map, get waze.. even penang bridge also updated ady..

Yes, the steering in the Preve is heavy. As a matter of fact it's the heaviest steering I have experienced for a car. Certainly need to get some use, as I understand you will find it a chore if you happen to be used to lighter steerings in most vehicle. It will be more difficult to manoeuvre the vehicle in tight spaces especially when parking the vehicle, doing reverse etc. when you are used to light steerings. I don't think there is much you can do about it as the design of the vehicle, the weight of the steering wheel by Proton is as such.

The weight of the steering is not related to the size of the car or the wheels. Larger vehicles will have light steerings too. All larger Segment D Japanese vehicles such as Honda Accord for example, have light steerings.

Music player in the Preve is not good with flat 2-dimensional sound and weak bass.

Yes, you are correct that most if not all Japanese cars are on EPS(Electronic Power Steering), and yes, the steering feel is indeed lacking in most of these cars, especially the Honda City that I have just driven not too long ago. The steering feel is indeed one of the worst I have driven(for a Japanese car). It is not about the lightness of the steering but the accuracy of it. It felt loose and feedback was poor. Somehow it didn't give me the control and confidence I wanted especially when around the bends. Perhaps I wasn't accustomed to the steering feel of the City, but still it was one of the worse driving experience I have encountered. The Nissan Sylphy's steering is better in this respect, more accurate than the City but still with poor feedback.

And yes, the Preve's heavy steering is more accurate and feels more real than most of these Japanese vehicles.

However, there is a car on EPS that to me, is more accurate than the Preve, the Ford Focus. As a matter of fact, the Focus is just a joy to drive not only for the light and responsive steering but the combination of that and the overall dynamics of the vehicle particularly the suspension. Although the steering of the Focus is light, the accuracy is higher than any cars that I have driven, Even the Preve's steering can sometimes feel "loose" but the Focus' steering is taut and tight ie. accurate in any driving conditions, even though it is light. It is not so much on the argument about FAKE vs REAL feel of the steering, but the accuracy and responsiveness of it, the driver having added confidence in taking a bend or corners at higher speeds with the accurate steering. The steering can be EPS and light but it can be responsive and accurate(the Focus). There are EPS steerings that are light but not as responsive and accurate(most Japanese vehicles Honda, Nissan, Toyota etc.).

Though a disclaimer. It is not all about the steering only when it comes to the joy of driving. It's usually a combination of the steering, chassis, suspension and power, around that order. The Preve Turbo at RM70k isn't too shabby as its handling and Turbo power beat most Japanese sedans(which are mainly designed primarily for comfort). But if you want more thrill and joy in the drive, there are some cars which offer higher levels of handling and driving dynamics, one being the Ford Focus, but at RM120k+/- the Preve Turbo can be regarded as having great value.

Had never even bother to try manual mode. Anyway i don't find the steering any heavy as reported. Even my missus feel is  light n better than her previous Cefiro ( first gen 6 cylinder model).
Tried those paddle shifters few times only n never bother with it thereafter. We are just simple casual drivers. My wife don't even know what it is for n she is main driver.
I can see many here are enthusiast drivers exploring it in details. For us is just a car n a mode of transport. It is decently reasonably good car. Too high expectation s from it you get dissapointed.

Such stuffs doesn't appeal to me... I am an old chap
