Generally speaking, if you don't have any need to upgrade or reason to increase your monthly commitment, better don't with current state of national economy.

But if you do, Suprima S is not a wrong choice among this price range

How much can you afford?
Wait 1 year after iriz comes out. Then tons of the HU in market

possible as its almost the same size.. just that u need to modify the fascia abit. but u wont get the benefit of front sensors, and the connection plug is alot different..
Iriz mia is 6.2 inch.. smaller.. how to fit...

Preve Premium vs Suprima S Premium

What Preve dont have.

Leather Seat.
Leather interior Trims.
!7" wheels
Android based, 7" touch-screen Head Unit and Navigation with free maps.(being an android, anything is possible *wink)
LED DRL
Leather Steering wheels.
Front Parking Sensor.
Reverse Camera
Hill Hold Assist
Auto Folding side mirror

i think thats about it..

ok.. european style rear headrest that seats flush in the seats when not in use.. lol..
and a six speaker audio system.

How much do u travel monthly?

Fuel, Maintenance need to be considered also...

highway run if u keep it at the national speed limit would give u around 500-600km per tank..
city run will give ~350-500 depending on ur type of traffic..

Why do you want an SS HU? its not exactly awesome.
I suppose you might get one for free or good deal, so if some pal of yours is upgrading his SS to something like an Pioneer Appradio HU, please please do share some story here.

u sure u travel 3500km per month on RM200 of petrol?
man thats like 35km/l
easily beats prius..

servicing twice per year indicates that u are doing around 20k-25k per year.. making about 2k km permonth. more or less like me if i dont go on road trips..

monthly fuel bill will double.. to around RM400-RM500 permonth..

i travel ~100km daily and a full tank can last me the whole 5days of work and abit left over for weekend fun... thats is if i behave myself on my to-fro work runs.. and about traffic condition.. i only face traffic jams about 10km daily on the way back.. others is just clear trunk roads..
The Proton CFE engine can be a 2-face monster sometime.. if u drive normally and dont trash it too much.. it will return good fuel economy..
but once u started to "feel the powah" a single bar of fuel can be gone in 30km... and thats about ~6l..

I thought it was the same size.
You can get about RM8-10k discount on a new SS if you know where to look.
Yes, considering it does not support front parking sensor. IINM, all us SS users still searching for a HU that can take advantage of all the sensors on the car.

I chose SS because of more features compared to Preve such as reverse cam, front parking sensors, leather seats, hill assist, more air bags previously, bigger HU, bigger rims, DRL and big discount.

Just to add a bit regarding FC. The first thousand kilometers is the heaviest for me and several other SS owner.

But after the first service (FOC, but I change the oil from the one Proton provide to semi-synthetic ~ +RM28), the FC changed tremendously better. Engine run a lot smoother as well, too!

Even two full size office chair isn't a problem

I would recommend you test drive it. A test drive is worth a million words.
Prior to my purchase of SS, I test drive Polo Sedan, the new Honda City and SS. My choice is SS. After few months driving it, I can conclude:-
Good points to note:
1.Superb handling - good suspension system - class leading.
2.Good pickup.
3. Segment C car - so it is significantly bigger in space compared to B segment cars.
4. Touch wood - engine no problem, smooth pickup till now.
5. Full specs - paddle shifter, forward sensor, 7" HU, reserve camera, auto cruise, 6 airbags, auto wiper, auto headlamp, full leather seats...the list goes on.
6. ANCAP and ASEAN CAP 5 stars rating - not many cars with such rating in Malaysia.
7. Smooth gear changes - CVT but you are still in control because of paddle shifter, for spirited drive.
8. 3 years free service, 5 years warranty - so this will take care of your worries.

Down points.
1. Engine sound slightly louder than competitor.
2. Petrol consumption - a bit higher - mine is at 12L/100km for urban driving.
(Driving at highway - very economical - can go down to 5 to 6 L/100km at around 90 to 110 km/h.)
3. Boot - cannot open by one press using remote control. I think this is a design problem - hard to fix.
(though you can open it via the driver door panel)

Tips to note:-
Shop around and wait for discount, you may get few thousands ringgit off the official selling price.
