from my experience,
not that bad, it just noisy,
i tried to go 120-200/210Km/h sometime, it sound really noisy...
but i like it..
-Preve Turbo-

Okay now I'm not so tied up with work so have some time to explain. It all depends on expectations and also benchmark in the cars that are used for comparison. Saga BLM if I"m not mistaken is 1.3-litre and Preve Turbo is 1.6-litre turbocharged. Both are Campro engines which are known to be not very quiet.

In comparison to the Nissan Sylphy 2.0 that I have owned(currently Ford Focus 2.0) , at higher speeds say 130km/h and above, the noise from the engine of the Preve Turbo is significantly higher than both Nissan and Ford, in an unpleasant way. The Nissan and Ford come in higher-capacity engines, hence the engines may not need to work so hard at higher cruising speeds and as such, noise levels are comparatively low. Cruising at 130-140km/h with both Nissan and Ford is still comfortable due to the lower noise levels. You don't feel that the engine is stressed in any way.

Even up to a cruising speed of 160km/h, the engines in the Nissan and Ford are still not too noisy, whereas the Preve Turbo's engine will get real loud at this point. Occupants in the car wont' feel comfortable due to the noise from the engine.

Other than sound levels in the cabin, the difference between the Nissan Sylphy and the Ford Focus when cruising at higher speeds is the Nissan Sylphy wobbles and shows instability whereas the Ford Focus is rock steady. The Preve Turbo's stability at higher cruising speed is better than the Nissan Sylphy due to the stiffer suspension but still cannot match that of the Ford Focus.

Thanks for the explanation.

ya i didn't expect me driving at 130kmph at all time even on highway. Me as a light footed driver mostly drive at 120kmph the fastest

i guess for a 60k car, we cant complain much on  the engine noise level. that's call unrealistic expectation.

hey u comforted me when u said preve stability at higher cruising speed is better than sylphy.

well i have driven a 2.0 accord the fastest 160kmph. yes engine still quiet but damn the car was shaky and wobly. i guess same as Sylphy.

Ford Focus is my dream car.

Well if i can afford, i hope that is my next car.

Apologies if I have offended you but I do admit that I may be critical when it comes to assessing things and usually don't hide the flaws or weaknesses. I am quite analytical in person. That goes the same with my other car that I own, the Ford Focus.

The term "pussy" has different meanings. One being a weakling and the other being vulgar word for the female genital. I hope you are not referring to the latter when you called me a pussy. If it's a weakling, the application of this word is not appropriate either. If you call me critical or fussy, then I can agree.

Issues such as CVT whine and the sound from the engine, these are inherent characteristics of the Preve Turbo. It is not so much related to whether one is driving the car properly. I have driven enough cars for the past 25+ years to know how to judge the characteristics or performance of these cars. Hence, I don't need to know about the details in how to drive the car properly, especially since you have suggested I do not know how to drive the Preve Turbo properly. The knocking sound from the engine is something that i experience in my car. Others who don't experience this knocking does not suggest that the knocking sound had come up because I don't know how to drive the car. I am baffled by your remark.

As for driving the car up Cameron or Genting, I have mentioned I have not driven the car up Genting (though I have driven the Ford Focus up Genting on 3 occasions up to date). The Preve Turbo is more like a care-free car which I often alternate with the Ford Focus. I drive the Ford Focus more these days as I derive more enjoyment from it compared to the Preve Turbo.

I am not suggesting that the S mode in the car is problematic. Rather I am suggesting the S mode is not suitable to be driven at higher speed or higher RPMs. You don't know how I drive my car. I am not particularly gentle with my footwork. I often floor the pedal as in doing hard acceleration with my cars, especially with the Ford Focus. I do drive the Preve Turbo hard at times too, however, I refrain from doing that too often due to the "issues" that had been repeated many times on this thread now. The sound from the engine of the Preve Turbo during hard acceleration is unpleasant. The sound may be acceptably fine to your ears, but it sounded bad to mine.

Please bear in mind I am not exactly bashing the Preve Turbo but am relating my thoughts or opinions on the car. Whether you agree or disagree is fine with me. I have said many times. Despite some shortcomings of the Preve Turbo, it is a good car and value for money compared to overpriced Vios and City.

Hi guys , ive had a new preve cfe for more than a couple of weeks now and I have reached 1010 km on the odo due to the fact that I had to go out of town for an emergency .

The question is , is there a leeway when it comes to the first service that will not affect my 5 year maintenance ? For instance plus 50km or minus 50km ? I did not affect my maintenance yet have i ?

Im really a newbie so memang taktau

Hi All,
Need advice or feedback. My father has bad experience today using proton preve cvt iafm today. It happened when he was going out of parking area going upward ramp, the car suddenly stop. He shocked for a while and decided to change the gear to S.

But, it only move slowly upward despite he fully pressed the throttle.

Any idea what went wrong and any advice?

Prior to this, there were a few occasions, where the car jerks after moving from stop i.e.: at roundabout or traffic light. Not sure whether this is related issue or not.

Thank you guys in advance.

All I can say to you kind sir, is use your "S" more often, and stop whining about your Preve.   And watch as all your petty problems "engine noisy, no power after 120kmh" pffffffft..., "engine knocking during uphill climb" , engine this engine that, all magically disappear..

And really, people here are getting tired of hearing about your Ford Focus. That car is in a different standard, and totally different price. It's getting to be quite a drag hearing you keep going on and on about your Sylphy and Focus in our Preve forum.

its ok to over some mileage.. just go to service whenever u back to your hometown.. i do my 1st service at mileage clock around 1250km

I send my preve for first service after clock 1160km on the odometer.

Im getting my car next week. After of weeks of waiting.

The exec cvt do t come with tint and i dont want spend so much on tint

What is tbe prive range for fulll car UV tint? Im think of getting Raytech

And what else should i do or buy? My car is black. should i polish/wax a new car?

is strongly NOT recommended  you service more then 1000 km ,  try to go to any authorized proton service centre to do a first service ASAP . Proton always have rights to void your warranty even you has just exceed a little bit on mileage
