Good post. There is no doubt that the car can breach 200km/h, but it should not really be driven up to those speeds. The most I would go on the Preve Turbo is 130-140km/h. Even at these speeds, the drive is not comfortable anymore as the engine is stressed when cruising at these speeds on the highway. Comfortable speed 110-120km/h.

Similarly tested Almera before choosing the Preve Turbo. One step on the accelerator the ALmera doesn't seem like it was moving in front. To me it is underpowered. Tested the Preve Turbo and committed on the spot. Didn't test-drive Vios or Civic as these cars do not appeal to me.

eh bro. seriously ka 130 the engine is stressed?

stressed as in? the loud sound from engine?

if that's the case, it's almost same as my ex car a manual saga blm.

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. biggrin.gif But i dont like the interior. Looks like Japanese car.

I wrote 2 LOOONG email to customer care Proton ask them to speed up the delivery of my car to the showroom, and they (the kilang) send the car to my s.a outlet in just 2 days. apparently i "skip" my waiting q because i made complaint/request to the customer care. LOL

u guys should do the same if you're having same situation like me.

I am car-less for over one month i really desperately need the car.

ps: Previously the stock for Black colour quite hard to get

Hi guys, is it normal that s.a asked to send letter that stated the s,a will not responsible if got into accident/any bad things on the way to deliver the car to me?

If i send that letter, if anything happen, i just simply dont receive the car la right.

But what if the damage cannot be seen?

received my Exec CVT.

seriously the most worrying things before idecided to buy this car is the when i heard compalinst about slow acceleration and noisy CVT

i tested the car before receive

not that slow as i expected before. it's quite smooth and cvt noise are minimal.

isit because i too used to myvi and saga blm?

except the reverse sensor beep sound is too low? hmm.gif

I didnt hear any rattling noises etc when i received my car until today.

But i feel like the sound sytem is not well balanced. Although i have set the centre to 0.

Also the reverse sensor beep sound is too low.

I havent read the manual yet but if someone knows how to turn the volume higher please let me know. Thanks

hi all, my sa said june promo same with may, no hari raya promo. he offer me preve cvt exec rm61k + 4.5k rebate, no other free gift. i need the car b4 raya, should i proceed? thx
*
mine offered 5k with no free gift.

before raya if you apply loan now should be okay, that's almost 2 month for them to get the stock. Depends on your loan approval.

a lil advise, some s.a will promise you get the car in weeks, do not entirely trust them.

And i suggest do not ask s.a to deliver your car to your preffered place as they don not responsible if anything bad happen.

Dude. Impossible rm53k for cfe even for a 2014 rm8k discount unit

71k -8k -1k ncd -1k further discount = 61k

Better call and ask.

That pprice is probably for Exec solid colour, manual transmission after max discount and minus NCD
