hye..want to ask.. i already have my own reg. number before booking this car... the question is should i give my reg no. to SA first or wait until i sign the agreement after check my car...

i dont think you can see the car without having it registered under your name. Give the reg number to your SA, then they will do the registration (your name on the grant and stuff), then u can check the car..

what if i found faulty part at that car? can i reject that car and demand other car?

nope.. they will refer you to SC and that part will be changed for you..

may be try another SC?

Right cool tinted? is it good? never heard of this brand..haha

for fastest way , give the no to Sa first. there's only ONE week time to raya , you have no time to wait till car arrived , inspect and register

you r right bro. same with me after 3 years and 60K km, the sound from gearbox getting louder compare to initially. I have my confidence in preve will last long but due to abnormal increasing sound from cvt, im getting nervous on how long it can last since warranty already void after 3 years.

preve is a good car, but the cvt is just.....

Yes, the sound from the CVT is getting louder by the months, even if you drive it slow and gently. Not too sure if driving patterns will contribute to this anomaly as I usually do hard acceleration with the car everyday. I am not sure if those who drive their cars gently without doing any hard acceleration will experience the same phenomenon with the louder CVT. So far few owners reported zero problems with their Preve Turbo.

Having said that, I have occasionally done some quick darts with my previous car of 5 years, the Nissan Sylphy (acceleration in sports mode with RPMs climbing high) and the transmission of the Sylphy also a CVT performs flawlessly and stays quiet throughout the ownership period. Somehow the CVT of the Preve Turbo is lower quality than that of the Nissan in showing signs of reduced robustness and reliability with the erratic/abnormal loud sound.

Apart from the louder sound of the CVT (during normal drive), the acceleration is also not as smooth and slightly jerky in heavy traffic.

As for the warranty period, I was informed that the warranty is 5 years instead of 3 years the last time i inquired earlier this year. I was surprised as Proton might have changed the regulations. When I bought my car I was told that the warranty is 3 years. Only lately they advised that the warranty is 5 years.

' the sound from gearbox getting louder by the days '

Proton continue to sells defective parts in cars deny the cars is poor quality claimming the the drivers are incompetant and lacks driving skill

when i test drive 3 years ago, i already noticed the humming sound from cvt. i thought it will remains like that, but who knows the sound is getting louder.

now i feels like i want to 'sumbat' my telinga with ear plug as its getting really annoying.



i hope that the gearbox wouldn't break down as i still have many years to settle the loan.

Shouldn't you have warranty?

Perhaps on newer batch, the insulation is better. There are no audible CVT whine unless manual mode is used to downshift, or if full throttle in D mode. I still don't hear any whine or noise from daily drive, although it has been quite tortured with Racechip and full throttles.

Check with SC bro. Proton claims their CVT tech is from belgium ( same cvt provider to land rover, volvo, volkswagen ect) not from proton itself. Ask sc to check your engine. Otherwise, go to the respective car wash and clean your engine.. I did once and the problem solved.

i have this prob as well. Mine is creaking sound i suspect coming from the radio parts.

anyone else exp this, can share how to solve here? thks

today i slammed hard the brake at 100kmph coz some cars in front of me emergency braking

glad that the ABS works well, (i never owned a car equipped with ABS, brake assist, TC etc before this Preve)

Worked really well. But i heard some screeching sound, i didnt "feel" it was coming from my tyres, maybe from another vehicles. (both car in front and at the back is city) Hope it's not from mine.

thanks bro. how does cleaning the engine bay helps to reduce cvt sound?

Donno..just try and error..kind of miracle actualy if can reduce cvt sound..hahaha..

hye..i wanna know if we still can get YES4G for new car..mine will get tomorrow..forgot to ask SA..

No. It has been stopped since 2014 if not mistaken. Mine was 2015 model. My SA gave me umbrella, R3 bodykit, reverse cam, smart tag etc.
