Whenever going uphill or down hill, I use D mode initially. If I find it is not adequate, I'd switch to S.
Going up Genting, if you are following other traffic in the left lane, D is enough. But if you want to go faster, you'd find that in D the engine would rev higher and then drop to low rev when you release the throttle. So the RPM goes up-down-up-down. That can be very annoying. In such situations use S mode.
In S mode you can drive up Genting at 60 km/h but the RPM stays within 3000 - 4500 RPM.
This is for CFE version.

I agree with @SportyHandling. There are reasons why cars such as the Focus cost more than the Preve. Mostly it is the "refinement" in both fit & finish, and the NVH.
Compared to more expensive cars, the Preve is "rougher". Preve does the job very well, but lacks refinement. If that is what you are looking for the Preve might no be for you.
The same when you compare a Toyota Camry vs a MB E-Class. The refinement is where the price difference is. You might not see it in a glance, but those who are used to such refinement might not be willing to settle for lesser thus they'd still buy another E-Class.
Horses for courses. Different people different taste.
Guys, do have some questions to ask here about tyre..
We are using 205/55/R16 in our preve stock rim.
I want to know any brand do offer this size of tyres? Im looking for quiet and comfort tyres.. no speeding needed.. I survey and found Michelin P3ST is the option.. Can anybody give some of the reviews and options to me.. May compare with our stock GT Radial Champiro tyres as well..
It isnt so much improvement between P3ST and Champiro?
That's my car doing 110 km/h on LPT2. I'm using Pilot Sport 3 on all 4 corners. You can barely hear the tyre noise. The only sound you hear are the CVT drone and the aircond. And you know what? 3ST is supposed to be quieter than the PS3 I'm using. Needless to say I'm happy with the PS3. Would I choose 3ST? No, because PS3 has better performance especially in the wet, yet it is very comfortable and not noisy at all.
Actually, the output from the stock BLAUPUNKT HU is okay at 50W x 4. Just need to change to a pair of good speakers will do. PROTON should have installed better speakers albeit at a slightly higher cost. I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for better speakers since the BLAUPUNKT HU has the power to run much better speakers, thus adding to the betterment of the overall sound system.
LOL, now I have a 1-month old BLAUPUNKT HU sitting in my store. My 2 reasons for the BLAUPUNKT HU replacement are because I don't know why it can't read all the "mp3" files (over 3,000) in my MicroSD card and also there is no socket available in the market at the moment to connect the reverse camera.
So, I've added reverse and front cameras, changed to the SANSUI HU, reused my old active sub-woofer, changed to PIONEER rear speakers with 2 front tweeters and added a TEAC DVR, which is not working properly now and will need to go and change again. Total damage is RM2,950.
I think the shop you went to simply want to sell you a new head unit. The Blaupunkt in Preve 2015 is Blaupunkt New York 800, which is what, 5 years old already? It is not a new model.
There are only 100 official Preve LE. Sold out long ago.
Once can still manually build his LE if he has the cash to splurge. Get 2014 and newer Preve CFE for the 6 airbags, electronic assistant brake vacuum and VT3+ transmission. Then change the rims, add the original R3 bodykit made of ABS material, and finally change the interior trims to leather. The leather trims are most costly in this conversion, and hence why little to none tried to make their Preve an LE specs.
And that with bodykits you'd be extremely worried about scraping it when going to shopping mall car parks
