Hi guys, wanna ask some question, is proton preve exec auto worth to buy? Currently in my area there is no car for test driving , so wondering how is the performance of the car ? and what is the fuel cost every KM? I'm only for normal use and run sales. Unfortunately premium is out of my budget...only considering persona or preve exec...please give me some advice , thanks
*
which area u are staying? maybe can join and look for some owners and have a ride.. FC if u are run highway a lot 80% then might be 8l/100km (im mostly around this range.. if you are travel in city which stop and go, (10~12l/100km)

but as long as if u run sales and able to claim mileage, then i guess u no need worry about FC.. unless u going to pay your petrol by your own, i will suggest u have to plan the budget by your own, how many KM per month.. let say 3000km per month.. every month i guess u need to fork out RM600 for petrol..

Thanks! I was quoted 79k for LE version from an SA in Sri Petaling, was wondering if this is a legit LE or just an overpriced Premium variant with added R3 OEM kit. How to confirm its genuine LE model since only 100 units were made?  hmm.gif
*
i thought LE was sold out ady.. if Preve LE, should come with bodykit, rim, leather seat.. leather in door trim, console lid, and the car body is only white..

or maybe your SA want use LE pricing to help you borrow loan it isnt??

Dear All,

Officially became the proud owner of prev exec solid white.So far so good.The only issue a bit sluggish at first but it get better once it gain momentum.

I would like to ask if exec version has the feature to check balance fuel..as in how many km i can go?if yes, how do i set it ?

Thank you.

once you used to the acceleration of the car then would be ok.. press pedal gently will feel better.. even u full press, your car also wont move fast suddenly from stop.. im ok with CVT, used to it.. some people said slow, but if really compare side by side, CVT is really smooth in accelerate, wont have the shift gear delay..

Owh mine is exec. Any changes for exec?

BTW is it normal for them to give stocks that exposed to the rain and hot sun?

Coz i noticed the ready stock dirty and the rear rim got rust as well as the disc brake.

they said the rim rusty is normal and the disc brake rust will be gone after some time u drive the car.

I notice got big scratches on the gear knob and also the door (interior)

they said the can change the gear knob and that plastic on the door before i receive the car

should i take this car guys?

or should i request for newer one

coz i think this is March 2015 stock. donno how long they put on open space

icon_question.gif
*
all cars will put in open space before sold.. to check car whether 2015 or 2014.. easy way is car roadtax, insurance.. there will show your car manufactured year..

rim rusty is first time i heard.. disc brake rust is natural.. will gone after u drive for 1 day..

after i changed my engine mounting, day and night different when i start the car.. omg so different, there is no vibration at all when the car is idle.. feel like the car wanna stall. i had been driving it with so much vibration since day 1. now even high speed cruising or when u step on pedal, the car doesnt vibrate much like before.. the engine is much quieter at cruising at 100km/h that u start to hear more wind noise and road noise lol..
*
no idea on vibration in car previously.. probably my unit is new one.. im 2014 july owner.. so probably problem solved in new batch.. but i always heard people mentioned about vibration and change enigne mounting.. but good to hear that your problem is solved..

my gearbox is VT3+ after some guidance from other to check.. VT3+ is blue colour.. no whining sound below 100km/h.. very quiet.. only do have tyre noise

Guys........ask ur driving opinion.....will going to genting next week. Previously my vios I can maintain on d and 2/3.... My Wife preve Is EXec model.i think the Car Is heavier and i nightly need power. If i maintain it at low gear will it hurt the engine?
*
I just went to genting and bukit tinggi on past few days.. but im premium model, so no problem to go up in D mode.. S mode is better.. wont hurt engine la by that certain distance.. just use your S mode and go up all the time.. when down, just put D mode, and engine will auto braking for you..

agreed with sanadi.. when go up, if use D mode, left lane is ok.. but some cars in left lane are too slow.. 30km/h?! S mode mostly RPM will around 3000 or above.. much more constant power for us to climb up faster.. when downhill, D mode is sufficient.

Just realised this morning that I am over paying for my Preve Turbo. Why? I hardly ever use functions like auto cruise, swift(?) paddle, etc and worst of all, my ESC is faulty which the SC still has not fixed it!

Paying extra for a turbo and not using the extra features. Dumb buyer! Ha.

My town is so small that auto cruise etc tak dapat pakai.

Cheerio.
*
haha.. paddle shift seldom use as well.. just some time over take, in D mode, down shift gear and push higher rpm and up shift again.. auto cruise is very good tool whenever you go to long distance.. set 110km/h easier..

QUOTE(:3mushy:3 @ May 7 2015, 08:04 AM)
I enjoy using the autocruise, especially along the spots prone to high speed cam.

really nice.. relax our leg and just focus on steering and road..

Man you really sound like a nice guy, but you're being such a pussy when it comes to your relation with your car. Complain about this, complain about that. But when I read about how you actually drive your car, the answer is obvious why you are having those 'pussy problems' with your car which could have been rectified if you actually know how to use your car's potential. All your issues with engine knocking , CVT whine loud , engine rev unpleasant, bla bla bla. You don't even know how to drive your car properly ! I won't even go into details how or why, as it'll take too much of my time.

Anyway, I have driven up Cameron and Genting in S mode all the way, and there was no problem whatsoever till now. Just be smart. Don't pussy-fy your Preve. Although it was made to feel more like a family car, it was never made to be a pussy.
*
cameron highland i think D mode is sufficient ady.. the slope not that steep.. but genting S mode is much suitable..

LOL.. every driver do have different expectation.. so sure got different opinion lo.. for me, preve are good, not that bad as people said.. no major issue, whining noise is reduce from 0-100km/h.. noticeable at 110km/h & above.. engine knocking i dont know about that ady.. i just feel my preve is ok to drive..

I drive my wife's Preve every 2-3 weeks n had driven it even up to Kota Baru about 700+km away
Unlike several users who complain about the car I don't find any serious issues. Car is CFE model n 2+ years old with mileage 17+k km. Only issue was slight noise at back seat in initial days n was rectified within an hour at service center
We don't push our cars hard n on highgway at 100-110 usually n rare ocassions car will auto speed up to 120-130 n we immediately slowed it down.
We don't face at all those funny sounds reported especially onnheavy braking, dashboard creaking, windows panel loosen etc etc
This car I view is a family car N wrong to use as racing car ...shocked some of you guys pushing it to 160-180 km/hour . Such drivers should purchase those sports saloon instead .
Overall we r happy w the car n at its price rm69k nothing much to complain about. My other more expensive saloons seriously had more problems than it
We tested Almera, Vios n Civic before deciding on this reasonable price car n we had no regrets.
*
haha me too.. 69k after discount of 4k.. really nothing to complaint. im use it for my daily driving in Penang. 90km/h mostly.. with this price tag, we get auto cruise, turbo engine, big cabin.. just only 1 people always complaint is about sc.. but due to sc have to handle so many car per day, so it's really tough to them.. do have some tolerance and solve the problem will do.. me also dont have the sounds yet *touchwood*


QUOTE(SportyHandling @ May 7 2015, 06:04 PM)
My memory is getting rusty. I just recalled having drove the Preve Turbo up to Genting once, though it was entirely on D and not S.
*
D mode i was feel not sufficient on going up the hill.. so i just put S.. because there are 4 adults and 1 kid in car with full luggage.. with S mode, i always drive in center or right lane.. and the temple when going down, i able to go up without any issue as 1 user complaint preve cant go up before..

Bro, did you use S mode to go downhill to?

when downhill, i just put D mode.. it will do engine braking itself.. press some pedal when feel too much engine braking..

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
*
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

dear all preve owner,
I have 2 inquiries that required sifu's guide, sorry if i make stupid question here. thx in advance.

1. where can i find step by step open the passenger side door compartment since I hate with the crack crack sound when the window glass closing and opening. it happen on and off previously but become serious recently. i have difficulty to visit SC for long queuing by certifying this issue so was thinking to have luck if i can fix/ find something wrong when compartment are open up by my own. thx.

2. Is that true/must we have to pull hand brake before putting the gear nod to "P" else it gonna hurt the gear box. i didn’t practices this since day one but keep seeing ppl sharing article to advise ppl do so. thx again
*
1. try to use some power window lubricant by your own.. 1 bottle costs few ringgit only.. i bought around rm7.. i do have the sound on my driver side previously at some time.. so i go service centre and ask them put some lubricant, but they said finished.. LMAO.. so i decided to do it myself.. PROBLEM SOLVED.. no more the sound when open and closing the power window..

2. no need.. no such things la.. just in slope area, pressing brake pedal, put P, engage handbrake, then only release foot brake..

allright, thx bro. but why ppl still spead wrong info since this is something firmed..   rclxub.gif

i never saw my dad and my relative gearbox die up or worn out after the pattern of stopping the car and put P first only engage handbrake..

i knew that article, it's chinese article.. there stated must handbrake first, switch off engine then only put P at last..

in most vehicle right now, must put P first only switch off engine one.. just do our practice, foot brake>P gear>handbrake up>release foot brake>switch off engine.. that's all..

Buy something like this power window lubricant can solve your window sound. Attached Image

Thanks. Will look for this.

I thought one has to remove the door cover and grease the mechanical parts inside.

Easy then with the lub.

no need.. actually SC they lazy to do it, just a little effort to fix only.. haiz.. nvm.. DIY.. hahha.. i may share, i bought this around rm7.50.. but you guys may look around at Mr. DIY for waxco brand, around rm6.90.. then just apply it with the instruction on the bottle.. just apply the lubricant on window rubber lining there only.. then exercise the power window up & down few times.. magicccc~ no more glass cracking sound.. at least 2 months ago i applied till now, no more sound appear..

Guys,
Did anyone know is there any service charge or GST apply during certifying problematic power window at SC? If not mistaken power window come with 10yrs warranty right.

Hi Chuan Hong,
The window lubricant seem doesn't help on my problematic power Window. No luck, anyway thx for your kind suggestion.
*
hi.. can u describe more on your issue?

my window issue is when i wind down the window until half, it will got "kheak" glass crack sound, when window up until full, got the sound again.. my problem like window stucked on rubber there.. if you put some lubricant at rubber lining ady still problem exist, then might need to refer to SC.. hopeflly your issue can solve asap
