Alhamdulillah, I have driven my Soft Lilac Turbo for a week now. (But have to trade in my Fordie since my wife not confident drive manual turbo).
After read some owners problem and solution, I already act on it. now I have reach the 1,000 km mark.
Issue 1: No SD Card for GPS maps in the HU. I told my SA that the SD Card is not the normal SD Card as it is encrypted. He order it and need to wait 2 weeks.
Issue 2: Braking with noise and vibration. I will make claim during my 1,000 km service this Friday. Hopefully part is available.
The handling is superb I must say. And powerful too. Not experiencing lag like some owner complaints.

QUOTE(plumberly @ Dec 31 2014, 11:43 AM) Mine is 2012 version, I think. To upgrade will cost me a few hundreds $. Lucky you! Enjoy the power, stability and pride driving a Preve! Is 2012 really that different for main road? I believe not so different. I wanna use the GPS inside car for long journey only. |

QUOTE(ncnair316 @ Jan 6 2015, 05:00 PM) About time to wash my baby. But holding it off till the weekend as my car is gonna be riding on a lorry for a 12 hour journey this Thursday. Was just browsing through local supermarket here and a few things caught my attention. Wondering if you guys have any experience on it. 1. Rain X. Its selling here for about Rm 18. A quick google on the product popped up one major worry. It seems it can cause the wiper to judder. Someone on lowyat forum was even asking how to remove it. Is wiper judder common due to rain x use and is it really that bad? Any better alternatives? I dunno about Rain X, but I use Maxco Rain Repellent. So far so good. Can see clearly when heavy rain. I used it on my mom Saga Magma car, my Fordie and now my Preve Turbo. About the wiper, once the wiper not good anymore. Change to silicone wiper, it is more durable and can sweep rain thoroughly. |

QUOTE(thericebug @ Jan 7 2015, 01:45 PM) I was excited about the 8k rebate. Faster paid booking fees for 2014 year end model then after waiting for 1 month, suddenly the SA called to tell me they were out of stock all over the places. I had no choice but to bump up my payment and made the order for the 2015 model silver colour. I'm still very excited about the car and happy to own a Preve, but the SA's repeated empty promises are disappointing me.  When I bought the Year End Sale, I am not pay any booking fee. Just submit my documents. After 2 week received my Preve Turbo. Bought at Klang. I even trade in my Fordie. This post has been edited by smaelz83: Jan 7 2015, 03:08 PM |

QUOTE(27needles @ Jan 8 2015, 10:09 PM) For the PREMIUM variant owners.. Is it worth upgrading from my Preve Exec's very plain 'non touch screen' radio player, to the Preve Premium's original 'touch screen' player? .. I just like the looks of a touch screen player interface . The good dvd players out there cost almost 1k and more, and I don't want to go for the cheap china brand DVD players. So i thought, maybe the Premium's original player would be good enough? Are the functions even usable? I heard the original GPS is not good? If you just wanna upgrade the HU, better buy aftermarket touchscreen unit. Much bigger display with more updated GPS map (free map). Premium HU GPS map, you need to buy to get updated map, RM300. |

QUOTE(Alique @ Jan 16 2015, 11:01 AM) Guys  , I just received CFE week ago and wanna ask about the brake issue. I notice when driving above 60km/h, I can feel the vibrate/little shaking on the brake pedal & steering wheel everytime I start brake. I didnt have a time to go SC yet & I plan ask/check during my 1st 1000km service. I wanna ask if someone experience/facing this problem before and what is the problem. Thanks. I also experienced the brake vibrate and sound once I received my car. When I do the 1,000 km service the SC check the brake and found that rust cause the problem. When I said that I wanna claim, SC said if claim through them it will take time. And furthermore, Proton will ask SC to do skimming first. So, SC told me it's not appropriate that they skim new car disc brake. They suggest I use the car more since the rust will gone eventually. Now, after reaching 1,500 km.. the vibrate is less and sound also less, unless I brake during high speed. I guess the rust will gone eventually with more friction. |

QUOTE(heart strings @ Jan 21 2015, 04:00 PM) yeah, but the deal is not attractive compared to last month. My friend manage to get RM10k discount + 3 years FOC service even when he booked on 24th Dec. Got his car on the following week. Only thing that turn-off is the color. Soft lilac  Soft lilac is good actually, at night it become silver like color.  |

Already got the SD Card with map. I check the map version, it stated 2013.
Setia Alam, new area has full road map BUT my house area which is more older that Setia Alam NOT on the map. Damn.
but thanks to the guide on putting own POI, now it is more convenience to navigate using the GPS

QUOTE(foxpro @ Mar 10 2015, 10:24 PM) Preve model 2014 the HU unit SD card not working since day 1, when insert sd card always prompt card not detect already change 3 card get from salesmen . Please advise how to solve this problem Try make complain through We Care, by email and phone. That is the most effective way to solve it. Since 3 cards can't detect, I suspect the HU SD Card reader is faulty. Make sure you insert the SD Card correct way. |

QUOTE(plumberly @ Mar 17 2015, 06:58 PM) Like to know who has filled more than 50 litres in our Preve tank. My highest volume is 48 litres. Why am I asking this? Want to know if 50 litres is really the absolute maximum or is there some more room there. Thanks. When I get the car for first time, the fuel indicator is blinking and show I only have 30km or so for travel distance. I fill up full tank and reach 51.xxx liter.
