harlo~~

wanna ask something childish
its there a way to make the push start/stop button keyless/passive
rather than insert the fob
if got, how much ehhh

Hardly heard of push start button issue.

My CFE doesn't need any repairing. It was a peaceful ownership for almost 2 years already.

I just confirmed back with the seller that I want to stick with my original choice which is CFE. was having doubts today after reading reviews from the Internet. after thinking for hours I decided to choose CFE because of all the safety features.
anyway what about the fuel consumption of your preve? CFE right?

All depends on how you take care of the car. I too was surprised to read many bad user experiences here, but I've owned my car for two years and it is still a very good car to me without any deteriorating performance or safety issue, albeit the 'Proton-synonym' issue like rattling and noises.

hmm I just saw latest brochure of preve. looks like all the safety features are available in the non CFE as well. God damn. as such, there is no reason left for me to buy CFE. I don't need that turbo engine, I don't know how to use paddle shifters, push start button will only give inconvenience especially since it can become faulty, I can just turn on the headlamp manually, can use phone as GPS, can change air conditioner manually, can turn wiper manually, and can apply tinted windows at workshop. I don't think all that warrants the extra 10 K.

I myself am a very careful driver, no reckless driving (will definitely not reach >120 KMph, no potong memotong except if there are much slower car in front of me which is drived by uncle or aunty), and i will only use the car for city drive (95%).

my logic was: why pay more for things that I won't use regularly.
somemore, can save on maintenance cost as well since the parts for non CFE kind of cheaper. let's not forget that there are more electronic thingies in CFE that can become faulty.

please counter my arguments guys. thanks

My signature shows my fuel consumption for my Preve CFE. 8.5L/100KM average. The range can vary greatly depends on style of driving.

Yeah if you are very sure of what you need (and what you don't), then you are better of making your own choice.

Which parts are you referring to? The only major differences are only the gearbox and engine. These do not need regular maintenance and Proton is now offering 7 years across their whole range. Other parts are totally the same, CFE or non CFE.

The only thing to be sure is to test drive both cars many times

Right...my wife Preve CFE is 2 years old n had no serious issues as reported by users here : seats need changing, vibration on dashboard, engine mount issues, gearbox problem etc etc. Only issue was minor squeaky noise at back which was corrected in initial days at service center. Till now no more such noise
We are very glad with the car for its price. We don't push our cars hard n we drive it casually . Petrol consumption I deem satisfactory - in town around 600km n continuous outstation w half on highway about 800 km

There are slightly higher maintenance. Stock spark plug is iridium for CFE, normal copper for IAFM.

Although one can use Mach 5 mineral oil for CFE too, but to safeguard against turbo coking, full synthetics are recommended.

Yeah like I said they do not need regular maintenance (as in every time the car is sent for service). Other than these 'per 60k km things', there is no difference in the maintenance cost between CFE and non CFE.

Did any of the owner can feel the whining sound which is there all the time especially when going downhill without pressing throttle and brake?

Are they normal? Just to make sure the test unit i driven not faulty.

Engine braking, it is a feature.

Gonna visit proton showroom this weekend for preve 1.6 cvt .Kinda worry if i made big mistake as this is my first time buying car.. gulp

Not gonna lie to you, there are many minor problems, but none should be compromising safety.

Let say a Honda left the factory with 5 minor problems, this car would leave the factory with 15

Just came back after my 1st year service. Now switched from S 1000 to S 800.

The SC did not do the car body check. They don't know how to do that! Where do you send yours for the annual car body check? Hope that mine is not too late as it will void the car body warranty.

Thanks.

8 months owned preve. Mileage 22k


Still ok. Happy with it.

how much is the original brake pad? how much normally they charge to change brake pad a? is it any outside accessories shop will do? or have to go workshop? how about if give proton sc the brake pad i bought outside and ask them to install?

You can do outside but lose warranty for brakes.

ah dang... ori brake pad i heard rm350 for front set only.. shit

I paid 500 for the front set which i feel is not worth it..if i get to choose again i would do outside for less than 200..basically u lose warranty on the rotors only
