pardon, I have both preve and accord 2.0 9th gen and not sure why whenever I drive accord for few days I will miss the preve..feel solid compares to accord.. it doesn't mean that the accord is bad but something with preve rnh and chassis will make me feel more satisfy driving preve compares to accord.

hi bro, can you list down all the small stuff u replaced at SC?

just to give a recommendation here if some of you guys feeling lost with your preve problem especially after warranty period, please be brave and try other bengkel other than SC especially the famous proton specialist bengkel which might try to reduce your repair cost by repairing certain item rather than replacing the whole assembly.

i bought my preve from used car on 2016, my car was manufactured on end 2014 and otr early 2015. since I got it from the used car dealer at 22k km mileage I never ever once park my car at SC for service or repairing. this is bcos my previous car ownership experience owning a saga flx for 4 years i just sent my car to my favourite proton specialist instead of SC... every part replacement or repairing are cheaper than sc u can choose oem parts or ori parts depends on your budget..

they will have time to check on the issue instead of just trying to replace this first and then see how later..normal sc style..

mind you the cost of maintaining car at the SC is expensive and its not limited to proton only..toyota honda sc and perodua sc also after warranty period ends it became more costly to maintained your car especially those wear and tear items...

the reason i wrote this is just to give some of you guys my fella preve frens more choice instead of relying on SC.

here i list those "bawah pokok" bengkel which mostly is proton specialist that can work on your car:


1. Tunerz Revolutions (recommended for all minor and major parts replacement)
2. Zordaq Motorsports
3. Gearboss Performance
4. EA Autoworks ( this one more to upgrade lol)
5. G car care ( a bit expensive)

You can search those bengkel feedback and review on google and Facebook page also some Facebook Group like
CFE & CVT Technical Discussion.

Im using accord gen9 2.4. Same time using office preve cfe. If compared FC, CFE drank more fuel than 2.4NA. I got average 8-9km/l while the other give 12-14km/l.

The jerkiness of CVT is a no for me, surprise how Proton actually choose this punch cvt during vendor selection, laggy, jerkiness (not sure from day 1 like this) as well at traffic jam, seem like the clutch is not sure to engage or disengage, and make engine almost die.
But agreed suspension preve is better than accord, feeling wise. I dont test it at every corner just driving work and outstation.

If only Preve come with a better engine + normal torque converter, it will be ok. And a better HU for long driving comfort

yes if powertrain wise preve cfe or other variant not even come close to honda powertrain bro. especially the 2.4 earth dreams engine..the 5 speed auto responded very well when you need to accelerate it will downshift instantly...suspension and chassis wise preve is better and somehow the solid feeling is what makes me return back to preve..

both also is a good car and the accord pretty much still handsome till today...it is one of the best choice if one were to upgrade their preve to D segment car..the 2.0l 2014 sell at 50k dy now.. buy it and change to tein endura pro plus damper with stock spring.. plonk in rear 19mm arb..should be ready to go..haha

Hi guys, i had bought and installed the electric harness for the blower fan, but the car still giving me check engine lamp which occurrd when i do relay testing tat time. I tried bought an obd device, it says the error code is P0481 which is cooling fan 2 control circuit. However the fan is running and there is no more issue now. Last checked relay no problem. Tried clear the fault, but everytime start car still have. Thinking of trying changing relay but then, maybe it is cheaper to just ask proton sc to clear the fault from their machine lol..

Tat day did check also motor winding, all okay and fan bearing no problem also. The fan is running fine, its just the melted harness.

Any recommendation for kepong area?

Hi every one. Need help. Is any one out there have a 2013 Preve CFE with a working gps.? I need a copy of all files in side the HU sim card.
My 2013 preve CFE gps went wild, showing loc some where at sea near singapore for some times now. Tqvm.

This is not my actual HU but the type is similar like this.

Haha listen to this guy ya. I had suspension noise issues unsolved for months and i went to one of his recommended bengkel and everything solved

Thinking to sell my 2012 preve cfe.

Does current civic 1.8 will make me feel underpowered? Or is it a tad better in performance?

Of course better. Civic is lighter than Preve, and more bigger engine capacity

Thanks. But the torque for civic 1.8 is much lower compare to preve cfe. How?

Edit oops. For CFE im not sure. I was comparing with NA

If Prve exec sure better, but for CFE looks like the CFE is faster

Yes, my mistake. On paper the CFE is faster. Can reach peak torque 205Nm only at 2krpm vs 4.3k rpm 174Nm at 4.3k

Thanks bro. That is my main concern, if change to civic 1.8, then feels underpowered, better I don't sell my cfe. Hahaha

If you ask me, i dont mind changing to NA Civic. Main reason is the better CVT and build quality hahah. About the engine performance since i drive a slow Preve NA, then i dont mine. And nowadays my driving style is more relaxed unlike the first 4 years i drive the Preve

But the Preve is almost half the prive of Civic

Accordana is way cheaper in 2nd hand market

Hi. Happened to me too previously. Try to check your spark plug and clean throttle body. Tq

using Garmin right? try download map from Malfreemaps, or follow this guide. remember to make a backup of current files.

Hi ... I dont think it is Garmin. That why I need a copy of all files from working HU gps. Btw Tq for your respond.

the pro vs prefe cfe were:
1. FC. Campro cfe fuel is on the high side while Civic being 1.8NA + CVT give better FC, easily 14-15km/l
2. Better CVT being a torque converter CVT, more direct as opposed clutch-based cvt as preve. The jerkiness is almost none as Preve.

The no 2 makes u feel the car is easy to move, no need to push more.
