Same except very slightly retuned CVT . All sorts of minor problems to haunt you from day 1.

Common problem include
Burnt headlight at least once every month
Burnt fuse box
Fan not moving while on the move
Fan won't stop after engine off
OCH even replaced under recall they still use the same material which prone to leak again, any replacement after is not covered.
Over cranking engine start up
High fuel consumption
Engine die off when put in reverse after cold night

Have a 2012 Preve:
- fan won't stop after engine off (heard this is normal behavior, happens to my Savvy sometimes)
- high fuel consumption (true, get around 9-10km/l only)

The rest of the above isn't so common IMO.

One more issue with the Preve Turbo is the leaking of small pieces of sponge from the air cond vents. and it happened to my car twice.

Another issue is the plastic piece on the gear knob may become loose and fall off. This problem got fixed under warranty for my car.

Yup, the plastic piece fell off within first year of ownership, but it's rectified already. Fixed once and it's ok.
