Good to buy considering the price. Drives well and quite spacious. Want better fc and less problem then go for the non-turbo version. Service also cheaper for the non-turbo version.

No need listen to dupe lah. Proton has made many improvements over the years and their latest models actually not that bad. The Preve is ok ok lah. As usual, QC is still 50/50. You will either get a lemon or it will have no problems.

But the Preve has one design flaw and that is the engine CC is too weak for the weight. You will need to rev a lot to feel responsive between 0-50kmh. Unless the price is dirt cheap, I would not recommend Preve.

Not bad for a cheap turbo car. Better than my Peugeot 3008. Lost to one recently. Haih.

CVT or not, 1.6l non-turbo is too weak to power a C-Segment car.

Beware if car is over 60k (real mileage not temprered)

My car after 60k, need to spend for major services (normal) battery replacement (normal) tayar (normal) although my tayar no need to change at 60k because already change at 40k. Radiator fan relay around rm50 (not normal). Aircond fusebox (not normal luckily still under warranty). If turbo have to see oil cooler hose already replace or not.

I think just prepare at least additional 5k

The weight also a factor looo. Try the Saga or Iriz CVT and confirm you will feel a difference in responsiveness. Preve really should have been at least 2.0.
