if turbo, be prepared, the owner might have driven it very rough

hadoi..my apologies..i thought u wrote about used car in general..didnt realise preve maintenance is that bad

What. NVH for Preve is quite still okay la for me

Yeah. But mine still ok. Compared to many other Preve users out there.

But my car i used to lenjan for grab for 1+ month.

If u tok about old Persona, that car is quite reliable to me.

Preve turbo owner since 2014. mileage 55k km.

So far no major problems, sluggish acceleration from 0-100 due to cvt, but accelerating from 100-140 is very fast, on highways I enjoy this car very much as I'm not afraid to overtake other vehicles as I know the car has the power to do so.

If you like to drive at high speed I can say this car is very stable up to 160kmh, I guess it is because of the weight of the car which contributes to the stability of the car. I have drove honda city at 140km/h and its clear that preve is more stable.

I am unsure of the mounting issue, but I guess most of the problems may arise due to the way the user drives the car itself. maybe they like to langgar bumper and drive aggressively. I guess if you drive properly you won't be seeing this issue.

Although the preve does suck fuel like a tank in city jams, since its built like one, on highway just treat the fuel consumption like a 2l car. There are those little2 things like minor vibrations on door panels, cvt vibrations and NVH that may affect your driving experience.

If you know how to drive it, then wont be a problem
I am driving Preve, no problem at traffic light.


Newer TCU update? when?


NO1 is punch CVT, but can tame.
No2 is NVH

Punch CVT. 1 of the main cause of Proton's downfall

yes but after the below, it does improve a lot. i tried it on the new persona and iriz MC. yes it has become more responsive and better.

Why so many complain about Preve's NVH ah lol

Other than the engine loud sound during accelration, otger area quite ok. Road noises, outside noises all ok to me.

At least way better than mibi and saga la.

For that price you lose some you get some la

its a potong..

lucky you. most drivers not so lucky.

>engine noise
>CVT whine
>wind noise from the rear
>even the driver seat is noisy
>once the mounting wears out after 1-2 years (give or take), enjoy endless hours of rattle

to drive this car is to be a masochist

At least old saga and myvi no cvt whine. When you push it uphill to genting, the cvt whine like crazy.

I got it new, and its the cheapest C-seg car available on the market
NVH is subjective thing, I dont get the loud engine noise/gear noise, but I got the wind noise from door (can be fix with rubber strip)

But now new Preve 2018 no more MT in production !!!

What could be the reason ?

The car is solid and stable even at 210km/h, just that the engine and gearbox noise is so damn loud at that speed even you turn radio full blast also still cannot beat the loudness of engine roar

Say NO to potong. I have a new saga & problem a lot. Good luck bro.

see my nickname u already know I'm giving independent opinion. yes, the best car so far in term of quality per ringgit.

ayam 100k soon. first batch preve. never give be a single problem so far. and cheap maintenance every time. what a steal.


Attached thumbnail(s)

I have a car with CFE engine..but not a preve

Dont buy

Try better insulation on your door , cabin & bonnet !!
