Used preve is very cheap, is it problematics? Good to buy? Anyone can share their stories?

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.

one major problem, mounting is weak

its not the CC la dey...

its the slowpoke punch powertrain CVT....

better stay away from turbo version
i own exec n follow several fb group of preve.
mostly getting headache n want to sell.

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.

Love the stiff steering feedback.

By all means, go for Manual tranny.

Its a solid car , FC not good cause its a heavy car but its really a value for money car.

I heard the turbo need constantly service. Don let the turbo clogged with dirt and oil.

not bad preve

pick up fast

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

Also what i noticed. May turbo owner complained sengguk senguk after started the engine. I noticed they started the car using the push start wrongly

If money is your problem

Than u are making more money problem when buying preeve

"Rev" higher but rpm still ok. Normall acceleration never exceeds 3k rpm for me

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.

0-200 my 1.0t can tapao this 1.6t car. But after 200 this car still got some juice left

Stupid proton relay also cost RM50???

Saga flx cost around rm15-20 for bosch

last proton

ohwai suprima iriz

Check age & mileage. If < 5 years, still got warranty.
Be prepared to spend on (1 time cost):
1) Mountings
2) Suspension (absorbers + mounts)
3) Rear upper arm

These 3 things break 1st, but once fixed, you'll love the ride.

Right & right. But the CVT can do 140km/h @2000rpm. If you're on the highway mostly, you'll love this. Plus, if you get the TCU updated, it's much better than it was before.

Regards,
Manual Preve Owner

I buy from mekanik bawah pokok

No choice already late at night that time. Too urgent

Hence rm50

honda civic is c segment, aye?

Good car actually...
I was loaned a HQ lack love unit...
Totally abused inside out with paint peeling off and interior bits broken...heck! Even the Proton logo disappeared due to the abuse (as in half was missing after a long period under the sun)...
But if the drive was good and the most surprising part is, no rattling or 🐀 noise!

FC was better than the Campro in a Gen2...

Set a right mindset for the price you pay for the car. It exceeded my expectation. or maybe my expectation is not high to begin with. Hahaha...

Yes, so?

Now got simpan spare inside car

Just in case fan die in long journey outstation

if u want cheap car but less problems get a used persona instead! at least the spare parts won't be expensive.

i'm serious!

He wanted to say Civic 1.5 only

But he Tak Tau he quoted 1.6 non T vs 1.5T kot... Kemaluan besar

Deng your NA 1.6 vs turbocharged 1.6

Eh last time you said you're Axia woh

non turbo are just same as Saga blm or Persona elegance lel......

what car will not has problem after long use , even new car will need to change these part when the mileages reach , unless most /k practice change new car every 2~3 years

can but parts soon no more original, since the entire design face out

R u kidding? My mercedes e250 is 2.0, u saying preve should be same as it? 1.6 turbo should be more than enough for preve size. Blame it on preve lousy engine and gearbox design. Too inefficient

What is the symptom od the problematic rear upper arm? Do you mean the kruk kruk sound from rear suspension?

change mivec 1.6 engine rm6k

no need to worry turbo and CVT gearbox



preve mivec

the only thing i hate about preve is cvt tumbuk. and other small2 things which still can be consider. but that cvt tumbuk seriously cant take it

Hahahaha!

multiplexer

wat the diff?
better pikap for turbo versiun?

when i young like to baiki car but now no time.

coming up to 6 years, not much big problems for my turbo version.
CVT is sluggish and need to really get used to it going out of junctions.
but on the highway is a very nice machine.
fully maintained by proton edar SC and recently changed timinng belt.
feel like changing to 7 seater due to family expanded but resisting the temptation 😁

my brother got forte, turbo 1 jimat minyak dari forte aku.

The peeve has a major design flaw.
Look at the headlights and front grill. Very flat looking and small headlights. Something not right
The back is too chunky as the car rises too steeply to the back.
The turbo engine performs just like a NA engine, I wouldn’t even call it a turbo, look at the spec, very slow and underpowered.
Don’t get me started with the cvt gearbox
No wonder you do not see any peeves on the road these days
Avoid this vehicle by all cost.

I have a Preve Turbo version. Year 2012. Mileage 205k km. Running just fine. Remap + chipped roughly got 150-160HP , 220-240Nm..

Bro you running 40K KM per year??

MBOxRaceChip?

My neighbour hantam her wife preve as a grab car...

Morning til night he hantam...

Every 4-5 days mesti masuk bengkel ada je benda kena repair 😂😅😓

1st year 80k, next 4 years about 30-40k.

Ya bro.. Hahaha

is that what it is? mine have that sound too but i just can't be bothered.


hahaha use preve as grab car memang tak balik modal

Yup. Same sound as a busted front lower arm... My car sounds like a drum concert now

Wow... I bet you're on of Ferrari's designers. Such insightful comments... much to think of

Gang Mine's also a 2012 car, and clocked 2015K KM But less HP and manual

for example the cvt tumbuk?
how bad

Bro, I think he meant the Punch CVT on Preves. The CVT's area build by Punch Powertrain. Punch = "tumbuk"

dude off course i know cvt tumbuk is punch cvt
im asking how bad was the cvt on the preve la, aiyoo.

what? my car clocked 170k++ only once change battery. all those stuffs u mention oso never change..still working flawlessly. tyre it's normal lah..it's only rubber and tends to wear out with usage. the only major service that i did was timing belt replacement at 95k. minor service (engine oil, spark plugs, gear oil) no need to countlah..just replace them periodically. persona.

cvt tumbuk or cvt punch (real name) is the preve gearbox. its not a problem but it is cvt punch nature. lag and delay whenever u wanna move ur car from stop for example at traffic light. u cant drive like how u did on normal 4AT car. u need to give it a time before u can move. this nature of cvt punch makes ppl think there are some serious problem in preve but actually it is not. ofcourse it is no longer a problem if u manage to tame it. give it a time then u know how to handle the car.

but, if u buy the mt version, u will not experience such issue.

Means it sucks lor. I drive many CVTs. So far, Honda's new CVT is the best. Better than same class AT.

Aiyo why you tok Bout persona. My post for ts is for preve la.

The preve cvt memang suck pun. The no 1 weakness of Preve

Actually, the newer TCU updates help a lot... or at least that's what I heard lah
But I agree with you on the manual

P/S: How come so many trolls on this thread?
P/S/A: Baru perasan, it's in /k/

i thought NVH is the no 1 weakness of Preve

preve owner here, currently at 40km mileage.
so far no not much problem, got major service at 40km for 500RM (proton edar service)

but i agree the power is lacking, still good enough for city driving.
it's comfortable and that's what is important in a very jam city driving.
reliable and never dies on me while driving on the road.

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 !!

why

agree dude..
Punch made in china...hihi

Actually, if it can churn out a bit more power, it'll be nice. At least get the torque "up" sikit

Sluggish? LOL. Adjust the pedal response la. You want to fly also can

Value-for-money car in the segment

inb4 Real man drive a MT

tested preve at 210 km/h at malaysian autobahn. still stable. City and vios all eat my smoke.

only problem is the fuel eating monster living inside the engine.

im waiting for geely to bring emgrand gs as b segment suv protong

that will be my first car after 8 years of working

where got malaysian autobahn? MEX?

NKVE after midnight. Day time always got speedtrap

TS use ur brain and think ,, is it good or not ?? see on the road how many happy users on the road .. i can tell u almost none .. u can judge by urself is it really good or not . or u really like it then u mer try loh.. money is urs

Most enthusiastic Proton buyers do

lekas highway?

i found kesas highway very comfortable to drive on high speed.

no pothole or bump on tht 1 strech

What is the summary? Preve second is good or not?

Good for long distance.

FC in town, so so.

Got pro and con. Choose wisely.
