Hmm. 30+ for preve executive is expensive. You can get premium with that price.
I survey around from carlist and other thing on internet. That was the price for 2015 model. And im not looking for turbo one.

2nd hand dealer... confirm mileage preve kena usik. bring the car reg number to sc for check n ready to be shocked.
people let go preve because of few reasons, mainly gearbox kong.
Can i call proton line and ask them to check if i have reg number?

Almost bought a Preve but opt for different car. The issue with Preve that I found is the CVT and the turbo maintenance. Ask yourself la, if the owner sold that car for that low mileage, must be because of the car issue right? And almost all 2nd hand car dealership I go the Preve they sold is below 30K.
This one is not turbo. Turbo even got extra problem and the maintenance expenses might get higher. Not to mention the FC since turbo kicks in on 2k rpm based on what i read.
Which car do you opt to?

Dear
d4rk_m4n Let me share with you my Exora FC. Preve FC maybe slightly better.
On my recent trip to Cameron , Kampar and Ipoh trip.
3 adults, 2 children and luggages.
Highway - Shows around 8.x L per 100KM.
Drive up from Simpang Pulai to Cameron and plus driving around with FC meter reset (for measuring purposes) from Simpang Pulai onwards,
does around 12.3L per 100KM.
By the time I drive downhill slightly its already 11.7KM/L
Good simulation of uphill and town driving + traffic jam when reach Kg Raja.
Upon returning back to KL, I averaged about 9.4L/100KM. Combined cycle aka Highway + City driving.
Total distance covered - 662KM . Total amount of fuel used - RM 143.50
Like I said before in other threads, I dont look at Exora (or Preve) as a " 1600cc" engine.
Its turbo-ed so the perfomance is equivalent to more or less a 2.2L (engine torque comparison)
Preve weights 1300KG. Exora nearly 1500KG. So for comparison, the Preve weights similar to a new Toyota Altis 2.0L or the older Civic 2.0L FD.
So I rather compare my Exora or Preve FC with 2000CC similiar FC. Yeah, the FC is kinda of a let down only during town driving.
Maintenance wise, so far my turbo is running fine.
CVT, its only jerky when reversing and suddenly releasing the accelerator, but I read that it needs clutch calibration once in a while to solve that issue. Otherwise my CVT is doing fine.
Other than that, I'm happy to drive it. Stable up to 140-150KM/H.
Thanks for your informative input sir!
Cluth calibration can be done in SC? How much it cost?
