How bad is the Punch gearbox? Highway 110km/h how is the rpm ? What's the purchase price now?

prolly because ativa is higher where persona is lowered. Hence your family prefer ativa.

As an ativa co-owner (wife car), i definitely still love driving my preve..hahaha
even my wife have to agree on it.

daily driving it and city driving, ativa is alright due to it small city car but on highway, not the greatest.
already install some stabilizer bar just to keep it stabile around corner.

preve still the best on highway and twisty road.

enjoy your ativa!

- do soundproofing (that 3cyl really annoying when getting up speed)
- stabilizer bar
- if can, change the headunit to android player

then why not bigger like exora.. hahaha from HRV + JAZZ > Exora quiet a big changed.. after driving it for a couple of weeks i can tell you:
1) the exora is more comfortable for family
2) besides of the punch CVT gearbox noise the NVM is so much improved.. i was impressed! PS: i never test drive before buying the car was expecting worse
3) handles better as well considering it's an MPV of course the Jazz is just so nimble for it to beat but this big car doesn't dissapoint

PS: not downgrading incase you ask just a temp car until proton came out with their Geely MPV or the X90. Booked the X70 standard but they refuse to sell to me.. so i also kuai lan dorwan that. LOL

110km/h 2.5k.. much better than my mum's 1.6 saga.. the acceleration just have some noise but barrable.

How much you bought the Exora for ? How's the turbo CFE engine, did Proton make any improvement on it?

i can't tell compared to the older gens but this unit I'm driving pretty good.. rm66k all in.. including insurance and all.

Great to hear from you about this.
Exora is definitely a bargain at current price point. The only common sticky issue is the och. And proton still cant fix it.

I've recommended to my friends as well. Especially those who have bigger family and want to keep the car cost down.

yeah... OCH indeed the main headache but its a mixed bag.. anyway within warranty period just change the hose once after warranty will custom it.

yesss, so gonna change the headunit haha, did you changed your wife's ativa radio? if so, any recommendation for a good and budget one hehe?
Exora too big for me haha, fetch family once in a while only, but i do agree that it is more comfortable for family tho

For my wife car, no yet since I just did the stabilizer bar

probably I'll go android unit with a budget of RM1.5k.. still surveying at the moment. I do join Ativa FB group to see other owner option.

My daughter Ativa X also need andriod unit baget 1K still looking.

But it is interesting to read about the bars, you installed front strut or rear stabilizer ? How is the difference after ?

Sorry to hijack thread.

I need that android Auto and Apple Carplay feature, the mirrorlink function kinda clunky and sucks some time.

Hi sir, mind me asking how long was the waiting period for the X variant, and did you managed to choose your own colour?

The NVH of the latest ones are much better than my 2019 Preve which has already gotten the last improvements before the model was ended. In terms of the turbo engine, it is very smooth but there is a wee bit of lag which the driver will get used to and will know how to compensate for in daily driving.

Thanks. Didn't know that the Preve last production was in 2019.
