LAUNCH: Proton Prevé (From RM59,990 to RM72,990 OTR)!

[ken yeang]

most of the new car also use stupid cheap plastic...why only proton all of u like to condem?

This is simply because The TOPIC OF DISCUSSION is on PROTON PREVE.


Anyway, since you are bringing on the topic of other cars, I PERSONALLY do not like the plastic in VIOS and CITY as well. The price tag too high, while the plastic is low in quality. Ask any malaysian, I'm quite sure they would agree. Anyway, willing buyer, willling seller.


Would that make you feeling better? or are you a Proton Cybertrooper or salesman?

As a result, the Prevé is now the first Proton model ever to receive the 5-star Malaysian Vehicle Assessment Programme (MyVAP) rating by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety (MIROS).

Wow another Malaysia Boleh moment. Cannot pass NCAP? Never mind! We create our own crash assessment programme and pass our own cars. Viola!

Global car my ass.

ill still take persona

Why? This is bigger, faster, and better equipped.

 

[beatnik]

engine has 205Nm of torque.. punch gearbox can withstand up to 215Nm.. later mod here and there.. good luck to the future fast n furious owners.. :joyman:

and the tires? sime-conti will probably gives better image and more suitable for a "global" car.

and like DeaconFrost said.. they'll be Preve owners club, Preve CFE owners club, Preve Elegance Club, Preve Sapphire Edition Club, Preve Tuners, PROPREV club, Preve Global Car club, Preve Performance Club.. etc. KITA KONVOIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nazman]

sad to see interior design.. speedometer itself got no improvement in design..

 

[DeaconFrost]

and like DeaconFrost said.. they'll be Preve owners club, Preve CFE owners club, Preve Elegance Club, Preve Sapphire Edition Club, Preve Tuners, PROPREV club, Preve Global Car club, Preve Performance Club.. etc. KITA KONVOIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Off topic: there'll be clubs based on:
1. Car model;
2. Car model: but from the Northern region;
3. Car model: this time from Southern region;
4. Car model: for owners from Malacca town only;
5. Car limited edition model;
6. Splinter club created when committee members fight between themselves;
7. Engine model - Non-CFE engine Preve cannot join CFE Preve club, convert also cannot: need to show registration card;
8. Owners from one workshop;
9. Owners from another workshop.

It's never ending story, this.

All these clubs will do a convoy, and will:
1. Use police escort;
2. 'Belanja makan' the police;
3. Before get police escort, must find objectives for convoy: e.g. promote patriotism, promote road safety, visit to welfare houses;
4. Promote patriotism - yet 'belanja makan' police who can do something better like catching car thieves;
5. Promote road safety - yet police escort will shove other cars to the side until they almost accident, other road users need to wait until traffic jam;
6. Visit to welfare houses - which you can do subtlely without degrading into an attention whore.

One last thing about convoy - you'll get to the destination later than usual.

Have you been anywhere near the car to comment on the quality and compare it to Forte and Civic? Have you? Tell me, I'm curious..

 

[fstr]

srsly, i dunno why everyone like to bash proton.

every organization has their own problems, both financially and with the people.

but they are a car manufacturer, they built cars so ppl can afford one since its consider a national car, so whats the hype?

like kenyeang said, willing buyer - willing seller.

why dont someone open one topic on new vios or new city?

i bet proton has a better platform to compare with city and vios, i have own proton for most of my life.... old protons has better quality built then other ckd manufacturers such as vios and city, which are manufactured in thailand.

and to add, honda city feels like paper when driving and its even worst then my WIRA of 10 yrs, yes altou its built under a lancer chasis but its far solid then a city.

Vios or City only has technologies to make the buyers feel they are safe when driving but think bout it again...... nowdays drivers can drive??

so to end all this bashing, end of the day.... its only the driver that has the final feedback on the car.

u test drive it once, doesnt mean u will like it laa ok.... u first tackle ur gf, ur gf also dont like u at first one laa... get it?

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

errr...who says cheapo plastic dashboard that already see and touch first hand on it????


i would say not bad....considering like other "P" cars or even small hatch blue oval brand plastic interior quality are even not that good....


not the best but it got nice texture to touch...different surface for different area...totally better than gen2/persona grade from my view (*and touch last night)

but about the exterior possibly love-hate decision.....so i rest my case on this area...

but the sound system pretty decent playing nice and clear sounds as well with good bass (*off course la no subwoofer thumping bass)....for a stock car within the price range it is pretty good....

 

[20v_ke35]

Can I have one CFE with 6 speed manual please......

 

[TitanRev]

I think not just Proton have cheap plastic. Even the New Prius I bought for my sister have cheaper plastic. I sit inside 1 time only also not feeling want to sit for the 2nd time. The Prius C much worst....

agree with you. nowadays they all just the same. didn't blame the material. but i really want to know whose the one that design the dashboard. it look very awkward.

 

[XlimShady]

Wonder what turbo they put in there..... and how much boost. Only about 10hp extra from a stock cps engine....

 

[EvolutionZ]

i personally test driven the car and the result based on my personal experience....

- acceleration is good for 1.6 (compared to many 1.5, 1.6 & even 1.8)
- interior quietness - very quiet - good insulation even i am revving at rpm5000 plus
- handling - superb 10/10 - challenge my statement if u have better car in this C-segment (stock to stock)....i took 3/4 roundabout turn doing 80km/h and it doesnt steer ....
- fuel consumption - only god knows...cos still new and nobody using it yet..but u want performance - fuel is not an issue rite?
- dashboard quality - plastic....maybe u tell me which car use carbon fibre or metal sheet as dashboard or using full leather dashboard like italian sports car.....with the price range of rm60k to rm120k......i personally can accept the quality of dashboard..at least i can foresee their wont torn off like some japanese or korean made car....
- design - many cars e.g civic ek, lancer gt or even some sports car...at 1st sight sometime we see its ugly but slowly we can accept it and slowly fell for it.
- features to price - what can i comment further (magnesium paddle shift, 7 speed cvt, 4 airbags, rain sensor, light sensor, abs, tc, vsc, lotus ride & handling, push start, gps, 5yrs warranty, 150k km, SiD, 4G, cfe)
- power window - the SA told me 200000km warranty or 10years...so i think not an issue.

the above are based on my own personal experience test driving the car...not pro proton or so..just a fair statement...personally i am driving a persona yr 2009...i am still very happy with it.....cheerz n out.

 

[pwhyze]

A comment from someone who actually drove one! Cheers!

 

[mkdreamervl]

Hmmm.....


I went to the Preve launching yesterday to touch and view the real thing. And it is my personal opinion that i will NOT buy it, or think of buying it. To me its a waste of hard earned money.

Nothing to comment on the engine and the interior , since to each his own , some like it some doesn't. The use of cheap plastic some can bear with it, some cannot. The use of Malaysia's own safety rating system to rate their own cars, some find it stupid and insulting, some doesn't.

You like you buy lah , you don't like don't buy lah.


My 2 cents worth.

Peace

I ,for one, like to bash protong because I am are part indirect shareholders of the whole gimmick maa.

If proton were conceived from someone else's personal piggy bank ,who would give a damn? (except maybe the willing buyer lah) but protong was built with my farkin tax money!! Dont I deserve to critical of the establishment for being pathetic right from the beginning?

Each time a new model is launched I was hoping it would take flight and recover but only to be disappointed with ol' power window problem, door handle breaking and the likes, how?

So now comes along Pray-vah...........Pray-hard!

(My own opinion and feeling,just in case someone felt kecik hati)

Proton Preve..
1. Money wise --> quite reasonable based on engine and drivetrain performance
2. Performance wise --> Looks ok based on paper spec
3. Looks wise --> FAILED.. the interior looks cheap while the body looks tall and narrow (like honda city).. why can't they make the car bulkier or sportier.. Proton head of styling department really don't know how to make a car

BTW.. when can i book the test drive session at proton.. want to test the engine performance
