Not bad.......but i still got problem to pronounce its name.......

The rear of the car is ok, but the headlight need some deco in it, it does look alike those from China although it got LED.

Hahaha... the name preve is suppose to mean "prove" or "to prove" in spanish.
It's suppose to be a new beginning for proton... to "prove" that they can build quality cars

Not sure which segment the Preve is suppose to compete in. But I understand there will be 2 version, the sedan and the hatchback. The sedan has manual, auto and autowith turbo-assist (not sure is the term correct).

The Prevé is a C-segment car. For so many features it is really value for money. But then again, Proton's gotta work hard to gain back confidence of buyers who have moved on to Korean and Japanese cars. As for owners of continental cars, it's gonna be a hard sell. I'm not sure if I'll even buy another Proton.

My first 2 cars were protons (1988 - Saga; 1995 - Perdana), Never had problems with them. Unfortunately, my requirement for a C-segment car has already been fulfilled. Nevertheless, if Proton launchs its hybrid/electric, and the same concept of putting latest technology into the offering as what they did with Perve, I may be the market.

looks like it is aiming it's cannon towards Kia Forte ! the shape is almost the same too, but price starting from "only" 75k

new pic from showroom....launching this monday

ronnie2u · « **Reply #13 on:** April 25, 2012, 01:09:51 PM »

Similar design like Kia Forte.... copy cat design as usual.

Further improvement is required to sustain in the global arena.

Agreed with your comment.

But No improvement, can still sustain locally.

test drive the car and the turbo is bad. the sales explain that the turbo is different with other car. but just feel not enough power..

Omnipotent · « **Reply #17 on:** May 14, 2012, 06:56:19 PM »

i second that...alot of noise when throttle was mashed but no go...reaction to throttle inputs were slow as well...aircond was superb though!

takashi78 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 15, 2012, 12:14:33 PM »

Turbo different in what way?

You guys gotta know, this is a very light pressure turbo. Pointless to compare with anything over 200hp.

Annthony Siah · « **Reply #19 on:** May 16, 2012, 07:08:21 PM »

the person told that that is a soft turbo. for local market i think should be OK. but for international maybe need improvement.

takashi78 · « **Reply #20 on:** May 16, 2012, 07:36:46 PM »

And why is a soft turbo not suitable for intl market?

Laktos Kid · « **Reply #21 on:** May 16, 2012, 07:48:37 PM »

i think preve is reasonably price for the performance and the looks, of course you cant compare the car to any VW or even dual clutch cars... simply because proton is in a league of it's own

rusminag · « **Reply #22 on:** May 17, 2012, 08:21:45 AM »

With Preve price of RM73k, realistically if we don't have the high import duty, Malaysians should easily afford Toyota Altis 2.0 or Honda Civic 2.0 at lower rate (minus the import duty)

drainbamage · « **Reply #23 on:** May 19, 2012, 09:44:00 PM »

Ive heard that the turbo lag is really bad.

fhfoomelaka · « **Reply #24 on:** May 21, 2012, 05:33:46 PM »

My experience with eXora bold turbo is quite impressive, almost instantaneous, but accompany with lid engine and gear box noise.
