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.

Somebody call it Proton Pervert..... :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor:

-

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
-
Front look like imprezza and rear look like A4.. But better thn inspira which just copy lancer direct.. I like preve but I am not pervert ;D
-
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 :Confused:

new pic from showroom....launching this monday

Similar design like Kia Forte.... copy cat design as usual.
-
Further improvement is required to sustain in the global arena.

Agreed with your comment. :thumbsup:
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..
-
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! ;D
-
Turbo different in what way?
You guys gotta know, this is a very light pressure turbo. Pointless to compare with anything over 200hp.
-
the person told that that is a soft turbo. for local market i think should be OK. but for international maybe need improvement.
-
And why is a soft turbo not suitable for intl market?
-
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 :)
-
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)
-
Ive heard that the turbo lag is really bad. :thumbsdown:
-
My experience with eXora bold turbo is quite impressive, almost instantaneous, but accompany with lid engine and gear box noise.
-
And why is a soft turbo not suitable for intl market?
I do not think is suitable because i feel the car is without turbo (although it is with turbo). However, is just my feeling about this car.

soft turbo actually

RM73k is not reasonable at all. What I cannot accept is some Proton cars are sold cheaper in overseas than M'sia. What kind of logic is that. But our govt expect us to give our "fool" support to M'sian cars.

They nvr expect u to support actually
They force u to support by excise tax n import tax with the knowledge of our income level!!!
-
Not really into this car. The proportions dont feel right, Imo.

sorry Proton.. for RM73k, i'd rather buy a good, used 5 year old European car and it will still be more technologically advanced. plus the fact that even though it is a used car, it will still last longer than a Proton.
