Preview: Proton Preve

Yes.
The car is officially launched today by the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

I've tested the car immediately after its official launch together with one of my friend.

Below is the summary of what I think of it, (based on a 30 mins test drive), posted here.

==========

nope...

the acceleration is so so.... the 205 NM dont make itself felt... 
frankly if u ask me.... i feel the acceleration of a FD2 can match this car


the interior wise, feels solidly put together but the overall packaging could be better <-- bashers will take this as a poorly build interior as they will not understand what is overall packaging.. poor them 

(as much as i think the interior can be better, this is a right step as compared to the interior of previous proton's)

as a typical proton, its the driving dynamics of this car even with traction control off (in the wet), (sorry to those on LDP earlier for terrorizing u guys), that really shines... brakes are solid, steering feel is excellent, lane change stability is there, the chassis is well composed no matter how i try to shake it off balance (hand brake corner in taman megah)..

very big thanks to the folks in taman sea showroom for giving me this extended test drive with my friend...
and we are sorry for burning the brakes... the brakes faded when we returned the car... (yes u can smell them, brake smell i meant)
 

cant wait to see what the R3 boys can do to its already well sorted chassis...


P/S: 
no, i am not paid.... and if u would ask me, i would think they can do better with the interior and oh yeah, bigger brakes please. preve brakes is smaller then those on the exora bold

(If you can't see it, sorry, its shared from my friend who was with me that time)

=================

A more comprehensive personal (together with better quality pictures la of course, how good can a phone captured picture be?) will be done once I go for a second drive this weekend.

For now, the above is my initial opinion.

Feel free to discuss.

Thank you again to the folks from Taman Sea branch and not forgetting my friend who recommend me to this branch.
