...no rev tak boleh naik....but normally before reaching corner, i slow down around 40-60km (depending on corner) and drop gear to maintain the rpm around 3k rpm...then once after corner...step on pedal and the car will move happily.....revving full no problem..la..just make sure you change the engine oil and ATF fuild 15-20k...if u rev frequently....i wonder for those who driving IAFM models, still have the lag/no pickup??...as for mine is non-iafm...so 2-3k no power..

...have a small TT....

its more to rough sound..its the campro engine characteristic..mine non-iafm during hot afternoon, around 2k will sound rough

get use to it and more chip off coming soon...mine front got around 10chip off, cause by stones....so i can conclude that the paint quality on persona is not really good..

around 10...for outside..la

any tyre shop, or workshop able to do that...price from 10-20....mostly RM10 will do....

yours auto right??.. i notice after 30k above..can easily reach 190km.... compare to when its new...

@bro heavencould
change brake pads...brake pads problem...and since the brake pads is new, try to find an empty road and drive contantly at 80km and gently press the brake to slow down till 20km and quickly accelerate again....do it 4-5 times to bed in the brake pads....and after doing it....if possible dont stop the car completely (use handbrake to stop the car & DONT press the brakes when the car moving slowly)....possible do it at night to avoid traffic jam as if you brake when its hot, the material on the new pads will create uneven surfaces on the rotor that causes vibration when braking...

around 5000rpm ...5400rpm @ 190km...

wah...sounds scary..mine 2year plus d..park under the sun all day long.....

i got the 3point bar rm150 also...it was way last year and i bought frm the worker of former autogenesis

waja 4g?..u mean 4g18?...

torquey @ city drive and up to 4000rpm...but highway drive like reaching topspeed, persona will be faster as i do drive 4g18 once a while, most of the time it will stuck at 170km...and hard to climb to even 180km...and the pickup on high revs is slow unlike the campro......4g18 is soch engine..so pickup definitely punchy....

wah bro....you must be relying on the brakes from top where i believe when coming down there is a lot of speed bumps.....for me, i usually put to L, and make the car roll slowly when reaching speed bumps and from top till the police station...playing with gears to hold the car is important to avoid braking system works continuously....when i reach the 2nd police station, the brakes will be spongy but still able to slow down the car.. .....DOT4 or DOT5.1...does not matter...what matters is your brake pads and engine braking... For me, i just use Bosch DOT4 with Formula IMP 600'C and the system provides sufficient braking right from the top till down....maybe you can flush the fluid to DOT 4 with better brands like BOSCH, CALTEX, MOTUL brake fluids.... ....

btw...find 1 day we have small TT, and go genting...

Added on February 14, 2010, 8:04 pmyes..its the characteristic of the engine and the slow response of drive by wire delay...for manual for sure you will get noticed, but for auto, not much although sometimes you might see once a while....to reduce it, when switching to next gear, hold on the neutral "free gear" for 1-2secs and change.

haha..ralf....why not right??...convoy at genting...if got ppl want to go..wait 4 ur car repaired 1st... ...
btw sounds scary lost braking...so far i never encounter it yet...but upon reaching police station, the brakes spongy...

normal...cause its damn hot even the disc rotor can fry a meat... ..it will go off after long drive.....btw..today just went to bukit tinggi resort.....and since mine is the 1st batch without iafm, the torque lag between 2000rpm-3000rpm is definitely a killer...where i try to stick to D mode @ 2000-3000rpm region, the car cannot move further until i downshift it to 3 ,where is just 10% steepness... but dont know with IAFM models..whether have improvements even they claim so...

...looks like passo...wah this shot in UK??.. ...and the freaking speed meter increases damn fast.. ...
Clarion only for waja,saga,exora......gen2,persona all the way is blaupaunkt....maybe they use blaupaunkt since gen2 uses it and the dashboard is specially design for it...

super steep road?..perhaps downhill?
