Mine cost rm1800 for whole car and was given a free MedKlinn air cleaner


That's was the best that I reached once. I was also suprised myself. On average, I get around 420km for a full tank. I'm now using Caltex Techron 95 all the time.
around 90% highway driving most of the time (LDP and ELITE, NKVE). Using Mobil S2000x2 semi syn oil.

which SC you have been sending your car to?
the SC at mutiara damansara uses only Petronas Syntium 800. They don't even have a full syn oil Syntium 1000

i want to try some other proton SC. anyone knows where got good ones which can bring own engine oil or at least have more engine oil to choose from?

any other SC in PJ area that uses non Synthium 800?
Serdang is quite far for me

why want the satria neo meter cluster? take the Persona SE one nicer

like that also you continue to drive?
should bring back to SC to rectify asap. definitely brake not releasing fully.

i also drove my SE to Cameron after getting the car less than 3 months. Drove up and down using the simpang pulai route. i must agree that the handling and braking of my car is good. can feel it especially coming downhill . like you, i also drove quite fast down around the same speed as u. still remember there was a pick up truck following me all the way down

My Persona SE managed to travel 485km on 1 full tank yesterday

went to a colleague's wedding dinner yesterday in Menglembu. drove from Damansara, go pick up other colleagues in Taman Jaya LRT, then go back to Damansara toll, reach Tg. Malim pick another colleague makan2, then go Bidor makan again, then go Ipoh sesat a bit and round2 then stop to makan again. Finally go Menglembu. Finish dinner, go out from Simpang Pulai and back to Tg Malim drop colleague.
Right after drop him, my low fuel tank light lid up. I remember our Persona still have 8 litres of fuel when the low fuel indicator lights up. i get an average of 11km/l so 8 litres mean I can go another +-80km.
So, didn't bother to pump in Tg Malim and thought just pump at R&R area. Continue driving, all the way can't find big R&R with petrol station. Finally found an Esso in Sg Buloh jejantas stop. Usually pump caltex, but this time dun care and pump esso RM15. If dun have this Esso, surely will drive until no fuel d haha. was getting worried too

oh, my mileage now slightly above 15K km d. should i send for service or wait till 20K km? my last service was at 10K km.

420km is also the average distance i can get with 1 full tank during daily driving to and from work. I usually will try to not to drive when the low fuel indicator lights on for too long. So i reckon with the remaining fuel, should be easy to hit 450-470km in total. But better not risk finishing the fuel while driving as it's not good for engine haha

i have gotten around 370km and still left 1 bar before too. but the last bar always go down much faster.. in the end can get only around 420km like you.
15K should go service? If not mistaken our persona only needs service every 10K km right, like a vios right? or is this a wrong info given by the service book and SC?
any problem if i only go service at 20K km?

dunno what is tong hoi and mun cheong. if you're asking about the restaurant name, then it's East Ocean Restaurant i think. yeah, quite happy with the FC for this trip
when going up, drive around 130-140. when coming back, it was raining most of the way and dark, so can only drive 90-120 at max. lucky i already changed my wipers, otherwise i think have to drive even slower due to heavy down pour at some area.

Auto

Nothing. No mod, all stock. Just that I using Mobil S2000 X2 Semi Syn oil and pumping Caltex always now. I find that Caltex gives my car a good balance of mileage, power and engine noise.
Follow the tyre pressure as indicated in the sticker on the driver's door area. 31psi on front and 28psi on rear tyres.

hrm.. can say 90-95% highway driving most of the time on LDP and ELITE. I usually like to cruise around 110-120 (if traffic permits) in LDP and in ELITE, i drive 140 most of the way. Once a while do some spirited driving, like overtaking and a bit hard accelaration after toll (rpm can go to 4k+-)

Usually drive alone, but if got go out lunch with colleagues, i will drive and will have 3 passengers normally. Other than that, if my GF around in KL, i will go out with her quite frequent also.

Now that I think about the recent trip, I actually managed to get 485km per tank with 4 adults in the car and little baggage in the but (biscuits, coffee, pamelo, shirt, shoe etc)
Oh, and I used alot of the Cruise Control during the journey as well. Really comes in handy in long journey

Added on January 5, 2010, 10:57 amIf you put on D / N / P and pressing on the brake pedal, whenever a door closes, it will auto lock the doors.
If N / P and use hand brake without pressing the brake pedal, it wont auto lock.
I have tested many times to confirm this.

The autolock after 30 seconds only happen if you unlock your car but not get in your car within the 30 seconds (as per written in the manual). then it will autolock. It does not autolock 30 seconds after you come out of car or stop the engine.
This also I have tested and confirmed.

to prevent myself getting lock out of the car (just in case if the autolock becomes gila) when i get down the car while engine is running, i will ensure my door doesn't get shut or i will actually wind down the window a bit so that my hand can still reach in if it really autolocks for no reason.

sorry to hear that. don't really hear much about wiring problem. guess u must be one of the very few unlucky ones to encounter such problem with a new car.

May I know which SC branch you went that uses Shell Helix engine oil and give u free ferraris?

remove the factory tint first before applying 3M. If double tint, then will become darker and thicker which may strain/stress the power window more. the factory tint is useless anyway. no effect at all...

can't remember the number of years for the warranty. but i know it's indeed long because when i hear about it from my SA in the mutiara damansara branch, i was also suprised.
but in terms of mileage, the warranty covers up to 170K km if not mistaken. so which ever comes first, then the warranty period will end at that time.

you want the tint voucher? i sell to you for rm50 . I didn't use at all. They gave me the Cool World voucher. Decided to go elsewhere myself to tint 3M

it comes with safetint? i only know it comes factory tinted... where you get that info from?

but if it is safetint, then yea, it should prevent the glass from being easily broken.

Finally today I got my Persona SE stock rims changed

Now using Enkei Tuning SC09 (Senz-2) 15x6.5, 8 holes 100/114.3, offset 38 with Hyper Black lock nuts and metal valves

It weighs 7kg each while my stock SE rim weighs 8kg each (weighted it in the shop). I know this is not considered a light rim, but as long as it's lighter than the original ones, I'm happy. I'm attracted more to the design

Bought from Kent of Kean Lee Hin tyre shop. Here's his URL in Automotive Garage Sales. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1041407
Good seller, recommended

some pictures to share












the offset 38 makes the wheels come out more to the arches, making it slightly more sporty

I like simple design. want the disc brake to be visible . yeah, not too obvious, buy if i put the old rim and new rim side by side, you can see the differences.
old one, the color more dull and has 6 spokes. new one the color is brighter and shinier, got 7 spokes and the spokes are relatively thinner.
