have you ever thought of taking the CPS version? it is very aggressively design... if i'm still single, i will go for that car...


Added on March 23, 2010, 9:14 pmI had seen many of you guys out there saying that the service interval is 5k and 10k... the booklet says 10k and the bill says 5k... have anyone just don't care what is written on the bill and go for 10k service and yet can get warranty? Pls share with us if whom ever have experience on this.

I don't think so as Proton stop product the old version Persona. I believe yours should be manufactured on year 2009 and that the reason why you got the discount 1K.

they do have yr 2010 old persona's in the market... my SA asked me whether i want to take the car... i rejected and insist of waiting for the new facelift...

you can try ecotint raybarrier, i'm using it so far so good

i will go for Ray Tech security tint for RM850. 4mil thickness for all window except front is 2mil only.

i was thinking of going for the "huper optik" from USA. but the price is way too expensive...

for those who want to install V-Cool, better go for Huper Optic. it is ceramic base film and can pass through smart tag with no problem and it won't rust.

Added on March 26, 2010, 6:43 pmOk.. persona can use normal engine oil ka, 20w50?

It is must use semi or full sync?

whats the implication if use the normal one arr.. i think service also 5k ma...SC not cover warranty?  hmm.gif
*
your ray tech is what model? mine is CS-85 comes in titanium color, gold color, and grey color. there is another cheaper vision is CS-75, the color is not so nice, comes in blue color, green color, black color.

after surveying other persona that uses ray tech, (my point of view) the grey is best.


it depends what you want for your car...

example: 20w50

the 20 is for the cool start. the lower the number, the more cooler you can start your car without damaging your engine.

the 50 is for the engine running on high temperature, the high the number the oil is thicker and can run on extreme high temperature.

if you go to the shop where they sell motor oil. you will notice that those high performance oil for racing is 10w60.

*also note that the thicker the oil will make your engine heavy and will result your FC high too.

do you have problem going through SA? if you go through SA, all those misc fees will not affect you coz SA will bear all charges from the bank...
if you want to change bank or need special arrangements, you can talk to your SA... if they want to do your business, they will try their best to meet your requirements.


Added on March 27, 2010, 4:46 pmoh no... a lot of ppl is going for the green car...! hope the plant can product enough cars for us!

anyone use the PIVOT MEGA RAIZIN in their persona??is it ok??
*
how old is your car? if your car is 2-3yrs then don't waste money to install it... coz you won't feel any difference due to the car wiring is still new.
on the other hand, if your car often burn light bulb or car light will dim when your air-con is on or you had install audio system / sub woofer, then you r advance to install the Pivot Mega Raizin. make sure you buy the main unit together with 5pcs of ground wire. you will only maximize the pivot mega raizin with those additional 5pcs wire. good luck.

Test drove the new car AT M-Line, here's what i think for the comparison:

- NVH is indeed slight better than the old one, the engine sound is quieter than my M-Line even i did the soundproofing.
- freaking cool instrumental meter, i like the red light needle part and dimming part.
- break still remain unchange, spongy.....
- handling is still the same except my streering starting got cracking sound (sigh)
- power, i found it the old one has more power, maybe because facelifted is a new car (not seasoned yet) and my M-line is MT tongue.gif
- chiffon green first colour that makes me drool about it biggrin.gif
- new side rear mirror is huge compare to old one! reduced a lot of blindspot.
- AC kompressor quieter than old one smile.gif

if you guys try to notice, the facelifted AC pipe is different with the old one.

picture above is the old model version, when u test drive the persona elegance, try to open the engine bay and check the same red spot with the above picture, u will know what i mean smile.gif wanna ask the SA about the difference about that but he seems doesnt know much about technical from the very beginning when he intro the car, so i'll just ask my favourable SC manager when i going for my next 10k service smile.gif
from what i think so far, persona really has a bad wiring(grounding is very bad), even their facelifted version, i still think they has some bad wiring as well compare with others car, especially they putting a noisiness/powerful kompressor which will make the power lag (it's so obvious and it's very annoying everytime it kicks in) and i see a lot of persona (near to 50%) on the road the rear light always only 3 red bulb lighting up(usually 4), plus the automatic transmission is not responsive at all. So if possible, i highly recommend it to install VS with 5 grounding kits. We got a few persona owner who installed the VS+5 grounding kits, makes a lot of difference for the smoothness, not to mention it improved the fc as well.
*
Persona_r3: they r many ppl have their thumbs up for the VS and many still think it is a waste of money. it is up to you to decide. who knows that you are those owners in the 50% category which have defects on the wiring? if you got the extra money, go try it... let us know the result when you install in... thankx

wow! you are way too caution on this... if the belt do break within 80k, you are entitle to the warranty, am i right? so, why you want to spend money on this? better spend to modify your car...

what do you get when you combine latest technology into proton cars?
ans: even more headache.


how can this happen? is the 32 bit ECU that complicated or is it proton don't know how to rectify it?

i really mad about it coz i had booked the M-Line auto since launching of the car...

good thing i paid RM100 for the booking fee... i'm thinking of getting Mazda 2 now...

I will getting my Chiffon Green M-Line AT next week as the SA called me today... finally~
sign all the bank document and paid the down payment...
i asked him why it took so long to deliver, he say that the car will vibrate when it reaches 80km/h and above... proton's SC change one of the item in the engine and change settings in the key code as well. The SC even go to the those pusat jualan proton to change the test drive cars...
after changing the "thing" in the engine part... the test drive car has a bit more power claim the SA.


Added on April 27, 2010, 9:37 pmthis is a reminder to those who plan to get a car this year.
the bank executive who attended my car loan says that there will be another increase in the interest rate on the 15th May 2010, the interest for 5 years will be at 4%... all banks are going for it... don't know whether true or not, so better choose a your dream car and apply for the bank loan...

nice...just found out by using esso ron95 (compared to my usual shell ron95) my persona performs better...i mean the pickup is better, acceleration feels lighter and my engine sound is lower...stepping on the accelerator while overtaking normally make my engine roar, but with this petrol it didn't...considering to try bhp later to see if there's any difference...
*
i think this is a good discussion to share around... my work require me to be on the road most of the time and i had been trying a few petrol brand lately. But i found out that what aremrz is telling is true... shell is not so powerful and not so economical as well... normally i will go for petronas, coz if you use petronas credit card, you will get 5X point on each ringgit you spend and Mesra Points too!

Haven't been to Camerons in a long time. But I'm guessing it's steeper than Genting.

Drove my first gen Persona all the way up to the top of Genting before. 5 people in a car, proudest moment is when some Nissan Sentra (I think the newest one, the one in NFS Underground 2) tried to race with me and failed tongue.gif and that car only 2 people.

No stress to the engine, temperature didn't go up or any side effects. Except when going down, scary...

reminds me of my friends savvy... going up new highway to cameran - lost to kelisa with no give face...
when going down hill through the old small roads - the car stick to the road like mad! feels like driving a rally car!!

my friend who has a persona version before elegance found out that her FC was very high, even after 5k service still the same... on her 8k trip meter, she when to the SC and complain + nag, the SC give her a tune on the ECU for FREE...

if you say RM80 for that tuning... i don't think it worth that much... why? coz it is like plug in your thumb drive in to your PC then format, then install data inside your thumb drive and unplug the thumb drive... its that easy...

is it? do i need to go to SC immediately? or i could just want for my 1k service?
the left front wheel too have sound when doing hard cornering on the uneven road... i suppose is the ori valve?

i like the new Head Unit... it don't have the problem faced by the last persona... proton really look into this problems... good!
