no offence but i think the current Persona SE is better than the facelift.Much more better if paired with the new rear light.

i asked Proton SC about the rear boot lid cover / carpet... and gathered that it cost RM200 for it??? WTH..... Need to order for it.


Got one new issue now. Current mileage 9800KM.

- My cabin light dun work anymore. The bulb is still good... dunno why it stopped working. Sigh.

-My brake pedal while braking have a little vibe to it while braking. And when high speed braking, pedal vibes and so does the steering a bit.

WTH man...... whts wrong

Actually I saw my friend modify his side mirror, and he put up a light on it, just like the new facelift mirror, he told me just cost less than 200 plus paint it. But 1 thing I am not so ok with that side mirror is the shape is square look, and I prefer the current design looks more sporty. The new rims really not nice, don't know how to explain it

For me, if they can improve the low rpm with low fc that will be great.

just replaced my front brake pads to Trestor Advantage (Blue) pads. Had great experiences with this pads in my previous cars. So hopefully after fully bedded in.... everything will be nice. Kinda sick with stock Bosch pads.

Honestly, in my years of driving in different cars that i owned before... i never once had any good experience with Bosch pads. It is one of the lousiest pads out there.

Had good experiences with TRON ceramic metallic pads, Bendix Metal King Titanium, Trestor 2 star and Trestor Advantage.

i thought warranty for brake system will void if we not using the bosch that set by proton?

correct me if i wrong.. thinking to change it also.. those black powder really make the rim ugly.....

hi guys, can we install the auto timer ( i mean for cool off timer) in our persona?
normally i wait for few seconds waiting for my compressor fan to stop first or cool down the engine, before i turn off the engine..
so can we install that thing?

nope, it wont void since the brake pad consider wear and tear parts, which means wear and tears parts are not cover by warranty. im going to change mine soon once i going back to sc to collect my car, hopefully they will solve the rear brake drum kliking sound.

Screw the warranty. Been going back and forth to adjust the brakes for several times already. I am gonna go to my usual outside workshop to check and fix the rear ticking drum brakes when it comes back. I believe it will be coming back soon enough.

Note: If ur worried about those black brake dust... then dun follow me using Trestor Advantage pads. Cuz the brake dust is equally as much as original Bosch pads. I went for it because i want better braking performance.

The mech at the SC told me its a design fault and nothing they could do about it other than to grease the contact part of the backing plate and the drum brake pads. And i think that grease is starting to make my brakes judder..... WTF.

i smell lots of jealousy here.....facelift definately better, all the problems in the old Persona are rectify in this facelift before the replacement in 2012 and Persona CPS 2011.

r u sure ?u oredi own the facelift ?or do u even test drive with it ?

my stock brake pad burn out after a round from genting... wtf?! so lousy~ many senior said dat original from proton cost bout rm300++.. no point changing it as i've ask the sc dat no warranty for wear n tear parts~ they also said better go for others and they recommend me dunno wat brand 1 star/2 star.. cost around rm100.. but den everythg is up to u or u can confirm with ur sc.. anythg lets us knw k?

haha.. i not changing lah.. i just want to know changing other break pad isnt will void warranty or not only..

but so far, i dun have any problem with my break. and i feel that the break are makan loh.. maybe 4 wheel discbreak and abs ba...

only hate the dust only... proton should match with black colour alloy rim instead of silver colour alloy rim.. then wont so noticeable..

but do be told that the ori break pad useless one.. got some owner urge me change it to other. as it will make disc breake surface not rata woh..

yup... some say but depends on ourself oso lar... well.. u can pura pura said ur brake got problem den ask them to check 4u lar... den c if d brake pad is still gd onot?

Nah... actually the auto timer is meant for turbo-charged engine only as the turbo needs to be cool off properly before shutting down the engine. Whereas normal NA cars like campro, doesn't need a timer. Unless u feel like wasting a few milliliters of your petrol and looks cool

then buy the b-line tyre

bro, how much the Trestor Advantage cost you ya? Plan to use it also la next time.
by the way, how much is your mileage while u changed your brake pad...really can't tahan with the dust from the stock brake pad..

nah... jz ignore him... no such thg to jealous lar...

hey guys,
any service center to recommend around/near by puchong?
I need claim both of my front break disc and break tak makan
