I scraped a bit of the underside of my car on a bumpy road just now, while going at about 90 km/h. It scraped at the engine, center area. The gearbox and oil pan is safe, as I did not detect any damage or leaks. In fact, I did not detect any damage at all, although I did clearly hear the scraping sound for a split second. Should I be worried? My uncle, a petrolhead said that as long as no leaks from the gearbox and oil sump, I should not be worried.

try to check the metal that located at the center of the engine (from below). It should be in black color and connected from front till the back. It might scrapped there or it was only your front bumper that scrapped with the road?

or the area right after the front tyres?

I've checked the black metal, seems no scratches. Bumper is okay, as from the sound, I'm quite sure it scraped at the bottom. I think maybe the underbody or the exhaust line got scraped. I guess not much to worry about eh? Haih, the road condition that we Malaysians have to put up with everyday. sad.gif

National car maker sucks big time because abs is not included in basic spec model, nearly knock down a motorcyclist today afternoon while raining.

The biker brake too hard when he saw a big pool of muddy water...Obviously, i am careless too because didn't realize the front road was flood abit..about 15cm deep of muddy water along 30metres road...

I just brake..too hard, brakes is wet...tyre is cold, does not grip at low temperature..car just skid to the front..I just pray, pray, pray hard..1.2..3... wink.gif less than a feet my front bumper almost knock the biker down..*sweat* *sweat*.. sweat.gif

IF ABS is kicking in..it should have avoid the incident...for any potential buyer..just go for H-LINE...avoid the basic spec at all cost.

Please speak for yourself and do not simply bash the car. Many visitor to this thread has too high expectations of the Persona without realising that it is a sub RM60K car which Proton has tried its best to make affordable to all (by offering the different variants) Don't expect the Persona to perform like a RM100K car. For its size & specs., it is still the cheapest around. Why advise some one to buy a higher spec. model if it is beyond their budget? All the technology in the world will not safe a driver with poor driving habits.

Yea i do hv to agree. It's actually pretty darn good for its price already even though its still damn overpriced thanks to our government super high tax.

See the old batch Persona IAFM still on sale (non elegance model). I guess cannot clear stock. I wonder what will happen to it? All sent for upgrade or sell much cheaper with discount?

See how tonggek the Persona's butt!

There's an interesting article in newspaper a couple months back. Topic highglight national car makers shall included abs, standardized for all models.

Do remember, even the cheapest VIOS J does equip with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) & Brake Assist (BA).
I am just speaking the truth. Ever wonder Gen2 1.3 standard is fitted with 4 disc brake? However PerSona B and MLine with drum brake, the master brake pump is smaller too compare to compare to Gen2. That's not funny nor joking..

Human is not pefect, human nature tell me that we made mistake..same thing, driving error.

Proton has tried its best to make affordable to all (by offering the different variants). Yes, agree, but the basic feature should not taken Out just to save little bit of money...

I will never ever forget the night when i was ALMOST involved in a high speed crash along a straight wet road during heavy rain middle of the night. It happened to me few years ago when i drove my Civic with no technological stuffs like ABS. Misjudged the upcoming traffic slowing down while driving at 100kmh. Hit the brakes to slow down..... damn getting to near... hit it harder and it immediately skidded straight on fast approaching another newer generation civic. At the time the speed was estimated to be about 90kmh. My ABS equipped right leg ( laugh.gif ) pumping away to gather further front grip..It managed to slow down more but still not enough. It happened soo fast that in that split second in order to possibly crash out...., my corner of my eyes looked left at the side mirror to spot if there is any headlamp resembling a car at my side. Let go brakes, swerve left, brake again....missing the front car rear bumper by mere inches....phewwwwww!!!!! Lucky my rear didnt "buang" as a result if got sure masuk monsoon drain at the left portion of the road.

That was the most intense moment of my life. Reliving past a possible fatal accident. True story.

I bet you did not keep your distance. That's the problem with drivers nowadays. Driving too close to the car in front & driving with worn out tires. Someone here is comparing an RM72K 1.5cc Toyota Vios J spec. with an RM50K plus 1.6cc Persona. Totally way out of line.
