if me....i prefer to test drive their car...so i can whack the daylights out of it like i usually do. hahhaha... that is what i call....test drive!

yea i hate Proton to the max because of their shitty car designs in the past and out of this world crappy shit QC. but end of the day i drive one. i also dunno why. but i think it all boils down to budget. and furthermore, Persona is one of the best budget car with good QC and build in this segment. for a car this size, this good QC and build....for this price.. aduh... what more to ask. after all, Proton woke up and came out with the Persona with much better QC if compared to its past models to save its ass from being fried to hell.... So far its been pretty good.... so what the heck right?

to me... its a poor man's sedan.  yawn.gif

if i have enough budget i would drive either a Camry or a used BMW in the first place. but too bad.... i dun  cry.gif
*
yea. perhaps proton make more improvements. wanna driver 407 no money..hahaha..later eat maggi + plain water..haha
wanna see the new QC as the new waja coming out icon_idea.gif

Max speed stated on meter always overrated la.
For those who remembered i complain about a squeak at the rear suspension... I finally narrowed down (DIY) to what is causing it. It is because of the Polyurethane Bump stop squeaking during natural movement of the absorber. I have squirted a bit of Silicone Lubricant spray at the top of it. Squeak is now gone. Case close.  thumbup.gif

All you need to do is to jack up the butt, access to the shock absorber dust boot, pry it off its seat, pull it down to reveal the Polyurethane Bump stop. Then squirt some silicone lubricant spray at the top of the bump stop (inside). Plug back the dust boot to its seat and lower the car down.... all done  smile.gif .

I highly suggest silicone lubricant gels OR spray rather than the usual WD40. Why? Silicone based lubricants does not deteriorate rubber bushes. And it is more slippery and longer lasting (can see that its still wet after few days).

For those who do not know what does Polyurethane Bump stop looks like....refer below. Note: It comes as stock in most cars. Some are this type as photo and some are rubber types or more less similar designs.

tq for diy info bro.
im also noticed some this squeak sound but dint bother though tongue.gif
but how about 'tak' sound while over the bump.?

feel no mood going to SC. better waiting for next month 35k service....wanna ask about 'klek' 'klek' rattling sound in my front right door. better they give good answers coz last time prob. about my vibrating brake they advice to do balancing but actually the fault is brake pad itself- burnt off already shakehead.gif
