actually, the smell problem i already notified before i bought the car. i went to persona test drive unit and drove near to 150kmh. then i smell something burned. like engine oil.
i thought the test drive unit probably have defect or problem.
but unfortunately, same happen in my new car. i guess its happen to all elegance model.

just wan to check with other elegance user.

have u guys smell anything burn when accelerate the elegance?

serious? how u drive? maintain below 3k rpm all the way? half tank clock 420km? r u kidding me?

My Elegance M Line MT only clocked 300KM for the 1st full tank of petrol. Sometimes I do feel that the car is lack of power and my right leg need to step hard for the car to move. Is it the clutch too high or the ECU problem or my driving skill? I do not encounter such problem driving my old Proton Iswara though.

just check my car... near 1/4 level from above and mine clock 415km...
maybe can get 450km at 1/4 level..
right now... i already travel 2012km....  blush.gif

its not lack of power..
it only that u're not familiar with drive by wire..
i also face same problem like u before..
now after 2k, i already can estimate when the gear may change with pedal control.. although still not familiar yet
but i can feel the power.. just need to know the power band
*
You are right! I am now kind of use to the clutch and pedal control, PE is a very nice car to cruise with, I would say!

My PE clock 700+km now, about 2 weeks on the road. So far no major problem, except for occasionally EEEee sound on bumpy road. Power windows are good, doors and other interior finsishing are good too! I am pretty satisfy with my new car! No regret buying it!

Just came back from my 1st 1,000 KM service @ Jln Ipoh SC. Total cost RM89.75:

Engine oil - Mach5 RM69.00
Oil Filter RM12.22
Oil drain washer RM3.33
Screen wash RM5.20

Fixed the rear boot knocking sound when driving on bumpy road, it was due to jack loose at the foldable rear seat. No more sound for the moment, hopefully the sound would not recurred.

And I have complained about the high fuel consumption. The SA said everything normal after checking. Am just wondering if is it really normal for a full tank fuel to run only 320km? I am driving M line MT 80% city, 20% highway.

I guess he must be like me, first time service car and trusted the fellow saying Persona only can use Mach 5 20w-50.
since then my car feel more heavier  mad.gif  mad.gif
lesson learnt.

haha, the SA did ask me which type of oil I would prefer and quote me the cost too. I choose the standard oil, just for the reason of saving money, doh.gif Didn't know it cause so much different, next time will use the semi-synthetic oil. smile.gif

I have tried to speed around 140km/hour yesterday with my PE , it was fun and smooth. But when I have stopped and turned off the engine, the engine ventilator fan was still running like about 45 seconds then only it was turn off by it self. Is this normal? Anyone experienced this before? That was the 1st time I encounter this after collected my car 3 weeks ago. Have done my 1000km service on Saturday.

THanks.

i think i am in the same position as u..planning to register the car by january...
since persona got alot of ready stock and the longest waiting list can go up to 1 month for b-line bronze garnet and chiffon green..

well, u can also book now, and get the car in january..just let the SA know but i find that no point..

Now don't have to wait so long. I got the car 1 week after booking, Chiffon green M line, MT. If M line AT ot Hihg Line, maybe needs to wait a bit longer.

for persona elegance, do u guys observe that, when u close all the door and take out the key without lock the alarm. in abt 30-40 seconds, the alarm will activate and lock the car itself. this is for security purpose.

Yuup, notice that too for my Elegance. Another feature that I discovered last week, there would be a beep beep beep sound when i have turned off the engine but forgot to switch off the headlights. smile.gif Once the headlight switched off, the beep sound stop.
