Our PE has a heavy body and the stock suspension plus stock tire is not made for hard cornering... I did try to whack a few corners
1. Sg Besi Airport at seremban highway turn in to NPE / kuchai lama.
2. From jln duta toll turn in to jln duta.
3. From kepong Jln kuching turn in to DUKE highway.
4. From jln istana turn in the sg besi.
5. From Kuchai using NPE to Bangsar turning.
These are a few of my favorite corners. PE is really unstable when tackling those corners compared with my friend's one version older model Toyota Altis. Even with the traction control off, the car is more predictable and easy to handle when driving hard through those corners.

PE is a small family compact car and it is best for long journey trips coz the car can cruise fast on highways and it gives you confidence to drive at high speed.

change to better tires like pp2,ps3,s-drive,or potenza, so on...with 50/55series and alignment slighter negative camber (open)...then can sapu and even more stable.....stock tires cc-1,ntc5,silverstone are meant for normal use and its 60series...

change to same size its ok ar? my stock steel rim looks very ugly and pakcik style, i'm very young and want rim that can attract a women ^^

urs is with or without IAFM?

Added on September 17, 2010, 9:33 pmbtw just some information sharing....

my bro's newly own 2nd hand Persona H line Auto 08 model non IAFM.... i noticed that the FC is stated 11 per 100km as compared to my persona 09 IAFM Auto at 7.8 per 100KM. That is a huge difference!

Are those non IAFM version really suck far more fuel than its upgraded versions?

u refer to FC meter? of coz la high..try reset it first

mine 07 auto around 8.2/100km...

To all concerned. Can we not discuss FC anymore. Persona is definitely a "gas guzzler" period - because of its sturdy build. Try to enjoy your ride & not think too much of every $ burning out of the exhaust tailpipe. There are definitely many more economical rides out there for the fuel conscious to choose from.

My advice to all those potential buyers of the Persona who are considering this car - If you cannot afford the petrol, opt for something smaller.

y want complaint about fuel, its ok for me for its cc 1.6, dont compare with viva 850cc or myvi 1.3cc.
u pay on what you got ^^,

i dont think our PE can be describe as 'gas guzzler'...
its consider within range for 1.6l car...
maybe u refer to old persona without IAFM which i cant comment here...

I normally drive outer lane, then as I turn I go into inner lane, then when exiting that bend I will go outer lane. (macam F1 lar)
So far never lost control there. Hehe

Crazy so expensive, not forgetting their more expensive petrol price

tried once with my b-line AT('08 with IAFM), plus another two guys in the car - max 180k/h... going to cameron, using NS highway. later confirm with a saman in mailbox....

I always keep to the inner lane try and see , u will know what i mean PE handling is ok just sometimes feel not right when making that corners

Added on September 18, 2010, 7:39 amYES , can't be consider as 'feel guzzler' unless u drive like there is tomorrow
my last ride (P2 kembara) is the 'drinker' guzzler more fuel even though 1.3 and lighter body .. as due to the
engine ..

mine is with IAFM....fc looks ok to me...compare to my wira 1.3...but not better than latio...

my dad persona get 7.6l / 100km.. for me thats good for a 1.6 auto b-line..

haha...FC again..
mine 2007 AT model (1st batch with full color proton logo )
own calculation, full load: 11l/100km, 1/2 persons: 8l/100km
my result may differ from other.

edit: this result for around city use.

wah..version 9 ready..

just done first service 1K my PE Baseline auto..
total cost is rm117.70.

they suggest me to use mineral oil + X1R.
rejected it use semi oil by petronas instead..
was that a good choice?


went to section 13, proton edar service..the customer service is damn slow..perhaps, many staff havent come back from raya leave..

X1R again sure they will suggest those , I rejected before the service but then when its time to pay they already pour into the engine and charge me
Semi-syn is more than enough they give u Petronas Syntium 800
Yes they are still in raya mood SVC Puchong that day I go , only 2 staff attend customer at front desk and the worker inside the service bay was chit-chatting
