Hope wont toooooo expensive lah! if expensive NEED good quality!

I'm owning one. What I can tell its a good car even with the base line model way better than the highest specs of saga.

hi,

my fern own, is a good car when compare with same range of vehicles..

Persona R "TUAH" look like Kia Forte design...????? Adik beradik?

when is tuah coming out?

my recommendation is get the H-line

I'd rather get a Saga FLX 1.6 or Persona High Spec than waiting for the new Proton platform, as the technologies for the above two cars are proven and tested on the roads, and many of the issues already ironed out.

If you get 1st batch of a new car model, there's going to be more issues to fix, as you're going to be the guinea pig testing out the car before the manufacturer addresses the problem by issuing recalls / face-lifts.

not sure quality or not but the price you're gonna pay is paying for the feature of the car

1st batch is the best batch in terms of QC
problem sure got a few but nothing cannot be resolve by claiming warranty...later batch also same
compared to facelift..of course less feature
but QC is better in 1st batch of every new model...meaning drive few years also won't have things start vibrating or etc
becuz from business perspectives.....the 1st batch are the most expensive...cuz later batch, they'll start to cut cost or use localized parts to minimize cost and maximize profit

i a bit agree Mr alien! some time 1st batch of every new model expsecial for proton car, QC control around 85%. Need to good freeback frm consumer..... later batch maybe consider cost...minimize there maximize here..CUT CUT cost!...than QC will lose.........:-( that y proton car like that?

Should be ask DR. M. Why proton will be like that???

Just go to malaysia kini to write to him.

not just proton...any other "profit oriented" company would practice this as well
just that cuz later batch...most will be installed using machine already...thats why they can't really check those very deep part if theres anything wrong
u can see them putting a round stickers on the parts that they check...when u get your car..u'll notice
but those are only the surface part...very inside part...hard to check

9l/km....that means 1 full tank can drive less than 10km??? LOL.

Added on January 5, 2012, 5:38 pmi think what you've uttered is pure nonsense....all batches has lemon...but buying 1st batch will always be guinea pig....with the new Proton Tuah...even worst....first time CFE+CVT+new car design....sure guinea pig with many issues (than say slapping an iAFM into a Campro on the Persona)....it's a given.

Yah, agree, that fella talking nonsense. Maybe it only applies for Inspira 1st batch because they imported from Japan, and rebadged locally, but for locally developed Proton models, buying later batches (even the last batch) would be a better option. You'll get all the kinks ironed out, special discounts & offers, as the dealer will be trying to clear stock.

If you buy a brand spanking new model, habuk also takde, you pay full price buddy...

Look like a bit underpower for heavy weight body.

Pump 35litre only Runs 289KMs/23 cent per Km on ron95.

Really is suck fuel loh. Sound like 3-4 days have to go petrol station

Just a bit worst for FC.

if u dn't believe thn nvm...u can ask some 1st batch persona for some reviews
problem of parts sure have(mean lemon) but nothing cannot be solve by warranty
but QC is way better in 1st batch compared to later batch
i'm speaking as i own a 1st batch saga blm...mean "1st batch new model"...not facelift
theres only 1 batch only which is when they launch a brand new model...that particular 1st batch only
i speak here as well cuz i driven and follow the forum for so long...i notice i have less problem compared to later batch
dn't have leaking steering oil.....vibration here and there...no..none of those..mine is 4 years old BTW this year
but if u dn't believe..its your choice

Can anyone b really sure that they've checked those parts b4 they stuck those stickers?
Fr wat I kno, QC ppl got target 2meet! If too many faults & need to remedy, etc, it slows down assembly process.

Moreover, staff concerned in fitting/assembly wld hv "marked" as not performing, etc! That staff wld go after the QC guy for uknowat...haha!
See?

I kno of QC ppl in factories who lost their jobs when the assembly line staff "ganged up" against him for affecting their livelihood!!

So...?

Purchasers hv 2keep fingers Xed that the unit they're given was NOT one of those...???

You drive Persona??? That's 8.xx km/l....same as my Inspira 2.0 in 100% city drive wor...betul ker??

maybe thats the difference between 4AT and CVT
CVT in saga improves in FC as well...improve quiet alot

it's 9l/100km or 11.xxkm/l,typo n u believe 9l/km!?

Hmm Mine's Persona SE. Getting 350km for 35L which roughly 10L/100km for pure city driving.
Mix highway/city can easily get 470km.

But so far, aside from so so FC, the car is great. No rattling nor power windows issue.
Just that the acceleration on the slow side, but it's meant for comfort anyway.
