rough estimation of persona here:
http://www.fuelly.com/car/proton/persona

protons are famous for high FC...

lol fc question again...

ok like dis la...my car heavily modified with hi compression pistons gearbox with ratio etc BUT WITHOUT a proper engine manacement...just stock ECU(i believe with proper management the fuel could be saved even more)...i fill in petrol rm70 my maximum distance travel in km is roughly about 300km-350km...that is highway travelling with average speed around 150-170km/h and rpm maintain around 5000 - 6000...of course 10-20% city driving...driving style is quite aggressive when there's a car in front i follow their speed when the road is clear full throttle until 160 sometime drop to 4th gear and redline at 6700 and then shift to 5th gear...

IF let say i maintain a good driving behavior my mileage travel could go up until 400-420km max for RM70 fuel...

standard modified car full tank can go max to 500km...few friends able to clock this mileage...

so senang cerita drive laju2 of course la minyak kuat...drive slow confirm save...by slow i don't mean drive like aunty la drive within the ideal rpm range then should be ok at least for me and my fellow friends la

i guess, its time to get a proper engine management to complement the ecu then ?


i drive slightly slower than this fella, i also drive an auto car. on average , i get between 320 to 350km on 50 bucks. i keep my rpm between 3 to 4 . rarely redline. rarely go more than 4.5 , at 4, my car speed already hitting between 130-140 , which is enough for me. my car is gen 2 year 2005, so campro kosong, no added flavour.

gen2 fc shuld be ok for me,im driving persona,but if u always doing 0-40km start stop,better dun get gen2/persona.
y?becoz it's not the engine drink fuel,but the car is quite heavy compare to vios/city,1220k(gen2) vs 1050kg(vios,city)
but in return,i can say persona is a very tough car,not milo tin anymore

but if u always doing 60km/h-110km/h persona/gen2 fc is very not bad,1L can go around 12km,cause the car inertia built up d

no money...now everyday travel long distance seremban - glenmarie where got extra money...that's why never pushed the engine to maximum (gear 5 speed limit to 160...170 sometime oni) if i go crazy and pushed to max i scare later need more money for maintenance la ngeeehhheeeehhheeeee

gen2 owners dont really rely on that reading...that reading is just an estimation of ur overall driving style and not accurate...to really check the fc fill petrol full tank and drive for about 300km or until ur tank almost empty and fill it with petrol full tank again...then only calculate the total mileage vs the rm you refill...

Dear TS, my gen2, RM65 = 450km.

TQ

oh, how about the car itself, do it have any problem we need to take in mind ?

fuel consumption could be more in the standard campro than the cps. for my manual cps, i used to get 7.1L/100km. after upgrading to the r3 exhaust and a few other go-faster bits, my fc is now at 7.2L/100km.

not sure about older versions but my 1 and half year old car has absolutely no problems at all. mileage is at about 18,000km now.

i m driving a 08 gen 2 cps manual.my meter show 6.4L\100km.fc is not an issue if u drive manual.if u concern bout fc get a manual 1.auto i suppose to be petrol sucker

FC is slightly above average for a 1.6 litre car
if compare to vios and city, gen2 fc sure lose kaw kaw

Handling is superb thanks to the rear multilink

If can go for newer batch like 07' or 08'

my auto cps - meter = 7.2km/100km

manual fc should be ok. if possible avoid auto. campro+auto=not a good combination.

buy preve' la dey...

TS now u're using what car? if viva then for sure u'll feel the fc as terrible.
if kia spectra then u'll see gen 2 has better fc.

It should be the other way around. Cps engine is honestly the product from crap company such as proton. I own proton gen 2 cps and i must say that was a good car minus all the the problems. But the engine is powerful enough and driving on highway really feels great.

Cps is actually a complete version of campro. You can see how this engine being tune crazily by r3 and they put it in satria neo.

Anyway for fuel consumption as other people above suggest, drive within moderate rpm and it should be good. If u must take proton then get proton gen 2 cps. But u need to face all the problems.

hmm, do you mind to mention what are the famous problem? does it always require a LOT of times and MONEY ?

so far my gen2 cps no problems.. except for some interior noise.. i also love the cps power..
other common problem mayb parts "kong" faster than others.. nt sure la.. my 2010 cps engine mounting abt to kong already..
