Guys, I have been driving my Persona since 2008. Frankly speaking I am quite satisfied with the car that now reaching his 200K mileage. Just do and replace most of the engine parts, absorber and stuff which cost me 7K all in all. I've been thinking to spice the car a back, maybe put in some bodykit or anything to make it look interesting again. Any suggestion from the sifu's?

Afternoon boys..
Hows things.
BTW just want to double check what is the best light bulb recommendation for front light, any legal white colored ones.

I'm using Osram Nightbreaker Plus. I'm quite happy with it, but I'd be happy to have a longer range and brighter light. I'm thinking of switching to the Nightbreaker Unlimited and giving this set to either my mom or sister hmm.gif

It has been more than one day already and that thing hasn't moved. If I had a truck I'd have use it to shove that thing backwards a few feet or just tow it to somewhere else grumble.gif.

I encountered many situations where I'd probably hit the car in front if they were to suddenly brake the last few times I went out to cruise around, simply because most of them think that a space large enough for their car to enter is a valid reason to switch lanes. Being an ass I just brake as needed but lightly and stick right up behind their cars until they switch lanes again or speed up, but it also depends on whether the distance between their cars and the cars in front of them.

The stock break pads for persona darn annoying! break disc dust is the most serious  think i ever realize, having driven and sat on so many cars, i never see one which its breakdust is so darn so darn serious!

They install cheaplak stock pads on personas is it?

Lel. I think you haven't seen enough cars then. My abah's cucuki's rear brake pads produce dust like fak. Luckily the rims design is simple so cleaning them is pretty easy.

Guys, the latest Persona Executive doesn't come with electric side mirrors right? Any idea if I can install aftermarket electric ones? I dislike having to manually adjust them. Need opinion before decide on buying Persona.
*
No idea about the Exec's equipment list, but you can opt to buy the Persona Elegance electric side mirrors from Proton/spare part shop and get either Proton or a workshop/accessory shop to install for you, though if it's a new car I'd bring it back to Proton to retain the warranty.

i owned a persona SE 2009.. low mileage... 65k.. my problem is the noise 'krook...kraaak...krookk...kraaak'  from behind while driving... really annoying... i already put selotape at U iron shape at seat behind...but still got sound.. sad.gif .

also annoying sound vibration on middle..top of dashbord sad.gif

please somebody..who know how to solve... icon_question.gif
*
The sound I had from the back was the metal creaking noise that went Eekk whenever a passenger was sitting and moving on the right of the rear seats. I solved that by removing the seats (pretty easy, just that with our weather it's uncomfortable), placing newspaper and cotton at first before switching to Insulflex and sticking it around the metal parts that the seat will be lying on.

Your sound..... No idea. You could try taking off the door trims and using some sort of tape or glue or sticky stuff to hold the door trim clips in place to see if that helps. They don't all sit tight on their designated spots, so it might be them making rattling noise. Otherwise maybe it's related to your suspension system hmm.gif.

Dashboard vibration issue... laugh.gif The furthest you can check into the dash is the spot behind the radio and the middle control unit. If you wish to go further you'll need to remove the entire dashboard. It might also be the metal clips of the top cover above the middle air-vents that are rattling because they're loose. If they're the source of the noise it can be easily solved by placing thin double sided tape over each of the cover's legs before placing the clips over the legs. The middle cover can be taken off easily with your fingernails or a flat screwdriver, but make sure it's one with a big width, else you'll risk breaking/deforming the cover itself.

muslayer - I recall that you bought new air-cond vents from your spare parts shop. Is the rattling sound solved completely? I'm getting tired of the sound that's being made by the left and right air-cond vents. The new ones I bought are like a hundred times worst than the current ones. They rattle even if it's in the shut position, compared to the original vents that rattle only when in the open position.

Your car's damaged area looks too big for DIY touch up to look good, unless you're really good at it hmm.gif. I would just spend the money to fix the affected area, and maybe send the car to be detailed to reduce the difference in paint tone etc. Your car is in need of it anyway laugh.gif.

or is it probbly the paint that was not dried enough.. unsure.gif

I guess it depends on the workmanship quality of the shop you sent it to. hmm.gif And about the layers of paint for panel respraying, I have no idea actually. I only know that for full car respray it ranges from 2 to 3 layers for base and clear coat, or even just 1 layer each depending on how much you're willing to spend.

Using 18/20. Itu "shark" at center quite small also.
Rm83 when I bought it. Till now still good as new only when TDU put his PIAA and tried on my windscreen. It judders for some times. Now back to normal already. I took the normal one. Flexblade or hybrid much expensive IINM.

Yeah.. Sorry about that.

I noticed just a few weeks ago that SWV also has the Aero style blades like the PIAA blade I got. grumble.gif. Right now my PIAA blades wipe well only for the first few times and they start juddering after that. If I don't turn them on, I'd still be blind cause the water beading isn't that strong either. grumble.gif. I have to resort to manually controlling the wiper stalk once in a while even for the intermittent position.

Go sifus, I hvh a doubt here. Do u all feel that the steering of persona a bit getar compared to vios? Any reason behind that?
*
My guess is that it's because the Vios uses EPS instead of a HPS system.

Edit: And under what situation?

Oh I see, I think that's the reason.

Another thing is that vios' steering is nice to grab. Persona's steering is smaller and plasticky.
Actually not that serious. I mean the vibration is not too much. Just that vios' steering nicer to be grabbed.
*
Hmm. No idea. The middle part of the steering is not really nice, but other than that it is pretty OK, firm, and just nice in softness. But it is a little bit small in circumference for me.

First time driving  2nd gen vios for last 2 days. Surprisingly persona hv better NVH than vios at speeds above 120km/h.

Handling wasnt that bad for vios, and not like sampan also lol. Definitely enjoy driving vios haha.

If vios same price with persona would definitely go for vios. Joke.
