Reban 1Malaysia 50sen only. 
Belum sembelih mah.

You set RM1 and you expect got quality? 

let's talk about a higher segment.
considering the Altis, Elantra, Lancer, Cerato, Civic, Focus Sedan.
All have their own good and bad. thinking which to choose. basically all are better since it is an upgrade after persona lol.

I learn something new everyday

not interested in inspira coz dun wanna spend time in SC. sylphy is a really good choice except for its look. jetta is on that segment but not on my budget. zoidberg is what car?
well, previously really like hatch for its look. however the hatchback is not practical for me as I need boot. Comfort is good as it is going to be family car. What i heard is the torque from the focus is good compared to others.

The car I am choosing in between have their own good and bad I am considering on:

Toyota Corolla Altis 1.8:
Pros:
-Good fc and reliability and comfort.
-Somehow the looks is ok

Cons:
-1.8 doent have all the specs that is offered in 2.0 which I want to have
-If really want a 2.0, will not choose the altis

Hyundai Elantra:
Pros:
-Really like the looks

Cons:
-Reliability of Hyundai
-Resale( dun really care)

Mitsubishi Lancer
Pros:
-2.0 Mivec is good
-18" wheels with multilink suspension is perfect
-The looks is still attractive and handsome after so many years.

Cons:
-Seems to be quite bad in fc based on owner review and online data
-The age for the model is quite old, no major update had been done till now

Honda Civic:
Pros:
-Reliability and fc and comfort lvl is high enough
-Multilink suspension
-Can look good with bodykit

Cons:
-No more honda vtec feel of power
-Very bad spec sheet when compared to other cars

Kia Cerato
Pros:
-equipped with tons of gadgets and specs
-look cool but not my style

Cons:
-reliabilty of Kia
-service center problem
-1.6 not enough omph in power if 2.0 dun feel like getting cerato.
-fc so so
Ford Focus Sedan
Pros:
-Filled with all kinds of features
-Powerful than others
-feels premium a bit

Cons:
-Heard that warranty parts need too long of waiting time
-doesnt feel cool enough
-fc not that low. only slightly ok

Nissan slyphy
Pros:
-reliability, fc, and comfort is good
-quite well equpped
-fc spec sheet looks good

Cons:
-Looks are a bit on uncle side
-doesnt feel new enough

IMHO only Sylphy and the Focus is worth their price. Cerato will be a distant third for me (forget about the 1.6). By comparison, others are just not enough bang for buck if compared to these three cars. Ford parts waiting period are not as bad as they say, at least in my personal experience (Perodua was even worse).

If you're willing to top up your budget north of RM130k, Mazda3 CBU looks pretty good as well.

hmm, mazda 3 cbu. looks good but the spec not good. hmm, quite true that most car are not worth its price.
dunno leh. personally think it still look uncle. wow, really same price wor. spec quite good. how come that day hear at radio is Rm160k. hmm, maybe hear wrongly. but then again, is the DSG reliable? yes. it is to consider as long term car. the jetta does have a very good spec.

That one looks good, too bad in Malaysia we get the unker grille 

i own an inspaliah and i agree with you, shit proton produce shit car. good for nothing, everyday stuck in SC, problem can never fix, and in the end say it's their law reject to fix. f***ing proton       

but yes i echo with dares
from your list, ONLY the syphy/focus are worth it. and of course can consider jetta which is priced @ 130k
DSG is a hit or miss, if it works fine, it'll be one hella fun family car. if it doesn't, just spend time in VW workshop, i heard they got free milo there.
if you're OK with DSG, then it's between focus and jetta, no other choice. (do take note focus also on DCT just like VW jetta, cept ford has a better reputation on their reliability/SC/warranty)

in fact, being in malaysia, lancer is not a car to ever consider at all. buying lancer when inspaliah (regardless how paliah it is) is just retarded. anything a lancer can have an inspaliah can have it at a FRACTION of price. and what inspaliah can have, even an original lancer in malaysia doesn't have.

look at this http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com.my/#/car/lancer_2.0gte
until now DIE DIE also dun wan to fit ASC on it, if you want that you need to buy the sportback that's 15k more.
understandably, the ASC system brand new is ~10k for all the parts but in malaysia, half cut for a year 2006 car is easy to obtain, hence that system is only ~2-4k depending on how good you are at hunting parts/installer installing etc.

I gonna go hiding somewhere....

btw when ppl read that post, they don't know I terlalu makan jiken till pening..

Up to now, I still don't why I put the word gear ratio there.....I know it got nothing to do with gear ratio (nothing can change that), but why why why....

4wd ver Ok,  however x overs aren't exactly sporty vehicles due to their inherited height

So to me : NOPE.

Lai lai siapa mau Sifu mia filter? He also want the air filter box if anyone want to let go. 

Not reduce downforce ke since it allows air through more easily

Decided to drop by to this thread and say Hi!

Not too sure if you guys still remember me though ?  

LOL

Met you guys at a tt at wangsa maju/sri rampai's Pappa Rich at in 2011 i guess.

Anyway, whats up with you guys ? Been ages since I've visited this thread.

good lubricant for persona? why?
where can find it... wanna change eo next week..

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?

Guys, everything I've been reading seems to indicate that Persona is a good car with minimal problems. In your experience, is this true ?

My absorber leaking..beside changing to new one..are there any other solutions

Macam tu tarak masuk ini thread lor. Owai.......

LOL dig back till so old post
I would recommend Philips Xtremevision over Osram Nightbreaker Plus, Osram does not seems to last as long as philips although its cheaper by a few bucks.
i have screenshot   
lol thats just a concept which they probably used for the Preve design.
Impossible they want to resurrect the Persona name when ady got Preve.

how much to replace valve cover gasket ?

Hi Sifus I have had my Persona for almost 1 year plus now. Recently my persona fc is very bad. Getting about 9.3L/ 100km. Is that normal or just me being paranoid??
