ASX not nice Try Tiguan. or maybe at least HR-V V specs.

HRV =)

Originally I wanna bai ARIS sedan, then once I beli VIOS Hejbek. Skang tiba² SAX la, Tiruan la, HIV macam²

My car had alignment problem. Which is no matter how many times I do alignment, the steering won't center when I go on a straight and level road. I've learnt to live with it and gave up. Today I changed my engine mountings as the vibration is getting stronger every day (My car is 6 years old) To my surprise, the alignment became fine after that. I guess the mountings were in such a bad condition that it affected alignment as well. Just wanna share this here to those of you having this problem

Anyone bulking car aircon filter? Fubar20

I've similar problems as yours. But mine is absorber mounting causing the problems.

What's the mileage of your car? Is it expensive to change the engine mounting?

thinking to swap my persona sport rim to original rim size 195/60/15, anyone?

Aftermarket Schmaco Mountings - RM2xx. Labour - RM80 ~ RM120. If you have jacks, jack stands and all you can save quite a bit because the job is actually quite easy.

Edit: I was last quoted around RM4xx for original Proton mountings. They say that it has more rubber content, and should last longer. Mine is still considered to be mostly in a good condition.

157000 kms. The cost is more or less like mentioned by bro TDUEnthusiast here. If u see vibrations everywhere, chances are ur mountings gone case dy. In my case, steering wheel, rear view mirror and side mirrors all vibrated

before actually testing persona on highway drive, I imagine that the car itself will be quite stable even though exceed 140km/hr, but just so dissappointed, the car will shaky and unstable after starting 140km/hr, or just mine? btw mine is persona sv, bought last year

Many factor will affect the car's stability. On stock form, usually most local crap Plotong only balance up to 110kph, which is the highest legal speed limit. Given the rubbish Cibaistone tayar, if you balance it properly, yes you can still enjoy smooth sail over 180kph(I didn't mention you can brake on time or save you from swaying away).

Come on bro, let's face the truth. You're paying SUPER VALUE for a SOHEM VALUABLE Plotong car. In these price range, Persona is 1 of the best handling car you can find. May I know which car were you comparing the stability of above 140kph? Handling is very personal feelings, I don't know how to read your justification. For some sohem like myself who used to ride a Ganjil 660 at 120kph(I guess that's the top speed it will go), Persona is God like kinda stability despite tayar bunga habish

i understand for the car is definitely best bang, i bought it with discount 5%, so sv auto around rm43k...
but other than stability, there are actually quite many noises despite it was newly bought last year

the problem once I first drove my car starting from 0km, gearbox mounting spoiled (i was like wow fantastic baby), nvm got it fixed with warranty, no need to pay anything, but then again anotehr problem, the wiper link assy didn't screw up tight, two wipers hit up together, one of my wiper arm terus bengkok d, lazy of going sc, i fixed it myself after that nvm, and then again some sort of stupid ticking sound came out from my dash board there, still wondering what kind of sound was that, really fxxking annoying....nvm, not a big problem though, but what will a normal people think when they first bought a new car (no ppl ever used it) with this lots of problems...

what i can said is, definitely no more potong for me, and for the tyres part, i guess because of the cheap silver batu brand might cause it to be unstable at the speed of 140km/hr or higher, one more, my tyres rims are so dusty and dirty even though just drove at city for 1 or 2 days, as my bro told me might be due to the cheap disc rotor used in sv model, perhaps

I only drive till 145-150 for now. So far so good. Not shaky at all. Got mine early this year sv too.
The last time drove frens almaera at 120 whole steering shaking. I guess high speed persona for me better. Just the plastic noise. Regarding the dust on the brake I think should be the brake pads.

do u experienced any problems like mine? like the rims easily get dusty n dirty

mingwei1992 is right. Dirty tayar is caused by rubbish berakpad. U may change to some higher metal compound berakpad, but then later the metal berakpad will grind your disc, then you komplen rubbish Plotong give rubbish disc. So, doesn't matter lar since you hate Plotong already, it doesn't serve any purpose already. U may carry this piece of junk for awhile, probably until you have enough money then buy a VIOS. I bet that will carry you to an entirely new region of satisfucktion. Don't get me wrong, I hate Plotong as much as you do, it's just that I got no choice but to stuck with them. They got the worst resell value car, cheapest made material, and worst finishing that even harsh to compare with China made rubbish truck. It's just that, it's still cheaper then a China car. Part wise? I don't think Plotong is that bad. However, the money you paid for, is seriously lack of AFTER SALES SERVICE and ULTRA BAD FINAL PRODUCT QUALITY CONTROL. So, either you patiently bear with it, try to DIY fix those minor crap bit by bit and enjoy the car instead of resenting. One day, just 1 fine day you save enough then go bai a VIOS and ditch the Crapro, come back and tell us, we'll celebrate for you

p/s: Oh btw, drive it harder, soon you'll discover the engine valve cover start to leak oil and spill all over your engine bay. It happens to all Kampro a.k.a Crapro engines regardless which model/variant.

p/s2: Oh btw of btw, there's a well known otai bought his banana 2nd day engine blow(no he's not even driving fast, the crap engine just jammed and died on him with no reason). That sohigh bear with that piece of lemon for years, spent his heart and soul on it, fix car price already more then the car value he paid for. In the end, he pushed the car over the cliff and went bought a white VIOS

Unless your rims are perfectly balanced, and/or your tyres are perfectly round, you need to do high speed balancing on the tyres so they do not shake when you go pass a certain speed.

I've done high speed balancing and I don't have any shaking problems. It does not do much or anything at all to make the car more stable though. The persona is heavy but like many other normal cars, it does not have any special design to make it stick to the road at high speeds.

A car is a tool. Not an asset. And for me not something I would use to project my image. As long as it can bring me from A to B it's fine. I am about to fully pay my Persona, and I think I will keep it for some time into the future. Or at least till I have more disposable income to change. So far in 6 years, it has never failed me. It starts fine every time. Ride is very good for the price. Aircond is excellent. And spares are abundant, with tonnes of local mechs who can service Campros.
