This is a rather interesting story to share. For your information my car is persona aeroback, so I can't use key to open boot. On the other hand, my neighbor though, do own a persona. The story began:

Last week morning, as I ready to go to work, my neighbor was standing behind his persona scratching his head. I walked over wanted to lend a helping hand in case if there's anything I can do, and found his persona boot got prai 1/2 open with a big dent at the side. Looks like someone got no key and used a crawbar to force it open. Now that he wanted to open but can't bcoz the boot is senget and the lock got stuck. He lost his laptop. Nothing much I can do but to offer him a body shop to get it fixed. Yesterday night saw his car already back to hensem look with a new trunk and new paint. He spar the bumper together as well.

This morning, saw him facepalming behind the car and looks extremely devastating. I walked over kepoh and see, the boot got praised open again!!! This time, the tail lamp was broken too!!! And, the boot was praied opened so big until I can see inside effortlessly. There was a laptop bag inside. He said, the thief came back & return his laptop! doh.gif
*
What a topkek story!! The cost of repairing twice the car boot and paint job easily cost him the laptop's price right. Approximately a 2k laptop.

i've service two times already at the damansara damai proton sc agent. but i dont believe them 100%. because both time specifically ive ask for the box and bottles. but none are given. though they talk really nice and all, but well im used to be grease-monkey with my motorcycles, so when i cant see my car getting serviced/change part, its really not that satisfying. no communication whatsoever with the foreman. they do job. u give money. the end.

and i know majority foreman lies/steals  rolleyes.gif

Totally agree with this. Not really believe in their SC. They just don't give me the confidence ya know. So once I my car has finished the warranty, straight I send it out to my trustable foreman.

I get to know a foreman which is working full time in a established workshop which services protons and Nissan cars. He do part time after working hours in his house. He is knowledgable and experienced. Previously my mom's wira experienced some problems which could not be identified by other foremans, end up he had settled the problem.

On top of that it's cheaper lol, cheap and quality workmanship.

true that. same persona sv here. no boat goyang (on highway). unless u go kampung road ofcoz automatic become boat. and same plastic noise too haha just keep deaf on that. fc aint that great as im living in the city now, but for the highway and normal road driving still considered normal fc.
*
Clearing things up here, I have driven kampung roads, felda roads, which is uneven and narrow. Stable even at speeds 110km/h on straight stretches, of course I'm using toyo nanoemergy 3 which has good nvh and its soft.

Good handling and cornering. Less body roll compared to gen2 vios for sure.

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

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

biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif  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 cool2.gif

Wow you are really unlucky, lemon unit bro. Luckily my Sv still working fine. Touch wood.

Do u guys have this screeching sound when braking? I got it since I first get my car. I think it's normal for personas. Not every time it will screech. After warm up or brake for a few times , the sound is gone.

How to solve this prob ya?

mine have 'wong wong' sound come front rear disk brake during reverse. but lately the sound lesser already. maybe because everyday rain kot?

it probably cause by the disk, I never remove the wheel to actual verify the problem yet. when you expect it to happen, it never happen, that's why difficult to check.

Mine is high pitch screeching sound, when I press the paddle, on certain pressure there will be screeching. After pressing brakes for a few times the screeching no more.

ya, bout the fc izit considered normal if for 100% highway drive, 12.3km/l, i used to pump bhp ron97, will it better if change to ron95?
*
12.3km/l is normal. Mine slightly better , around 14km/l , but then I really control my footwork.
Not sure whether ron97 will help to save petrol onot, but I don't think so la.

Plan to DIY using some leftover insulflex. Without the bootlid liner, the boot interior gets quite hot under the sun.

Does it improve NVH? I think my current tyres give me quite acceptable nvh already.

Previously I complained about screeching or squeling sound when braking at low speed just after changing my new brake pads. I google searched and found about brake bed in or conditioning method. I did this , speed up to 100kmh, press on brake pedal fully , but not until the ABS is activated, slow the car down until u get 20kmh speed, don't stop completely, speed up again until 100kmh. Repeat this 8-10 times. But make sure to do it on an empty stretch without cars. It does significantly reduced the braking squeal and high pitch screeching sound.

Yes yes. Before this quite loud. Now it become like more dull. Less sound. After few minutes driving no screeching at all.

Your persona has screeching sound too?
