no. That is for Saga (but doesnt look like its launching anytime soon)

Persona R is B-seg sedan.

Once again dunno wtf Proton marketing team doing.

Same story like Axia launch last time, then only launch the Iriz when the market all went ahead to buy Axia already.

Now gonna be same thing, Bezza launched 1st and capture the market, then only launch new Saga.

Then later complain low sales bla bla bla..

no idea but yeah, this Iriz Sedan is supposed to be Persona's replacement.

So new Saga to replace flx Saga yet to be seen.

example of the issues you are afraid of?

Maybe we can help you out more. Just list down your concerns and we'll try our best to give the best advice.

cvt not really lah. you can go test drive first and see for yourself. Then see if its a really big bother to you.
As for me, i cant hear cvt sound at all. Its always the stock tyre (road noise) and engine sound I hear the most.

As for rattling, well yeah. I'd say 50/50 suffers it. As for me, I sent it to SC and they managed to make the rattling disappear (but not completely, but now very minor rattling only). Or you could diy also, but I lazy only..

Anyway, go test drive first bro. Its free. Test and see if the current NVH is good enough for you or not up to your standards. Test until you satisfied. Test the CVT also, cause its Punch CVT, unless you driven Punch CVT before, then you will need to get used to how it works. If not later you will complaint about it also.

and if after test drive you still not satisfied with it, then just wait for Bezza. or Persona R..

you insert it yourself? where you buy it from?

yes it is in our service booklet.

Diagnostic Test with Proton Diagnostic Tool - Every 20k km or upon replacement of spark plugs.


and i dont think they will charge you for that. Cause its just plug in and read the info.

i did alignment balancing at SC for 60 bucks too. and yes, 3rd party contracted people. The fella even persuading me to add camber screws
and IMO it wasnt even a good alignment balancing job.

Fooking expensive.

Was it for 2nd service/10k km service?

btw, i did alignment balancing at SC for 60 bucks too. and yes, 3rd party contracted people. The fella even persuading me to add camber screws
and IMO it wasnt even a good alignment balancing job.

Fooking expensive.

dashboard rattling yes.

fuel smell minority.


well at least most of the complaints here are only about "rattlings" not some fuxxed up gearbox or engine or 42k wire harness, etc etc.

and btw, both the concerns you mentioned are fixable at SC.

my dashboard rattling comes and goes. On smooth roads, no sound at all. But potholes all will come out the sound.

i sent to SC before, they managed to fix my a-pillars rattling and dashboard rattling as well, but after so long the dashboard rattling came back. Guess cause they didnt put extra padding or anything, just re adjust the screws or whatever..

Then, A-pillar they fixed again this time using foam materials and it no longer rattles. So my next service gonna ask the SC to do it thoroughly and fix all my rattlings once and for all.. and wanna ask them to use more foam materials.

no la haha.

I only did 2 services so far, First service which was the 1k km service and 2nd service for 10k km service. My next service for 20k km is due in November..

So i only visited SC twice, i complain during service time and they fixed it on the spot. maybe thats why the rattling came back cause not enough time to really do it properly.

I also heard if want them to do it properly have to leave car behind but idk yet. So far the rattling is still at bearable levels..

hmm during service time I saw the mechanic clean my air-filter with pressurized air
but 2nd time service there they didnt do it..

but anyway just change only la, 1 year + already. I now also can feel my pick up not as nice liao (maybe because 2nd service they didnt clean my air filter too)

same like us also la for those who get 5+2 years.

the +2 years insurance papers never came..

is because of the jerking in low speeds only..

and also its clutch-type. CVT, rpm rises first then only the speed climbs. Autobox rpm rises together with speed.
So those ppl tekan pedal, they see rpm rise but speed didnt rise so they think its a shitbox.

for the cvt 1.3 geh..

im not sure but I suggest you look for Vincent here in LYN. He gave me a very good discount when I bought mine..

but bezza 1.3 is 51k

can get 1.6 Iriz already at that price..

but again, its Punch CVT la, so you go test drive first see you ok with it or not.. Most ppl dont like punch CVT in proton..

all oils are 10k km lah. Got read service manual or not one?

Call up Proton WeCare yourself if you not sure. We have repeated many times, even got email confirmation from Proton that whatever oil you use its still 10k km.

Heck, even black and white written in our service manual it is TEN THOUSAND KILOMETERS.

and if you even bother checking your Service Invoice/Receipt, it will tell you the next due date for your service and it always states 6 months and the next 10k km from your current KM.

It is in their own system database already, and cannot be changed,

So doesnt matter what the service advisor, your mother, your father, your neighbour, your mechanic bestfriend or even your service reminder info on the meter panel tells you.

But of course with that said, if you wanna service it every 5k km nobody's stopping you.

For CVT Iriz owners.

no worries. It really is 10k km for whatever oil you use. It's warranted for 10k km.

Also, if you are worried just call up proton wecare or email them.

because you are spreading nonsense.

We are trying to help people on their inquiries, not further confuse them.

Since you're the one with the bullets claiming this and that, then show me

Which part of it says warranty will be affected if you use MINERAL EO and service it at 10k.

Go on, show it to me and everyone else here.

and on the bolded part, are you trying to say not everything in our service manual (which is made by the engineers who made our cars) is true? So you are better than the engineers then?

Okay now I get it.
