It is photochopped

Ur ride?

and the tire is undersized to....

I think for this car in 17" the best tyre size is 205/45 R17

Premium variant.

True also.

Anyways, I also asked the SA on the bodykit but I am not sure is mine available because in brochure said that it is optional for premium variant. But my SA said that it is limited edition? So I am now confused regarding this.

Received the car 2nd Sept. Book 1st 1K service on 11th Sept. at COSE
Bought premium edition except the optional sport skirting which affected the order duration.
Come wiith umbrella, steering lock , TNG and full tank fuel and YES for 1 year 2gb permonth. And free service 60K or 3 years. Warranty come 5.


Each feature are working.
1.HA, doest throw the car back while on slope.
2. Keyless. No issue. even if you go to the back of the car. It beep since unable to detect the transponder key.
3. Follow me home light. If you UNLOCK the car. Break light and front light will bright. While locking the car. the follow me dont work except press lock for second time.
4. Side mirror wind in. Park car and it auto windup.
5. ESC. ( try on sandy road at the parking lock. The backed tyre kick start breaking and the steering adjust itself to compensate the swing. ) still scary. So good luck making it drift.
6. ABS. working but bit noisy. like hammering the break pad. tested it this morning while raining and going down the hill. At bukit permai. and it is controllable .
7.Touch screen. GPS working but not as details as Garmin Nuvi. Radio OK. internet is working.
8. engine. Car still running in ( wait after 1K service this coming Sunday) Max speed is 80kmj.
9. Reverse camera. Clear day or night. Able to park car with 2 inche clearance at the back. Front sensor parking is working. But not those able to budget the clerance. Wont used this much. You know when it's near.
10. Power windows safety worked for accidently put your finger at the glass .tested last night after the tinted is not allowing winding up power window for 4 days.
11. Centrelize locking button at below the touch screen panel. Suitable for those with kids.
12. key less. 2 setting. suitable for women driver. Setting it with pressing both lock and unlock keyless. So 1st unlock for driver door and second unlock for the rest of the door.
13. Leather seats in comfortable for long driving. Longest drive are from Pandan to KLIA 2. Even driving less 80km/j. (car running in)
14. Get the floor carpet change. used the water resistant and sand contain. Carpet just dont fir when you keep stepping on grass or gravel.
15. Autolight is good. it adjust based on the light. And front light can tilt up or down as long you dont cause other driver angry


Personal view of the car. Front and back look good. Even looked better after removing the emblem Persona and VVT. It look more slick and bold.(everyone know it's Persona and the emblem does not fit the purpose)(for me)
Quiteness..driving 80kmj is good enough. waiting until finnish the running in. will try 110 to 120kmj.
CVT.- wait till the running in is over

overall. The car weight feel solid. Probably heavy. Since i'm living at Bukit permai, experience hill climbing everyday. Doesn't feel underpower. Price wise.. it's does provide necessary safety feature with 6 airbag and ESC., brake assist and ABS. Not sure got EBD.
Migrated from Myvi 1.3 (A) 2014 does feel different especially making cornering. Persona more stable even the high clearance.
Petrol. Well my company provide Shell card so i'm pumping RON 97 without calculate the milage. Metering are showing 8.4L per 100km. not sure economy.

I do test drive Bezza. Not doing comparison but I wont regret, as Persona is a clear cut . For city (sister driving 2016 Jan) of course feel much better than Persona. But 30K different will justified me to spend on other thing like home electrical and etc.

Well said, I have to conclude this. Do test drive and feel the comfort. depends on your budget and practically of the car. I needed bigger bonnet so i could fit in 2 folding bike without any issue. Having 2 kids is sufficient on persona but more Ertiga might do better. If you need fast car. Persona are not meant for race but safety taken in place when you have children which prefer comfort.

I will end this personal view. And thank you for reading.

if we fit in 16" rim for this persona, ok or not?

Bodykit suppose to be limited to 200 unit, not sure myself. ADD RM 1k for body kit. Still waiting to hear from my SA.

Better push your SA and call PROTON we care for your car.

Proton did not anticipate premium version to be popular hence the waiting game. If you change to lower variant, I bet they will deliver your car tomorrow...

Thanks for detail review...Good to hear from the owner itself...

Many owners already gotten their car, so jeles la wei.

What shld i tell to Proton careline?

Ask and push them to Tell you the true story why you are not getting your car.

One my opinion. Getting the car from Proton HQ such at COSE and Shamelin are faster then the branch. Even the SA admit it. Just be more consistence when insist the date of delivery. Sooner or later you will get the car. Just matter of time.

here's one pic we took today

owner came for custom made coil mat

will upload pics of job done at our thread soon
