The persona looks big in this picture compared to the old one

hi guys.... new owner reporting in... i dont have the car yet.. waiting for it to arrive soon.. already have the car registered.. cant wait to test the manual n see how it differs
byw im planning to slap in a 16 or 17 inch rim... which one will make best of the car? having a big dilemma now

That is around 8.2l/100km or 12.1km/l . Experiencing S4ph engine. It will get better as mileage piles. Make sure next change ask SC to pour 5w30 viscosity oil.

I once uses Vios mk1 can get only 11km/l with that kind of trafic driving.

guys, i'm sure i'll be flamed for posting this, but..

welcome to the world of dashboard rattle club.

ps : test drove a persona today and the dashboard rattle exactly at the same spot as my Iriz; driver A pillar and radio.

Care to post some reviews on the manual variant, and some photos on the foot rest.

Drove the car for 30KM to work this morning, ranging 30% city 70% highway. My first impression for the car is, once you enter no noise were heard, I don't know why but you know the feeling when you climb up hill and suddenly your ear clogged up (you need to telan air to unclogged to hear back). The noise is visible when you drive 100KM/h+, engine noise were minimal but the road noise is somewhat not kuat maybe moderately (I think need to reduce the tyre pressure). Langgar any bumper or road that is uneven were somewhat ease and comfort (this morning I thought hearing rattling noise from the dashboard, I thought fucksake proton not this issues again anddd it turn out to be USB stick left inside the car. ) remove the USB stick, try driving again on uneven road no rattling sound.

So for the manual transmission (Be noted that I'm coming from proton saga BLM, which basically my only manual car, I can only benchmark using my saga) I don’t like the throttle response in Persona. My saga basically once you pedal the accelerator, the power instantaneous deliver while in persona there is lag, it feels like I’m driving the CVT transmission, 0.1/2sec compared to 0.5sec in CVT. Can anyone confirm if Persona using Electronic accelerator pedal or using the cable one? If using EAP its answered the lag response. So for the transmission, even better from saga. As for anyone concern that the gear stick is far from the driver seat, Proton already highten the gear level and shorten up the distance travel between each gear, so for those of you who have the old stick, you need to familiarize the new distance, afraid from second gear goes to fifth already biggrin.gif happened to me this morning.

Anyone curious about the RPM for 110KM/h is around 2.5/2.6k. For eco mode, basically it will turn on if you drive below the “Overconsume” rpm, example eco mode can be turn on as low as second gear rpm intake is around 2~2.3. Once you pedal hard, eco mode gone la, basically wanna racing can’t be fuel efficient. Once I already done my 1K service, I’ll try the top speed. My saga can reach 175KM/h before flying la but average 140/150. As for the fuel consumption, its shows around 7.2l/100KM. Need to break in more KM before getting the exact figure I guess. Getting 5.6l/100KM seems hard XD

The one thing that I can’t move on I the throttle response, biggest let down right now. I don’t like the lag at all sad.gif. Short review for morning drive.

As I know, Petronas do not supply 5w30 fully synthetic to Proton but only to Naza Kia

Got from fb persona group

ori from proton

Okay whose Persona WDxxxxF in Bdr Sri Damansara yesterday?

anybody knows the rpm at 110km/h for the cvt?

around 2.9k rpm
