Those who secured/ gotten theirs...

Q1)  Any of you able to get extra rebate (maybe 1k or 2k?)
Q2) What are the freebies ? (umbrellas etc?)
Q3) Did salesmen offered/mentioned about extended warranty period (to 5yrs)  by adding in extra $$ ?

Engine is much smooth. Since labour and engine oil are free. Upgraded to fully synthetic engine oil for RM85.

Pump RON97 and felt the engine power kick in.
Blast at 183kmj at Bukit Jalil to Putrajaya highway.Before, do survey no police from Bukit Jallil to putrajaya then Uturn and blast the car.

My experience.
1. 0 to 40. Steering feel light
2. 55 to 90. the steering different from light
3. 110kmj to 183kmj bit heavy. Believe the car setting. can anyone comfirm this

If you blast from 110 to 160. Engine felt kick in slow.
But when you stomp aggressive from 50 to 183kmj it does move on. I dont dare to exceed 183kmj but i'm sure Persona can reach more. (not racer or wanabe)

Noise engine
1.  below 90kmj quite.
2. about 110kmj (rpm about 2800rpm at 110kmj) engine can hear roar a bit.
3. about 183kmj about 5K rpm. Unfortunate Leg shaken. but cornering at 160kmj is stable.

I know the car can push more. Migrated from MyVi 1.3 (A) 2014. Cornering are stable at 160kmj. It does not wobbling side to side due to car heavy.
Pick up.. traction control does help. rpm gone up to down but tyre grip to move on.
Engine roar loud when you reach 4.5K rpm. So dont expect much there.

To end this. for driving below 110kmj rpm reach almost 3K rpm. Probably proton should rexduce it to 2.7 or 2.6K rpm. CVT ratio needed to change.
Stability. I have no issue. It beat Myvi clear cut.
Brake. it grip. But when the ABS kick in... you can hear the brake hammering. Not sure other car do the same.
Log record - Proton do download the car performance record. I guess i'm the guinea pig for their next action plan.
Body and engine rattling. I dont hear any. But cant expect much at 1K km car.
I'm not going to blast 180kmj anymore. Leg shaken, eyes open widely. Early 4 series age. youngster will able to beat that records anytime.

Enclosed the persona dashboard fuel economy record.

Now understand. Can you advise how do I calculate.

my option i have is to pump fuel full then used it for 200km and pump fuel full again.
Assuming 200km / total fuel price. get cents per litter.

How about to calc litter per km? Anyone.

Ok Guys...
Here are the results for fuel economy Persona 1.6 CVT premium

Total Distance:293.4 km
Fuel : RON 97 (rm2.05 per litter)
Total fuel : RM 49.43 (24.112 km per litter)
Passenger : Driver with spouse and 2 Kids (Healthy one)
Range: From
Pandan Indah to Bukit tinggi. (Climbing hill )
Then back to Pandan. (Genting sempah)
Go to work through Cheras Traffic jam
Coming back from work
Then go to work in KL again (traffic)
then come back home.
Then pump fuel at Cheras Shell. (Mcdonald)

It's 0.168 per km

So.... Since the test were tested on Highway, climbing hill and downhill and going to work through traffic. Does it economy?
Well nope ... But surely I felt comfort and enjoy driving it.
Compare with my MyVi 1.3 (A) 2014. Perodua is more economy. But I felt safe while driving persona, probably due to stability and less fatique for long distance.
Nothing wrong with my Myvi, just different practical used for each car.
Encloed the persona dashboard mileage and Bukit Tinggi Mosque as prove. Tak Percaya?

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

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.

Your insurance don't cover windshield?

waa..now I'm thinking to get the insurance cover for windshield..
btw maybe u can try Dr Cermin to repair

good move bro... im loving my persona more n more everyday
good drive great nvh... but dont expect to receive something perfect 100%

i belanja one pic

Guys, would the Persona suffer obvious loss of power when air cond compressor kick in? such as light dimmed, power output reduced like suffered on Saga BLM... and is the compressor noisy?

I've experience the same issue with newer proton models. Iriz, persona iafm, saga flx and even bmw 3 series! However my iswara and myvi is showing accurate speed reading when checked with GPS

That is pretty standard on most car except toyota. My previous Toyota Altis Reads at 102 kmh for GPS against 110 on speedo and it get worst at 180kmh speedo reading but only 169kmh GPS. (observe the same for VIOS)

anyone know when the r3 version will release?

Spotted the first persona in my housing area..

Even your car reach, you still need to wait until next week because the jpj close weekend and sunday public holiday ganti monday. Known the anxious feeling to get the new car just like me last time. Just patient a bit bro..
  The persona are getting more on the road ady, saw three on the way back this afternoon. You will have some regret feeling like: wow that color so nice! Why didn't I choose the color...But never seen a single white color yet on the road..
  Anyway congrats to all the bro who booked the car before yesterday. The free maintainences offer are the big offer deals that u could safe up to 2.5k service fees.

Called the SA again and he said that the lorry that was supposed to deliver my car arrived but my car was not on the lorry! I don't know what kind of stupid prank proton is trying to do. Broke promises after promises and I still did not get my car. Really fed up with them. Damn crappy la. Thinking to support proton and they gave me shit.
