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 $$ ?

QUOTE(theanswer @ Sep 26 2016, 10:26 AM) i'm in the middle of this right now. persona can give me a nice drive and better spec(lot cheaper). but city can give better cabin size.  If you don't carry passengers often.. then the slightly smaller cabin size is not an issue.

QUOTE(mywingame @ Oct 13 2016, 10:33 AM) My guess similar promotion might need wait next year end... however year end should have slight discount for clearance... Yea. year discount are to clear warehouse of leftover stocks.. and since new Persona's demand caused bottleneck in production line... , there is no need to offer any good discount in near future. Still depends on variant too I guess . Non Premium might have better chances . We shall see.

QUOTE(Jane's @ Oct 18 2016, 09:31 PM) Be prepared to wait, blindly, with no news whatsoever on when the car's arrival will be. Be prepared to hear from Proton that they have no idea how long the wait will be, and how far away you are from the top of the list. Proton's biggest problem is managing the delivery of their cars. With a state of the art plant in Tg. Malim capable of such high production capacity, they still struggle to deliver 5000 cars within 3 months of booking. This translates to less than 2000 cars made delivered every month. And they dare to target for a few thousand orders monthly. Ridiculous. 1) You failed maths LOL. Its just 2 months since booking started (mid Aug) . The 5000 delivered info was made known like.. last week. So its 5000 delivered in a bit over 2 months . 2) you cherry picks the issue and focus on -ve. The reason why delivery slow is because of greater demands for Premium variant which is unforeseeable. Customer can opt for lower variant and see their cars delivered in 2-3 weeks maybe. I'm sure you will be jumping for joy if the demand is not good so you can fabricate more assumptions from thin air to criticize . LOL. You're a classic example of "Haters will hate."

QUOTE(burning @ Oct 20 2016, 01:32 AM) Imagine how the production staff (Car maker) pushing their best to get your future car ready on time. I pity the workers more. What to do, they have to fulfill the customer request. Customer always right. p.s Me order 23rd August and received car on 2nd September at Cose. I'm expecting high volume order from customer. Don't forget, Proton didn't just produce new Personas but other cars as well. There might be a few thousands Exoras,Preves and a handful of Suprimas need to churn out from their assembly line each month too.

QUOTE(New_born @ Dec 5 2016, 02:20 PM) Seeking for opinion.. Booked premium brown on september. Loan approve on mid oct. Today my sa said that next year only can get the car.. Without free service and part also.. Is it true?? Not entitle for the free service and part even booked before 30 sept?? Thats what I heard too. this is sad considering it is Proton's fault for not delivering in time. The only consolation from all this is that your car registered 2017 means depreciates slower than this year.

QUOTE(zero5177 @ Dec 6 2016, 01:10 AM) The ori HU may look so standard and lousy, actually im quite surprised with its sound quality and its functions, almost everything ranging from AUX, bluetooth, call in call out and USB, only with the exception of the LCD screen What I'm looking for is just rear speaker which will void my warranty because it involves wiring  The sensitivity of the HU keyboard really sucks. its hard to really type properly. My HU can detect my USB flash drive BUT no files were shown on screen. hmmm....

I think i might have hit the jackpot when it comes to HU...hmm..lemon unit..
- all radio channels .autodetection failed. It skipped everything. - play mp3 songs from sd card it will pause a bit halfway in every other song. - totally cant read usb disk content even though upon plugging in the screen changes from 'no usb detected' to blank, no message at all and no files listed.

My first fuelup also yielded poor result... 6 bars gone only managed 310km. But 2nd time around things have gotten better by 10% at least.

Had my first 1000km service done and describe my HU problem to them
- USB can't detect - mp3 songs stutter sometimes - radio poor reception
When I go pick up my car, all they said what they've done was reset the HU and ask me to try again if got problem again needs refer to vendor.
Gosh.. nothing was fixed. They didn't even test it on my behalf after performing the so called "reset". And I cant stay long to followup on this since I sneaked out during office hours to get my car.
I guess I gotta waste time make 2nd trip to SC again sometime this month. All 5 hours the car stayed in SC and its just the minor service they did. sigh.
