To all the earliest Persona owner that will get their car soon, did you planning to straight away change the car tyre and rim after get the car?

change with light weight 16" rim + Advan DB
(quiet tyre) = comfort setting

Or

Change with light weight 16" rim + Re003
(stick like glue tyre)= sport setting

The car would look nicer with 16" rim. Especially solid white persona + black sport rim thumbup.gif

currently proton did not comes with GDI version , even coming few years if have i would not recommend to buy .
the only reason , a new engine needs a couple of year to become more stable , just like the proton CFE engine ,
first batch also well know a lot of problem  cry.gif  cry.gif

Guys, wanna ask about the 1k service, apparently no engine oil change for me. Is it normal?

Cannot be right? That's the reason of going to 1K service...to change the engine oil.

Some say the New Persona fuel tank is 10L smaller compared to old one, but the new one can cover the similar mileage for 1 tank as compared to the old one despite having smaller tank, even thou this measurement is not 100% accurate, but its still obviously more fuel save.

As for me, I'm getting around 14.5km/l for city 70% mix highway 30% but no traffic jam thou...
For highway I had 16.8km/l driving around 110-130km/h

Did you calculate manually? If so, the figure is quite good actually! And much better than old Persona!

bro..u pay 59800 to get a full spec persona with high safety feature...or paid for 60k++ for nothing but just import car ??
make your choice bro

i tested this car, saga , bezza ( my wife like p2 brand ) and of course..local legendary super car ..1.5 myvi..

if u died died wan me to give my opinion...for me.. either i go for myvi or just persona...
frankly to be speak. i prefer saga design than persona...but the car size smaller..so i just give up on this...
persona so far ok..but may be is the absorber system is more on soft type..so when i drive on those unflated road ( kampung jalan , banyak lubang ) the car will feel a little bit shake..asked some fren who is persona owner...this can be done after get the car..and the air cond got some undefined sound...

myvi for me = local mini cooper....140kmph just like makan sayur...handling wise also acceptable...but i like a car with an ass..haha....if i looking hatchback car. this car will be my first choice
*
Are you sure?
I loaned my friend's Myvi for two days. The very first junction I almost skidded. I just took the corner speed like I did with old Persona. sweat.gif

lol...i do a mistake ...myvi that i mentioned earlier is the lagi power lagi best..1.5...

i do have a PERSONA MT, its definitely sedap after gear 3...i am not heavy foot kaki...so from gear 1 to gear 2., i just tekan until 2rpm or may 2.5rpm den i switch gear...its quite comfortable but just the FC issue make me decide to give to my brothers who travel a lot and i am using his 1.5 lagi power lagi best..

Power delivery yeah Myvi engine is better but even then, not the handling. It's not mean for that kind of drive.

Hi guys, I am a tyre pressure noob. Just wanted to know what is the what is the kPa shld I put for my car? I am confused about the warm tyre pressure . Currently using the recommended kPa of 220 as in label on thr car.
*
Just pump according to the recommeded specs. If feel too bouncy, reduce a bit.
Normally for non-new tyres, I pump slightly lower than recommended pressure to get more traction; at the expense of higher FC.

I don't think he is teasing me. I think he tried to explained to me the car is working fine when he released the clutch without stepping on the gas pedal in like a second or so. The power delivery of the car is fine.

Still I'm not really a car guy just want to get from point A to B, that's why I'm still driving the old saga until recently. I also don't know that I shouldn't rest my foot on the clutch pedal while driving until I watched Engineering Explained like 2 years ago, and I've been doing that for like 13+ years.  sad.gif  Luckily I did not put much pressure on it.

I noticed thre's one quirk with new Persona MT: Lacking a foot rest!
Having said that, I'm wondering if I should get an MT. What power delivery problem are you facing?

I'm not sure how to say it exactly. For example, when you want to accelerate from stand still then change to 2nd gear. When you pressed the gas pedal hard at 2nd gear the car will keep accelerating for like 1s then suddenly you feel like the car losing power for ~1s and then like normal will accelerating forward again. 3rd gear not that obvious, 4th and 5th gear is fine.

However, if you do it slowly then you won't feel anything. Changed gear slowly, release the clutch slowly and accelerate slowly then the drive is smooth.

That's very odd! blink.gif
BTW just wondering why did you take MT instead of CVT? I thought only boy racers will get MT. haha
