Pros:
-Stable at high speed
-Handling awesome
-CVT big improvement over the Iriz, after driving for 1k km, my car feel little to none throttle lag
-Safety features
-Comfortable for long period sitting in the car
-Speakers
-Head unit is smooth for my car, no lag, I open Spotify and radio only

Cons:
-Rattling at dashboard 
-No adjustable headrest for rear seat
-Brake too soft and spongy, but can adjust
-Some people experience loud wind noise at 60kmh
-Some people say the rear seat have little legroom
-Lousy stock tyre
-Interior plastic feels cheap, but can't expect much at this price
-High fuel consumption at city driving
-The passenger doors may hit you if you're not careful when opening the door, it has the arrow-like shape

To me, only the rear seat no headrest is the big con, others either can be solve or don't irritate me.
The engine and gearbox is the same with Iriz, I don't see problem on Iriz for two years(or yet, still early to make conclusion). The engine mounting is different, don't know about the reliability. I like my car very much.

Which variant? How is the speaker performance compare to iriz? I personally feel the leather seat of persona is better than iriz but Iriz fabric seat for 1.6 exe still the best....

just pickup exec persona .. pity pickup at night so cant confirm the scratches .. just pray no scratches .. bought it directly from Proton branch in Mutiara Damansara ..

Then as usuall proton never fails to have problem .. they said before deliver the will do PDI checking .. means they will QC again the car .. here are my issue ..

1) back left passengger door cant open from inside .. check if there's child lock and there's no child lock mechanism at the door ..
2) got a windy sound when car go up to 80kmh-100kmh from the driver side .. suspected due to their rubber at the door.
3) Got sound like compressor on and off but i dont think a compressor .. every time the car goes 80kmh above .. it will on and off every 30 seconds and it is iritating .
4) when a rempit bike nearby i can hear very loud .. acceptable if the sound is not so loud but the sounds like a window not properly close.
5) eco system .. not sure how this works but pretty sure when i test drive persona the ECO is on whenever i drive slowly within town and whenever stop at a traffic light the ECO light will still be on but my car the eco will not turn on and it will turn on after i reach 70kmh and sometimes not turn on at all.
6) Radio volume .. each time the car start need to adjust back the vol .. default is 7 and it is too loud ..
7) Fuel comsumptions .. they claimed persona auto will be range 6.1 but mine lowest is 7.4 and sometimes goes up to 7.8

- i just took the car and straight away went back kampung .. highest speed is 120kmh but based on its meter .. my average is 64kmh ..

- Already inform the proton salesgirl .. tomorrow morning will go to SC
- How people want to support proton .. if after took care tomorrow return back and need to wait ..

2.) dont expect a 120k type of NVH for a 60k car dry.gif . I suppose this type of noise is common for car below 90K.

What you means by headlamp turn off itself? Your lamp switch in auto mode or ON? If auto, it will off itself once you stop your engine. If normal mode than you have to manually turn off yourself. 

The follow me home feature have to trigger manually each time once you had stop your engine. Last for 30s and it will off itself.

I just wonder when the persona headlamp will be off when auto mode ON. Not sure is after lock the door or stop the engine. BTW, thanks for the answer.
