Just to let you guys know, especially manual Persona User, that power delay between second and third gear has been fix. It's fixable, kindly brought your Persona to nearest to fix this issue. No more power dropping between second and third gear. Can accelerate like mad cow already

Hi guys. Have been driving a standard manual version for ~a week. Below are some of my observations/issues:
1. Shifting gear from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 often resulted in immediate drop in power. Have to press more to move the car. However once above ~2000rpm power delivery is good.
2. Engine braking (and its noise) is more noticeable after 3rd day driving.
3. Radio sound will suddenly silent for 1-3 sec at certain area...searching for better signal?
4. 1st pump recorded 6.1L/100km but manual calculation is about 6.8L/100km. ~70% highway.
5. wind noise slightly noticeable above 100km/h
6. no rattling or unusual noise, at the moment.
7. cabin noise, ride and handling is rated from good to great. Car feel solid during cornering and cruising.
By the way, anyone in PJ area looking for a good deal can contact @vincent818.

Regarding the drop in power for first few gears, it can be fixed at SC based on one of the member here and he seems pretty happy with it

Can this same issue be applied to my new manual saga? because when i shift from 1st to 2nd can really feel sharp drop in power. Major annoyance/issue when climbing uphill

(as my house is located uphill

)
I'm assuming that new Persona & new Saga share same manual engine & transmission make and model. Just difference in engine displacement. Also, when u visit the SC what u say to him

? @Boss262
Also would to add that proton QC still

the manual gearstick fake leather wrap surrounding the gear knob come out (maybe teared) albeit from the sides showing a deep small hole into the transmission
