Can anyone confirm the fabric quality in Std vs Exec?
The showroom i went do not have Std car but the SA told me the fabric in Std will be same as Iriz? While the Exec fabric i touched just now does feel better.

Easier for us to change for after market reverse camera.

I think the outlook is awesome, first time i feel Proton car can compete with other foreign car alternative ...outlook only ...performance and quality pending on review

i tested this car
dont know how to put my thought in words now but it is really huge improvement over iriz. the refinement is thr. this is what iriz should have.

engine is a lot quieter! no longer scares me when i step hard on the pedal
punch cvt is also improved alot, it is getting nearer to City torque converter type feeling, jerking is almost non-existence

outlook, my ranking currently Mazda 2>new Persona>City

one more thing, interior quality improved a lot too from iriz. No more flimsy buttons! Or at least i have tried hard to find but could not find anymore from the 2 car that i touched. glovebox is aligned this time LOL

Wah.. nice nice. Sounds like this is a win!

yeah.. i could not help myself poking fun at my gf(she owned 1st batch iriz) after that test drive and molested the new persona.
improvements could be found everywhere from proton own current best model the iriz(except the funny wheel proportion,uglier rim,funny two tone color)... even she also admitted and felt butthurt..especially during the first note coming from the started engine.. no more bassy noisy note this time. Too bad for those who like bassy and loud exhaust note.

Now struggle between Premium & Standard.
No no to the Executive as the spec stuck in nowhere.

Noisy car never sell well unless is V6 and above performance engine.

Is it comfortable? I heard the rear passenger legroom is bad

legroom is bad cause it is now a B segment car. (rear disc brakes from old persona is downgraded to drum brakes in this new persona ).........u want more legroom ? get C segment (honda civic) or D segment (honda accord) cars

How bad it is? They said much roomier than old gen persona.
If it is roomier than old gen persona,then acceptable i guess. But if its much more cramped than old persona..

not so bad actually, the seat are comfy. the driver and front passenger seat has been made thinner at the back. but that as pinch of salt as i am a small size guy, therefore i have no trouble sitting inside most of B seg car

lanciao la persona can win inspira.

jom drag race!

in all seriousness, 46800 OTR without discounts factored in is a seriously damn aggressive price lol

hahaha i commented the same with my friends

I mean i mean, they wanna do vroom vroom
but CVT auto

should go F&F and have their 50 speeds MT

I don't see how it's possible to be roomier than the first gen when the wheelbase is a lot shorter. But don't get me wrong. It doesn't directly translate to comfortabilty because the old gen seat is too low. Like kid's seat. New gen car height is higher as well.

IIRC, Preve was supposed to be the Persona replacement but they priced it higher and old Persona was selling well. That was is not really replaced until now.

Clearly you have no idea on the interior. The legroom is much roomier than the old persona. The braking distance is improve over the old persona despite non all disc brakes. The boot space is also bigger than the old persona, and the biggest in its class. Even it is a B segment compare to the old Persona C segment, it is bigger where it needs to be. Big in dimension, but not translate into usable space is pointless.

It is possible. The Jazz B segment was even roomier than C segment car. Wheelbase is wheelbase. It is how the engineer make use of that dimension into usable space. Proton is learning towards this, but still cannot match those Japanese who known to have very good skill in using space with restrictions.

i can only think honda that can offer roomy space...not others like mazda, toyota.
