Nickname for an insider informant.

Historically, Deep Throat was the nickname of the FBI insider who exposed the Watergate scandal to the press way back in 1972.

Oh and one thing worth mentioning about the new Persona...the rear seats are quite long front to back, that means it has decent thigh support, unlike most B segments who give short seats in the rear. Not aure if Iriz is the same, but I thought this was a nice touch.

If I wanna transfer my old saga insurance to the new persona to enjoy the 55% NCB discount can ar? Is it worth? cos I still need to buy back the insurance for my old saga.
*
Yes worth to transfer. Always use the highest NCD you have on the most expensive car you own.

Those just plug into the 12v socket, no affect warranty. I usually remove it when I send it to service because takut kena curi.

As for monthly payment, I have to. izzit really that bad to go with 2 speakers? my current saga fl exec also have 4 speakers.
*
I have a Persona SV with only 2 speakers. The biggest problem for me is that because the speakers are at the rear, I need to turn up the volume, which may be too loud for your rear passengers.

The gain RM4176 is nett after minus the car interest of 2.84%...(assuming from Kuwait Finance and max loan 40K. 
If take 7 years loan, your nett gain is (4.0%-2.84%)/100*40000*7  = RM3248...

Can anyone confirm if Persona using Electronic accelerator pedal or using the cable one? If using EAP its answered the lag response.
*
Both BLM and new Persona use Electronic Throttle.

In fact ALL Proton cars using Campro is electronic Throttle. Only the old Mitsubishi based Protons are cable throttle.

Which means can install Throttle Controller for new Persona ...
Ever since its was plug and play item ...
I wonder what is the response ?
*
Aftermarket ETC only remap the throttle position, does not change the response.

You can try comparing before and after installing ETC with a test shown in the video below. In my experience, there is no difference in response with or without aftermarket ETC.

QUOTE(Boss262 @ Sep 15 2016, 02:10 PM)
Is this true? because the throttle feel different man. Saga throttle feedback were heavy, while persona is light as hell.
*
You can test both car's response like below

Not sure how to describe thou... those vibration is quite annoying to me on the FLX when RPM is at around 1.5k or lower... it is some kind of vibration sound when you try to accelerate with old manual car at low RPM thats pretty bassy at a low frequency note.
Come share share.. I do feel heart broken if I see that...

Standard variant does not have the fold-down rear seats, and auto headlamps are only available on the premium spec.

Your SA did not inform you of these?

side note and this may or may not apply to you/other readers, regardless if you already know or not: a rough gauge on really short ratio cars, you're usually needing to shift at least twice or even 3 times just to get 100km/h lol.

100km/h in third gear (2 shifts) is normal la huh.gif

random latest ND miata mx 5:
5.087
2.991
2.035
1.594
1.286
1.000

final
2.866

the first gear and final drive is like a huge fuck you, but i guess how 2-6 is decently quite close... oh well all is forgiven? lol
lol no overdrive though
*
Because the final drive of the ND is long, the result is actually not much different from my 6 speed econoshitbox lowlife Ford even though the ratios of the MX5's gearbox are shorter.

From what I read, it has a 1:1 top gear so to reduce friction and transmission loss due to different gear sizes, hence improving efficiency and fuel economy during highway cruising. The rest of the gears (as well as the final drive) were adjusted accordingly to accomodate that final gear ratio.
