pm replied.

btw this one need wait 1-2month , no ready stock

When i test drove at Subang branch, the SA offered me RM800 discount, young guy called Sam

not bad, req for free body kit also

hi mind share's the address for the branch and contact number ??? thanks

If anyone here is interested in getting a new Persona, you guys can try to talk to @vincent818 . I booked with him and he is a very responsive SA. Gave me quite a good deal too.

Sure mate:
Sin Siang Hin (M) Sdn. Bhd
5493, Jalan SS 14/1, 47500 Subang Jaya

SA name: Sam Koh
contact number: 0129798100

But since its a dealer, might not get stock very soon

Btw, I actually opted for the Mazda 2 instead but still lurking here cause I think the Persona is still a very nice car, very good for long trips with friends for its spacious cabin and very comfortable ride.

ok thanks mazda is good car ,, too bad no money and i just used for working enviromwnt and warehouse in which is the road bad and dusty , no point using mazda , i am taking standard variant but thought standard varaint got alot of stock ???

Oh i was talking about the premium version, standard variant should have alot of stock. Whether the mazda 2 is a good car or not is depend on preference. Comparing Persona and Mazda 2, the Persona has WAY better NVH and the ride is more comfortable, window viewability is also much better, you won't feel cramp in the Persona at all, the Mazda 2 feels quite claustrophobic. And not to mention the Persona is 30k+ cheaper than the M2. Ultimately why I chose the M2 is its a driver's car, with a loud but awesome sounding engine, superb handling and cornering, and the interior dashboard is the most visually pleasing in its class, even outclassing some C or D segment cars. Plus im single and drive alone most of the time, why care so much about rear passenger space.

The main thing i disliked about the Persona is the CVT transmission and its lag, though a CVT gives a more smoother transition and ride comfort (i like the gear shift feeling in M2, again its personal preference), and the awfully small wheels compared to the body.

Order from proton dealer directly will be faster get the car or with agent will be faster ?...for the premium persona...
Estimated how long will it be? I've Order from a proton dealer..my loan approved but pending sign the agreement.

Hi there, I have a Mazda 2 at home as well, Have been driving it for a year, and I liked it for the superb handling and the beautiful interior.

Have you test driven the latest Persona? How does the handling compares with the Mazda 2?

Thinking to get one more car, since my family needs to change car, and Persona still comes with the base line manual variant. If its good I could consider going back to manual again

At least 1.5 months,, if u choose silver or grey it will take around 2 months.

Branches normally faster, but I doubt if they give u rebate.

How much does a Mazda 2 sedan cost?

With LED lights...arround 97K OTR.....navigation add 1.3K.

No rebate given. .I've ordered the red one...hopefully can get the car faster as now I do not have car to use.

here's the irony:
- there were numerous complaints on the campro engine noise even in the persona especially when you're revving it harder. albeit you think the m2 engine sounders better.
- family sedan handling and cornering is well, limited. if anything, i'd dare the m2 to fit the small silverstones
- the rear passenger space was complained a lot on the iriz and subsequently the persona too since it's basically the same chassis with a boot.
that said, personally it LOOKED cramp, since the roof is a bit low, however once sat in place in the rear seats it definitely isn't cramped at all.

now, if you're REALLY a single driver who's wanting more of a driver car, i highly urge over the persona manual.
the 30k saved can EASILY get WAYYYY better tires or even suspension if you prefer a stiffer ride (though god forbid on those adjustable/coil overs)
