with some improvement, the new Saga will be 4 Star.

WTF are you talking about regarding protection policy?

FYI, I used to work in a Japanese Automobile company in charge of Pricing. There is no such thing, as long as we do CKD and have some amount of local content.

after doing effort in localization, we manage to get our B-seg Hatchback Excise duty down to Proton level, guess what? we have to price higher to the same level as other Japanese brand because the principal has not allowed us to dilute the brand.

Wanna bet where the extra savings go?
It went to increased CKD pack price and higher distributor and dealer margin.

aiyooo... price higher by principal. not the government kat mana hg tak paham?

what is the point of Japanese Principal want to make DRB richer?

Why need to charge less, when we are doing alright and good with high margin?
Why need to sell more from low price, if the result need to invest more in Production capacity?

I even got scoff at by the Japanese for even considering competing against P2 price point. as if P2 is the one carrying the Japanese flag in Malaysia

Competing against P2 is like splitting their already big cake in Malaysia.

Something to ponder.

120,000km as per Proton recommendation..

This Persona savings on free maintenance for 3 years. I can change timing belt every year.

What i meant was that some other product salesman from Rawang has been attacking Proton Engine due to timing belt like if changing timing belt is a daily affair.

Usually the belt + Labor + Water pump Gasket + 3 Oil seals + FEAD Belt does not constitute to more than RM400 if done at the right workshop.

The savings you get with 3 years free maintenance (parts + labor) compared to buying the Bizzare car from Rawang can easily be used to change timing belt not just once every 3 year but can also use it to change every year.

The cost of those parts are covered under the 3 years free maintenance program.

Plus 1

I will definitely not believe they can introduce the engine as early 2017. the fastest is end 2018.

with the current new management very particular about quality, it will definitely delayed. "Syukur" already they can introduce by 2019.

As far as current engine is concern, with new NVH refinement fitted into new Persona, it is already good and i dare to say better than current Vios and on par with City in terms of response an quietness.

I have no problem with Campro reliability (my mother have 2005 Gen2), and with so much tuner out there than can even enhance the performance and cheap parts, it is very good value.

err did I say anything about tech? I was saying about NVH. go and test drive new Persona and comment back here

The only difference is, where can you get the best deal in town? shop around you may got more discount and freebies. After that you can service anywhere with Proton and Suzuki Logo Service centre

Please be responsible to the environment for other people.

The throttle pedal on my Preve has the same not aligned issues, if you want to call it as issue.

Got it modded/fixed recently for RM50

The guy make the response instantaneous, before this even after pressing around 5% the engine still did not move, now just a tap on the pedal the engine response, after that the guy just aligned the pedal to be the same height as brake pedal.

RM50 can do wonders.

That is bad? an average around 500 booking per day since launch with min Rm300 not like bizzare with rm0 also considered booking.

Mekanik or SA ni mesti nama dia Ti Pu Kuat

Why need to ask? does it affect your buying decision?

Heard from Proton production friend in Tanjung Malim. They are working every day overtime including working on Saturday. They even cancelled their plan shutdown this Hari Raya Qurban and have to work even during Malaysia Day Holiday to make more Persona.

Contrasting fate compared to Rawang.

I guess the booking of new Persona is good.

You want to wait at least another 2 year ka?
