Just to share a few 'weird' things i note on my short test drive experience with the Persona today:
1. The HU is quite laggy, and isn't the best to operate say when the car is in motion. Steering controls, when pressed, takes awhile for the HU to capture and respond accordingly.
2. The CVT unit takes about 0.5 sec to 'bite' upon engaging. For example, to move from complete standstill, you need to let the car move for about 0.5s before stepping on the accelerator and the acceleration would be very linear. Else, if you step too early, once the CVT kicks in, you feel a jump.
3. The suspension is on the firmer side. It's not to say uncomfortable, but it goes over bumps harder than say the Korean makes, T and H.
4. The brakes aren't gradual in bite. But once they bite, they do bite.
5. Throughout my test drive, no matter how I feathered the throttle, the ECO indicator never lit up. Asked the SA, he told me then it only lights up once you've broken the 4k rpm barrier and then drive very slowly after that (Plain BS if you ask me, suspect that maybe it was turned off or something).
6. Car's FC average was 14.5 L/100km (very high). Hopefully it's just on the test drive unit that is abused constantly, and that real world figures can return about 7L/100km.
7. The signal light sound from inside the cabin (tik tak tik tak) sounds cheap-ish unlike those in the Inspira which sounds really upmarket haha.
That is all i believe. Please note that I am only sharing the weird observations I found for discussion or sharing, because what I felt was good with the car has been shared previously. Overall, I still feel it is a good car and good effort from Proton, so much so that I might be getting one myself. Just contemplating on whether to get the Premium or Standard (the executive is a no no for me).
No 1 and 6 still lame problem by proton?1. The HU is quite laggy, and isn't the best to operate say when the car is in motion. Steering controls, when pressed, takes awhile for the HU to capture and respond accordingly.

Still stuck with same vendor like Iriz? No further improvement made?
FC for campro even vvt still on high note since it based on old campro engine. So 10km/l for average?
