Persona Premium waiting time is now stands at 1.5 mth.

1)im not condemning them, im just pointing out what i have heard and seen.... i did not condemn them, i basically stated its pros and cons
2)5.4L/100km isnt very impressive, my dads saga sv managed under 6l per 100km kl->taiping (99% smooth journey other than taiping town)
3)while i have not rode in this particular car yet, i have risen in basically all the other current models (only general variants, never sat or touched any of the special/limited production variants). my friend who has the iriz and the (old) persona has tested it and i have no reason to doubt his words..... (he does drive the other protons in his household often enough to know better)

and persona achive it with 1.6L engine with 200kg hevier body, wait till you get the result of 1.3 Saga VVT.

I genuinely ask you to go test drive the new Persona and Saga, you will change your mind as I and most people did. that is why Proton persona booking now is 11,000 unit just only a month after launch

The fc is with manual or cvt variant? Roughly how long is that? Sorry not familiar with these two places

hehe actually going test later on after another friend gets his.... wanted to see whats the top spec model like, but the showroom near my place was very busy when i went to see and no cars for me to test with on the spot.
salesman not willing to take his deposit cause they havent even gotten the chassis/engine numbers (or some other numbers) yet.... eta about 1 month for him

The Journey around 120km, mixed of small town, B roads, highway and Kuantan City. the variant is CVT.

I respect your opinion, but i wonder why does Malaysians have this perception, me as a foreigner(America) feel that Proton have some really good cars.

I don't. Being a family man having a lot of priorities and long experience with secondhand cars, I think the new Proton entry level sedans are very good bargain compared to all foreign cars of the same kind.

Persona= 3 years free service. This alone should be enough for consideration. The amount save here is quite a lot.

"We’ve just been informed that the Proton R3 Suprima S Touring Car draws 155 hp at 7,500 rpm and 185 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm from a modified 1.6 litre IAFM engine (same setup as R3 Preve racer), and not 178 hp and 224 Nm from a CPS as previously stated." cili sos

if you got budget,
go for suprima s instead of preve premium.


but if you ask me personally, preve or persona.
id say the new persona.

If you have a budget of 75k, i suggest getting the bottom spec Honda City to get your money's worth or go for top spec Persona to save money.
