Bumper popped out already went to 3 SC also cannot fix..
3 SC also do tightening only...

3rd SC is COSE yesterday which I already told the staff previous 2 SC just tighten but after half day drive will pop out. Request the staff to change the bumper bracket coz in facebook group some have the same problem and only fixed after they change the bumper bracket. This facebook guy told me he also went SC few times and always just tighten which in the end will pop out after few days. He told me now ok already after he insist to change the bumper bracket.(he send me his receipt summore)

Still when collect car this staff told me the body work sifu say no need change any part. Their kung fu good, previous SC mayb kung fu no good. I no choice accept and hope wont pop out again as COSE is the HQ their workmanship surely top but after 1 day still popped out the bumper..

Tomorrow will call the Customer service who serve me there.. This time wanna insist change the bumper bracket or change the whole damn bumper. And i wanna it done on saturday(as i know their bodyworks open on saturday just they dont allow customer to rectify issue on saturday) coz i was told to leave my car next appointment friday and collect saturday evening to spray the whole rear bumper(some paint issue).

It's only a small issue but when people tell the sc to fix it using the proper solution(in this case replace bumper bracket) then the sc has no choice but to follow the request.

Instead, service guy got ego and say "tak payah tukar itu ini lah" and the end result is right there to see. The solution is right there but they still stubborn. Haishh...

i read this thread got some user complained that persona vvt is very heavy and much heavier than cars in the same class such as honda city and toyota vios

but i checked their weights and both honda city and vios have almost same weight across all specs, around 1110kg

while persona is 1155 to 1210 depending on specs, its almost 100kg heavier for the heaviest, but some said its more than 100kg heavier than vios/city and exaggerate it

is proton lying about the weight on their brochure? i read some here say persona is 1280kg blink.gif

For persona weight, you should take the 1175 kg as benchmark which is CVT standard and 1210kg for Full Spec since City only have CVT, the 1155kg for Persona is Standard MT due to MT is lighter (but still way heavier than competitor in auto)

Persona
Standard CVT weight 1175kg
Full Spec CVT weight 1210kg

Vios
standard CVT weight 1095kg (80kg lighter to Persona)
Full Spec CVT weight 1115kg (95kg lighter to Persona)

City
Standard CVT weight 1075kg (100kg lighter to Persona)
Full Spec CVT weight 1106kg (104kg lighter to Persona)

From here, you can compare that technically Persona is somewhere 100kg + - heavier than Vios and City

Note: This 100kg difference is like the weight of 2 lady in decent body or a obese guy in their 100kg

Fuel consumption cannot rival those like vios and City due to weight and of course the engine is not as advance as theirs too. But the fuel consumption wasn't too far behind anyway.
So the fuel consumption is actually Ok in my opinion considering these facts

Nothing to do with price. I'm assuming the body structure material is the main contributor to its weight as well as the engine block using cast iron instead of aluminium like some of the other B segments.

Once the new engines come I think it'll be a bit lighter since a few components like the cylinder head is made of aluminium.
