Cruising at 120-140 will be fuel consuming... and it also depends how frequent u travelled at 140km/h
The last time I'm cruising at 130-140 got me a 12.8km/l
But I wouldn't say this is bad... its quite average.. because at this speed its not meant for fuel economy anymore...

Next time try 90-110km/h, the fuel consumption will improve a lot.
Now is 5 out of 14 is MT... seems like quite a lot MT driver waited for this car for quite some time... I remember Bezza barely see 1 MT driver even after their page reaches 100

The clutch is one of the lightest clutch I've ever encountered compare to other MT I've driven,  the bite point is slightly higher compared to other MT... but can easily get used to it after a few drive.
Never try Inspira before.. you may consult Quazacolt as he tried both Persona 2016 and Inspira 1.8 MT before... not sure if he still remember thou 

clutch wise both abg adik.

pedal positioning and gating, mine is modded.
if i may say, stock vs stock, overall persona's getrag > inspira/lancer's aisin.

     

davidletterboyz Here's your answer for Inspira MT compared with Persona VVT MT

btw.. i found a lot of sources of dashboard rattle.. maybe ill upload again some tutorial..that is again if i found another car to repeat the process... dont want to kacau mine..it's perfect already after few minor adjustments

Glad to see Persona has less issuescompare to new HONDA civic

I don't think so, that's the max the car can go. Wouldn't recommend to test the speed limit in highway but if any of you guys want to do it, do it when people on holiday or pagi2 buta. Not many car on the road plus you need total control, pass 160km/h the car would be total wobbly mainly because of the car's height and also the bawah clearance too big.

I personally dont see a point of even testing  that just for the sake of seeing how fast the car can  go.The need requiring such speed (provided conditions are favorable)  is almost nil unless one is evading the law / police car chase  LOL.

Whats next after finding out the conclusion:

good: yeah wow my ride is powerful (ego boosted?)
bad: oh dear the whole thing falling apart  when I go 180kmh. (does it matter at all?  )
ugly: no chance comment (dead liao how to comment?)

We are comparing 2 different segment car right here, old persona more wider, and also the ground clearance is far more less than persona. if you want more stability, need to sacrifice comfort, once you potong spring no more comfort but more stability in high speed.

Actually happen to my car too. I tried to calculate the price per km and compare to the dashboard liter per km , I found out they don't match. So I thought my car fc is bad. Then I went to sg besi 3s Centre and ask them to check. The foreman there also notice something wrong after checking. He told me seems like the sensor not very accurate. They added a bottle of fuel treatment for me and ask me to try again for a week then see if this has improved. If not, then go back and they need to open the dashboard or the fuel sensor.

So I think it's the sensor not giving right reading.

Current odometer is around 450km.... and already refuelled and used up RM97.50 or 42.39Liter @RM2.3/Liter... on CVT
....thats 10.61km/Liter   

Fill in 26.8l Ron95 today,
Rawang ~ Batu Gajah Perak Highway
Batu Gajah ~ Rawang Old Road

Travelled 380KM, 2 bar left. Fuel estimation when filled in is around 34.28l, fuel left after travel 11.428l (2bar). 34.28l-11.428l = 22.852 fuel used.

380KM/22.852= 16.6KM/l

Can get a better figure when next service is perform. Currently clocked at 9.1K KM and I feel like the engine sound is harsh, maybe the oil changes is due.

Because you opted for a semi synthetic engine oil.
Semi Synthetic engine oil has shorter working lifespan.
If you use fully synthetic, then it's 10,000km

Still the same as ever but I actually grow accustomed to it and learn how to drive to prevent power lost
It's just the same basic concept like fill in and drive till your tank is empty but mine I don't have the strength to continue driving.
For the calculation 2 bar = 11.428l, for general assumption 40l/7bar (fuel bar), I know sometimes the bar represent aren't not consistent and accurate
but hey we won't know the correct accuracy unless we zeroed the tank and fill in from the start and then zeroed it back, I'm pretty sure proton has done this thing for us.
We can actually assume 95% of the correct estimation. There are some correction, corrected on the previous calculation.
Fuel Estimation when fill in,

Before Travel
26.8l fuel refill
5.714 fuel left before refill (1 bar left)
______
32.514l total fuel

After Travel
32.514l total fuel
11.428l left after travel
______
21.086l Used
Distance Travel 380KM/21.086l fuel used.
18.024 KM/l

It's seems good to be true though, I'll tested it again this week, going back to perak again this week will record everything on paper.

There were twice where the fuel overflow at just 1st click even I fixed the nozzle gauge at lowest pressure... that's why I never use the 3 clicks method before on this car 

Good car! I've no regret getting it.

Actually, I wanted to buy Bezza for the advertised FC but wife hated it because it backside tonggek (jutting up)!

So, tested the Premium and fall in love with it but found out that it weighted more than 280kg compared with Bezza. For an extra 300cc, Premium needs to carry one quarter of a tonne more!

Lagi teruk, in the same B segment Vios and City are lighter by 100kg but their prices are much heavier. If other companies can make their cars light, Proton can only produce baby elephant???

If I am not mistaken, the Power to Weight Ratio has a bearing on the FC.
That is, it needs more fuel to move all those extra weigh around.

Persona MT is lighter by 55kg compared with Premium! To put it into perspective, against MT, Premium needs to carry 5.5 bags of 10kg rice everyday in the car boot!

I think FC wise, among the Persona variants, MT would be a better option. As for me, I bought the Std (lighter by 35kg) because after driving manual for so long, it would be nice to have a change.

Power to Weight Ratio wise (please let me know if I'm wrong), Persona FC won't be as good as others. So, keep an eye on the Eco Light to get better FC.

Even so, persona comparable to Vios and City, yet still 100kg heavier.

Bezza's crash test showed it scores better than Persona/iriz. Some may say it's a bit of a cheat as lightweight = less momentum, therefore better score performance, but I dunno lar, the data is there.

My fuel indicator showed massive discrepancies again..

Yesterday I Felt excited when 3 bars dropped to 2 bars after 85km distance, 80% highway, no jam in city roads. WOW!!!

.....then  2 bars dropped to 1 bar after the next 30km . ...damn!!

OK. so nothing have changed...thats about 55-58km per bar  like my daily drive to and back office with 60% hiway and 40% city roads with the chronic jam.

Yesterday went test drive the Persona Premium. The engine definitely has enough power, but the CVT is a bit noisy. However, it responds faster than the CVT in my old City. Interior quality is much better than Bezza.
Overall quite impressed. But my wife keeps complaining about the reverse placement of the signal/wiper control sticks. 

CVT user,
my car got weird behaviour,
1)When at "N", and you try to rev it flatuates at 2700-2900rpm like losing power!! and doesn't go beyond 3000rpm.
2)When AC OFF, you rev lets say 2000rpm, than you turn ON AC, it drops to 500-300rpm!

Anyone else car got this behaviour?

I think rev limiter around 3k abit low gua. I thought common car should have rev limiter around 4k RPM during idle?.

Will try tonight and let you know.

300rpm is low. engine supposing nearly off during that time. or you means drop 300-500 rpm from 2k? means around 1.5krpm?

btw, what for to test #2?
