A simple comparison with old Persona AT which has 50L fuel tank vs Persona VVT with 40L fuel tank,

1 full tank can cover similar mileage with the new one considering it has 10L smaller fuel tank.

if compare with myvi ???

Old persona are almost the same fc but u need to pay for the extra 10liter fuel. My std cvt best can go around 380km only 80% city driving from full tank to fuel light up. Average 7.3l/100km. Here are some tips i like to share maybe can help fellow cvt owner for better saving:

- Pump the front tyre 220 psi back 200 psi (70kg driver and 60kg front passenger). If back got passengers or luggage then back add 10~20 psi. Check tyre pressure every 2 weeks.

- Off the aircond when starting the car cold, jalan first and on the aircond when temperature indicator got 2 bar. Lower or off the aircond if not that hot.

- After release the brake from a full stop, let the car move a bit first before accelerate gradually. The key of cvt to save fuel are u need to control the gas pedal well at slow driving. If u press hard the gas pedal at wrong timing, u will tend to bring up the rpm  unnecessarily instead of moving the car faster.

Best fuel brand i tested is petronas 95 as it's give better power at low torque.

like that is not a wise way .... not everyone willing to do that in order to save oil ... so means this car FC still not goood or worst than old my vi .. as i am driving the myvi ... if possible i willing to get new car with similar old my vi FC or better .. not even worst ... anyway thanks for ur tip

I think not everyone is willing to do that coz it REQUIRED SOME EFFORT .  Many drivers wanted consistently good FC in all situations conditions and driving style, which is pretty  much impossible.

The most effortless ways are.... throwing the ball back to other people:

gomen: lower the god damn  petrol price pls
SC staff: please finetune the car and adjust the tyre pressure optimally please. I dont care about the psi thingy its ALL SO DAMN CONFUSING.
*
yes indeed , i think should add a pros for this car .. still bad FC , but better old persona.. thanks for the information .. think i should consider other cars ..

Anyone tried anything to improve fuel comsumption?
Does it even work?
1)Fuel Shark that connects to the smoke plug?
2)Magnets?
3)Nitro OBD2 Performance chip tuning that connects to ECU plug?
4)Add better grounding cables?
5)Add voltage stabilizer?

Personally I think 4&5 has some merits to it, especially when aircond compressor turns on/off, it suddenly draws so much power that even my head light and radio volume dim down and engine harder to rev...but I also heard SC said it will deep fried your ECU unit?

Any pro/Sifu can recommend? or have tried? Will it void warranty even if it's just an addon?

And if the battery died/disconnect, the ECU will reset? what will happen to the car? hmm.gif

whatever u did this car still bad FC ... i think proton hopeless, problem still alot , fc bad for all proton cars ...

Hey guys, I apologize for the delay been busy lately. Im ready to continue with my review on Proton Persona VVT Premium

Full Review:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Summary and Verdict

To summarise, I am dividing the car's features into PROS and CONS as below:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


My Verdict:
When Proton introduced the new Proton Persona VVT, I feel that I can see Proton was desperately trying to change. And they manage to do it well to most aspects. Proton Persona is an all rounder balanced car for the price you are paying.

In my honest opinion a car is always a liability and depreciates in value, this is why I was not willing to spend an extra 17,000 for a low spec Vios. When I drive the car I want to be happy and enjoy all the features and the Proton Persona provides that to me.

It is certainly a value for the money but when you buy this car you will have to be ready to face some quality issues and tolerate the after sale experience.

(Refer to my next post for the After Sale Experience)

can u elaborate more about the quality issues ???

Yes, I did.. In fact, I chased him.. first time encountering such situation, so don't really know what to get from him (noob). Haha..  he don't wanna compensate and asked me to report..mana tau himself didn''t report at the end.. then after that only I was told must get him to admit liability before I can make third party claim.

By the way, which proton center should I go for such accident repair?

Thanks for the attention !
*
if ur car still can run... dun do urself .. u can monitor by consult with the police and urge him to report ... if certain time period the runner no report , the police had to sign a letter and delivery to him for court case , then he had to report back and u can do claim of his insurance .. no need to waste your money first ... just u maybe need to run few times with polices in order to update this

Is the new persona good? Thinking of changing and waiting for raya promo.

But haven't really decided to go for new persona or vios.  My dad prefers that I get a vios but I would prefer not to spend so much on a car...value drop as soon as bawa balik rumah tak yah mahal mahal. janji no problem saja.
*
very easy to let u decide .. u see on the road , how many ppl buy vios compare how many ppl buy the new persona, then u know the answer in which is best for you and reach ur needs

As i know need to put a few days in the SC to let them dissemble the dashboard.

Guys, i just done my first service.. (i opted for the 5 years free service during April), and the service center girl told me the engine oil they provided is semi synthetic which can only until 5k mileage.. and as for the free voucher for the 5 years free service are cover for each 10k mileage only, the girl asked me to come for service on next 5k mileage and i need to pay myself on the service..

As a first time own a proton, i didn't know that actually the semi synthetic oil actually can run until 10k (which the HQ CS claimed so), and i buta2 asked for upgraded to the full synthetic oil to be 10k mileage and paid more than 100, which i don't want to pay for the next each 5k mileage service.. after service only i checked with Proton HQ regarding this, and they said actually the semi engine oil is able to use till 10k mileage.. vmad.gif vmad.gif

Really disappointed with the service center didn't explain clearly, and what they just want is to earn more money from the customer.. mad.gif

For the first owner of proton, please check clearly first before you do your first service, check with HQ before agreed on anything.. dont be like me... bangwall.gif  cry.gif
*
this is marketing trend .... they can change the terms anytime for the free service.. next time take the rebate as much as u can for new car purchase ..

standard auto .

need some advise from you guys,
1. could i change the current crappy radio player for a better 1 without voiding the warranty. the sales person advise me not to thou.
2. during driving i could hear some air sucking sound from the front part, its like when u  suck air loudy (a bit hard to explain).
3. the rear reverse sensor seems to be a bit weird, sometimes it has a long beep even there is nothing behind.

not sure its faulty  =(

Why need Volvo tech for radio & reverse sensor? I'm sure Geely can afford good vendors for Proton which is what they really need. Volvo tech can come later.

no need ..but their current vendor really not good .. so hope geely can improve it
