Heard owner who had both old and new persona,

They said the old Persona with 50L tank can travel the same distance in 1 tank compared with
the new one which have just 40L tank also travel the same distance.

The new one fuel consumption can get really bad if u drive aggressively,
however there is an eco light which can guide u to get good fuel consumption figure,
The problem is if u can resist the urge to drive economically or not
because the acceleration hardly felt in the cabin

20k km service, have to gib some good oil, then the following 2 service use back semi

Cilaka betul new saga MT ratio same with Persona... I tot 1.6 gear ratio can be slightly longer

Up to budget lah... I think every 3rd time service kasi bath sikit good oil... additionally this 20k km service will change air filter, so kasi feel best sikit with fully and let u jelly my improved FC

I did it, don't think will void as the change is small

Dui... dun look at that Forester lah.. ayam also enjoice the Persona MT with 195/55/15 triplemax

UR bar first requirement is to ensure less than 50% driving are with eco light lit

Probably campro is more efficient at higher RPM, the gear ratio wasn't that long... have to admit the engine is not as efficient as T & H

So at highway speed engine will roar abit

Having longer gear ratio not necessarily resulting in lower fuel consumption, its more about how to balance the engine output with the ratio, but nvh definitely will be lower if ratio is longer.

However, longer gear ratio also result in poorer acceleration and power too which require frequent ratio shifting which might result in heating up the belt easily due to more frictions when shifting ratio frequently. However at highway speed the noise is ok I would say, unless you have decided to go much beyond the highway speed then that's different.

Lastly, fuel consumption and engine's capability is not this car's forte, I believe most who bought this car is for the safety feature and coupled with its affordability too.

rattling need send to SC or if u want DIY, mayb can get one of these


The reverse sensor sound was ok to me, u wind down windows when driving? However, beware of the sensor, it respond a bit slow thou...

Just ignore that, if u see through the Persona thread from V1, he will appear once a while to submit his homework by just to throw in some insult or mocking Persona

HAF charcoal berapa? Maybe this can solve the smelly issue

U apa pun mock mia la... kan?

Aish.. missed out... but my RM12 air filter also duno went where already

remember I told them to make the lock/unlock button light brighter? Instead I think my map light macam got brighter

Map light is referring to the one on the roof, u also can set it to light up when door is open/when u just entered the car.

Yeap, the lock/unlock button is the orange light beside the double signal

Oh... that complain I added in later one... in phone call, like the list wasn't long enough

The MT in Persona don't have those push back feel like we drove the other car before, but u do see the speed is picking up at the same pace.
So i would say the MT is very comfy and smooth instead of very aggressive push back feel, your passenger can barely feel you change gear or realizing u driving a MT because the engagement is so damn smooth compared to other MT

Power is there, just that you don't get the G-force because the car masked that feeling

If you are the type who look for the G-Force... sorry lah, its more like made for comfy instead

Anyway, soft clutch an issue now? I thought soft clutch was good especially if u have to deal with traffic? By the way the throw is pretty short too compared to other MT car

Not to forget Proton recent gear box have slightly shorter 1-4 speed ratio which translates to better pickup, however 5th gear ratio is longer which cruise at about 103km/h at 3k rpm based on calculation, quite common for 5th gear.

I'm not city drive, this Persona only have 40L tank as opposed to gen which is 10L more

My drive includes 30% city and 70% highway with eco light on most of the time, I can easily hit 15km/l and reaching 500km the fuel light just lit

U may appreciate the slightly shoter 1-4th gear where there is many slopes that u need 3rd gear to climb can be done with 4th with this Persona

Yea, its like a relationship of love and hate, love the smooth engagement and comfort, but a bit potong stim without the g-force, however passenger enjoice
Its quite different compared to those older MT we drove before
