Periodic Inspection message
user posted image
OMG OMG OMG What is this Periodic Inspection? Why like that? what to do? Problem again?
>>Its perfectly fine, our baby just seeking for some attention, usually came at 500km before service due or date, whichever comes first
[quote=alanyuppie,Apr 4 2017, 09:30 AM]Periodic inspection msg is NOT A WARNING. But A REMINDER.

I noticed that when something different appeared at that tiny LED panel beside showing the normal status (like gear mode,  FC level/distance)  ... many drivers felt panicky and think something is going south / wrong. hahha...

Notice that the sound proof if getting weak??!! Can heard the outside car or motorbike sound very loud like not close the windows...

Need to add more rubber on the side of the doors?

Material only for whole car around RM190 (4pc of Damping material ;1 PC sound absorber; 1 PC sound isolator
All above is 12" X 16" size), for my understanding this RM190 sure not enuf for cover whole 4 doors with hood and boot...include workmanship maybe can reach RM250-300

That is my contact in KL/Selangor...Here in Sabah hard to get that price I think...

Good price rm198 including installations. But this is more suitable to bezza, persona hood and boot got ori soundproof ady. Car roof soundproof are for rainning, u will heard sound "tuk tuk" instead of "tung tung" if got pasted sound damping inside the roof.

IP kit not necessary will improve , only solve some issues on the dashboard. About window u can ask SC to refix the window runner channel.

If you want good sound proof at least door need add sound proof but proton dint add into door.

According to my sales agent it is within 2 weeks for my STD variant. But that also depends on the color. My one is graphite grey.

Ayam faham... 185/60/15 is not that preferable compared to 195... but I already satisfied with 185... wonder if 195 will make it slugglish and obviously more fuel consuming or not hmm.gif

By the way, 185 only have 3 grooves for water evacuation... 195 have 4 grooves, better aquaplanning management? brows.gif

Just to share perhaps can add to the first page on Plus and Minus compared to Iriz:

Minus:
1. Iriz has map and cabin lamps, Persona only cabin lamp.
2. Iriz has adjustable rear seat headrests
3. Iriz used to come with 195/55/15 tyres vs Persona's 185/60/15 tyres.
4. Iriz used to come with auto up/down driver window, Persona only auto down.

Plus (what I feel is):
1. Persona has remote boot opening (does Iriz have this? I remember their Premium key is diff)
2. Persona interior is two-toned vs all-black in Iriz
3. Persona Multi-info display is white-on-dark blue vs Iriz's orange-on-black
4. All other Persona plus points as outlined wink.gif

Just my 2 cents to help those deciding to differentiate the Iriz from Persona besides the additional boot.

Anyway guys, does the central locking/unlocking button on the dash backlit? It's stupidly dark when you're driving at night and someone not familiar to your car is trying to unlock the doors for you.

It's backlit for the front parking aid activation button, it's backlit for the hazard light toggling switch, it's backlit for the ESP deactivation switch, but why not the freaking central locking/unlocking button??? mad.gif

Mine is totally DARK, not DIM, but pitch black dark, no light at all. And I wasn't referring to the LED light, I was referring to the backlit of the buttons.

Just to share perhaps can add to the first page on Plus and Minus compared to Iriz:

Minus:
1. Iriz has map and cabin lamps, Persona only cabin lamp.
2. Iriz has adjustable rear seat headrests
3. Iriz used to come with 195/55/15 tyres vs Persona's 185/60/15 tyres.
4. Iriz used to come with auto up/down driver window, Persona only auto down.

Plus (what I feel is):
1. Persona has remote boot opening (does Iriz have this? I remember their Premium key is diff)
2. Persona interior is two-toned vs all-black in Iriz
3. Persona Multi-info display is white-on-dark blue vs Iriz's orange-on-black
4. All other Persona plus points as outlined wink.gif

Just my 2 cents to help those deciding to differentiate the Iriz from Persona besides the additional boot.
*
You comparing old iriz ? New Iriz is change a lot of thing. Almost identical to Persona. smile.gif

Yup, this is true. In fact, the new Iriz lost out alot compared to the persona. Especially at the highest spec you only get semi-leather seats.

For me what i feel is really necessary to add to the Persona is:
1. Decent armrest
2. Map Lights
3. Rear seat headrests
4. Auto-up driver's window

Other than that, dare i say the Persona is probably the best B-segment out there and i'm not saying that just for the price point, it is smartly designed. Take for example:

1. You auto-fold your mirrors, they auto-unfold as your speed builds up past 20kmh. Freaking smart.
2. Your passenger unlocks one door (by pulling the door handle once to unlock, again to open), and after they alighted, your car auto-locks itself after you speed past 20kmh. Freaking smart.
3. You pull your wiper stalk to spray wiper wash on your windscreen, and your wiper wipes twice. Few seconds later, it auto-wipes again another time just to be sure it's clean. Freaking smart.
4. You put your wiper speed at the highest (fastest) setting, and as you slow to a stop at the traffic light, instead of letting your fast moving wipers annoy you, your wiper automatically adjusts its speed to slow down. Once you speed back up, it wipes fast again. Freaking smart.
5. You left your key in the boot after you close your boot. Your car honks. Freaking smart.

These are just a few examples, and mine is a Premium btw. For these examples, Proton could've just used a much simpler system instead of smartly designing it to suit users better. At this price-point and segment, such control systems are rare for trivial items like this.

Got a few more smart features i think should be the same with persona (mine's iriz)

This is not so smart feature that all standard car should have. Turning on map light manually but u forgot to turn it off. After u lock the car the map light also turn off to prevent batt drain

Oh yeah for those model without auto light the speedo will sound beep non stop to indicate that u have not turn off the lights after u remove the car keys after ignition is off.

Individual indicator for all 4 door sensors, boot and bonet. Annoys u to death if u decide to continue driving. It stops beeping when u stop the car.

Car key and 12v batt check when u start the car

The high beam is not mechanically toggled on/off. Its a single switch. It will return to low beam next time u turn on to prevent u from turning on the headlamp with high beam. Fog lamps defaults to off after u start the car.

was your passenger less than 50kg? i have a problem with mine also. whenever my wife sits, it never detected. but whenever someone heavier than her sits, the sensor works. sent to sc for checking they say nothing wrong so i assume if someone light sits in front it will not detect.

See the attached picture...

I'm talking about this central locking/unlocking button which does not have any backlit at all. When the doors are locked, only the orange LED lights up, the door symbol is not backlit.

Why can't they make all the buttons to have backlit when the lights are turned on? Or am I the only one with this problem? hmm.gif

Mine is not lit as well. Only the orange LED will light up once the car is locked.

No idea why they want to implement this way. Maybe no space to put the 2nd light, haha?

Can someone suggest me a good LCD to replace my default STD audio unit? Very noob here. Looking for:
Able to play song from CD
Able to play song from USB
Able to play song from my phone (through Bluetooth?)
Able to display Android screen (is this possible?)
Plug and play

Also, is it possible to add the steering wheel control button with this LCD system? If so, will it void my warranty?

Just want to share this here and I don't know if anyone has faced this problem before but the SC that I went told me that I'm the first one with this problem.

So my fuel meter was only 1 bar and it was blinking. I went to Petron, turned off the engine and refueled RM70-00 petrol. Then when I start the car, I noticed that the fuel meter did not go up but I thought it might need some time to adjust the meter.

Somehow after I drove my car for around 10km, the fuel meter was still at 1 bar and eventually it went up to 2-bar. I got confused because the fuel meter was supposed to be full.

I decided to visit the nearest SC and the Service Advisor said he never encountered such problem and he said they will check it first.

After 2 hours something, he called me back and informed me that they just opened up the float (pelampung minyak) and somehow it solved the problem and the fuel meter showed the correct reading.

The SA asked me to drive the car for a while and if the same problem occurred again, he asked me to visit the SC again.

Oh BTW, my car's mileage is around 5k.

Just want to share this here and I don't know if anyone has faced this problem before but the SC that I went told me that I'm the first one with this problem.

So my fuel meter was only 1 bar and it was blinking. I went to Petron, turned off the engine and refueled RM70-00 petrol. Then when I start the car, I noticed that the fuel meter did not go up but I thought it might need some time to adjust the meter.

Somehow after I drove my car for around 10km, the fuel meter was still at 1 bar and eventually it went up to 2-bar. I got confused because the fuel meter was supposed to be full.

I decided to visit the nearest SC and the Service Advisor said he never encountered such problem and he said they will check it first.

After 2 hours something, he called me back and informed me that they just opened up the float (pelampung minyak) and somehow it solved the problem and the fuel meter showed the correct reading.

The SA asked me to drive the car for a while and if the same problem occurred again, he asked me to visit the SC again.

Oh BTW, my car's mileage is around 5k.
*
Looks like the fuel float issue. Either the float arm is jammed, or a faulty potentiometer in the fuel sender unit. Get it changed and should be able to solve the problem. wink.gif

Thank you for your suggestion. thumbsup.gif

Should the problem occur again I will ask the SC to check those parts and if necessary, to replace it.

See the attached picture...

I'm talking about this central locking/unlocking button which does not have any backlit at all. When the doors are locked, only the orange LED lights up, the door symbol is not backlit.

Why can't they make all the buttons to have backlit when the lights are turned on? Or am I the only one with this problem?  hmm.gif

I also have the same brake sound problem, but only sometimes. Mostly during medium braking on downhill road, or sometimes when braking from 40 km/h to stop.
Went to SC before, but they couldn't replicate the problem that day, so they can't fix it.

I got 3.18 from Affin for persona exec, 90% loan for 9 year. My SA said that the lowest is from BSN which is 3.15%.

Have you try kuwait finance house? Heard from FB group that they can offer even lower.

If yes, then premium. Else, take standard then install the reverse camera that you want.

for me, i take the exec spec as I only want the 60:40 split of the backseat. really come handy when I want to move a long item. haha.

I think it is better to decide on what accessories you want to get on the car.

Like my case, I chose Premium due to:
- Additional air bag
- Keyless entry system and Push Start-Stop
- Reverse camera

My minimum requirement was Executive since I really want the multimedia control on the steering wheel but after some thought why not just top up 5k to get premium version.

Of course some people may opt Standard and add their desired accessories but I am a lazy person haha tongue.gif

I never use the Navigation from day 1 since I prefer to use Waze.

To add on, after getting the Premium version , I do appreciate the lane switching feature (only available in Premium variant if I remember correctly) as well.

The lane signal stick (don't know the term. could be switch)

Instead of fully press down when you want to turn left (Left signal), you just press down a little bit (about half way point), the indicator will start light up on for 5 times (the tak-tak sound only 5 times).

Useful when want to switch lane. No need to fully press down and pull up again when I want to switch between different lanes.

No wonder laa when I tested the car, the direction indicator worked exactly like what you guys were saying, with half pressed the signal will blink 5 times, nice feature for switching lane or overtaking cars. But when I got my car which is a Standard variant, this feature is missing. Dafuq?! ranting.gif

The lane signal stick (don't know the term. could be switch)

Instead of fully press down when you want to turn left (Left signal), you just press down a little bit (about half way point), the indicator will start light up on for 5 times (the tak-tak sound only 5 times).

Useful when want to switch lane. No need to fully press down and pull up again when I want to switch between different lanes.

it's called indicator stalk
ohh it has this extra function!

driver can press down half a click, light only up 5 times
dunno if aftermarket can mod this function or not??    hmm.gif  hmm.gif

Only today do I know that this a Premium-exclusive feature!

Also note that only Premium seats have back-pocket. Can anyone confirm?

For me, if can afford go Premium all the way. Some features are just not something aftermarket can simply implement, case in point is the additional airbag and keyless system.

Usually I would recommend either Standard or Premium, if u can afford exec, no point for not going for Premium with just few thousand extra for the extra safety and more fancy feature that can't be added at accessory shop.

Not sure what u mean process is not smooth ? rpm rev up to 1.5k is normal for cold start as require more fuel to warm the car . U can complaint to SC see what they say.

Exec has the short signal as well as front seat rear pockets. Keyless system can be done aftermarket on lower variants but no warranty if it kaputs for some reason.

maybe u test drove the more luxurious variant, like premium,

u also like this feature huh?

let's research if possible to add on aftermarket,

test drive unit always use better car one, want to test drive manual trans also quite impossible
*
Yea mate, that's a nice feature but I'd prefer 3 blinks instead of 5 blinks, a little too long in my opinion. Sometimes you've mistakenly triggered it and wanna cancel the signal, but have to wait for so long before the signal stops.

Well as you know all test drive units are always the highest spec (Premium). You wanna test the MT version? That's literally impossible. The only way they could let you test the MT version is with customer's car (while waiting for customer to collect their new car). Sad huh? dry.gif

I could only hear a "tak" sound from your attached video clip at 0:02. Did the sound appear when you start the engine WITHOUT turning on the A/C during cold start? If the sound doesn't exist with the A/C OFF, then most probably it's the groaning noise from the A/C system, which is pretty normal in my opinion. And a short rev to 1.5k rpm during cold start is pretty normal too, as the engine is still cold and requires more engine load to bring up the engine temperature.

Maybe that's me u saw, my std changed to 3 inch antenna even shorter than the premium type, bought from lazada rm17 only.. tongue.gif .
The best exclusive features of the premium variant are the leather seats, the quality even better than the vios sportivo edition.
The wiper size are 20 inch and 21 inch U hook type, for budget can get bosch clear advantage around rm25++ only at lazada.

Does anyone knows how to dismantle the left and right AC vent and AC knob plastic panel?

They are making noise very frequent each time on uneven road.

If I use my fingers to press on them, noise will reduced.

I am thinking of fixing it myself or does anyone have experience in fixing them in SC, if so, how do they fix that?

To remove the aircond knob panel i think u need to remove the head unit first. Dont do it by yourself, tell the sa at service center next time u service or ask accessories shop to fix for some fees.

Just went for first service. Not very happy right now. The service staff at the counter told me that i have free 5 years service. Ok. Good. Then she say the free service only eligible for semi synthetic oil. Ok. Good. Now here comes the nt very happy part.

She told me if i would like to upgrade to fully synthetic. I say its ok and i would stick to the free semi synthetic. Then she say ur next service would be 10,000 km or 6 months. But semi synthetic only can last the most 5,000 km. If there is any problem in ur car if u travel more than 5,000 km, then its ur fault. What!!!

Is she threatening me to upgrade?? What u all think?? On the other hand, if proton knows the semi synthetic cant handle till 10,000 km, why implement it as free service? And charge customer by upgrading to fully synthetic?? Some of u will say come on, only add a few ringgit... What the fuss!! But..if there are customer that are nt well to do as myself who depends on the free service, then this makes me wry whether that semi synthetic oil is sufficient or nt..

Dont want to make this a big issue. Just want to knw whether semi synthetic ia good enough for 10,000 km.. coz she scared me by telling me my car will spoiled and all that shit.. thanks guys for the reply. Now feeling better. Will definately change sc next time. I dont think they earn any single cents from proton by giving us free service. Thats why they pushing us to upgrade. Think so...

semi synthetic is actually ok for 10k. personally i wouldn't go more than 10k, for me it would have done enough lubricating that long

that's no threatening from her, man

she probably exaggerated a bit, kinda like a scare tactic

they do get paid providing us services for proton, what she did was just basically upselling better and more expensive engine oils

she did it badly though, full of bs like only good for 5k interval.....

one thing for sure, do what you like or you think is right and leave, another service done there for preserving 5 years warranty

authorized workshops or direct proton sc, proton sure pay them for serving proton buyers, especially for this thing 5 years free service offered by Proton

Hey guys what are ur fuel consumption on the persona? rclxms.gif rclxms.gif From full tank to fuel reserve indicator light coming is 483.1km (80%highway 20% jam) for me. These are my calculations:
483.1KM / 34L petrol = 14.2KM/L

14.2KM/L = 7.04L/100KM

The fuel consumption of this car is pretty good in my opinion but it can be better. I was driving at constant 85-90kmh most of the time and also my throttle input is as minimal as possible to get up to speed. But the in car fuel consumption display panel shows 6.2L/100km haha i think they are too optimistic.

Just went for first service. Not very happy right now. The service staff at the counter told me that i have free 5 years service. Ok. Good. Then she say the free service only eligible for semi synthetic oil. Ok. Good. Now here comes the nt very happy part.

She told me if i would like to upgrade to fully synthetic. I say its ok and i would stick to the free semi synthetic. Then she say ur next service would be 10,000 km or 6 months. But semi synthetic only can last the most 5,000 km. If there is any problem in ur car if u travel more than 5,000 km, then its ur fault. What!!!

Is she threatening me to upgrade?? What u all think?? On the other hand, if proton knows the semi synthetic cant handle till 10,000 km, why implement it as free service? And charge customer by upgrading to fully synthetic?? Some of u will say come on, only add a few ringgit... What the fuss!! But..if there are customer that are nt well to do as myself who depends on the free service, then this makes me wry whether that semi synthetic oil is sufficient or nt..

High pressure sales tactic is not really ethical imo, anyway even if u dont report later proton will call u up to do survey about SC u went to, regarding quality of service desk, that's how u can help upkeep the standard of SC

Hi all,

During the last month Proton's fair, we put in a booking fee of RM100 - initially for an Iriz.
After a test drive session, my wife changed her mine and wants a Persona instead.
When come to colour selection, the SA asked to add to RM500 if we choose red. - The excuse is that the colour is high in demand.
Is this for real?

biggrin.gif erm negative feedbacks erm not really much, just when u collect ur car check everything's like paint (every single corner), chassis no, test every single features ensure is working properly, drive for 1km or 1 round to test engine and transmission working properly.

lastly, if you get 5 years free service, ask ur salesman whether he already insert the voucher code into Proton System anot.

BTW new persona campro VVTi engine is new, but it is the best engine i ever experience. from many cars i had before. from 1300cc to 3100cc. the comparison with this price range t beat any car in the market today.

Comfortable just less than 5% comparing to latest Toyota Vios, Honda Jazz and City.

the entry level of each model mentioned is totally same interior.

on the road condition with speed boost up, this persona make me feel i has little turbo feeling. for take over a truck at 90kmph it take only 2 sec frm boost up to end.

whistling.gif if reset ecu does improve FC , I already done long time ago. I already tried once , still the same with same traffic condition and same road. Your case most likely is because the SC reset ecu and u straight away drive in highway , try drive fully city and see if whether improve anot if yes come back and tell me.

I think by just tightening screws the rattling noise will still be making a return after some time. I remembered when I just collected the car, it was all right until a few weeks later.

I am thinking of bringing my own car use cloth tape for them to tape down any possible rattling part in it. On a side note, occasionally there is a spring rattling noise inside HU area and door rattling noise. Both of them are not happening frequently so I am still able to tolerate until it became worsen then I will voice out to SC. But for AC panel and AC air vents, they are really annoying as it is always there to make noise.

You have some contact with SC ppl? btw, I am from JB and would it be too far for you to reach out your help?

I think by just tightening screws the rattling noise will still be making a return after some time. I remembered when I just collected the car, it was all right until a few weeks later.

I am thinking of bringing my own car use cloth tape for them to tape down any possible rattling part in it. On a side note, occasionally there is a spring rattling noise inside HU area and door rattling noise. Both of them are not happening frequently so I am still able to tolerate until it became worsen then I will voice out to SC. But for AC panel and AC air vents, they are really annoying as it is always there to make noise.

You have some contact with SC ppl? btw, I am from JB and would it be too far for you to reach out your help?
*
Tightening screws so far I don't encounter the rattling sound from the AC Panel anymore, just from other place and I DIY for other place. So far reduce a lot the noise. Try voice out all noise let them fix it rather wait , because sooner u will not tolerate anymore because it will getting worse.

Sorry not really have those contact with SC. biggrin.gif Oh I see, I can show u where u should tighten only then.

Is it true no black and white will give to confirm my option for 5 years free service? What need to check upon receive the car beside exterior look such as scratch?

Yea mate, that's a nice feature but I'd prefer 3 blinks instead of 5 blinks, a little too long in my opinion. Sometimes you've mistakenly triggered it and wanna cancel the signal, but have to wait for so long before the signal stops.

This, I fully agree. Especially when you want to change your mind about changing lane.

The signal stalk can actually cancel. After 2 blinks, if you wish to cancel, just push it the opposite direction. And yes i do agree, 3 blinks not sufficient. 5 blinks close to perfect. If 4.5 blinks that'll be perfect tongue.gif

Not sure if I am the only one have the feeling like Proton SC people is trying to brush off problems when you tell them. I have been to two SCs and I even wrote in to complaint one of their staff in a SC.

For the coming service, I am going to try 3rd SC to see if they are better in solving problems.

Saga VVT any different with FLX MT? because my Persona is so different compared with Saga FLX MT, the gear stick is tight on Persona VVT, gear shift is smooth and clutch throw is shorter too... lastly, the acceleration don't feel rough in the car biggrin.gif

By the way is Saga VVT using same gear ratio with Persona VVT?

no that one is gear throw, much longer and loose throw on saga flx and vvt. its the same but a bit different ratio and final drive.

for persona i think gear throw similar to preve mt. so should more tight and short throw hehe. preve mt and persona vvt also different ratio i can confirm this last time i saw persona vvt mt.final.drive is 4.0.

now im looking for saga vvt and persona vvt mt gearbox for my preve haha

Thanks for your prior advice.

The car is higher than I thought.
Good handling. Solid.
Love the clutch based cvt. some may hate it but I love the delay before the acceleration. Made me think of my first car daddykasi 30 year old Toyota corona MT.

Heard a bit of window rattling front pessanger side. Minor but I no rike
I notice also the car breathing like gas sound from aircond. Is this normal? Lol
Also body feels abit soft compared to my old dugong Vios.
Fuel lid feels cheap

There's really no telling which one is more reliable since both cars are still very new to the market and how reliable it is depends on your luck. However, both cars seem to have good engine reliability from what I see. They're also good value for money but the Bezza is more fuel efficient whereas the Persona has a bit more safety features(also more expensive). You just have to figure out which one is more important to you(FC vs safety) as well as things like maintenance cost etc. have to factor in as well.

Well said. So it is depends on whether I want to save some money to get a cheaper Bezza (but ugly) or pay a bit more for a better looking Pesona.
Thanks for your comments.

Compare with Bezza, which car is more reliable and value for money? Appreciate comments from users before I commit myself with Pesona Premium spec.

Depends what u looking for the new car. I'll sum up like this:

If u want Fuel save, more city drive and resale value, go for Bezza.

If u looking for everything else like Safety, comfort, big seat, stable highway drive, then go for Persona.

In short, maximize money saving = Bezza

Everything else = Persona

Let's take reliability aside since both is still new.

When going for the Bezza (1.3), do consider that it has the auto start-stop feature which cant be disabled. The reliability of that technology is still untested for that segment and application as it is different from the start-stop higher end cars are using IMO.

Just my 2cents, no offense to anyone.

1. when crossing bump
2. if not mistaken when reverse

FYI, the auto start stop feature can be disable with a push of a button. there is a button to disable it.

Persona is almost 100kg heavier than high spec City or Vios and the engine tech isn't as up to date too, especially that the engine is mostly cast iron instead of aluminium which is a lot lighter.

If the engine is more efficient and lighter then it'll be much better value wise. Right now it's only average.

Thanks. After checking the manual. It seems we have to turn off the engine and turn on the light. It will then on for 30 seconds. Check owners manual page 88 bottom mid.

Actually there is a reason for it,

ESC will kick in if it detects all your wheels is not spinning evenly (which possibly due to lost traction) so it will brake those wheels individually to get back traction.

So if say your car is stucked in the mud, 4 wheels spin differently, ESC will kick in unnecessarily that time to avoid 1 wheel spinning faster than the other, but you need that wheel spin to get out of the mud, so this is the time where you have to turn off the ESC

I have the issue with the headlamp stalk too, I can't flash the high beam, only turn on/off. Even the slightest pull will turn the high beam on. Another stupid design... bangwall.gif

If the car's headlights are off, pulling the stalk will flash the high beam.

If the car's headlights are on, pulling the stalk turns on the high beam, and it stays on until you pull the stalk again.

Follow Me Home - when the car is locked, press the lock button again. The indicator lights will blink, and the small headlights will turn on for a while. Whoops, mistake. Follow Me Home is to turn on and off the headlights once engine is turned off.

All this based on Executive variant.

Yes you're right for the headlamp part. Somehow still prefer Perodua's headlamp stalk, whereby you push the stalk to the back to turn on the high beam, so you won't get any mistakes when flashing the high beam.

Does Follow Me Home function available for Standard variant?

I think the manual meant the sensor will beep slowly when it starts to detect an object. It won't beep if nothing is around the sensor. So if you reverse and nothing is in the way, it won't beep.

actually if u take 9 years loan be careful with ur sum covered.

many people that i know had to total.lost and still have remaining of their loan.

due to under insured value they opt to.

Driving Standard CVT graphite grey for 2 weeks. Everything is good except:

1) sometimes aircond got kluk kluk sound when switched on during start up
2) fuel lid is slightly distorted
3) wiper nozzle sprays water in the middle of windscreen. Shouldn't it be higher like upper middle part?

Bdw, I don't see any USB port in my car (except on the radio). Is it true also for all STD variants?

Standard variant doesn't have extra USB, only on radio. Executive and premium have those feature. Whats regret thing buying standard is foldable seat, I really wish I have this feature, when going out door bringing my mountain bike is such a hassle cry.gif

To me the foldable seat is not really that important. But to protect the car luggage trunk, I bought a luggage tray online.
The original boot in STD variant has no plastic floor mat, which can get dirty very easily.

The brochure says STD variant use 15"x6.0J wheels while the premium uses 15"x6.5 wheels. does that means maximum tyre width is 195? I've emailed proton and they didn't confirm any size, just saying inquire your nearest SC about the questions I have. My question was, do SC sell 15"x6.5j and if it is supplied and fitted by proton themselves, will it void the warranty? I really don't want to hassle and go the sc until the next service

Last time I checked, the wheels dimension for all variant is same. But there are some leaked information saying that the premium variant will receive different rim (taken from Iriz model).

Dashboard rattling sounds? Its can be solved at SC, but not 100% it will eliminate. smile.gif definitely it will reduce

Just to remind some SC might need u to leave the car if really need open whole dashboard out to fix it.

SC can identify and fix the common places that rattle but cannot guarantee that it'll be noise free anymore nor will they can permanently fix the rattling that happens in hard to spot areas.

In other words, cannot be totally solved.

You cannot see passenger side as much as driver side, hence there's more range of adjustment on passenger side mirror. It's probably by design.

A SERIOUS QUESTION.

I would like to have the members opinion regarding the dilemma I'm facing now.

I'm currently owning 2014 Toyota Altis 1.8G (no monthly commitment).

What do you say, is it a wise choice, if I let go of Altis, and get myself a 2017 Proton Persona Premium?

Safety wise, Persona tops Altis at reasonable price.

1.6L is enough for me. Main reason being is that I feel like paying more for things that i don't need.

So, enlighten me with your thoughts regarding my Dilemma.

Thanks 😊

Change from 3 years old Altis to Persona just for safety? Quite non sense if you ask me. How do you know persona is safer? Because of the safety rating? If yes Persona even safer than Camry, but do you believe it?

As what i mentioned, main reason being was that i feel I'm paying for things that i don't need.

Meaning I'm downgrading. Safety features on persona were just equipments that "WOWS" me on reasonable price. Rm119k don't have it, but rm46k has it.

U r right bro,, definitely new persona are really better then altis if compare spec to spec ...

Even u r right saying that now are paying thing u don't needed ..
But u r not just recently using Toyota altis not more then 3 years ...

So I think u should keep the altis or brought another new persona as 2nd car ...

I'm assuming your Toyota altis is have outstanding balance at bank ?

smile.gif this is does not relate to engine specs, is relate to the throttle body, even campro iafm+ also can install e throttle controller.

Thus, this give u control how aggressive is the pedal response on throttle control. Depend on what u have set the mode, e throttle usually give u 3 mode which is eco, normal and pro/performance mode.

If for me I won't go make myself to debts the bank again and go back to repaying the loan life since I have 2014 altis already.

No points to go get Persona and trade in ur altis, not worth at all. unless u are driving 2006 vios then u might can consider.

I did actually experience the pusingpusing before with altis(hydroplaning). Thankfully not to severe and no accident.

One of the reason as well contributed to this dilemma.

For me, 2nd car is not necessary at the moment.

And the altis is fully paid. So if i were to sell of this car and get persona, i would get the new car + extra cash as well.

Given your altis only 3y and no outstanding loan... if dont really need cash urgently no point to swap.

Specwise, of cuz new persona will win hands down, cause new technology appear everyday. But spec only looks good if u compare it on paper. U have overlook another important aspect, which is implementation and workmanship of the manufacturer.

Dont rely on what u read on the spec sheet alone.

A SERIOUS QUESTION.

I would like to have the members opinion regarding the dilemma I'm facing now.

I'm currently owning 2014 Toyota Altis 1.8G (no monthly commitment).

What do you say, is it a wise choice, if I let go of Altis, and get myself a 2017 Proton Persona Premium?

Safety wise, Persona tops Altis at reasonable price.

1.6L is enough for me. Main reason being is that I feel like paying more for things that i don't need.

So, enlighten me with your thoughts regarding my Dilemma.

Thanks 😊

Thanks for your thoughts.

For me, 2nd car is not necessary at the moment.

And the altis is fully paid. So if i were to sell of this car and get persona, i would get the new car + extra cash as well.

smile.gif I mean after u sell altis and get persona. smile.gif and just to remind resell value on proton is not very good compare to toyota, perodua and etc.

If u thinking again ,would you sell the persona after 2 to 3 years ?

Safety wise, yes, new persona safer than ur altis bcoc ESC. But be prepared with inferior finishing quality compared to ur altis, not life threatening though


1.6L is enough for me. Main reason being is that I feel like paying more for things that i don't need.

What do u mean? Ur altis no hutang already. Is it maintenance, insurance? Roadtax xbnyk beza between 1.6 and 1.8
FC.. haha..don’t know.. comparable or even altis 1.8 2014 slightly better than new persona kott


So, enlighten me with your thoughts regarding my Dilemma.

Win a bit? Don’t underestimate the importance of ESC
Due to esc, new persona safety better than altis 1.8 2014

Engine, finishing quality, comfort etc altis 1.8 2014 betterlah. Boleh menyesal weii downgrade from altis 2014 1.8 to new persona.. till ESC new persona saves ur day

Well, we have no right to judge which is right and which is wrong... in the end of the day it depends on what u value more...

Your most solid reason for selling Altis and get Persona is the Safety of the persona, everything else should be Altis having the upper hand.

In the end of the day it still boils down to what you value the most, Safety? Reputation? Status? Cost?

Switching from Altis to Persona is a downgrade as well if you don't mind people asking you why... still there's no right or wrong, its about what u value the most, who knows the Persona might get to save your life or you may not even encounter any collision with the Persona for the coming years? Its not up to us to say

We wouldn't know if our decision is right or wrong until something happened or did not happen throughout your life thumbsup.gif

I did actually experience the pusingpusing before with altis(hydroplaning). Thankfully not to severe and no accident.

One of the reason as well contributed to this dilemma.

I understand how you feel. Spun out and faced traffic on a main road during rain before and survived without accident or incident in a car with little safety features.

If it matters to you and you haven't done so already, invest in good tires. Especially those with good wet handling characteristics.

I suggest to keep the car as well. Reason being
1) It was fully paid so no more commitment
2) Altis less headache, probably can last another 7years without major issues
3) It is still a safe car with good crash rating, only minus the traction control.
4) Altis 2014 RV should'nt be that high anymore since the new altis has traction control as standard now. So probably you can only get 75k for it. Basically u only get back ~15k if change to Persona premium.
5) Fuel consumption wise, Altis more efficient.

The only pros that i can think about is that since u downsize the car, basically road tax, tyres, insurance, and maintenance cost shall reduce as well. If you want to downsize to save some money might as well get the bezza/axia at 40k and keep the 35k cash instead tongue.gif

I wonder why some owners manage to get 14 to 15 or even 16 km per liter but not for me. Based on my manual calculation, my 3 months plus old (clocked at 6100+km) Persona standard cvt only manage to get 12+km per liter. The fc show on the multi info display is not accurate at all. It show 7.2 liter/100km which equivalent to 13.89 km/liter. My method to calculate is refuel until the nozzle stop, drive and refuel again until the nozzle stop. When I tell my friends my fc, they thought I'm driving a D segment car. LoL

12km/l on city, highway or mixed.

If mostly in city then it's not too bad but if on highway/mixed then not good enough.

The FC Average is not really accurate one, already mentioned is FC Average. So you need calculate yourself. Other owner they can get 14 to 16km per liter if they 90% highway with no jam then is able to achieve.

If fully city , if still manage to get 14km per liter. I think mine car got problem already. smile.gif

Mixed but more on highway/smooth traffic. Even I travel from kl back to my hometown with speed around 110 and 120, the fc improve not much. I don't know what problem with my car. May be reset ecu would help?

Before my 1st service, average fc is around 6.4 to 6.6l/100km on multi info display. After 1st service, it never fall below 7.1l/100km. T.T

Ya. I know the fc average is just for reference. The outcome of my manual calculation is even worse. My fc in the past week was 12+km/liter. Last week the traffic was so smooth due to holiday and I still get this kind of shit figure. Haiz.

The car itself is ok. Good handling, sufficient power from the engine, stable, and comfortable(for this price range). Just the FC is quite high for a B segment car. May be is my car problem? Who knows?

Watch out your driving behavior too, light foot vs heavy foot shows very significant different on this car.

How much RPM are u at during normal acceleration? better to keep it low like not more than 2k RPM and keep the eco light on most of the time as a guidelines too

Mine is MT, mostly getting 15km/l, mix highway and city 70% and 30% but no jam involved, I don't drive too slow too, mostly on fast lane 70%

I don't accelerate hard. Usually the RPM is around or slightly below 2k during acceleration unless driving uphill.

I think every persona also having this pitch sound after engine off. smile.gif I believe is related to VVT with canister purge valve , because I heard also throttle body gate or valve it open on and off few times.

Wah drop a lot, for me I will take the highest sum insured which is 48k, as Premium previous sum insured is 57k when u purchase the car. smile.gif

Always recommend sum insured need to be more than market value price , https://www.carbase.my/tool/car-market-value-guide (just for your references only)

As the differences between you total insurances premium between 48k and 40k sum insured like rm 110+-. Plus I think you will have NCD discount for first year

May I know how is the drive for Manual Persona?
I am considering an upgrade from CVT Iriz

I like the MT drive and its gear ratio setup, shorter 1-4th gear ratio compared to most similar car, made 4th gear quite powerful for hill climb and a rather ordinary 5th gear ratio setup setting the 4th and 5th gear slightly far apart, but u get an economical highway drive, but I hope it could be longer thou... 6 speed gearbox is a better solution to this anyway biggrin.gif

If you're with an Iriz, I would suggest you to keep the Iriz instead since the Persona wasn't a huge upgrade but just refinements from Iriz... not really worth thou

quotes u can get by contacting the insurance company. just make sure u have the copy of registration card with u. can also try myeg. lower sum insured means cheaper premium but cheaper by 100+ to 200+.

Need your attention please...

Went for first service today. The agent told me that 5 years free service Will ONLY COVER for 3 times free labour!!
Meaning that we still have to pay for labour charge for the subsequent services. Parts and lubricants will be free over the 5 years period though. (I opted for 5 year free service instead of getting RM 1500 rebate)

Anyone has any info on this? If it is true, Proton is clearly committing a fraud...

Hello guys, going to buy a persona std AT.
A SA offer me 3.5k discount or 2k+5 yrs free service.
Just curious about the free service, is it free for dedicated service as manual books (1k, 10k, 20k etc)? Or even every 5k km service also free?

Thanks for the reply, I am not selling my Iriz. Initially I was thinking getting a persona MT for myself and kuasa my Iriz to my wife. However, now I think we're getting the Persona CVT for my wife and I stick with my Iriz haha.

My rear one failed once only after restart no problem. Luckily got cam.
(This car is too tall, unlike wira) really need cam else easily hit

- front sensor, even 15-20cm cant detect,
- put hand on sensor, then suddenly red warning and beep continuous

1.5mths car, front sensor used at least 20 times, due to bad parking skills and tight parking spot at home.

Just got my Black Persona Premium for a week now and I sent it for 1k service at Section 25, Shah Alam just now. So far so good.

Plus points:
- Handling: New Persona > Myvi
- The bass from sound system is nice
- 5 year free service
- no rattling issues so far

Minus points:
- I'm quite dissapointed as I was expecting to get the new Adayo HU as I receive the car on 31st Aug. However, they gave me the old Android HU instead. It is laggy, takes quite a few minutes to initiate after i started my engine before I can listen to my radio, bluetooth playback not clear, the touchscreen is not responsive as I have to press harder with my finger. Sometimes music playback from USB buffers. Is there by any means I can change my current HU to the new one with mirrorlink? The SA told me this old HU is better than the new Adayo HU but it doesn't seem like it.
- Sometimes there's this "kronk kronk" sound whenever I turn on the aircond
- Back seat cannot support my neck as I'm about 178cm tall. However not a major issue as I always sit on the driver seat.
- Front and rear sensor not that reliable. Luckily got reverse cam.
- Proton should give at least 16' as stock sport rims. Seems like the tyre and body is not well proportioned.

But above all, I think it is a good buy. I believe Proton is heading to the right path with this Persona.

About the HU, another member tried to email Proton about getting the new HU but was turned down so I'm not sure it's possible to get it done. With some sales agent you have to specify the exact one that you want or else they won't know any better and give you the old HU model.

But otherwise, good thing you're enjoying your car and it's not having any bothersome issues.

You bought the car from dealer or direct from Proton Edar?
After seeing your post, i was so worried, so i called up my SA, telling him to ensure new HU
BTW, are you getting any extra rebate or discount? May be they are trying to clear the older stock

From Proton policy , there is no chance to change the HU. Unless they do recall , what u can do complaint to service center, they will take out your HU and send it to Penang for 3 weeks. If u want faster go COSE flash new software , but if the result still the same nothing Proton can do, they will send it to Penang also.

Fitting ultra racing products would definitely void the warranty right?

smile.gif FYI, yes. Although is plug and play items. Unless every times u go SC take it out. They won't void your warranty first until u go claim or make noise/complaint on the suspension.

You bought the car from dealer or direct from Proton Edar?
After seeing your post, i was so worried, so i called up my SA, telling him to ensure new HU
BTW, are you getting any extra rebate or discount? May be they are trying to clear the older stock

I think it is from dealer. But it's not a big deal. I think I can live with it. Later go COSE lah see how it goes. I only get the RM1500 rebate + RM1000 loyalty discount for merdeka period.

From Proton policy , there is no chance to change the HU. Unless they do recall , what u can do complaint to service center, they will take out your HU and send it to Penang for 3 weeks. If u want faster go COSE flash new software , but if the result still the same nothing Proton can do, they will send it to Penang also.

Of course lah. Big heavy bus collides with small car, bus will always survive accident better. If it's a similar size or slightly bigger car then it'll be different outcome.

Speed matters. In theory, kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x velocity x velocity , so the speed is the deciding factor, not the weight or size.

Most people thought getting NCAP safety 5-star rating means it's a safe car to drive at hight speed. But they didn't know the fact that both Euro and ASEAN NCAP only use 64 km/h in their front collision crash test on a "static" wall. It doesn't apply on a head-on collision like this (unless both were driven at a slow speed of 30 km/h, which were unlikely).

You elaborated the point much better than I did. My point was assuming both vehicles are travelling at the same speed during the head on crash(around 40-50mph) then the small car will be damaged worse than the bus because the bus has much more momentum due to heavier mass. Judging by the severity of the damage though the bus might be going faster than the Persona.

If the same thing happened with a similar sized car or a bit bigger the Persona would do a lot better. Feel free to correct me.
