Guys,
Any of u face petrol dripping from under carriage?

Just noticed my 2 mth old persona is leaking petrol underneath. Location is about rear right, just beside wheel. Can see petrol on floor, can't determine exact leakage, need go to SC check tomorrow.

Now, really regret getting a car with so many quality problem.
*
Oh god, that really bad if true. Not everyday you see this type of problem appear. Your car might be a lemon unit?

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.
*
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.

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

The fc really high... Same as 20 y.o wira in jam...
Before accident, i'd take bezza...

Only the moment i kena accident i wish Im in persona...

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.

"The reverse sensor will Beep once when you engage reverse gear, and from slow beep to fast when you're nearing the object."
My concern is I don't hear any slow beep when I shift to Gear R.
*
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.

Hi, may I know all ratting sounds can solve totally at SC?
*
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.

Just realized the side mirror when adjust. Driver side cannot adjust far up compared to passenger side. Only me or everyone's the same?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just saw the new Persona spyshots with Iriz wheels. IMO, it looks better than the current design but it doesn't have the two tone coloring for some reason which makes it look slightly cheapened compared to the Iriz.

Photos can be seen at you know where. I won't post a link for obvious reasons.

COSE stand for PROTON Centre Of Service Excellence located at Subang Jaya. There have showroom and car sales, service centre, body paint facility and many more. IMO it one of largest Proton branch after Glenmarie and Mutiara Damansara. I went there to claim warranty for rattling dashboard and wind noise issue bcos nearby smaller SC unable to do it. Mine standard CVT and now at 1150km use for 3 weeks. No major problem yet till now just rattling dashboard which is already fix after 1st service with new IP kit installed The only thing quite annoying is wind noise, seem can't be fix. If not mistaken SC replaced doors rubber seal but after replaced it the doors sound harder when close, before this the door sound smooth and remind me most premium car door sound when close. I suggest pick the premium variant if got some extra money bcos it worth with additional airbags, leather seat, new HU, Push Start button, Keyless entry, front fog lamp, auto folding mirror, Rear Seat 60:40 Split, and just now someone in Proton Persona VVT Comunity(Malaysia) fb page got new rim for premium variant which look like Iriz but one tone only. Me regret little bit after bought standard but after think again if choose premium later can't afford it. Overall statisfied with my purchase for now. Hope no major issue in future.
*
Mind sharing the Premium variant with Iriz wheels photo please. Wanna see a clearer view of it.

lol, konfem never actually stepped in the car.

phyckeryzInterior quality not much different than Myvi(means got minor issues but still ok), rattling and wind noise might be present. Powertrain FC relatively high but good reliability, CVT maintenance more expensive in the long run. Perodua SC also only marginally better than Proton SC, just need to find the right ones.

I assume you're talking about current Myvi. If so, Persona definitely worth getting over Myvi despite higher FC and more expensive CVT maintenence. But for new Myvi coming late this year maybe worth getting over Persona but specs unknown yet. If you don't wanna wait, just get the Persona.

My wife's car started to develop rattle at the meter cluster area. This car is fairly new, has not even go for the first service yet.

Has anyone got the rattle in the dashboard fixed by SC? Is it going to be permanent or we just have to live with it? This unit should have the noise kit fixed already  shakehead.gif

Noise insulation is fairly good, but I found out that there are humming / booming noise when I drive at certain speed and also when going over those yellow line small speed bumps.
*
It happens, even if ip noise kit already installed from factory there is no certainty that it'll not make any rattling noises. Not sure if the fix will be permanent as again there isn't any guarantee especially if you're owning the car for longer than 5 years.

As for booming/humming noise, that's probably those awful Silverstone tyres if you drive them past 60km/h.

A bit of rattling is no big deal if it's not too noticeable like the owner mentioned. Besides, some Bezza owners also complain of rattling after a short while so it's just an inherent problem with cheap, mass-produced cars.

Proton still have very bad interior fitting on latest Proton Persona and Iriz

Too bad.

What do you mean "bad", bad compared to City, Vios, Mazda 2 etc. Or bad compared to the similar priced Myvi.
If compared to the former, of course you will notice. But compared to the latter, there isn't too much difference.

I've sat in latest batch Iriz and the finishing is decent for what you get overall, even better than Preve/Suprima imo.

AC "brr" noise might just be the compressor vibrating a little when starting up. Heard the same thing on my father's Navara but hasn't had any issue for months now.

Yes old stock, but check manufacturing date first. If not too old then still fine, it's just a change in wheels and nothing else.
