i've asked him about this, and he said "for full loan, memang need to buy premium policy for 1st year" doh.gif

oh, no wonder i didnt get any reply yet. they didn't even read the msg.  bangwall.gif
okay, will call them soon

Cannot like that. Asked him to prove any policy from your financing bank or proton stating as such.
Dealer will receive commissions from the insurance. So thats why lor..

i've received a respond from Proton FB page this morning.
this is what they said, "Has the car registered yet? If yes, there is nothing we can do. The price is not the same. There's only a cash discount of RM3,000 for Persona this month. Please make sure your loan/downpayment are for correct price, Metallic or Solid."

that's it. i think i just got conned for nearly 1k (including insurance) from Proton SA, and Proton (and insurance company, which is Kurnia) wont take any action.  bangwall.gif
err.. i asked for full loan la. lol. why ya? is it difficult to get a full loan? this is my first car, so dont really know.

Please ask Proton which channel you can report to? Cannot la jawab "nothing can be done" like that.

Forgot to update here that i hv collected mine 5 days ago. Thank you to my superb SA Vincent818 for his dedication and willingness to entertain of all my questions and rants (my car reached very late, don't know what happened at the factory, probably too much order and their process was messed up). Pls buy Proton car from him, he will give u good discount.

The experience with Persona is quite good so far:
- When idling the engine sound is barely unnoticeable, very quiet though.
- CVT delay is expected. Quite nervous to move from traffic light stops or Tjunction.
- And i got Goodyear tyres instead of Silverstone.
- no rattling sound from dashboard.
Many things i haven't test yet such as HU functionalities, decentralized door function etc.

However, sometimes i feel there is some wired sound such as:
1) after shut down the engine.. Something like tetetetetet... Which is from passenger side and steering side. Not sure if it is normal to persona or what.
2) when accelerating, sometimes the engine sounds very funny.. fan spinning sound like bibibibibi.. The sound is not that strong, But if I listen carefully, i will notice the sound. Not sure if this is common to Persona.

As such, i will pay my first visit to Proton SC this weekend. I hope this visit is a pleasant visit.

I am experiencing No. 1 too. After a while I just let it be as I am used to the sound already.

Did u confirmed with sc that tetetetete sound is normal? If yes then i can eliminate no 1 issue already.
Tomolo i will try to get the sound no 2 recorded.

Question to the new premium owners since there are a bunch of us recently, are you guys going to retint your car? XD

I don’t know if I should stick to it or change it to 3M. I’m not going for super premium specs too if I go for 3M (going for Crystalline 70 + Scotchshield only).

SafeTint offers 5 years warranty and so far I’m not sure how to gauge the efficiency of the factory tint because it hasn’t been sunny these past few days (and I park in a roofed premise during workdays).
*
Just like you i park under the roof during the weekdays but weekends my car will be parked at the open space.

At the moment i decided not to replace the tint. I decided to probably stick to factory tint for a while.

Just got my white persona premium 2days ago, here are the few problems i facing:

1. dashboard rattling sound when passing uneven road
2. wheel alignment to right
3. wind noise when driving above 80km/h
4. slow cvt response, although alot saying it is expected behavior, still i want to say, it is quite annoying especially driving in car park!!

Going to visit SC this Saturday, hopefully they can help to fix 1,2,3

I notice the welding near the tyre(both front and back) are not align, not sure if this happen to other car tongue.gif
*
1- I started to have that after passing road with red line. It is not at the dashboard, it is coming from the backside. But it is slowly disappeared after that.
2- not experiencing that so far.
3 - i follow booklet recommendation not to drive above 90kmh if still below 1000km. So still not experiencing that yet.
4 - everyone has that. Its free package with cvt engine.

What it mean by slow CVT response?
Does it mean gear change to D already, take 1 secs before gear engage?
*
Kind of.. It's consistently make me feel uneasy especially when at T junction, round about and traffic light. biggrin.gif


QUOTE(whippy @ Jul 17 2018, 11:30 PM)
Rattling noise backside are you sure not your free tools or something?
I had some clunking noise earlier too before I realise its actually all the free tools

btw bro read recently you went for your 1k service. May I know how much you were charged? Mine is in 1-2 weeks I guess
*
Actually I did checked and i am pretty sure it is not from the tools. It sound like "nyet nyet nyet nyet" which from backseat/backside. Only happened at the bumpy road or road with red stripes.

Probably u have mistaken me with some other forum members. I have not reached my first 1000km yet. Now only 300++.

Nothing. Apparently its not leak due to drain pipe or anything. It is just condensation off the pipe itself. Also, sent the car to SC to check due to I had water pooling at drivers carpet. They found and sealed a leak at driver's side fender area, so it wasn't because of the ac.
*
Ok then. I guess i will need to monitor further.

same here. I bought it for the safety and ride and handling. We all know the car has issues here and there. But just minor rattling here and there. and wind noise comes in above 80km/h

I can say it drives so so so so much better than my 2014 1.3 SE Myvi around the corners.
*
I bought it because of the price. Where on earth u can get a car complete with 6 airbags, safety features, large space for rm50k-ish.

Audio reminder, radio volume will lower for a bit while the lady scold you. Interestingly the reminder can only be heard if approaching speed sign. I believe can  toggle inside the map there but lazy to dig deeper as of now.

Talking about HU and GPS..
Do ur gps and speedometer (does it call as speedometer) reading is not sync?
For example gps show 75kmh while speedometer show 80kmh.
Mine always 5kmh lower at gps.

Is it normal? If not normal i want to get sc to recalibrate.

When reversing the car at the slope, do we really need to heavily press the accelerator? My car doesn't even move until i press the paddle so much. Light press doesn't work at all.

I used to stay at a house with steep sloping driveway. I really had to rev a lot more to reverse in compared to driving head in. Not a Proton, but it was the same for all the cars I tried.
I believe it has to do with gear ratio.

I afraid to press more, sked the car would jump.


QUOTE(fuhrer_69 @ Jul 30 2018, 10:05 PM)
due to cvt. slow response isn't it?

happen also when you stop at traffic light, when the light turns green, the other car already pecut, but your car just start to move.

some say when you go to sc ask them to tune that a bit.
*
Thank you. I will visit sc to get their opinion and get them to tune if possible

I brought the proton persona 3 week ago. I want to know where to check the car manufacturing date(car card or the plate stick on the driver site car door). But I just realized i get the 2017 year of car. Is it reasonable? I pay as the normal price after no gst and 3000 promotion offer. 53xxx  included OTR

How do u know u get 2017 car?
