Should we pin these info as well?

Persona tire size is 185/55R15 6.5jj (premium is 7jj if i remember correctly)

And common issue: water sprinkler too low (ask sc to tune it)
I tried fixing the water sprinkler by myself previously but macam not much difference. Haha

stock rim is 15x 6J. here can estimate what tires will fit the stock rim.

you can DIY the washer yourself, poke a needle in and fidget it, it is very sensitive it takes a few tries to get it right

Haha no prob if u happen to be at KV area. The upgrade for stage 1 i would say is quite a huge improvement over stock, cornering at high speed no stress at all, the car just move along with the steering movement dont have the rear end of car like got "drifting feeling" anymore.
Nope i didnt lowered my car, only change to 195 55 r15 tyres blush.gif

Nope i didnt lowered my car, only change to 195 55 r15 tyres  blush.gif

I have cleaned up all the codes and arrange it accordingly. Now I am thinking to put more info for all the members to find information easily rather than searching in the forum.

smile.gif I meant it as a compliment. Sometimes I read other threads to see what issues do other car makes may have. However, their first page is often rather empty.

So I really like our first page. Of course, if there are more information to be pinned to be first page, that would be better but I think there are not that many mods (since the car is still pretty new and not many people want to risk warranty issues) and most of the issues from first batch have been resolved. Like I don't hear any rattling sound from persona which have been plaguing persona vvt previously.

On a side note, if there are any good recommendation of HU upgrade (and the place that can do it without involving wire cutting) that would be good information also.

I kinda want to add the rear speakers to the car (mine is standard variant) but don't know which speakers to go for and don't know where can get it done without risk of the shop cut my wires (and tell me they did not cut it)

I am currently looking at other car club 1st page as well so that I know what I can display at the front page. BTW, good suggestion on the HU. I believe in V3 that someone has posted his aftermarket HU as well. Let me dig that up and try to fit into the first page for easy reference.

if FC is your main concern, then better buy myvi or bezza.

why i choose Persona than Myvi = boot space as im married with one child.

why i choose Persona than Bezza = u should know Bezza selling point IMO is FC only. they sacrifice comfort, stability just to get better FC. also prefer 1.6 over 1.3 for kereta hutang 9 tahun.

pure city drive better perodua. (actually my persona also ok)

in terms of quality, both perodua proton normal la got minor issue (not all car)

FC for city driving still OK for me but if long distance will be great. FC still depend on how you drive it. I have seen people been driving 500km in a single tank.

In terms of the car as a whole, not a superb car from the beginning but there are lots of space for improvement (have to fork out more money to mod it).

I have begun to mod it even it just 2 months car and I started to enjoy even more with the car.

The reason I choose Persona over Bezza/MyVi:

1. Family: I need boot space for my daughter stuff. My Honda Jazz Hybrid suck at the department.
2. I don’t like bontot tongeng.
3. Safety: 6 airbags + others safety mechanisms.

Issue with this car is not really a big headache. Small minor rattling noise here and there.

It all boil down to the objective of you buying this car. If it meet your requirements then you can go ahead to place an order.

Hope this helps.

QUOTE(NurSajat II @ Mar 29 2018, 05:27 PM)
hi all, honestly, do you still feel Persona problematic to you?

To be honest, not at all. Rattling noise is the main thing most of us face. I read some people have major issue with Persona but the occurrence is rather rare.

As long as engage with a good SC, problem can be solved.

I have a quite intensive review over this I will look it up for you later!
In short persona is more comfortable to drive long distance and for passenger. FC not the best but is good enough, especially for highway speed.
Bezza lesser pick up, more featured packed and better FC.
For myvi..... Honestly, if I'm a person who looks for money for value myvi is the best right now.
Edit : I can get 400 to 420km per tank. This is city driving, with mixture of highway and most township raod. Persona fuel tank is 40L

When I chose persona, I was comparing myvi and iriz. I wanted to buy another myvi the old 1,cuz iriz has cvt issue. Then comes persona, the price is similar to myvi 1.3 mid spec VS standard cvt, I don't need those featurea in myvi like fancier HU,kinda bored of myvi too, I used to drive myvi and the most I hate is those pesky 1.3cc engine , then I just go for persona for its safety and engine cc. Didn't know I bought something I enjoy driving so much.
As for now I think persona and iriz is not that appealing option, I feel the new myvi out class Proton cars many ways except handling which normal ppl don't care much. For me #noregret, cuz driving pleasure and comfort >anything

Good points there. For me, safety is important since I just started to have a family. Even my Jazz has 6 airbags and ABS hence it has become part of my requirement.

Myvi indeed is a good car tbh but just lack of boot space la.

Ezi touchup easier to use, got brush attached with the bottle cap, just like a nail polisher.

U need to wash the area and remove the wax then apply the touchup by very thin layer, wait dry then apply thin layer again.

Its works well for small chips and scratches. If long and deep scratches better send to shop for simen and spray, or else even u finished the whole bottle u wont get a nice result.

About the spring:
- It is definitely stiffer compare with the stock spring.
- Does not sacrifice too much on comfort.
- Styling wise better looking as it does not look like a boat to me.
- Low but not too low as going up and down from car park basement without any trouble. Speed bump definitely not an issue.

Why did I buy a Persona?

I wanted a manual car (and I'm not rich)
That will remove stuff like civic type R.
Leaves us, vios, almera, perodua and proton persona / saga.
I was using a Saga BLM and therefore, I wanna upgrade to something better (size and feature). So that strikes out axia, bezza and saga. Leaving almera, vios, persona and myvi.

For manual standard variant, only persona offers good features and safety is not really a luxury package as the standard variant has most of the safety features as well. Meanwhile, other cars require me to purchase the top of the line to get esc or hill start assist and etc.

So it became no brainer for me on which car to choose. Even if I'm not looking for manual, the premium persona offers a lot of features for a lot lesser in price.

Rear seat comfort is one of the reason why I choose persona as well, as I tend to drive people around and I've sat in cars which offers very little thigh support. Those cars are really uncomfortable during long distance. Persona rear seats are slightly inclined too. Perfect for long journey.

Sound proofing? The stock persona has already been sound proofed. It sounded really deadened inside the car. Go to showroom and try driving it. Also open the front bonnet. See how much sound proofing material they placed around the engine compartment.

Proton reliability? Read around other car forums and you realized persona problems is around the same as other car makes, if not lesser. I used saga BLM and although I sent the car to workshop a lot of times. Most of it is around the area where I crashed (one of the reason why I insist on safety features). The parts that i did not crash, lasted me pretty long. So I don't feel proton is as problematic as public perceives it to be.

For future proton persona owner, one thing you need to take note is, parking sensor is really slow. Get the premium variant for the reverse cam if you really need parking assistance. For me, I resort to mark 1 eye ball. Lol

I have a quite intensive review over this I will look it up for you later!
In short persona is more comfortable to drive long distance and for passenger. FC not the best but is good enough, especially for highway speed.
Bezza lesser pick up, more featured packed and better FC.
For myvi..... Honestly, if I'm a person who looks for money for value myvi is the best right now.
Edit : I can get 400 to 420km per tank. This is city driving, with mixture of highway and most township raod. Persona fuel tank is 40L

thanks guy, yea i think im convinced to give it a go. Will discuss with my partner.

FC for city driving still OK for me but if long distance will be great. FC still depend on how you drive it. I have seen people been driving 500km in a single tank.

In terms of the car as a whole, not a superb car from the beginning but there are lots of space for improvement (have to fork out more money to mod it).

I have begun to mod it even it just 2 months car and I started to enjoy even more with the car.

The reason I choose Persona over Bezza/MyVi:

1. Family: I need boot space for my daughter stuff. My Honda Jazz Hybrid suck at the department.
2. I don’t like bontot tongeng.
3. Safety: 6 airbags + others safety mechanisms.

Issue with this car is not really a big headache. Small minor rattling noise here and there.

It all boil down to the objective of you buying this car. If it meet your requirements then you can go ahead to place an order.

Hope this helps.
To be honest, not at all. Rattling noise is the main thing most of us face. I read some people have major issue with Persona but the occurrence is rather rare.

As long as engage with a good SC, problem can be solved.

My CVT unit currently at 25k mileage has a metallic droning noise only during engine braking. Else, everything is fine. Anyone else's CVT has this noise during engine braking (when accelerator pedal fully released)?

-it sounds like the belt's tension suddenly gone slightly loose

I did crusing a lot with my persona on highway.. 3k rpm when speed around 110kmph. I would say consider high rpm. Hence u will notice some CVT droning due to high rpm, but proton really put a lot of effort in reducing the noise, which works really well. I would say crusing within speed limit is quite comfortable. Unless u speed up to 140-150kmph, then the CVT noise is quite obvious and ear tiring for a long journey.

Totally agree on the sound proofing part, try remove the door panel, the rear boot spare tyre, very thick soundproof material comes as standard already. But one my frd complaint to me, persona sound proof is terrible. Well I think some of them dunno how to different CVT noise and external noise..

to be frank, persona comes with a lot sound proofing, all 4 doors are padded,even at A, B, C pillars. Hood and trunk is padded as well. However, i think your friend isnt wrong, persona is noisy when reving even at 3k range, compare to myvi or bezza, the CVT noise is very apparent whenever you try to overtake.
my car is around 1.3 years old, i think is not as quiet as when new, very likely due to that silverstone tyre wearing down.

Share my prob before this. ESC and handbrake signal turn on suddenly. Sent to seri muda shah alam SC, they say it is rare case. Refer to COSE. Leave the car for 2 days. COSE change the brake switch and the whole fuse box. Until now no problem.

FC for city driving still OK for me but if long distance will be great. FC still depend on how you drive it. I have seen people been driving 500km in a single tank.

In terms of the car as a whole, not a superb car from the beginning but there are lots of space for improvement (have to fork out more money to mod it).

I have begun to mod it even it just 2 months car and I started to enjoy even more with the car.

The reason I choose Persona over Bezza/MyVi:

1. Family: I need boot space for my daughter stuff. My Honda Jazz Hybrid suck at the department.
2. I don’t like bontot tongeng.
3. Safety: 6 airbags + others safety mechanisms.

Issue with this car is not really a big headache. Small minor rattling noise here and there.

It all boil down to the objective of you buying this car. If it meet your requirements then you can go ahead to place an order.

Hope this helps.
To be honest, not at all. Rattling noise is the main thing most of us face. I read some people have major issue with Persona but the occurrence is rather rare.

As long as engage with a good SC, problem can be solved.

Hi guys, from many of previous post knowing that many servicing at Senaxis.

I book a service with them using proton app on last week for this sat minor service but didint receives any call from them on the booking confirmation.
So on today i call them since they did not revert me on any confirmation and they told me to just walk in to service as long as arriving before 3pm.
Is this true? Because for my past 3 services at cose all requires booking and does not entertain walk in.

I did called them if u read my previous post...from phone call they say just come anything they will do for me including servicing etc.
Im just not comfortable why they cannot allocate a slot for me.

Anyway below is one of the google review for proton sc glenmerie.

"Made a call to make an appointment to service my car. Was told to just walk-in and no appointment needed. Went to the service center and was asked if appointment was made by the receptionist/ front counter. Ended up having to wait for more than 1 hour just to be called, detailing out about the service needed. They said they prioritize the ones who have made their appointment, I understand that but screw the operator who said appointment is not needed. Perodua service center is much better!"

Last time I just literally walk-in and let them fix some of the issue with my car. For me, I just put my car there and take Grab back to office since they are nearest to my office. They fixed the issue kinda fast. Bear in mind that they only have 4 bays to work with and there are lots of owners go there for servicing.

If you want a specific slot then just tell them over the phone and you go there slightly early. I believe they will give the slot to you.

I have trade-in my Silverstone Kruizer with Maxxis MA i-Pro Victra i-Pro.

About the spring:
- It is definitely stiffer compare with the stock spring.
- Does not sacrifice too much on comfort.
- Styling wise better looking as it does not look like a boat to me.
- Low but not too low as going up and down from car park basement without any trouble. Speed bump definitely not an issue.

Can check out here.

1) Sport rim 15 inch + Potenza RE003 (195/55/15) - RM1300 + trade in stock
2) Ultra racing stage 1 - RM650
3) Zerone SSR550 adjustable - RM2100
4) Potent Booster 6 drive - RM700
5) Stiff ring - RM300

Thinking of what mod left for me to do.

Definitely reduce body roll during high speed cornering compared to before I put it on.
As for potent booster Im always on Sport mode (H-X), since fc isnt my concern. Just want the great throttle feedback whenever Im driving.
The Racing mode (F-X) is too much for daily drive. lol

After driving the new persona for a bit more than a year (1year and 1month) I would say this is the last Proton car I'll ever buy.
One of the main reason I bought new car instead of second hand Honda/Toyota at that time was hoping that new car will give less headache or at least if there's anything broken it will be covered under warranty for the first few years. Now they start to told me this broken that broken and warranty are only 1 year, so I have to pay.
Sorry for the negatives view, just want to let it off my chest.

Totally understand how you feel. Been there and done that with Honda especially with the airbags. It is far more dangerous compare with my issue with my Persona (Wakanda Forever). Based on my understanding from you post, if the SC mentioned that the parts only cover for 1 year only limited to:

- Exhaust System
- Battery

Totally understand how you feel. Been there and done that with Honda especially with the airbags. It is far more dangerous compare with my issue with my Persona (Wakanda Forever). Based on my understanding from you post, if the SC mentioned that the parts only cover for 1 year only limited to:

- Exhaust System
- Battery
Not everything is cover for 5 years. Referring back to the Warranty & Service Booklet below:

LOL!

There' are more T&C in the warranty booklet which I didnt screenshot it. Just take 6-10 minutes to go through the book once so that you are clear with warranty instead of buta-buta trust those marketing catch phrase like 5 years warranty. biggrin.gif

I already know I blew my warranty for my suspension since i lowered it. whistling.gif wink.gif

Normally I read that the volume is always going up and down by it's own. Your case is the first I hear. Mind to tell us whether yours radio is single-din, double-din or touch screen?

Nope everything original. The exhaust system only one year warranty.

The whole exhaust system. First the filter area in the middle of the car gave me loud noise everyone I slow down the car. Cost me rm350. Then after repair they told me the other part at the back got hole and need to pay rm2xx

Yes the exhaust system. The problem is I never expect the whole system will have problem as soon as the warranty expires. I'm pretty sure there are some other parts will start to break after the warranty expire later in the future. I don't have confidence on the spare parts supply by proton anymore.

If I am in your position, I will give up hope on Proton SC on the exhaust replacement. Since the warranty already end, I might as well use the aftermarket product.

The center filter part when want to replace will includes the parts all the way from the near the engine to almost the back of the car. It is quite a long part.
The second part with the hole is on the muffle as told to me by the service advisor. I haven't look at the size and the exact location yet, so didn't change that part.
I always go to COSE since it's nearer to me.

Extra loud then u sacrifice the comfort liao. tongue.gif

Anyway, back to your issue, the center box u mean is the catalytic convertor? After the exhaust extractor should be the catalytic convertor. Based on your post, it seems like the replace the catalytic convertor and the piping till the muffler. I guess I will take a look again on my exhaust system when I install UR bars.

Eh... I'm not sure what that is call. Just know it's a long cylinder from front to the back and there's a bigger cylinder in the middle. I'll put a picture.

FYI the catcon is the main culprit which is doing the damage, one of catcon by product is salty water, that is why most modern car exhaust system does not last long.
I had my gen2’s cat con removed on the first day and my exhaust system last me 10 years without issue before I sold it off.

Hey guys, i just went to speed mod, added stiff ring and also front top anti roll bar.
Stiff ring RM 270
Stiff ring installation 50
front bar 195
Driving on highway, i would say no difference. on cornering , it does feel less roll and sharper ONLY on slightly harder cornering. Another effect is that i feel the stock suspension are finally doing its job, it is better at absorbing uneven roads.


just changed my tyres from silverstone to cc6 195/55/r15. will review later!

Hey guys, i just went to speed mod, added stiff ring and also front top anti roll bar.
Stiff ring RM 270
Stiff ring installation 50
front bar 195
Driving on highway, i would say no difference. on cornering , it does feel less roll and sharper ONLY on slightly harder cornering. Another effect is that i feel the stock suspension are finally doing its job, it is better at absorbing uneven roads.
just changed my tyres from silverstone to cc6 195/55/r15. will review later!

Front bar doesn’t seems like reduce the body roll significantly lo. I found a deal in Lazada for both front and anti roll bar which cost 650.

Today I drove up to Genting Premium Outlet and handling not bad with car lowered and wider tayar. Car fully loaded with 5 adults and a baby.

went to 1k service at one of the SC at penang

1. used mobil semi syn engine oil instead of petronas (is that better?)
2. standard engine treatment thing (i think it's fine ..since this is 1st service ..pamper the car a bit)

total = rm201


Btw.. on booklet is 6 month or 10k mileage

but when SC stick "small" sticker on my car ..is 3 month @ 5000km

Follow whichever come early. Some foreman simply out that sticker 1. Meaning your next service should be 5 months later from your 1k service . And your third service is 11 months after your 1k service

New engine need engine flush + treatment ?? Better go to bigger proton edar branch service center for next service. They give petronas syntium 800se 10w 30, interval 10,000km@6 months. Make appointment online 3 days before go.

Smaller proton wakil sc all money minded 1, my first service also kena becoz wanna find nearer. Ended up need to top up rm130 for shell fully oil 5w 40 or else semi oil interval will be 5000km@3 mths as declared by the sc. (By right 5000km interval are for heavy used like as grab car according to service book.)

Since then i never go back to that sc and rather travel further a bit from seri kembangan to puchong for service.

last time they forfeited my 3rd free service, simply because i follow 6 months after 10k service, instead of 12 months after purchase. i was furious about it, but hey there are right, the paper say so. follow the booklet by whatever means.

Engine flush are done for cars that has very old with deposits from wearing engine parts, dont do it everytime. is no harm but unnecessary. not sure what engine oil treatment is. From what i see they are selling you an more expensive oil, the standard petronas SE is RM100. you should use 10W/30 not 10W40 which is a thicker oil, which may or may not affect FC.
"
Use the oil that is recommended by the manual. Just make sure it is a multi-grade oil which matches the service standard that is required. If you get your oil changed and end up putting a heavier oil in your vehicle one time, then it won’t become a huge issue. All it will do is lower your fuel mileage. However, the manufacturer could provide a recommendation to go with an oil that has a higher viscosity if the usage of the oil is more demanding.

"
sos: https://cartreatments.com/symptoms-of-wrong-engine-oil/

My brother service my car at 1k , they also persuaded him to use more expensive oil. Rule of thumb, ask the SC follow the service manual 100%, nothing more nothing less. proton SC likes to add this add that telling you is better, NO! say it! often times they do not benefit anything, for example my case, they recommended my brother long distance oil, no point, 5 months later gonna change anyway. my last service they even charge me 7 bucks for washer fluid. 1 thing i kinda dont like Proton dealer SC is that they tend to sell you more, before hand i already told them follow the service manual 100%, and they didnt change my intake air filter. no big deal but i did rather follow exactly, as some component really should be changed at those interval old or new car stated in the manual. Unless you feel is necessary, dont fork out extra, those are just value added service.

I agree with you. It is better to stick with the maintenance plan as written in the booklet.

As for engine treatment, a brand new car does not need it. Furthermore, engine treatment does not really make any difference in term of performance and FC.

I have attached the service maintenance schedule in the first post where it is from Proton. Please do refer it before go for service to prevent the warranty being void.

hi guys is me again back with some fuzzy questions. This time is about head unit. From a standard variant i plan to change it to another unit with reverse cam. specifically this model.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT1H2LZO3Yo

The colour code from the HU is easy to figure out
RED= ignition
Yellow=ACC
Black=ground
Gray/ Gray stripe(negative)= Front right
white/white stripe(negative)= Front left
pink= reverse light
standard variant only has 2 speaker so thats alll of my concern

on reverse camera installation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhz4R_W2A_4

Note that the signal trigger is the power from the reverse light.
Camera power : from reverse light positive and negative
AV input : red wire near camera connect to positive reverse light
red wire at the other end connects reverse light, and AV goes to camera

those above wiring is from the HU unit, where should it connect into the car?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OThxY0oRjp0

From my car i see this

what wire is what? Does anyone has changed their HU and has wire diagram for it?

That is slightly higher than the recommended. What I know, the higher the pressure, the bumpier it gets.

driving with passengers and load front and back 220kpa


keep the tyre pressure around there. over inflate reduce grip, makes the car bumpy and over time induces uneven tyre wear. SC recommend higher because people normally dont check pressure often.

I put front 220kpa back 200kpa on my lousy silverstone twice a month, if over the middle of the tyre wear faster, if under the side of the tyre wear faster. Normally front tyres wear faster, shifted side front and back once during 17,000km. My tyres still looks 'good' now 24,000km but will change all 4 when reaching 40,000km. Not sure can fit in 185 60 r15 CC6 or not, i prefer less bumpy drive as i do not drive aggressively.

Hi guys, over these few weeks i have did some mods. these mods are in culmulative order. so your results may vary, these are just my opinion
1.15inch wheel 6.5J
2. Front top tower bar & stiff ring
3.continental CC6 tyre
4.rear 16mm anti roll bar
5.reverse sensor(ori sensor just terrible weh, how many times i need to scrape my bumper)

1.RIM(RM600 with nuts and ring)
i changed my rim without changing my stock silverstone tyre. the initial feeling is that, i can feel the 4 corners are lighter, the best way to describe it is, i have remove heavy object from 4 corners of the car.
Before i install the aftermarket rim, i compare the weight is indeed lighter, how much im not sure, but definitely can feel by hand. However it dosent improve handling, just feel the car is lighter like you unloaded something, but feel a little better.

2.Front top tower bar & stiff ring(RM270+50+ 195)
got the advised from friend, install stiff ring should just install bar as well, and so i did. it feels the front stock suspension are now held strongly, the suspension now does better work in absorbing uneven roads. cornering has a little sharper responds but only if you corner hard.

3. Continental CC6 195/55/R15(RM 740, balancing, install, alignment, no nitorgen)
It is strange that i pick a comfort tyre when i did other mod to improve handling, my goal is trying to enhance this car's intrinsic good properties, like quietness and handling.
First thought on the tyres, no more spinning start. that is the biggest safety improvement just by changing tyre. silver stone has roaring sound, i wont say cc6 reduce all but has cut it down to a noticeably. driving on highway feels more comfy, more confidence in cornering even using this comfort tyre. The salesman does mention my silverstone is still usable and need not to change, but is just too dangerous to use them.

4. Rear anti roll bar 16mm(bought second hand, new priced at RM420)
If you are looking to improve your car handling this is the first mod you should do. notice i have this bar after the previous upgrades, the body roll is significantly lowered, very obvious effect. it does improve your car's handling and more importantly comfort when cornering. if you are looking into buying one, go for 19mm as new 19mm is 480 while 16mm new is 420. the thickness affect roll bar stiffness by factor of power 4{google for this info to verify}, adding RM60 from 16mm to 19mm is worth the extra as it give quite significant effect while it probably will stay on your car until you sell it off.

5. reverse sensor(RM250)
for the love of your heart arteries, please change them. find other place that is cheaper, i believe i have been scammed at that price.

Summary
1. changing rim same size as stock dosent give much advantage, just for the looks. dont bother changing them if you just drive daily, not worth it unless for the looks. Many from forums and shop do recommend going 1inch + from stock, if you are changing rim, do that.
2. i have these on together, to my experience, is not worth spending on these, for RM500 ish, save it or invest it on other area. the effect is gives just is not as significant as other parts
3. change to good tyres as soon as you can, esp on silverstone tyres. Not only they are bad, is dangerous after 50% wear, get entry level tyres from michillen, goodyear, bridgestone or continental. This is the single upgrade that will completely change how you feel about your car, nontheless , do it to ensure your own safety
4. install the 19mm ARB for best effect, it really does reduce body roll
5. Just tossed the old one, i havent have nightmare since.

i do agree that the sensor is kind of slowpoke and seems like sensor coverage consists of blind spot

anyone install spoiler (other than the stock from proton)?

Maybe change the existing head unit, I got one cheap online that support reverse cam and touch screen.
As far as comfort goes, those upgrade should be sufficient.

Reverse sensor is plug and play, if want to go back warranty can DIY. But...... The sensor is technically broken when new z for every car

Rear ARB without the front top tower, is it a pair thingy? Is it because now you have both bar, that's why the whole handling improved? If jz rear ARB, will it still give apparent handling improvement?

It is said that RWD car got best effect from front bar. And FWD rear bar.
I don't refute the idea a pair of strut makes the car feel better. But you will notice more from just ARB. Strut bar doesn't need to come in pairs or in certain combinations. Other car forums suggests that installing strut bars wrongly might even have negative effect.
But the rule of thumb, go with ultra racing stage 1, you won't overspend or go wrong. And ARB give most effect if you have no mods to begin with.

Ooo as much as i like to stay stock, the body roll of this car taking corners is soooo apparent.. sad.gif another thing is the rear suspension, feels very springy, if go across bump a little too fast, can feel the items in my boot being launched up a little.. wonder is ARB can solve both or solve mostly the first one only.

Persona VVT suspension is soft. Abit too soft for me. Which is why i change to adjustable. ARB only gonna reduce the body roll.

just raising a doubt for discussion purpose, the rear torsion beam setup itself is already a very thick anti roll bar.installing another 20mm thick steel bar on top really give significant difference?

i think ARB wont help in such case, as the name suggest, anti roll bar, it prevents roll when the car's G force is place at 1 side, going over bump exerts on both rear suspension. you might want to look into springs, they are cheaper than stage 1 ultra racing bar(tower front strut and ARB). But you might sacrifice some comfort, as aftermarket spring is normally stiffer. my friend suggest changing the absorber instead but i not sure how it affect the ride.

Hi guys,

Just a silly question.....

Scenario :
Speeding above 140km/h and above
- You are on fast lane
- You are about to pass lorry on the left on the normal speed lane
- While passing the lorry at that speed, you feel that the steering want to steer to the right, so will counter that by holding the steering more firmly
- suspect this is cause by the turbulence cause by the lorry

Hi guys,

Just a silly question.....

Scenario :
Speeding above 140km/h and above
- You are on fast lane
- You are about to pass lorry on the left on the    normal speed lane
- While passing the lorry at that speed, you feel that the steering want to steer to the right, so will counter that by holding the steering more firmly
- suspect this is cause by the turbulence cause by the lorry

Anyone experience this?
*
steer to right or left? Usually I will feel the car being "suck" into the left lane in the scenario your mentioned.

if you take LRT or KTM, u see the platform there is a yellow line where it asks you to stand behind it. The concept is the same where the train will suck u in if u stand too near...

It is common thing. If you travel alot on highway, I would advise you to be aware on your surrounding especially those "speedy" lorries and buses..

The reason why I ask is .......
I was very annoyed by this as it never occur in my previous car, Proton Gen 2, maybe due to the nature of Electric Power Sterling this suck in effect happens.

I was able to eliminate this after installing full set of UR bar, stage 1 did not help either.

i would say it's quite normal for car vs lorry/bus (that travelled in very fast compared to your speed)

unless some luxury car like benz ..i remember they have some technology to auto fix/"recorrect" back the vacuum effect

is kinda true actually............those aftermarket HU do have their own issue. i was thinking it wasnt too much of a hassle, turns out mounting might have some hiccups, hopefully does not involve drilling or other kind of hacking.

Bro my advice, if you want to change to China Hu, might as well stick to Ori HU, yes it looks very basic, but it's a branded player at least with Bluetooth connectivity and USB, radio reception is good, quality of output is not bad too. I double the China hu can be this good, other than it might look more high tech with touchscreen.

You just need steel bracket and bend it to fit and hold your new HU.

As I said, it is up to you lo. If you have moolah then u can go ahead. I used to do it with all the Honda i owned. Even though not really necessary to change but I dont want to take the risk lo. U know la Honda, those parts are damn expensive.

https://www.quora.com/When-a-car-overtakes-...wards-the-truck

is Bernoulli's principle, even truck to truck. Best way to relate is when you stand at ERL station, when a non stop fast moving train goes past, you feel like wind blowing towards the train. normally bigger the vehicle bigger the pulling, since our car is generally smaller than a truck, we get the suck in effect more. Why motor cyclist dosent have such feeling? motorcyle is kinda small so it cannot generate the suction

The turbulence effects from lorry happen to all the cars, but some cars tend to be pulled easier than others due to size and suspension settings.
Cars with too much positive castor angle on the front suspension will be pulled easily by the turbulence air or cross wind.
Soft suspension, high ride height, and tires with soft sidewalls will also make the car sway more easily under turbulence effects.

Hey guys, just letting you guys know I'm using the original wiper since 2016 November. Given the price Proton sell and still wiping good, I advice buy original from Proton once you need replacement.

I wipe down my wiper wit shampoo and rinse everytime.

A little bit lighter but do not expect miracle
Build quality is definitely better than K&N and a few F1 team is using BMC so their product is of good quality.
Most important, it’s cheaper than k&n.

to be honest, certain color will make persona looks outstanding and good, whilst certain will make it look like un-finish car.

I only realized recently, even std variants got slight logic behind the wiper speed. When driving, the wiper speed is as you selected. But when you pulled to a stop at traffic light or etc, it will drop to one speed lower.

E.g., heavy rain, you set wiper speed to fastest, and when you reach traffic light, it will be slowed down to normal. If it's light rain, then it will go from normal to intermittent.

This feature on top of the variable intermittent speed is really a nice touch from proton. *Thumbs up*

Do be mindful, when raya season, the offer are normally older stock, sometimes newer stocks still have offer but less. some salemen might give you the old stock and give less discount. just be very very very wary about it.

the rim should be having the iriz rim. since proton has refreshed to it. old rim is 15x 6j while the new iriz rim is 15x6.5J.
one of the easiest way to avoid problem is to buy directly from proton official dealer, not authorised dealer(i cant recall correct term). For example,Proton center of excellence is Proton official dealer, if the showroom is ABC sdn.bhd or similar then is authorized dealer.

put it in an anaolgy, say you want to buy Sony product, you can either buy from Sony style official store or buy from harvey norman. Sony style is Sony dealer, where harvey norman is authorised dealer. it is best buy from Sony style, because you are buying directly from Sony. is fine that you buy from harvey norman, is just when you have problem harvey norman will refer back to sony as well. I hope you get the idea.

Official dealer benefit:
they dont have any discount except official discount from proton
they offer pre check up before hand over, of there is any issue, you are dealing with proton directly
little or no freebies, all extras is given officially and no extra

authorized dealer benefit:
you can nego with the salesman, see how much he willing to cut from his commission
sometimes they give free tint voucher, these authorized dealer teamup with branded tint shop(my case raytech), so the dealer will help you do the tint at slightly top up price instead full price. else the voucher is almost useless
a lot freebies
downside, of authorized dealer, anything major they ask you refer back to proton, they not be responsible, happen to my case, where they didnt do a proper hand over, esp that time got IP noise kit issue, they just ask me go proton SC and off I go. No doubt the dealer is cheaper, by almost 1k unofficial discount, not worth it.

as schedule, need not to spend extra to change early. once you have reach the schedule maintenance, do inquire on iridium spark plug, these spark plug are rated to last 100K km. Pricier but save the effort to change

Blue really give better looks to persona. Looks wider and luxurious.
Wrap is a good idea. Will consider that once i bought the car.
Btw, how long the wrap can last? And when we peel the wrap, will the original paint removed?

It really depends on the SC. Some SC they do as told, some even say iridium won't work on persona. The one at senaxis offer customers what they want within spec, so I suggest going there.
One thing is true iridium is better than copper, the price for its lifetime is same as keep changing copper. I prefer iridium cuz it give the peace of mind. Gonna service my car next month and will change it

Wrap has warranty from the shop normally 5 years. It is no different from those sticker you buy from Mr DIY, is just they are bigger and thicker. Still can wax them just can't polish.

Almost anything is better than stock Silverstone, I believe.

Just a matter of improve by how much. I think CC6 is a solid tire (as in a good tire choice that you can't go wrong with)

I've not used them yet, so I think may need other CC6 users pitch in their reviews

I have change to 195/55r15, just feels weeks ago. Just do it already. I'm serious.
The Silverstone tyres are just arrrrrghhh!!!!

Cc6 195 is quiet. You will feel more comfy on uneven road. But everything has a cost, when tyre are soft, they deform to suit the road surface more, more polymer in the tyre deform, more heat it generates, therefore lesser fuel economy, but not by much. Silverstone is downright dangerous to use after its 60%wear. Tyre spin and corninering slips when rain


Total cost for 4 tyre include balancing installation and alignment and gst,RM740

Hey guys... My persona keep having a weird sound from front passenger seat (from that direction) while going uneven road.... The sound is some kind of rattling sound, like something loose or wire short circuit noise...
zikzikzikzikzizzzzzzz LOL (not sure is metal vibrating sound or some kind of electrical spark noise)
Anyone experience this?

I from penang, bough REDcolor last month from Ipoh SA. Good discount, been searching penang SA, all given 1k discount, but the Ipoh SA give me 3k discount and transfer my old car NCD, all total nearly discount 4k. And the SA drive my new car all the way from Ipoh to Penang in front of me. Good service.
1 month used already, the car so far so good.

Yes I do travel from Ampang to Sunway everyday and I try to drive as efficiently as possible by applying minimal throttle inputs as well as driving during non-peak hours haha! Oh, and I'm also very obsessed with getting the best fuel consumption possible. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

yes i very much agree on this, running fuel too low will spoil fuel pump. i think best practise just fuel up and keep around half a tank

2.Seat was soft & comfortable
3.Air con was cool, it was a hot afternoon.
4.Ride quantity was good - quiet & comfortable.

Yes I do travel from Ampang to Sunway everyday and I try to drive as efficiently as possible by applying minimal throttle inputs as well as driving during non-peak hours haha! Oh, and I'm also very obsessed with getting the best fuel consumption possible.  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

At least you guys got a decent mileage per full tank.

My wife's car (6 months old) only managed to get 300km per full tank; with 100% city drive with medium traffic congestion.

Tbh, Proton cars in general is real poor in start stop traffic. They are heavier to begin with, cc is bigger and less efficient than peroduo.
I have to say peroduo is really the city car. Proton fuel efficiency is only performing on par when at highway speeds

Battery warranty only 1 year. Once the warranty is out then u can basically get 3rd party battery. I planned to change mine to 3rd party by next year once my warranty is out.

u can download Bateriku apps to find the pricing.

Does the Persona have a bulb-failure (example, brake light, indicator, tail lamp..) warning on the MFD?

Took Grab car ride yesterday. It was a new Persona. I sat at the back seat. My comments:
1.Back seat is spacious. I'm 6ft, had good leg room.
2.Seat was soft & comfortable
3.Air con was cool, it was a hot afternoon.
4.Ride quantity was good - quiet & comfortable.

This might have been repeated. Regarding moving from stop Jerking issue, hold your brake and put to D, give it 1 or 2 sec, then press your pedal.
Clutch base cvt need some time to adjust, just like a manual transmission. If you change from N to D and accelerate is very likely gonna jerk.

I thought you need to release brake, wait 1-2 seconds then accelerate?

Signal bulb failure is easy to detect because it will flash at higher frequency. Since there is already such CANBUS feature, it's strange why P1 did not include other bulbs, especially since Persona uses regular filament bulbs which have shorter lifespan compared to LED.

even u brake on D...

when u slowly release brake .. take a look on the rpm meter

it take 1 or 1.5sec ..then you can see the rpm is like "tick" once (single pulse) ...from that time onwards..u can press pedal kaw kaw..it wont jerk at all


if u press pedal before the "pulse" ..when the gear completely "entered" ..it will jerk

ahhh i see.
i think the key here is, dont accelerate right after shifting N to D from stop. i have a habit of putting in neutral at traffic light and hand brake, just before the car infront move, i release hand brake, hold my brake, shift N to D(wait pulling feel from the gear), then accelerate, no jerk

I read the thread about CVT adaptation. When you step on the brake in D, or put to N, the solenoid will deenergise and disengage the clutch - something like how we disengage the clutch on a manual car. When brake is released, the hydraulic oil will be supplied to clutch to engage it.
Hence, if we tekan accelerator straight away, it will jerk because the clutch will engage quickly instead of being allowed to slowly engage by allowing the hydraulic oil to slowly pressure up。

Didn't pay much attention to that. I wonder would the headrest partially block drivers rear view?

Overall I felt quality & finish of the car is good. With Lotus tuned suspension would expect handling to be good too. Well built small family car at a reasonable price.

From my experience, those detachable headrests tend to block our rear view, compared to fixed type. However, imo, they offer better protection and comfort.

so unfair to Persona

As part of the promotion, the kit is provided free for the Persona 1.6L Premium CVT variant, while all 1.3 CVT variants of the Saga – Standard, Executive and Premium – get the styling package as well.

However, the offer is available for a limited time only – until the end of May 2018. After that, the bodykit for the Persona will cost RM1,900 and RM1,800 for the Saga. Another thing to note is the gunmetal colour for certain parts of the kit are only available during the promotion and will revert to their original colour scheme after then.

Maybe 1.6 premium tak laku. I'd rather they include DRL instead of body kit that is unlikely to turn a toad to a swan.

Just sped up to genting through batang kali. The car feels quite under power even in L, can keep up with myvi but really felt like this car should have manual transmission instead of cvt

I do agree about the manual and cvt thingy. When i test drove persona premium, my first impression is "heavy". The deadened sound from inside and the acceleration felt like engine pulling something heavy. It still manage to do nice acceleration but the heavy feel remains. On manual, it feels lighter (although it's really about 100kg lighter haha)

Dunno i noob at manual tranny or what (but i suspect it contributes as I'm not shifting fast enough) but i feel jazz accelerates faster than persona mt though. Drove both and feel the power comes readily when you demand for it.

Proton engine is proton engine. If want power, mmg need go up to 4k rpm then the power surge comes. Below 3k is pretty sluggish / underpower.

Do tell me if i got any part wrong. Still learning manual tranny.
