Booked exec open color.... SA promised in 1 week can get car... Then after 2 weeks, I was suppose to get, but her manager allocated to another customer who booked much earlier than me and went to office and make a lot of noise about his late delivery... No worries as I'm next in line. And got the car the next week.

In the end, got my 2nd choice color.. Which was ruby red. And coincidence, the number plate I got was my late father's car number. So I'm happy with that.

Note : I was given RM1k discount... But discount had to reduce to RM500, as the other RM500 was to jump q.

RM500 good deal thumbsup.gif
You offered any insurance package?
SA offered RM1500 PA, flood relief RM100 and coverage on any driver.

BTW, do you guys install door visor? After installing, do you get more wind noise?

Thanks for sharing.

Door visors not much advantage and not featured in most newer cars.

From what i read in FB group, usually 1st problem would be the brake switch.

So far my 2016 persona, 100000km already no issues so far apart from having my rear bearing and absorber replaced.
*
100k with no issues. Impressive.
At what mileage are the rear bearing and absorber replaced?

How do we use the front parking sensor?
Do we need to push the button or it is on by default?

Hi anyone finds the driver seat a little long? The seat measured +/-53cm. My 2010 peugeot 3008 measured only 50cm. The extra 3cm is pressing against the inside of my leg and making it uncomfortable, i think it will be worse in long trips. So I made some adjustments to the seat although it's much better after that however it's still touching my leg.

Has anyone done any mod to reduce the length of the seat in particular the front part where the shape is like a kind of lip/tongue extending out?

Also the angle of the head rest i find it too sharp. Is there anyway to correct this angle?
see the comparison:

persona      ||                                                                                                                                peugeot 3008                         

[attachmentid=10446272]                                                                                                      [attachmentid=10446273]

The seat length is actually a plus point. It provides additional tight support which is helpful during long drives.

Hi guys, I am a Saga FLX CVT user since 2012.  I need to give the Saga to my mom as her ancient Kancil is no longer economical to repair.

I am planning to get a Persona VVT auto.  Would the driving experience and NVH be similiar or will it be an upgrade?

Have both Saga FLX and Persona 2019. HUGE upgrade!

I done mine at Jalan Makloom, Penang (Penang main branch). Standby at 10am, talk to SA around 1045am, collect car at 2pm... Really long queue. Lucky I kind of prepared for this so I just lepak at their waiting room enjoying my iPad.

You can consider Assetpac at Jalan Perusahaan Jelutong 3, Fortune Park.

Im also a saga flx 1.6se user, planning to trade in and get persona premium spec..

Read the comments for past 1 week.. most common issue is dashboard rattling which i believe can sort out by adding sound insulation..

Waiting for the latest pricing after sales tax deduction  biggrin.gif

Saga having dashboard rattling sound. Can temporary damper by slipping folded paper on one end of the dashboard.

Took a leap of faith again, no issues for Persona!

If have the budget, go for Persona. Safety most important.

More powerful engine, smoother transmission, better outside noise insulation, overall feels more solid especially cruising at highway.

yeah, A new GB for another 100k  whistling.gif  whistling.gif. Btw, they just call me say HQ approved and now proceed to order GB.
yes, the SC told me first 3years cover most of the things except wear and tear, den another 2years is gearbox and engine. Actually now is 150k instead of 100k  icon_rolleyes.gif
150k is stated in the warranty book,

Looking at the positive side, you get a new gear box.

that's my though also and why I bought it.
the extra 30k, I expect extra 15k to repair my car and about 10k more for petrol for an ownership for 15 yrs....
still have 5k left....haha
*
Not to forget time value of money. The extra 30k savings is outright during car purchase while the 10k additional fuel consumption is over 10 years. Essentially will be valued less than 10k if comparing at same time point.

Besides, the 30k can be used for investment. Placing in fixed deposits and with compounded interest, likely yield around 10K of interest.
