Haven’t got a chance to visit a showroom yet but does anyone know what’s covered under the 5 years warranty?

Also the free tint that comes with premium is it good enough or I may need to get it redone outside?

Think I’m gonna book my Premium this weekend to lock the discounted price. Managed to test drive today but the SA said loan approval may be slow due to raya bottleneck

Aside from the Iriz rim and also HU, how do I ensure that I’ll get the latest batch and not some ready stock that’s been in the warehouse for months? D: first time buying car I’m excited but also nervous haha

(Also if anyone knows any SA that’s willing to offer more discount please rec to me too haha)

Hi guys. I just book persona premium. Just want to ask what's the usual interest rate for this car?
My first car biggrin.gif

Same! Just booked mine too and first time buying car haha.
I keep getting quotes around 3.1-3.2% with 40k loan 7 years so I’m wondering if it can get lower than that!

Still acceptable. I received booking SMS on 4th June. Tomorrow is exactly one month.

I believe i am one of the rare unfortunate case. sad.gif

Which variant did you go for?

But yeah I think mine is still pretty acceptable because I expected the sales will skyrocket due to the no GST/SST period

Just collected mine today! Thanks Vincent for excellent service biggrin.gif

I’m contemplating if I should retint the car. It’s a solar+safety tint from SafeTint with 5 years warranty. Thoughts from older owner on the factory tint??

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).

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.

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

I ended up going to Sin Siang Hin Tun Razak
Pretty good service there. Attentive and fast *thumbs up*
Senaxis and S13 weren’t able to fit me in because Saturday so many bookings

Btw my mileage is only 850km rn but considering I’ve done my 1000km service so now I can tekan until 140kmph right? tongue.gif the past few weeks have been torturous because gotta stay within 90kmph lol

My 2018 persona is having this problem where when I gentle press the brake to slow down (e.g at traffic light), it’ll have the squeaky sound. It’s not that loud. If I switch on the radio I won’t really hear it but it’s there.

Today I did my balancing and alignment at a third party shop and the sound is still there so I’m ruling out that they (Proton SC) messed up my tyres when I went to do my b+a with them during my 10k service (because the sound started to appear around 12k like that and I went back to them but they didn’t really resolve anything)

Now my car 22k. I already highlight to them about this issue again when I did my 20k service. It was okay for like a week or so and then it’s back =_=

Anyone experience this also and manage to overcome the issue?

Need to change my tyres for my 2018 persona coz botak already.

Can I double check if the tyre size is 185/55 (as per the first post) or is it 195/55 as what I’ve seen from earlier discussion?

Also any tyre shop recs in Segambut/Hartamas area? I only know there’s a Lim Tayar here and they seem kinda expensive. Also any recs for tyres that are decently affordable? Don’t need to be so fancy coz I’m only town driving and don’t really drift etc lol
