Personally I think the acceleration of our model is better compare to the new Persona. The only thing is the steering floating feel is more compared to the newer one. Any suggestion on this? Especially when speed go beyond 110 km/h.

Some shop will align car wheels to have neutral camber to preserve tyre thread. Think original persona elegance spec will have some negative to it.

I replaced everything on the front end and all the suspension parts on the rear. Well worth the money. I had them replaced slowly because lack of funds. If you do it in one go, you'll save more. The car was feeling bit floaty and jumpy when I drive 120km, only after I replaced the rear suspension the car feels solid and planted on the ground.

Think need to check all those one more time ~  Engine mounting only to eliminates the vibrations coming from your engine. Nothing to relate with floaty feeling steering. Our car is old. Really old. Need to replace all suspension parts to make it feel new again. Oh, in case you're doing full replacement of the suspension parts, don't buy the cheapo aftermarket no brand/mitsubishi from shopee. Buy something with a brand name, they will last longer. Better yet, find Proton original is the best, but they cost a pretty penny.

How's your persona doing?
Today I found my rear brake light shorted. One of the light bulb socket melted. Now the bulb stuck inside the rear light thingy because it was melted by the heat.

If 7 years of dog year is our one year, i wonder if there's a similar analogy to car. Edit: Anyway car been having difficulties to start time to time, new starter that changes last year, spark plugs that changed 10,000km ago, and less than 1 year old of batteries. The coil packs that turned brown actually got me suspicious and i changed all 4 of them. Now the engine sounds a lot more better and butt feels more responds.

Blower motor is not hard to change, control panel might be a more tricky problem to DIY. All the best on your road to repair your Persona!
