If compare new persona to preve, which is cheaper to maintain? Which one is more reliable?

Seems like preve components doesnt last long.

Persona is cheaper by lot. Example 80k km service persona RM2++ , Preve RM3++. you can actually see the comparison in their website.

https://www.proton.com/en/after-sales/service-maintenance

For me, all car reliable as long as u service on time. But for me on proton, it really depends on ur luck. u get lemon, too bad. u get good ones, then its the best of ur luck.

I do not own any, but tested both. i like persona more despite i hate its look.

Yup, that's my main worry. I was hoping that changing the tyres would help but apparently 14 inch rims can't be fitted on the Alza.  sad.gif
So, I will be eliminating it from my list.
That's actually my favourite variant of the X70. However, for now, I am not considering the X70 because it is a bit too big and I am worried that the maintenance cost might be a little too high. Thanks for your suggestion.  smile.gif
Yes, I like the Persona because it is one of the tallest sedans and the windows are large.
The interior colour scheme also suits my taste  smile.gif
That's good but unfortunately I find the roof of the new Vios too low and the dashboard is too high. It feels dark and dingy inside.

Well, if u like it get it then. Persona have good record, comfort, and cheaper maintenance. It is also quite fast ( not as fast as that lighweight bezza.. this lil fella could go 180km/h like nothing ).

I did google on the problems on preve, major prob is the oil cooler hose for turbo bocor, all engine oil will leak out and the engine might need a top overhaul... scary man... and in long term if its a turbo engine, it might affect the gearbox and engine itself too.

I think I will not get a second hand preve turbo for now. It seems new persona is a better choice. I will wait and see. Im currently driving a persona SV. No major probs so far.

i tot the preve was just a mule to test the turbo? no ar?

turbo is for show only ofcoz u can feel the oomph but proton forget about making it as ideal daily driver. u push too much, ur f. u din push, ur f too coz u paid for the turbo. LOL
