Gosh, it is bad (esp health) to keep the plastics. Since this is Persona thread, maybe put a owner list, color and x-line on the 1st page?

i'm not sure about M and H-line models, but i noticed that the B-line "triangle glass" (the small piece of glass for passenger door) is made from plastic. found about this on saturday evening at Kenala Jaya Gaint hypermarket where they have a B-line on display.

Most owners will not bring their cars back for service once the warranty period expires due to higher prices...
Is it true???
*
very true. and not to mention about waiting time since they are mostly under staff, or just slacking off.

new design iswara will replace OLD ISWARA CAR on next year tooo...
Just wonder will they use same design from Persona or not?

oh, you mean the BLM?
from spy shots, it doesn't resemble the iswara at all.

i phone proton customer line and asked them when i can receive car
ANSWEr : not sure la sir, cause the production is focused on the new car

i asked how long to wait

answer : not sure la.....cannot promise you

boHoooo hooo

i hate u PERSONA!

laugh.gif tongue.gif

well, i'm rather surprised that they didn't stock up on neos before start production on the persona. after all, the sales of neo already superceed savvy. plus, i don't see what's so difficult upgrading M-line neos to H-line.

sorry, OT tongue.gif

After driving my Persona around for the past few days,i've concluded wit the following:

1) Very comfortable n pleasant drive.(i know coz i drove it from penang to kl)
2) Pump full tank petrol only rm65,can go up to 450km.(highway driving+city driving)
3) Workmanship is so-so....so far i found 4 defects already.Wont say them to avoid bashers.
4) Performance wise,i havent really gone above 3000rpm yet so cant really test its power n pick up.But driving under 3k rpm is sufficient to achieve speeds up to 110km/h.
5) Has a solid feel to the car,gives the feeling tat tis car can take on some harsh road conditions/driving.

wow, now this got me interested.
might give it a test drive sometime next week when i'm free.
