Few days ago i go proton showroom, kot kot they got insider info how much the price and also want to test proton persona.
So as i go in, didnt tell them about the x50 first. Told them I am interested in the persona. Took for test drive.

My review for proton persona:
Power comparable to vios.
Handling quite similar to vios.
Surprisingly Nvh better than vios especially when pecut time. Vios engine noise also noticeably louder.
Interior feel a bit less elegant than vios but its ok for me.
Sitting position in the persona is nice. I like the fabric seats one, less on the leather seat.
I tested the executive version and the vios im comparing to is about 3 years old. Back to back driving so i can make the comparison. This proton persona very value for money (standard cvt 44k, exec 49k, premium 54k) actually which makes me still considering this car.

Next, i asked about the x50. The salesgirl told me its around rm75k for the standard version. I told her isn't this the khabar angin price not real one right? The girl said the price will be around 75k.. woo..cheap! She said i can booking for rm500 but i told her its crazy to book now as the price not confirm and i havent even seen the car yet. Then the girl said got many people booking the x50 from her, so its not actually that crazy..

Wah is it just me or malaysians very yolo type? If just 75k memang value for money wei to get all the extra compared to persona.

x50 low spec also tapao high spec persona la in terms of looks and interior design all.

not to say the fuking campro and punch cvt.

OK la my preve cfe campro and punch no problem at all, i just say what ppl gonna say later only.

I guess x50 interior will be like x70 interior premium feel. And what i have gather about x50 specs, memang this x50 more value for money compared to persona.

Its ok to be driving persona btw, not everyone's circumstances/thinking are the same.

Booking is not a sale.

I know not a sale, but for them to place booking, they shld have a certain level of confidence in servicing the loan right?

Does Persona still have little lagging when stepping on acceleration pedal when compared to Vios?
*
If smoothly press and accelerate like normal, comparable to vios, not much lag. For me how also cvt have lag since im driving manual but its ok for me.
If directly hard acceleration, yes got about 0.5 lag before it pecut.

New Persona 2019 is way more responsive than sampah VIOS. Acceleration also easily beat VIOS.

Yours is old VIOS? New VIOS is super sampah. I have tested and definitely can feel Persona much better.

Only problem with Persona is it's too ugly.

Not mine, my friend's. New engine dual vvti one.

Your Nissan sentra b13 faster than x50 n persona😁
*
B13 is my play car. This x50 will be my future family car. Was hoping for vw Scirocco...but too much problem. Bmw also out since not very reliable.
Family car needs to be reliable, comfortable and relatively powerful when one family inside. Also needs space hence only sedan or suv.

Today one kancil wanna tailgate x70, when road opens I let tat kancil ah beng overtake with one car distance then tekan immediately makan asap, why kancil bother race with x70 ar? Cannot brain these ah bengs.
*
Kancil usually melei play one. Maybe that kancil already swap engine into the 660cc turbo engine, enough to take on x70?

There is no proven reliability of x50, but definitely safer since shares the same platform with Volvo.
*
Based on overseas feedback, the engine and gearbox relatively trouble free. Of course in the longer term not sure yet but the tech used is quite reliable. If its the problematic tech like dsg dry clutch in vw cars, i wont consider it already.

Driver is teen ah beng, not sure what kind of mindset.

Haha maybe he is just curious just how much powerful is the x70 compared to his stock kancil.
Like how i was curious about the golf gti performance, so i tail it with my previous toyota seg with 4age blacktop. I know i will lose, but just want to see how far i will tertinggal hahahha

Hope it's a healthy one lol.

My engine is healthy, in fact just rebuilt last time. Wont lie, i had a silver inkling of hope that maybe i can just tail it and wont tertinggal so badly.
But nope, as i smoked real bad. My previous blacktop got 7.8 seconds for 0-100..

Proton should need to retire the campro engine, which was  on run since 2004, and was designed to last for 10 years. Now extend until when? 2030?

Campro engine designed to last for 10 years? Where you got this info? That seems like a very short lifespan

u belum fully try then claim is same or equivalent to vios  doh.gif

it can do much more but the down side is this car aint as comfortable as vios. the suspension setup is too stiff for my liking if city drive.

Plus this CVT is a disgrace....if you drive in crawling traffic....is a torture.

you must be asking why i still own this car....i got it cheap and my drive is almost 99% pure highway daily.

so the cons i have mention does not really affect me much.

1 thing i did to increase the comfort level is by changing the tyre size. Stock is 185/55/15 i change it to 185/60/15.

the comfort level increase significantly. with rite tyre pressure.
*
Aiyo test drive of course cannot fully try. Then performance how? Hi salesgirl, i test top speed ok? Gilaaaa.

How much you bought your persona? New? Test drive unit? Show room unit? Why cheap? Lubang ada then can tell me? Hehe
