thats why....i don't understand why they put that chrome thing...maybe just to add to the big blank piece of metal

is it possible for neo steering to be fit into persona??

also, what about neo spoiler, can it be fit into persona or not? at top of the windscreen...

i'm just wondering...

why called it persona, should it being call sedan gen2, while previous called hatchback gen2...
coz all the same, they know they make mistake in gen2 interior by placing the power window switch at middle, n redesign the door trimming... still it's too noticeable a copy paste add from previous gen2, why called it persona... haiz... still the best proton car is old saga knight...

i think the intention was to provide a sedan model of gen2.
people has this perception that hatchback (gen2) is small and sedan is big.
i can say that gen2 (hatchback) boot volume is almost as wira sedan.

if u drive a gen2, u might find that the steering wheel is as good as u need it.
it is suited best for it. those tiny buttons for radio are at place where they should be. fyi, i drive myvi also. & wira, toyota seg, civic ak.

"copy&paste" ? hehehe..if it is on a sheet of paper, u could say that.
but on a metal body? better term is "reuse&weld" ?

white persona, cps engine, r3 tail light & smoked front light, mugen wing, r3 skirts..i wish i know how to photoshop..

Actually the Persona name existed in Proton more than 10 years already. The Proton Wira here is known as Proton Persona in the UK and some overseas market. Even now in the UK, the Persona is called Proton Gen2 Persona.

Selling the same type of car with different wheelbase with different model names isn't the first time for Proton. Take the Wira/Putra/Satria for example. The Putra is basically coupe version of Wira and the Satria is obviously a 3 door version of Wira.

As for the door trimmings and consoles, Proton is just addressing to customers' complains. If that thing is already bad, why still wanna make it into a new car? Doesn't make any sense. 3 years is more than enough to receive feedback from customers. 3 years is more than enough to address to the complains by customers.

Its not intention. It's part of the plan to completely replace the Wira lineup. Wira is available in two types, remember?
Gen2 replaces the Wira Aeroback and the Persona replace the Wira Sedan.

When Proton has finally managed to introduce a near perfect car to fellow Malaysians somehow you all will just find non logical ways to bash the car. So cute lah you all.

then waja replace what model?

waja replaces what model? i dunno either.
"it's like myvi replaces what model" thing.
maybe nowadays car manufacturers categorize cars e.g.
1,3,5,7,9;a,c,e,m;a3,a4,a6...
so consumer might think that every manufacturers also the same.

i dun really care. i buy what i like

None. Waja is meant for Proton customers who are looking for a more upscale c-segment car.

Hey, i have a fren who owns a persona..
He told me when reverse leceh a bit cuz very difficult to see behind..

It's like the rear view is kinda obstructed by the boot's height..

Any owners here share the same prob?

gen2 butt is higher than wira,civic ak,corolla seg;
so view thru the back windscreen is limited.

ur fren have to familiarize, then it's ok.
side mirrors are there to help.

haha..if u master the hard one, the easy one is nothing?

And so it's true...

Ya..Takes time to familiarize i guess..

this car is supposed to be the replacement model for our wira's.
just look at it.there is no form of imagination put into the design of the vehicle.it's just a gen2 with a saloon back and a strip of chrome

ive test drove the car when it came out and i must admit it handles/rides pretty well compared to a stock wira.
