QUOTE(wkho555 @ Oct 18 2007, 11:22 PM) Seriously: QUOTE(motortrader.com) While it is the same 1.6-litre engine as the Gen2, there is a difference in the programming of Transmission Control Unit (TCU) of the 4-speed automatic transmission which, like the manual transmission, is supplied by Mitsubishi Motors) which makes a difference to the driving characteristics by improving low-end acceleration, one of the major criticisms of the engine. Due to the absence of CPS, the engineers could not tune the engine to develop enough torque at the low end of the rpm range so the Gen2 has been sluggish around town. Source |

QUOTE PROTON has had a presence in Singapore since 1989, through an independent multi-franchise operator. Subsequently, PROTON Singapore was set up in 2003 to further improve operations and service level for its customers. Since 1989, more than 22,000 PROTON cars have been sold in Singapore.
Powered by the improved 1.6 Campro engine, the Persona holds promise of smooth drivability and ride comfort. It also boasts of fuel economy that is very competitive in the 1600 cc segment.
"We are optimistic of the Persona's performance in this market. The introduction of the Persona in Singapore will also offer the customers more options with regard to high quality cars at competitive prices. PROTON will continue to improve its product quality and make every effort in introducing more new models to the market," said Mohammed Azlan. SourceIs this sign that "someone" else is already enjoying CPS, VIM?? |

QUOTE(kcng @ Oct 31 2007, 10:28 PM) depends on how you define competitive  My definition will be to consume not more than 1KM/L or 0.5L/100KM more than others.. But for Proton..  |

QUOTE(wkho555 @ Oct 31 2007, 10:32 PM) A good way to promote 'Tak Nak' while cut cost.. QUOTE(kcng @ Oct 31 2007, 10:35 PM) lol beli DVVT then it consume 0.02L/100km and has power better then M5   Aduh..tak paham ke?? I mean more than other 1.6..  Not consume only 0.5L/100KM! Evan a hybrid can't achieve that.. This post has been edited by jVIPERs2: Oct 31 2007, 10:42 PM |

QUOTE(yngwie @ Nov 21 2007, 06:07 PM) i almost terpesona with the proton persona. end up buying a souped up 'tame looking' ah beng style 2 years old wira se fully converted to evo minus the big spoiler instead after all, i can't bring myself to mess up a new persona  9.x L / 100Km isn't so petrol friendly. honda city can go well over twice of that figure  test drove the manual persona last month. maybe should wait until the camxpro engine further enhanced. personally, i don't like a car with lousy low end torque Walao...18.XX L/100KM is considered good?? And pls la~ Don't compare an apple to an orange.. |
