hi all.. congrats on the new car..
as you all can see, my posting are getting more and more ridiculous already..
i just don't know what to else to say.. but i does feels great to share our experience with our baby together. this should be my last post for the week as i'll be heading for kampung tomorrow.

the reverse sensor, yeah i notice it too.. the reverse sensor sound is too soft that i had to mute the radio.
1 week driving, parking still i cannot get it right. im totally blind when it comes to rear viewing and totally depend on the beeping sound and act like a jedi using 'the force'.
seatbelts, did you guys notice how fast the belts go when you release them? its like going after your face or the window glass! maybe its still new?
today i started doing aggressive driving.. to really test the car on the road.
steering - steering is relatively heavier for a new car. could it be tyres still new?
when going through bumps and holes, im happy with how it dampens and wheel absorb the impact, (probably all bushes still new). but im not fully impressed with how the car bounce.(comparing to 7 year old renault and waja). i felt like the bounce is a bit hard (kinda sporty) and not being kind to your kidney. my only explanation is because the seatings are pretty low.???
again on the FC, the best i can get is also 10.5l/100km as stated in the meter. im driving auto but still i want it to be lower. maybe im expecting too much from a heavy car. its fun playing with the FC meter as i can see an increase to 14l/100km when carrying full occupants.
but my own calculation give a bit different reading from fc meter. every rm10 can only get me 40-45km. when FC meter tells me i should get around 50km. maybe a couple more round will give me more accurate reading. i also notice my campro engine when warm idling rpm is 0.9 whereas mitsu waja (manual) is only 0.65 both with or without aircond. this can translate to higher fc. mine is auto can anybody tell me whats the reading for campro manual?
on the campro performance, i'd say its great once we get used to it. proton said theyve improve the TCU but sometimes i can still feel the tork dip present especially climbing uphill. i like to think of it like a turbo lag you know, once pass it, the car will scream and fly. people who said campro is not powerful simply dont know how to drive or 'buta hati' aka blind basher driving. when climbing uphil, if you feel the lag, dont layan the lag!. step on it a bit more till change to lower gear, problem solve! and no, high revving wont hurt a high rev engine.

other than that, i cant seem to find any defect with the car for me to complain.

I thought new tyre will make the steering lighter...

Hi guys,

I just got my new baby Persona 3 days ago and kinda in mixed emotion.

Firstly there wouldn't be any Captor fitted in the new Persona (finished) and will be replaced with a GPS system instead. Earliest the GPS will only be available in early next year. I got an refund of rm1250 back for not having any of those.

As for defect, can I ask fellow Persona owner, whenever you open the driver side door, will there be light on the car ignition key slot. Its like a ring showing where to insert your key.

One of my back seat belt went missing, the safety belt warning not working, my rear door lock out of position, driver side seat belf cover mismatch are the defect I found thus far.

I believe the salesman because I get my car in 10 days time provided you are fine with any colour. There always will be someone that canceled their order last minutes.

I could get it even faster...2 days......just that my finance hasn't approve yet.

My HL did not come with CAPTOR installed.

They said they will call me later to have it install at PE.

Until now,  no one call me to get it done.

about the GPS thing, has anyone got his HL install with that? should i just call PE to ask them about it?
*
The GPS will only be available earliest next year. They will refund rm1k+ if you exclude either the Captor or the GPS.

My persona seems to be having rev prob. While I accelerate my car steadily (not floor it deep down but nice and easy withing 2.5k rpm), when about to reach 80kmph it will suddenly jump to around 3.2k rpm. It won't come down even after I lift my foot off but instead back to the usual 2.5k rpm after I floor it harder. Is this how a campro works?
