Tok cock only. Called Proton-I-don't-really-care to let them know my complains for 1st service 3 days before i go to SC and they promised will inform SC and follow up closely yadda yadda. When come to SC, SC say no such thing received from HQ(this is a big branch, not dealer), then SC advisor continue to give me grandma story about using semi-synth oil/full synth oil will cause my engine to have noise and void warranty yadda yadda.

E-mailed to Proton-I-don't-know-what-u-talking-about regarding their expert SC advisor and no reply yet from them.

Ho hum.

halo...engine and gearbox only?.....lor....so those gear oil engine oil or so u call it as wear and tear parts must pay as per service la?.

hi all i'm new here.. i want to know which car is better choice?? a new myvi or persona, or used japanese car? but i have no confident with proton, my family n my friend adviced not to buy proton due to their poor quality. my brother waja n my friend new saga all got problem.. how bout persona? is there any major problem?

hey guess wat...

i saw proton CEO Syed Zainal just now with his own Persona in PJ bazaar ramadhan...was queing for the popiah in seksyen 14 there when this black persona came parking...

the car was nice...leather seat interior with orange trimmings...black 16 inch rims...painted grey grills for front and back..no more chrome nonsense...solid met black...skirting front side and back...nice!!!.

i'm just booking hl persona last night and pay booking fees at batu cave showroom...
the sa told me can get car fast if don select colour.
still decide...
and i will trade in my old wira for it
the sa tell me i can trade in the car when the new persona arrived,so then i can still drive my lovely wira for some moment...
just abit confuse...
cause before that i had ask at another showroom, they want me trade in the car before apply loan.
Cause i want to trade in the wira to be the downpayment of the car.
so that they told me they need to know how much to apply the loan.
And that will make me short of transportation while the long waitting period of persona.
, then now yesterday another sa told me loan can apply first for approval but the amount can change de at after.
izit correct...?
hehe first time buy car myself...no knowledge
 

And congrate to all the guys/gals that get urs persona alr!!!
So jealous jealous...  

hi all another testimony from me. just for sharing.
my wifes car is baseline auto.
just change metal rim to gen2 sport rim. i really must say theres a difference between rim besi and alloy in ride feel. i know, it could be psychological thing but fact it is lighter, softer on bumps and holes (or maybe air pressure been reduced? dunno) but overall im happy with it.
im using the gen2 bunga raya rim type. alot of people ask me why i pick this rim. answer is simple, standard, cheap, better than rim besi.
the tyres i got is goodyear nct. yes, i like it but the only drawback like somebody said is when do a slow cornering or u-turn, got sound a bit.

talk about u turn, road near my house requires me to do quiet narrow u-turn, so everyday i will take that uturn. but till today i still can get a perfect u turn without reversing). i can do it with other car, even merc can do 1 perfect turn. but merc, of course la, point is most car can do it. if they take 1 side a bit before turning.
moving on, the rear view mirrow. from reading the manual now i know that handle flip is meant for anti light glare during night. move it towards you to have anti glare, move back for normal daylight. i also notice the mirror reflection is blur intermittently due to vibration. later i found out, my radio is too loud, and the bass is causing that slight vibration. hahaha.
steering, like most people complain say its too plastic and hard. i think its decent enough by European standard for normal basic cars. my previous renault steering is also having similar material.
seats? the seats are great arent they? not too hard like waja, and not too soft as you want to use it for 10 years. baseline dont have adjustable height driver seats, and folding rear seats. but i figured, less is more. besides, its comfortable enough, ive had height adjustable seats before, and it breaks in 5-7 years.
hmm, what else, bought hp travel charger, plug it in and its working. great.
after nearly a week driving, still not used to parking especially rear. side mirror is too small, yes.
about the engine, now i know its a rev happy engine. couple with that tranny, i find it hard to keep myself from not speeding on highway. the extreme hot hood is gone, the burnt smell is gone, my aircond is set to middle, which is 25c i think, does not ON the fan and compressor quite often now. i find the temperature is cold enough for front and back passanger, with tinting of course. for fast cooling effect, during initial startup, i use recycle and top air direction.
the boot? yes the boot. it can fit four 15 inch metal rims, FLAT without stacking. marvelous.
the sound for remote locking is classy and exclusive (i hope). unlike the one in waja you have this irritating "chuut!-chuut!" sound. the alarm itself is horn based which can be pretty loud and embarrassing but isnt all alarm is?
the brakes, like i said before its a bit soft. but yesterday i had to do some emergency braking during high speed. not till stationary but i had to apply brake hard. and its comforting to know that it is good. the more importing thing is, i have good level of control on the car when braking. even though its not rear disc, abs and ebd, its still manageable. those who need abs and ebd is either a lady or Micheal Schumacher i think.
overall, general satisfaction is high for this car. its really value for money. and its simply the best car i can get with that price tag. i just want to tell everybody how great this car is. and actually, i feel kinda sorry for those who bought myvi. i just cant imagine how its like doing corners on long journey with that car. and the interior build quality is nothing to shout about. maybe the engine is good.
i also feel lucky my wife didnt buy city or vios. yes, FC is good but my goodness the body shell?? its nearly twice the price and i simply think its not worth it. those who bought city/vios must be thinking they are getting civic/altis or maybe camry. yes when comparing to persona, off course civic/altis/camry win hands down. but when compare to city/vios along with price factor, it is way sensible buy.

lastly, congratulation to everybody.

thanks...i thought so...no i dont normally carry 5 ppl...lagi2 semalam all big size ppl....

selamat hari raya anyways...

this is my latest car pic...

yeah.. ive givenup with autowor** when i found out its full with foreign make salesman, and automotive industry managers. most of them from opposition party too. too much time on their hand coz expat boss is not around.
there are chinese and indian in proton as top engineers and designers, and suppliers, and vendors - a true malaysian company. but still they bash because its malaysian. so who said only malay suka badmouth, jatuhkan orang and spread rumors? this type of people tidak terhad pada sesuatu kaum. the type yang bakal menjatuhkan negara.
