Don't flame me ah, just wanna ask a question.
I'm now currently searching for a replacement for my 10yr old Wira.
Candidates are Persona, Vios, City..... wat do u guys think? hmm.gif
*
The answer is inside your posting. If you have the budget, go for 'H' or 'T'..

BUT, don't expect the 'H' or 'T' handle better or outbeat the Persona by a big margin..because all of them are categorize as 1.5-1.6L small sedan...

just my 2 cents.

I wonder what the RPM at 90km/h is. Maybe it at 3000-4000 so with IAFM the FC is a bit high.

BTW the Persona IAFM comes with 5 years warranty program (EWP) included. When I asked SA when the Persona launched last year the Persona doesn't include EWP unless you take a 7+ years loan with 4+% interest. Maybe owner here can verify this.
*
Mine loan for 5years (3.88%) c/w EWP..extended warranty.

90kmh will check it out later

Auto
70kmh = 2000rpm
80kmh = 2200rpm
100kmh = 2800rpm
110kmh = 3050rpm
140kmh = 3800rpm

Just came back from PESC for service.

Regarding the water seep inside both of the rear windows, cry.gif SC confirmed the "rubber runchannel" need replacement, need to order and wait for parts. cry.gif

Too bad, i ask them to check alignment, the workshop ailighment machine got some problem. End up went to tyre shop do alignment. Before that the steering swerve to the Left..steering shake like h3ll at 110kmh, at 140kmh even worse rclxub.gif , the steering jerk like riding a motorboat. rclxub.gif

lol if send to proton they will charge alot rite... but then if send u proton you will get the exact paint colour la..

Still the same, Proton service center send your vehicle to their authorised vendor(that means after market shop ma)...

In fact, it is very hard to match the original paint with after market paint job.
I have a sharp eyes, that's the reason my ride has minimal swirl/scratches marks...

Hi All,

  Just call my SA's manager and ask the status of my b-line Persona. according to the guy currently b-line model is really hard to get. not sure if slow production or high demand ? anyone experience the same problem ???

  booked my b-line since b4 CNY ... until belum dapat..... cannot tahan man..... the manager suggest me to take m-line coz he got it in stock .... iskk ... like wanna short-cut and kowtim the problem like that .. hehe
*
Before launching, they produce more BL and ML, shortage of HL stocks.
i guess more ML and HL being produce after they learn the lesson(wrong forecast) , nowadays BL low demand...that's why need to wait kua..

I saw the 1 Persona with 215/45/17 wheelie...nice..
hand very itchy to buy 17" hmm.gif hmm.gif

Added on April 25, 2008, 1:34 pmu rev till 170kmh??? how old is ur persona? persona seems to speed very fast even with a slight push on the accelarator..
is it normal that the rpm stays around 5000-6000 for automatic?
*
mine already 7months old..
Revv 5-6k, gearbox kong faster, automatic gearbox is very fragile sweat.gif , kickdown and gearchange frequently at high rpm... but nevermind, 5years extended warranty(make sure u don't void the wrty by modifying the car)...even change to aftermarket rims also consider wrty void.

"persona seems to speed very fast even with a slight push on the accelarator.. "
Errr...to be exact, the Campro coarse and rough engine..revv is higher, but not moving very fast... sad.gif sad.gif sad.gif it's slow but i enjoy the ride and handing. smile.gif
