Wow nice information you give there ! I didnt know about change oil thingy .. Anyway , I'm auto-transmission lol..dont know can speed so high or not .. Previously driving kancil 660, rev like mad man only get 110km/h. So curious about my new car ^^ , cannot wait for it Thanks again , will post my feedback here after I get it .

Revv 5-6k, gearbox kong faster, automatic gearbox is very fragile , 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... � � it's slow but i enjoy the ride and handing. I never press more than 4k RPM till now on the car ..400km+ already . I dont understand campro , sometimes feel like got power , sometimes no power .. When going from 60~80 is a little bit hard for me than going from 80~100.. Edited : Hey, I found its harder to brake for the car .. Is it because of Abs/Disc brake ? Feel it brake slower but smoother.. This post has been edited by danilo5753: Apr 25 2008, 07:12 PM

On my way Senior Member 525 posts Joined: Jan 2006 From: Anywhere , Anytime	QUOTE(apahal @ Apr 26 2008, 01:12 AM) Mine don't have ABS, but I have probs with the braking system. The probs lies in the disc brake and pad combinations. Thought of changing to aftermarket stuff, but after checked with PROTON, they told me this will void the warranty. I'm stuck. Complained to PROTON many times, but they said no customer complains. So, they not gonna look into changing their parts to better ones. Haiyyaaa... think I'm just gonna use it as it is until the warranty over. Than will change to my choice of parts. P/S: got update ah bro Danillo? Oh icic , I guess yours is M-Line then .. PS: Bro , I afraid I cant make it yet.. The Sales Rep say cannot confirm yet, but will make as soon as possible.. I guess it need take more time ~ QUOTE(Jeffery @ Apr 26 2008, 01:03 PM) then i guess we juz need to learn to drive persona... lol.... it's really hard to do emergency brake... Yea , braking is an issue here . Hard to emergency brake , but it can slow down the car really fast..

No, PROTON don't have other parts than what we're using right now. The pad is standard on all PROTON cars. I went to PROTON excelence ctr @ subang & also checked with service ctr @ jln 227 - both ctr gave same response. Wanted to try the damansara ctr, but read rumors somewhere that the plc service not good & SA selling cars there also tells lies to customer, so never went there. Bro Bobdog86, sorry to hear that you get into accident. I strongly suggest someone collect a petition asking PROTON to change this brake parts. Else, we just have to deal with it lorr. PROTON said customer never complains and that's the reasons that they won't change this parts to better ones. P/S: Thanks Bro Danillo... device works great! appreciate it. You are welcome Sorry for troubling you last night also , haha . Good to hear that the device is working great . I was blur that time .

PS: That day I come back from hometown , though of overtaking a Honda City VTEC on hill climbing ..but failed I rev until 5~6k rpm and the car roar loud and move fast, but yet not enough power .. Maybe because mine is Auto Transmission lo..
