I see. but how about the r3 parts? is it true that if i install r3 stuff it won't void the warranty?

Someone had mention adding bodykits wont void the warranty, but rim/brake will do.
So if i change to same size rim, will void also?

persona got R3 meh? i tot currently Only satria got

there's no r3 for persona. but apparently if you buy the performance parts from r3 (brake pads etc...) and install on ur ride, it won't void your warranty.

currently i'm thinking about upgrading the air filter...open pod or what not. but i'm afraid that it will void the warranty.

i'm nt sure about upgrading the rims though...sifu sifu sekalian any pointers?

anyone doing modification to pesona? interior or exterior ?

can share picture here...

persona stock rim is 15"x6J.

Most of the aftermarket taiwan or local rims are 15x6.5" and comes with different offset.

So? of coz void lor.

I am a manual transmission driver, once i tested a manual Persona, I was totally disappointed because of 2 things -

- The clutch spring is so strong, abit like Savvy, and your leg will get tired just after awhile.
and you have to let go so much of the pedal before the clutch actually bites.
Its so uncomfortable to drive.

Don't know if this can be adjusted.


- The armrest in the middle is so high that I can't change the manual gearstick properly, the armrest gets in the way.



These 2 reasons actually changed my decision about buying a Persona.

Any comments anyone?...

Hello there ex-troller. I thought you hate Proton cars?

i personally like the armrest, kinda suits me as it resting my arm comfortably

r3 parts will not void ur warranty coz its from proton also ma, so go figure

clutch can be adjust 1.. if u noe, u can even do it yourselve.. my dad adjust himself for our manual wira..

armset i think is fine cz i m driving auto.. all my frens who sat my car before say the armset is very nice.. for manual car i m not sure cz usually i will not leave my hand from the gear when driving my manual wira.. (my gf likes it.. she say very yeng o.. ha)

Hello everybody!

I've been a silent read for this particular topic, Persona V4 for quite some time. Thought I'd register today to share some of opinions with the rest of the members here. Anyway, I've had a quick chat with 'Proton-Live'! feature on thier webpage, and here's the conversation log;

Sharon says:
hi and welcome to PROTON >> LIVE!

Sharon says:
how can I help you?

sebnimh84 says:
good afternoon sharon

sebnimh84 says:
I own a Persona, purchased in July

sebnimh84 says:
I've performed my first 1000km service

sebnimh84 says:
for my 5000km service, I was wondering if I can bring my own materials? Such as engine oil, brake fluids

sebnimh84 says:
and so forth

Sharon says:
sorry, those materials are compulsory to be use at the service centre

Sharon says:
you can have a call to Proton Icare for further information

Sharon says:
1300 880 888

sebnimh84 says:
you mean I can't bring my own materials? I have to use Proton's materials (Petronas brand)

Sharon says:
yes

sebnimh84 says:
another question.

sebnimh84 says:
I visited the branch in section 13 as my tail light on the left side is not functional, and they told me it'd take them 6 hours for them to fix this, even though I've performed a service-booking in advance

Sharon says:
maybe there are other service case are undergoing

Sharon says:
so, they have to delay your booking

Sharon says:
sorry for this incident happened

sebnimh84 says:
as for the servicing, I understand there is a booklet which states service until 15,000km if I'm not mistaken

sebnimh84 says:
does this mean after 15,000km, I can service my car at third party vendors and the warranty is still valid?

Sharon says:
no, means after the 15000km, you can either service at the third party or Proton edar, but the warranty had expired

sebnimh84 says:
I thought the warranty covers 5 years/100,000km whichever comes first.

Sharon says:
no, that is the extended warranty that is still going on

sebnimh84 says:
what does the extended warranty cover

Sharon says:
the extended warranty coverage for electrical or mechanical breakdown

sebnimh84 says:
for instance engine is giving problems, gearbox problems, etc, correct?

Sharon says:
yes, correct

sebnimh84 says:
so which means

sebnimh84says:
after 15k, I can service third party/proton

sebnimh84 says:
will still cover the engine and other components

sebnimh84 says:
correct?

Sharon says:
yes

Sharon says:
but for further information, you are advised to have a call to Prorton icare

sebnimh84 says:
even third party service?

Sharon says:
1300 880 888

sebnimh84 says:
good to hear. question

sebnimh84 says:
much does the 5000km service usually cost?

Sharon says:
sorry, i have no information regarding the servicing cost

Sharon says:
for your information, this is a marketing channel

Sharon says:
we dont have the details infor regarding this

Sharon says:
hope you can understand

Sharon says:
and you are advised to have a call to either the service centre or the Proton icare for this info

sebnimh84 says:
nothing online? cause the proton website doesn't have a FAQ

Sharon says:
for your info, you can have call to send an email to them:)

Sharon says:
1300 880 888 or i.care@proton.com

Sharon says:
is this ok for you sebastian?

sebnimh84 says:
alright thank you

Well well. Looks like the online live chat thingy doesn't want to reveal too much info at all. I guess it's mostly for sales? Anyway this info definitely helped me out a lot and I hope this info can help you guys as well.
