Well, I am safely reach home now...

I used Gear 3 all the way to Genting (not gear3 in highway of coz)

I wanted to know, The car is not as power as my 1st batch Proton Wira 1993

The Persona got no Power even through it 1,6cc
or it due to new car yet ??

About the Fuel saving... Viva save alot really
( I know i shdn't compare Persona n Viva in fuel saving)

Well, Handling also OK OK only... sometime make a big turn in high speed, I feel the back going to drift or imbalance or unstable.

SUK i just bought AutoLOCK from forumer at lowyat.net which cost me Rm70 only. I think you shouldn't need to waste your money for unrealiable + expensive for that pedal lock. huhuhu

Ya..since some1 mentioned about Viva (600c-1L) whixh is definately Fuel Saving in City drive, lgically small mini engine. But fuel gulper in Highway so also.........dangerous when drive in highway.
This happen to my despatcher when he bought the Viva instead of the Saga/ Last 2 weeks ago..he drove to Kuala Kangsar to attend funeral & on teh way to Ipoh...his car simply flung (for no reason, suspect coz by gush of wind) & hit the divider..the small mini car was totally lost & damage. His 2 kids got flung out from the rear screen (windows close then) & one of which under ICU. The other was serious but discahrged. He as Driver was with minor injury while his wife fracture bone.

The car complete waste buy just hitting divider...this result from teh strong gush of wind & he driving at speed.

I told him..he wouldnt get into this seriousness if he were to drive Saga. Viva is not meant for highway drive. Its too light..no power. As they say..its merely a motor bike with roof.

BTW, the much reliable brand of pedal lock suck as Locktech (Thai) will cost about RM350.00. Its double security& definately convenient then the usual steering lock.

Yes.. i am totally agreed with you.....
we need safety... since last time....i saw few cases with kancil cars.. now viva.... its totally not safe at all the car...... Protons much better.

well..i use 2 and L...3rd gear before the police block....its not no power, is because of the power dip around 2000rpm-3500rpm...where most of the time we be using this range when picking up...but the new cps engine solve completely the power dip...

just got my persona ..
m-line .. black color..
very smooth ..

Just to add to Suk's comment.

Tot the car havent even send up for 1st service..already start reving hard & forcefully run all the virgin engines & compartments real harsh, guess its gonna age quicker.
No matter of what car..it is advisable not to push one nEW VIRGIN car to the max...engine is not even fluid or at optimum performance.
I tot all manuals will advise the new owner accordingly..be it Japs or Euro car.
Rule #1 . Do not rev hard for 1st 1,000km
Rule #2 . Not to overly brake hard.
Rule #3. Car is in minimum performace during 1st 1,000km.

I've heard very good feedback from the SC in Shah Alam,

I usually service mine in Section 13, PJ. Near Dutch Lady

best is to send teh COE along Kesas Highway.

would be getting red auto persona for my wife this friday.

hey guys..my car reaching 20000km..so its advisable to change the automatic fluid right??...how much will it be if change at PESC??? and spark plugs as well??..how much is the total cost for spark plugs and automatic fluid change??

5bottles for ATF. rm2x per bottle..rm27 if i'm not mistaken

everyday 6-7k rpm drag, of coz every 20k change the ATF oh..

what is your FC when the car is new?
Other than engine tuning, what can cause a high fc?

type of engine oil u use...like u use w50 will be higher FC due to heavier than W40/W30....then, air pressure, dirty airfilter may cause high FC as well (change every 10k)...other than that is your right foot...

Hi.. anybody has any idea how 2 modify persona 2 improve the performance?? Budget limited... haha

When i brake, can hear slightly sound especially when before fully press to almost completely stop, is it normal?

mine no such shortcomming. But some onwer has such screeching brake sound. U got to get the SC fix it for u on your rear dics brake.

Did any 1 changed the persona original plug to others brand plug b4?like ngk platinum,iridium,bosch super 4,or......need some feed back here.
currently using bosch super 4 for my persona now.but thinking of going to change to ngk g-power platinum coz i felt bosch super4 not stabil in my car.sometimes the car very powerful but sometimes like pijak batu more than pedal.

yea..any recommendation?...me reaching 20000km..planning to change as well...
