lots of my friends Dont go for Proton.."sure will give you trouble" Perodua is much better... but i really do like Persona, big car and similiar price tag to Myvi SE. compare Persona and Myvi..obviously Myvi is holding the winning key terms of low FC, low maintenance cost, Resale value higher, lesser problem compare to Proton. the only thing Persona is winning are car Size and value for money....hard decision huh...

Im sure alot ppl saying just go what you feel what you want (then i dont want end up regretting)

Anyone encounter this problem??? HAHA

Hulk don understand...

Hulk cant keep all torn pants in the boot of Myvi. Hulk drive Myvi @ highway..it turn turtle. Hulk can crush it in 1 grip..driver goes to heaven fast & furious. Hhhm...Hulk thinks it problematic. Hulk must be gentle to Myvi..as many driver are Girl-girl only. Or maybe..schoolboy-boy.
Hiya..Hulk now understand ..its puny size engine only..1.3L how to run on highway. No wonder Hulk run faster as Myvi became VIBRATOR @ speed. And so noisy hiting highway...hhhm. Not comfortable. Myvi good at parking @ small kecik lane at Pasar Malam..petang..pagi only. Even Hulk alter ego..Bluce Baner Li don like Myvi. ..Headache....Myvi is officially PUNY car no...human say its a bus..no..its a plane..no..ITS MINI (skirt) car for Mini Skirt driver.

That blue is God-awful colour. The present selection of persona colour is still pleasant. Though I do like Hulk-green , it just doesnt suit the car. Colourful vibrant or pastel colour suits small mini & puny cars ...executive family saloon go for decent light colour. Balck & White suits all car category.
Just Hulk Growl.....Hulk choice, Hulk's opinion.

Hulkboy advise new car owners to monitor progress of your FC. It will normally improves once it reach 2nd service > 5,000km. Let your car runs smoothly 1st. For many who just got into automobile world...it is norm that FC within 1,000km is relatively high.

no, i don't think so. coz our petrol price is not cheap. don't get fooled by the statement "our petrol price is still cheapest in the region". i live in MY, you get paid in RM, and pay petrol RM2.7/l.  u live in UK, get paid in £ and pay petrol £1.2/l (just example) our living cost is high yet average wage is very low.

Hulk wan u guys to know that Govt cheat us. Imagine digging resurces from own soil (not even imported ) but sell at international market price. Telling everone that they subsidide...what subsidise u tell Hulk??. Govt need only sell to us Rakyat at rakyat price say RM1.92 / L..so that Govt earn less profit. Now Govt point us that if Govt dont sell u guys at market price of RM3.00/L , they can sell it to overseas at that price & eran FAT MONEY. Puih!!..somemore tell Rakyat that they subsidise...say lah they sell at Rakyat price lah cause oil belongs to Rakyat. Govt is an agency to sell oil on behalf for us. Not to make money...............clever to paint a different picture.

Is like catching fish at fathers pond & sell the fish to father at international price & gain fat margin.

Compare to other none producing oil country somemore..comparelah income per capita, price of cars, no toll charges, low tax bracket.

Hulk angry...hulk SMASH!!! remember to see Hulk at Cinema today.

Hulk in Money business...registered Ah-Long. Let Hulk impart what Hulk analyses based economic infor:-

Car taxation is government profit, fuel sales is Petronas’ (GLC) profit which also translates into government profit. The government may ridicule us Malaysians by saying look at the world market and fuel price world wide.


We know the international rates are above the USD 130/barrel. we go back to numbers to be more straight fwd

1 barrel = 159 liters x RM2.70/liter = RM 429 or USD 134
On 1 hand, we are paying the full cost of 1 barrel of crude oil with RM2.70 per liter but on the other hand the crude oil only produces 46% of fuel.
Msia sells crude oil per barrel at USD130 buys back Fuel per barrel at USD134. And not forgetting, every barrel of fuel is produced with 2 barrels of crude oil.


1 barrel crude oil = produce 46% fuel (or half of crude oil), therefore
2 barrel crude oil = approximately 1 barrel fuel

In other words, each time we sell 2 barrels of crude oil, equivalently we will buy back 1 barrel of fuel.
Financially,

Malaysia sell 2 barrel crude oil @ USD 130/barrel = USD 260 = RM 858
then, Malaysia will buy back fuel @ USD 134/barrel = RM 442/barrel
Thus, Malaysia earn net extra USD 126 = RM 416 for each 2 barrel of crude sold/exported vs imported 1 barrel of fuel !!!
(USD 260-134 = USD 126 = RM416)

So where this extra USD 126/barrel income is channeled to by Malaysian Govt????????? vmad.gif

Adding:

Not only Persona, all car types require full engine break b4 ur engine is efficient to run at right FC. So..dont moan if the FC is high particulary < 1,000km or yet send for 1st service. blush.gif

Another news source....its not rumours.

Persona will increase its price. Up RM3,000.

Most national car will. Many Region bosses in meeting today..likely will annouce when time allows. Price up is already confirmed, only matter of when??
those still waiting ...go rush ur dealer.

oooh ya!! One more to add. Rumours spreading in the finance devision that Interest ates to go up next month. This is rumour, but could be true as source from Registered Ah-long Bhd.

MHHee!!

Persona came in batches. Last week is all metal grey for B & M (MT) line. The week b4 is all Light Gold/ Blueberry H Line. This coming week heard is white & then soon black.
Its all depend if your dealer is resourseful or not..if they are sound , they could order big batchs if not limit to small quantum of 1-2 each delivery. Big delivery alsways on begining 1st & mid each month.
Advice is call them up & check regulary until they remember your even during thier dreams. Get your Financing sum approved earlier & push the banker to relased Letter Of Undertsaking (LU) to them 1st.
You can also get the booking refrence number & call up I-Care to check on the waiting list.
Suggest you could also check with other dealer if they could get the vehicle in weeks time if you chaneled the dealers.
Best do the booking direct to Eon / Proton Edar & not dealer. Dealer got their cars late depending on their resourcefulness...which is both contacts & $.
Just advise...HULK SMASH!!

MHHee..


News just got in..Price increase by next month dude. There will also rebate but the some amount is not that great in such arrangment. there will be some added features to complement the price increase.

Was informed also..increase of other car made as well.

Interest rate is already up for certain Banks. Starting with CIMB now with 4.1%. Other car vendors pulling up the sibsidy thus interest rate also gone up.

Proton Savvy will likely be sold to Renault & it will cesaed production at Proton plant. Howvere source not confirmed.

Several Proton big shorts resigned.

Advice to u..rush now for ur car. Best just take whatever colour available in High Line.

SE version will be out by August 08.

Just hope all my sourced untrue. But interest rate up is sure thing some starting next week & applicable for all car made. blush.gif

Saurce from one of Proton Dealer..a friend.

Likely..the new owners have to bare for the new prices. But as said..there is cretain arrangment that they would get the refunded rebate from proton itself..donno. Dealer boss reluctant to reveal much & he always change topic when I ask further. Just rush ur dealer for the car is just my advise.

As there is already awareness for the price increase many dealer nationwide is trying to undercut each other to rush for teh vehicle for thier earlier bookers. sometimes, colour of teh vehicle is not upmost important as Persona colour choice is good overall. You either like darker colours or lighter colour version.

Persona SE is it Special Edition? When eh? I am waiting for bank approval to take Persona M-Line now. If the Persona SE out next month, I am thinking to hold the approval first and take Persona SE.
*
Tot I already state..the new SE version will only be launched in August.

Just take my word the price for Protons will be up by July 08. Up RM3K..so which means u r to pay extra addition RM3K for ur M-line if u sign up by July 08. Believe or not is up to you..just Hulk advise.

I could be wrong..but certainly all dealers are now rushing for cars for the month. Price of steel escalated that results price up. Certainly rates goes up to...likely effect is much more severe by July 08.

BTW, what colour of your pick?? Whats your rate right now?? With which banker??

hulkboy,

Thanks for the price update news. Anyway, I'm still waiting for my car. Metal Grey color may take another month to get!

Therefore, I decided to take the blueberry tea color. SA said may get it within 2 weeks since on stock. Hopefully he is not playing around with me again.
*
I like dark colour such as Black & Bluberry. Its cool colour.

Did u get the booking number or refrences number so that you can check with I-care yourself. This week most of the dealers received H-line Black. Have you check with your dealer that price going up by next month?? I simply hope not. I hope my resources misled me. But it was him informing me that result me rushing up for Persona b4 mth ends. He wouldnt want to leak the infor if he wasnt my friend as he very welll know I would eventually rush him for the car.

One more to add..SE version Persona does not come in CPS engine but merely same Campro + IAFM. Probably the car seat is leather + auto-cruise & some addition similar to Gen2 Campro IAFM unit. Logically it price higher than the H-Line.

Is the scratch long .......if its just short, you can just buy this Branded outddor used waterproof marker & highlight it. It will be easy if the colour of your car is black, silver, red etc...if its metal Grey, get a grey one. This marker only cost RM4.00 ..its callde something outdoor permanent marker, used to mark ceramic, pvc pipe, metal etc. I got one from Tesco when it was on promo for my older car which got scratch deep.

Just a tip.

Getting some foreman to fix up for you will cost you more next month. Everything up come July 08. Embraced to price hike next month.

Predictions right. Rates up already & likely to go up again next month. Now to see if price of Persona up anytime next month??

I just curious that, last week I pumped full tank and the fuel needle goes max, but this week i pumped the same amount is doesnt show to max.

is it the tank got problem or the metter got problem?
*
2 things I suspect:-

1. Float kaput..need to change

2. U didnt actually pump full....let it fill up till you hear the nozzle auto-stop with click.

BTW, why would you guys like to know whats the full tank capacity. Dont tell me bro's still use the conventional method where you will see how far your car can go untill not a single drop of fuel left to evaluate your FC. Get real man...didnt you read papers or magazines, thats not the way to check your FC & is highly inaccurate. Want me to teach you simple way..?? ohmy.gif
