Hi.. I'm newbies here. Just wanna ask the "otai" of Persona here. I have a friend at Proton that offer to me Staff Purchase. I wish to take the offer because i will save about RM6000++ if compared to normal buyers. The car is Persona 1.6 High Line.

But the only problem is, once I book the car, I will be the 2nd owner (1st name will be my friend name). And it will affect for the price of car after sale. So anybody have suggestion / point of view? Is it worth to take the offer if it's will affect future price for that car?

Another question, what is the most common problem about Persona Highline? And what the FC for this car - Price per KM?

Tq

ok.. tq for advice. er.. actually the interest also still low. I got 3.5% interest. My friend got - 3.1% (Proton staff). If I'm not mistaken, current interest is around 3.88% right? So, base from 3.5% interest - is it still OK?

- The car is actually 2nd car (my wife use kelisa).
- And I don't think to change any car after this Persona (maybe for next 5-8years).

Can anyone tell me the common problem with Persona? I don't have much experience on car engine / car itself.

That's good news Hope my coming Persona also don't have any major problem. Once we got the car, what should we do? I mean.. what to check? This my first car, and I just know a bit.

anyone got the "oil paddle" problem? mine - persona highline. got the problem, need to push 0-3000rpm to change from gear 1 to gear 2. some more, the engine LED on and not so pick up (i think problem with oil paddle). had already check with proton service at keramat, but they told better go direct to proton parts - cheras / usj. change the oil paddle.

i've collect my car for 3 days ago, then the next day found that have problem with oil paddle. i don't know if anyone here got the same problem. to change from gear 1 - 2 , or 2 - 3 need to push oil paddle till 3000rpm. yet it effect the performance of the car. So hard to drive on hill. my car is highline. by the same day I go to the SC, they said it is problem with oil paddle since its all electronic part.

does anyone think that this problem might be cause by gearbox? I'm so worried right now to think of my new baby. huh..

actually i will bring the car to another SC at Desa Tun Razak since the previous SC at keramat don't have the part and ask me to go to bigger SC which have already part for Persona. I've booking for repair by next Tuesday.

This morning i chat with Proton Edar Customer Support online and ask about warranty, she just mention 2 years warranty and plus 3 years for extended. What is actually mileage that cover in the warranty?

mine got a little bit same problem with you. have to press fuel pedal a lot - till 2000-3000rpm before it will shift from gear 1 - 2 or 2 - 3. i think you should schedule right now to see the SC. because, last week i just visited a small SC at keramat. they suspect got problem with fuel pedal. the problem also make the car very low pickup. otai-otai.. what do u think?

apahal.. wanna ask you something, are u using persona highline? when did u get the car? and when the problem occured? is there any solution for that problems? it seems like have some JERK when car switch from high gear and suddenly you slow down.

the problem was solved. i went to the Proton SC Cheras yesterday and they told me, it's something wrong about paddle configuration. because nowadays, the pedal is not manually let the oil flow, but the computer does it. so after reconfigure the paddle system, the car is back to normal. if anyone face the problem, may go to Proton SC, and very happy to deal with Proton SC Cheras. In more details, just use the word - "drive by wire".

i'm not sure about manual persona. but for persona highline auto, it's make a lot of different. before this need to push till 3000rpm before the gear changing automatically, but after the service, you drive 20km/h also have smooth change of gear. there also some 3rd party parts which can improve pickup for this campro i found in the thepersonaclub forum but don't know so much.
