besides bumpy and harsh ride..
You change to smaller wheel like me, the new tyre diameter is now smaller by 3%....the drawback is consume more petrol lor.. tongue.gif

my target either B-line or M-line only bro..
anybody can tell me why i must buy b-line and why i must buy m-line..

any idea??
*
B vs M
non ABS vs ABS equiped

At least one wheel-speed sensor indicates wheel is locked, then ABS will kick in...this is crucial for emergency especially in sliperry road, raining, cement or emergency braking.

I drive cars without ABS and non-ABS, i can see ABS kicks in rapidly..lights on and off like mad.. during hard braking..hehe

If cars without ABS, either one of the wheel get locked, it will slide to the direction according to the sudden weight transfer...No matter how you steer the steering, useless..

I think the size of side mirror is big enough for me, maybe i'm already used to it.
the purpose of small mirror i think can reduce the wind noise especially when traveling in the highway, next time i should try to fold it in the highway, to see weather the noise will be reduce further or not when traveling at 150km/h

Fold side mirror and drive @ 150kmh sweat.gif yawn.gif dangerous and riskly lor brother.. blink.gif

ralf, M-line got ABS meh?

dinodegil, if budget isn't an issue by all means go for M-line. Steering button is really handy and simple to operate, just press the buttons to navigate tracks, switch to aux/radio/cd and adjust volume without needing to stretch your hand and press the buttons on the audio unit. MP3 is really handy too so that you won't need to buy those cute girly hamburgers to store your CDs.. LOL.. Single driver airbag gives you protection but your front passenger might not be so lucky. Electric mirrors are cool too, but too bad they aren't retractable like Waja CPS. Aesthetics wise, with M-line you don't have the two black unpainted side bars and side mirrors, and the stock spoiler looks good too (but bad paint job), plus the stock alloy rims are much better than the steel rims that come with b-line smile.gif

my mistake oopss. cool2.gif

my car is now almost 2years..can't really recall all the models and specs in details..

Do all persona come with 5 years warranty? I'm a bit confused with this..

the normal warranty is 2 years or 50,000km.. so the other 3 years is what? extended warranty? what does it cover?

my car is over 50k and replaced the door latch and got charged for it.. so i assume it is not covered by warranty? really confused here..
*
Extended warranty is for engine + transmission only. smile.gif

My door latch also broken..i need to pay for it wink.gif

wassup... laugh.gif ......erm....i think due to our cars 1year plus..and 1st batches....and mileage around the same as well....and might be the lower arm loose???..... brows.gif but other than that, no problem....the problem occur now is the "uhkkk ddhhup" sound when go over a hump faster..... rclxm9.gif

oh yeah btw...what petrol brand you use since RON95 came in to picture???.....me BHP...so far ok....
*
i teach you one trick, overinflate the front tyre to 240kpa or more(very dangerous), the front grip is less but it reduce some front weight loading...by doing this way, the "uhkkk dddhuupp", the sound is lesser icon_idea.gif

Lower arm, i think the bush already worn kua, not sure. I check the front ashober(touch with bare hand), no oil leaking sign..

Already make a complaint to SC last service, problem yet to rectified. wink.gif

Mine still running on RON97, pump full until vomit out on 31st-Aug..yet to try RON95.

what is the sum insured tat suitable for it?

RM43K?
RM40K?
RM38K?

for last year my road tax+insurance fees were RM1098.25 sum insured for RM45K

but for this year fees should be lower than that but the agent quote for me RM1160.45 sum insured for RM43K rclxub.gif

You are going to renew for 3rd year right? I presume it is a year2007 made then...Sum insured 39K enough liao..

MLine(Auto)
2007 39,000
2008 42,000
2009 46,000

MLine(Manual)
2007 37,000
2008 40,000
2009 43,000

Hope this helps..by the way, if you over insured the value, you get nothing also..BUT make sure don't Under insured, you'll have pain when it comes to auto claim..

I owned two new cars before.

MyVi for 3 years plus. The 3rd month i sent to tint. 50% comfort gold all round. Road block, kenak on the 3rd week. Stupid move by me. Sides and rear should have just maintained 50% and front at 30%. Had it fixed the following week and replaced to 25% front windscreen tint. And ever since, it passes block even though sides and rear still 50% gold.

Now i barely own the Persona for 24 hours. Just had the car out from the tint shop like barely 2 hours or so. Kenak flagged down by police. Say cannot see me. My tint (black) was 60% dark sides and rear. Front is clear but a bit reflect and it was 40% dark.

I went for such tint level cuz i saw my friend's Mitsubishi Triton with 50% all around is still very clear.

I know standard rules is max 50% sides and rear. And Max 30% front. But i have seen many cars with 60% sides and rear and still not that dark and passes the roadblock everytime like my mum's Kelisa.

What i didn't realised is that, Persona's interior is all black. Windows are smaller thus, "view" of the person sitting inside is more limited. So these adds up and made the tint looked even much more darker.....

Man... i never learn..... shit man... How now?! Sigh... someone please slap me. hahaha....

hey...just curios, why over time the brake fluid will decrease???....the brake system suppose is vacuum system...and also my brake pedal is not consistent where night time the brake is hard/more makan where press a bit will able to feel the braking BUT during the daytime hot afternoon, i need to press more (almost near to the max level) in order to brake the car better.....and i notice around the brake reservoir (the container that hold brake fluid), there are some brake fluid coming out around the area.....i clean it, but after few weeks, the fluid stains is back.....and i even topup more fluid, but it will decrease few months later... rclxub.gif

Eh...common problem, mine also the same..
brader,

I went to SC for at least 3times to get the problem rectified.. icon_question.gif

I notice car porch has oil stain on the floor, thought it was engine oil leaking...Okay, went to SC for half day, then tighten the bolt..Come back, still the same, car porch still have oil leaking stain. hmm.gif

Went 2 SC 2nd time, thought it was gearbox oil leaking..check check no problem..check brake hose, takde problem jugak.. hmm.gif Found out it was near the brake reservoir there leaking, mechanic top up the brake fluid and ask me to come other day, need 1 full day for checking, suspect pump underneath leaking...

I knew it is brake fluid leaking(red colour, mix with dot3 brake fluid)
3rd time, i told them root cause is brake reservoir cap ...they claim one new cap for me..i haven't open up the bonnet so far, not sure the brake fluid level..

Still have few minor problem..no time to check it at the moment.. wink.gif shakehead.gif

It depends on what is your travel route, distance, condition...

Campro(mine is non-IAFM auto..the very first batch), it behave very much like an old GEN2..stop and go condition, heavy traffic, you'll shock dead by the FC..
