the socket loose....tape it with electrical tape and can last u long time or forever...mine after tape it 1year still ok...yeah agree..so far after the 1year 6month of usage...my car does not have any problem.....and i do drive rough like playing corner, going tru humps fast, and rev once in a while....overall, everything ok...and interior no plastic loose noise except for the air cond vent sound which is normal for persona......go for it since its best value and so so quality u can get....

its fitted....

19/20 or 18/20.......i pump 230kpa or 240kpa for front and 210kpa for rear....feels better and better pickup..

yeap..if the car no problem....parts still intact....then grab the 2nd hand H-Line or u want brand new car then get the M-Line...enough said..

use brake pads like RS,bendix, ferodo, formula.....improve the pedal feel and bites better....

normally, those brake pads and brake fluid, u can change/replace at outside workshop, as its better and cheaper.....

and for the OEM brake pads, the first few thoudsand kilometres, the spongy feeling is there and its sucks, so try using some other brake pads like "RS (available frm maddriver in this forum), formula IMP, bendix titanium, ferodo, or some other aftermarket pads which good ones..... those brake pads i mention, really improve the braking distance and give shorter distance when braking......pricing also not expensive from RM100-150....

just change the the pads will do....coz only pads will stop ur car....so use good/better ones sure improve the braking

wow....good fc...lol....me 60%highway and city 40% best also can go 300km++ with RM65=35liters full tank with the speed of 90km-120km...gear shift 2.5-3000rpm....automatic transmission....

no idea wei....but mine is 1st batch without iafm...but impossible different so much also....

yeap.......but try adjusting the mirror to more outside view...or get a fish eyed mirror..helps alot too

well....today i pumped BHP RON95 at cheras near UCSI college....due to only RON95 available on the pump, so no choice..lor...pump ron95 (yellow nozzle).....pump full tank, so far i didn't feel anything on acceleration or engine sounds weirdly, performance still the same and on board with 5people (extra 270kg)....so far pickup same like what i use to drive....engine startup same as previous fuel i pump....so temporary i can say RON95 got no problem with persona....not sure on other brand fuel as i heard some people say the engine become shaky and low pickup for their persona.....maybe some other brand....la....but i believe BHP's fuels are not bad.... .....but for me, i think rating the fuel that suits my car is BHP>ESSO/MOBIL>CALTEX>SHELL.....shell in my view, quite a drinker...

check ur rear boot or any doors whether is not close properly.......

Added on August 27, 2009, 8:51 pmABS is not to improve the braking system..but it is to avoid the wheels being lock during emergency situation like (front car suddenly stop and u jam the brakes and avoid the car by turning ur steering to wanted direction) but without abs, the wheels will lock making u cant turn the steering and straight hit the car...and helpful especially on wet as wet road tends to make the tires easy to skid....

i would advise, take H-line.....as the rear disc brake does provide better braking and ebd with helps the braking much better rather than M-line which is drum brakes......trust me, the 3.5k extra is worth and also for life with better braking....regret i never take H-line...


btw, the BHP Ron95 i had pumped, now meter shows half tank, total traveled for half tank is 230km with highway 40% and city 60%(with 15mins jam/slow traffic), gear change @ 2500-3000rpm with speed from 80-130km for highway will keep updated once it empty

@leongwk15
so far, based on my 1year 9months of ownership of persona 1st batch....well, no major issues despite my driving styles are rough at times.....


1) Fuel consumption? full tankrm65 300-330km, mix with highway and city+jam....
2) Build quality? ...normal.....so far,interior no squeaks or rattling.....
3) NVH? much super better than waja 4g18, and previous protons..., engine sound is well refine and engine not noisy when cruising on the highway....
4) Road handling?... good, got confidence to go highspeed with almost no floating or vibration feel

@ruztynail
the standard is 3.7liters is also more than enough....let me show u my recent oil change bottle where the oil balance after pouring till the max line and the remaining in the bottle left.....

*the circle and line i draw is the oil remain in the bottle* and the dipstick shows 1mm-2mm below FULL.....imagine SC pour whole bottle....


@mr_ashraf
yeap...another satisfied 1st batch user.... and seriously, i have more confident driving persona compare to waja 4g18 feels more stable

.....heard is due to power steering hose where its metal rod touches another metal surface that causes the sound...but, it might be other issues also....so far no solution yet....and i actually dont really hear the sound, maybe i am used to it d.... .......

Added on September 2, 2009, 11:56 pmwassup... ......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???..... but other than that, no problem....the problem occur now is the "uhkkk ddhhup" sound when go over a hump faster.....

press and hold the button (TA)...

do wheel off balancing and on wheel balancing........tell them highspeed vibration....if couldnt solve, it should be tire problem....
