Proton Persona Review

I recently bought a Proton Persona -- here is my unsolicited, layman's review. Disclaimer: I don't know anything about cars

Update: See this video by alexlovesmac which features a Start-Up, Full Vehicle Tour and Test Drive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVvzHiKNKZ4

hi david,thx for the review. i think i'll buy this car instead of myvi..all my friends urge me to buy myvi but after seeing ur review i think i'll buy persona. much more spacious than myvi. and the comment from ppl used this car makes me more confident to buy it, perfomance and value for money. ^^

@AKMALRXZ hmm.. wish i can get commission from Proton when people buy the Persona after my review ;)

Enjoy your new car!

hi, may i know how to open this car's booth with key?

[davidwang]

@85matchan you press the 2nd button on the remote control when the car is already unlocked. If you press the 2nd button when the car is locked you will set off the alarm.

just followed my brother to perak yesterday....

he uses latar highway(new highway to reach kuala selangor)

..he go for 195km/h with his new persona white H-line auto..shell RON95....

only thing i like this car is,even my friend's vios,going 140km/h(but already shaking)...but this car at 180km/h also looks stable(his old gen2 also shaking when it was new)

worth for money car.....i suggest this is 1 of the top malaysia cars..

[davidwang]

@ganezh17 195km/h ??!! Good to know that the car can go so fast but please don't drive so fast always ok :P

@davidwang It's me again. After the 5,000's service, my persona now burns about 14-18 sen/km (based on actual usage, not on the panel). Well, I must say I am happy with it now. Engine performance seems to have improved drastically, especially when I need it most, like when I have to overtake even at a considerably high speed around 100-120 km/h. Need to rush sometimes. I am pleased that I have made the right choice both in terms of performance and value for money. Syabas Proton.

I have a BMW and this is my 2nd car. It's a good everyday car. Especially once you've upgraded the suspension and exhaust system.
