Proton Persona User Reviews

Persona's second generation (launched in 2016) purchased a new proton persona 1.6 CVT senior professional (advantages): 1. Riding and handling: The price is less than RM60k, which provides the best steering feeling for the electric power steering system (not as numb as some competitors). Because of its higher center of gravity, especially on the highway, the body roll is expected. But on windy roads, the car feels very stable when turning, the steering feeling is not too light, the brakes are relatively good, but the pedals feel a little soft at first. The suspension absorbs the speed bump with the minimum rebound rate (the rear shock absorber is a little soft). Town driving is very good, with little steering force. Go to test drive, driving confidence ada, it's just my personal opinion. 2. Safety: Double front airbags, anti-lock braking system, electronic braking system and electronic suspension control system are standard equipment for all variants. Specifications are specifications, but when you drive, please drive rationally. If you drive dangerously and eventually lead to an accident, it is meaningless to have 100 airbags. Safety first! 3. Space: the most cost-effective available trunk volume, the most cost-effective headroom (1.9 million adults don't touch the roof when sitting up), comfortable supported front seats, and excellent rear seat reclining angle (many passengers greatly appreciate this). 4. Others: Proton air conditioner LO! ! ! Hahahaha ... especially in the early morning, wehhhh, ok ok sound system. Disadvantages (weaknesses) 1. Transmission refinement: Yes, yes ... I know. Proton's Punch CVT. When the speed is lower than 30 km/h, and the throttle response is inconsistent with the gearbox (delayed a little), the jitter is obvious. However, the service center did update and reset the TCU, which improved the throttle response and reduced the delay. The expressway cruises for about 110 km/h, and the speed is about 0. At 3000 rpm, the noise is even higher, because the speed of other CVT competitors is lower than 2000 rpm. 2. Space: Wait a minute ... I thought space was professional. In this case, the rear legroom is the main weakness. It is not crowded, but if compared with other competitors, if the front seats are pushed far behind, it will feel the tightest behind. Try it yourself, but adults (less than 1.8 meters tall) are enough. 3. Design: Many people say that the new character is heavy and ugly. But for me, I have proportions everywhere. But once you get inside, the interior design won't be too bad. Design is also subjective, don't judge a book by its cover? 4. Others: NVH level ... The wind noise is very loud on the expressway. When driving on the expressway, the tires also roar (try to replace them with better tires), and the dashboard makes a slight rattling noise (squeaking), so it is best to turn up the music? Ha ha laugh ... fuel usage: errrm ... if you are a super tourist, make sure you can drive more than 20km/l. But for me, I'm just an ordinary worker. As a workhouse, this car takes friends and family, and balik kampung travels once. In a year, urban driving (with a lot of congestion) averages 10-12 km/l, and road cruising averages 14-17 km/l. Everyone is different, because some people drive like F&F, while others drive carefully. In short, below RM60K, if you really want a new car, a car that is not very compact, you can transport 5 cars at a relatively good comfort level, have a large trunk, and have decent performance and handling (Los Angeles is really not that bad), so you can't complain so much. If your budget is limited, then the new Persona 1.6 is an option. Cheers! ! !
