Proton Persona 1.6M

don noe if its jus mi......feels tat proton driving position is designed in a way tat steering wheel is v close to e thigh even at e highest setting . not v right for mi

 

Maybe you can adjust the seat height?BTW i feel that Persona FC is more better than GEN-2,Big boot space somemore.

OK for average Joe. But, for lanky Tom, there's a limit on how low one can tahan - too low, it will be a pain and caused numbness for some people. Need to open legs wide wide like prostitutes also. Otherwise, will be steering the car with legs. Sad that the ergonomics is just not there.

 

No wonder the Perodua Myvi is selling like hot cakes in Boleh Land albeit with inferior handling and small boot. Most 1.6 or even 2.0L cars can't even beat the legroom offered by this mini car.

i'm a new owner of a persona 1.6m. after owning contis for the past few years, i would say this is a good replacement: fun to drive, much better finishing (after what i saw in the gen2 some yrs back) and surprisingly good fuel economy. i got it 2nd hand so it was a good buy for me by all stds.

 

another plus point: i always use auto stop when fueling locally and this persona always stops fueling at just nice swee swee 3/4 tank. very jb-frenly car i tot :)

Good for you. Congrats. I nearly bought a 2nd hand one. It was going for a song for a relatively new car. However, I just can't as I need to to crawl in and out of this car.

Yes. We will really say WOW for the handling. The steering wheel is a bit heavy at car park speed. But when doing cornering, .

I was beating a red light, doing 90^o turn. It did not throw us to one side. I was very impressed.

Very stylish indeed! But never drove it before.

donot know

[Kzy]

is a good car.. cheap... only thing bad is the torque and brakes... and also there's no legal pipes availiable.. sad to say... alot of parts can be found in malaysia and damn cheap too.. =D the handling i feel is almost perfect for a 1.6m persona... very responsive...

just buy!! gd gd ar this car.. lols

[Ruriimasu]

i just got this car. i found reverse parking with this car difficult. somehow something feels wrong. is the rear too high? or side mirrors too small? or side mirrors' reflection weird? i dont know.. just find parking needs a lot of practise and getting use to with this car. everything else is nice, especially when cornering

 

anyone had reverse parking dificults with persona and can share tips to overcome this quickly? err.. other than installing a rear camera

[Kangadrool]

Persona backside is too high, that's why.

 

Right wing mirror needs some getting use to it.
