Proton are always useless….Malaysia corrupted government rules by the so called Malas-yu (Malay) who only wait to be fed. How proton can be proud of. Only Malas-yu will be proud of because they cannot prove anything but their Proton that use to buy 2nd had model from the Mitsubishi. Go die la Melayu. Go back Indonesia and let the Indian and Chinese develop the country alone. At least it would be as civilize as Singapore or maybe Bangolore.

Plasic parts of the City and Vios looks the same as the plastic parts in the old and new Saga. Probably supplied by the same Malaysian parts supplier.

Hi, i have read your inquiry about Proton Persona fuel consumption, maybe i can share some information with you regarding the car fuel comsumption issue.

I owe Persona Manual on August 2009. Just about 2 months oledi 3800km oledi. Iam use to travel extensively as my job require me to do so. What i have been calculated cost/km is about 13cents/km for highway/ long distance travelling. That is about RM 60.00 for 450-480km

City drive is more fuel consuming that can reach about 17 cents/km.That about RM 60.00 for 350km oli. I dun like that!!!!

If you are talking full tank that about RM 80.00 for 200km oli, might be very very heavy consumption oledi. Fuel additive can affect the car consumption on fuel. Try to use caltex petrol. What you can do to know what is ur car fuel comsuption are:
1. pump full tank
2.reset the travel odometer to zero
3. travel to half tank then refill the tank to full again.
4. check the travel odometer on how many KM have you travel. eg. half tank have travelled 200km.
5. take the distance that you have travelled eg. 200km divide by the amount of money you have pay to refill the fuel tank into full, then you will can your cents/km.

Hope the information is useful for you.

If you think the new Vios and City is good,Think again.I’m the parts supplier for both models and several other makes too.Made in Thailand body,engine only licensed by Japan.In 3 years time they will be the same like Proton which most of you call junk..Think again some BMW parts are also made in China/Taiwan.So if you think your BMW is 100% continental think again.New Generation cars aren’t like last time where quality is the most priority.In order to save cost and sell it at competitive prices,Several conti and Jap makes opt for Taiwan and China parts

I own a Persona M-Line. Acutally, car is ok except for these small issues.
1. Don’t like the flapping sound from the IAFM. Anyone can share how to reduce this sound?
2. Petrol consumption seems high. A full tank can only last me about 5 days and my average travelling per day is about 40km/day.
3. Body paint is thin and britlle. Paint chips off easily.
4. Pick up is a bit slow especially when in 2nd and 3rd gear.

Other than that, it is ok. Like the car. Any comments?

Though Proton is not the best car in the market but it sure beat buying a car only to be in heavy debt. Why? Because others condemned the car and I was not sure whether it is true or not. Though I am a Malaysian and not really proud of Proton’s car, I do own a Persona. Why? Becuase it is the cheapest 1.6L car on the road. It is cheaper to maintain and its performance is acceptable base on the price I paid. Honestly, not all foreign cars from Japan or continental cars are PERFECT. Toyota has rattling problems with the Vios and Honda’s City engine can be noisy after 2 years of use. There is no perfect car but we can make the car sounds good or bad through our regular attention to service and upkeep. Like someone said here already, try to run a BMW with no or very low proper maintenance and see if you pay through your wallet. It has a lot to do with the drive or owner of the car. If I am a family man and don’t ram my car, the Persona is a perfect family car. However, if I am a young chap who likes to ram my car in drag race, it is not going to give you the performance as expected. Let’s be fair, we are comparing a veteran car producer like Toyota, Ford and others to a young producer like Proton.

Let me tell you guys something, You guys are all arguing here and for some of you I don’t even know why you guys even argue when hard proved facts are there.
Proton cars are known to be very very very bad cars. Come on who are you guys kidding???
They have been bad and they will always be, why? for simple reasons as Malaysians rule to tax out all foreign cars and making sure that proton cars survive, but how would they ever improve if there is no competition. They have bought over LOTUS has really made any difference? NO I believe.
So many good designs all around and the Proton cars are known to have more ugly cars then the pretty ones. Savyy? That mini van that looks like a toaster, The new Saga and exora are also not spared. I remember seeing the sketch version of the Exora on the internet a year back and it looked marvelous but when the time came, the car is made into BIG TV box. It is gonna be tough should Malaysian cars reduce the tax on foreign made cars but it would definitely teach a lesson to Proton.
No creativity at all when it comes to design. Services provided are horrible.
Lets leave patriotism aside my hommies and look into reality. But our cars SUCK.
