Kon , boleh Tak Buat Satu Video Bagaimana Nak Jaga Transmission CVT ni supaya Kita Boleh Pakai Tanpa Masalah Sampai 9 tahun. Kalau Masuk Group Proton kat FB. Kereta baru 5 - 7 tahun CVT dah Kong. Ada tu 2 tahun je dah Rosak.

[@KonWaiLuen]

Kereta I belum sampai 3 tahun, jadi tak berani sangatlah nak ajar orang macam mana nak tahan sampai 9 tahun. Tapi saya akan syorkan penukaran minyak transmisi mengikut jadual, kurangkan pemecutan secara agresif masa bermula jalan, dan juga kurangkan perjalanan kelajuan tinggi secara berterusan. Misalnya kat highway jalan setakat 90-110 km/h tiada masalah, tapi kalau tekan 160-180km/h berterusan untuk jangka masa panjang, ini boleh memendekkan hidup transmisi.

[@KonWaiLuen]

[@muhdhazman6303]

Have you ever considered upgrading the tire size? The proportional did not seem quite right to me

[@nabillarif]

perodua cars are the masters of short rear seats to give u the impression of lots of legroom...they basically have bench seat with zero support of anything , so probably proton took a trick from that book

[@KonWaiLuen]

The first gen Persona was guilty of that too. Learned that the hard way when I sat at the back of a KLIA Limo. My legs were so tired when I reached home.

[@asrul_hadi]

@1200736 yes. Maybe because the old gen2 based persona have a multilink rear suspension compared to torsion beam setup rear suspension on new persona. Maybe proton want to find way to cut cost so they just did that

[@zulrashamrahmat7266]

[@srisarvinnair5552]

I wonder why people prefers myvi compared to this 2019 persona, soo many refinements made in persona which includes its driving dynamics, interior space along with cargo space. My favourite part would definetely be its reverse camera with dynamics line, very useful for beginners driver like me tht do face hard times when it comes to parking with less space to occupy and maneuver. And all that myvi does is fuel saving and ASA 1.0😂

[@delta0914]

imo people prefers myvi because of its toyota engine and gearbox that is more reliable than persona cvt and campro engine.second one is it's look.of course myvi has better design than persona.

[@CCPJAYLPHAN1994]

People dont use common sense, they just think Proton = no good, Perodua = line up to buy

[@srisarvinnair5552]

@@delta0914 yeah true but as far as i know..its better to use public transport than a 4 speed gear box with less horsepower and torque engine 😆 and myvi looks good due to its available skirting and spoiler..persona 2019 lack of skirting to make it look more complete, btw its a family sized sedan so no prob

Even this new FL persona makes lot of improvement ,, but I'm still not much confidence about the engine + especially the CVT transmission ...

[@songkok7hitam]

Where is this location Kon? Looks like a government building compound. Good review, I enjoy your ramblings!

[@limpek001]

The rear leg room is not as good as you portrayed. It's very bad in the persona and iriz. Either you move the front seat too far or you are very very short. But you are right about seat support because proton seats are full size. You mentioned the lack of proper rear headrest. I wonder how they manage to score five star safety ratings.

[@ImranKhoo]

Hi Kon, I heard that proton have improved the CVT for better fuel consumption on persona 2019. Can you please share with us the fuel consumption ? how many km/litre .What speed should we maintain for economic driving.

Ermmm... what aspects you want to know?

[@GhastUnity]

Hi, I just got my new Persona, since the headlight leveling adjuster is gone now, how can I adjust the leveling for the headlights? Thanks (It’s too high so need to lower it abit)

[@yuiwayui]

If you didn't switch to LED or HID (HID is illegal on cars that didn't equip with it out of the factory), you are at the right height. Take it to the service center. Tell them that you would like to have the headlights adjusted. You shouldn't adjust it by yourself, as the wrong height of the headlights shines is illegal. If the height that you requested is not legal, then you just have to live with it.

[@GhastUnity]

Fang I switched to LEDs because those stock halogens are not bright enough for me as I’m driving 85% of the time dark and twisty roads but they are a little too high, Just want to adjust them abit by myself

[@yuiwayui]

@@GhastUnity Erm... Bring it to the service center. Let them do it for you, so that it will be at the regulated height of the light. I know you can, indeed adjust yourself, but if you adjusted it wrongly or not leveled, wasn't that a hassle?

I would highly suggest anyone who is planning on buying a new Proton Persona not to do so, after just 2 months of buying my car the air cond gas started leaking and gave out smoke and the car has been having rattling noise both at the compressor and in the car itself.After calling proton customer service, they told me they would have to pass the complaint to the same service centre. I tried explaining to them people are still buying the car as we speak but however it just went to deaf ears.I have been coming to the service centre for the past 2 weeks and they technician cant seem to figure out what is th problem, they initially thought it was the compressor but after changing to a new unit the sound the still persist.Imagine buying a car and driving over 2000km only & your car start smoking and has rattling noise, its damn heartbreaking & this ppl dont seem to take the problem seriously.
