Used Cars Review: Best Car at RM15,000 in 2023? | Proton Persona Elegance

Please subscribe, it would be great to hit 1,000 subs!
Phew, took me awhile to churn out this video, still not completely satisfied, hope time will make me better. I have this car for 9 years, still I think it's one of the best budget cars to own. Watch to learn more!
Thanks for helping me out: RY, ZH, SS.

Proper in depth guide for used CM6 Persona. Hope to see what's installed next.

dude i stumble across the racenotrice blog posts and really fell in love with the content there. The rabbit hole brought me here and it’s refreshing to see the style and humor from the blog since to be intact in this video. I hope it’s not too late to send this wishes (like damn this is 2021 vid but you get my point), but I hope there’s still more plan from you guys to produce more vid or article. I liked watching car culture, more so a local scene with this sort of approach and presentation.

[@undertreemechanic]

Tq buddy. Meant alot. RNR was a very naive way of approaching things. Meanwhile, this is more thoughtful but no time to do things perfectly. So many footages stuck in my hdd.

[@astra3459]

I add one more good thing. The rear boot axle is not goose neck type. Persona use advanced axle with dampers. It gives more boot space and convinience. Nice review btw 👍🏼

[@metitan1398]

I really fall in love Proton Persona Elegance since it's launch until now, best looking,smart especially in white clean colour

[@undertreemechanic]

Agree! Its quite good looking among the campros. Only Suprima looks better.

[@Roti_Gardenia]

I used to owned the SV version, bought on 2015 as my first car. The SV version is the last batch before the new Persona VVT came out. The SV offers a lot more than their predecessors, it came with the Strut Bar, an ABS & disc brake on all 4 wheels. I'd say issa bang for a buck.

[@khairulnizam2247]

nice review bro

[@undertreemechanic]

Tq boss. Happy CNY

[@NathanielYoodo]

Plus when this persona elegance and the saga mc2 add on ultra racing stage 2 racing bar, it will be a good fit tbh

[@_ZMTechSolution]

Naik laa harga persona lepas nii.. Memang best pun persona nii.. siapa beli second tinggal nak kena spend dalam 2ribu untuk tukar part suspension dan major servis. Lepastu bawa lah mesti best

[@truckman7123]

Hi, good info on persona. Can u comment about its cabin plastic quality, NVH and refinement?

[@undertreemechanic]

For that era of cars, the plastics are pretty typical. Nothing good nothing too bad. NVH is bad when on rougher roads but thats expected. Overall, I feel it is acceptable for what it is and what it's supposed to be. There are ways to make it better for example my steering wheel wrap, or splash some money for sound deadening. Seats are surprisingly great.

[@mustafaabdirahman1195]

Great review 👍 btw what is the manufacture year of your car ?

[@undertreemechanic]

2011 bro. Registered in 2012. Going into 10 years strong

[@jianboleow3084]

I guess CamPro needs a bit of recognition tho cos sluggish outside, but a lot of good potential inside. Best to ditch iafm and put other better variable intake manifold system in, then I guess the torque dip would be less obvious.

[@asshemey05]

Still a beautiful car

[@undertreemechanic]

I agree. Other than mine though 🤣🤣🤣

[@davidletterboyz]

I had one. An economical car with lovely ride and handling. In stock form, it could easily beat Civic FC in handling. Very predictable and very easy to push the grip to the limit. But it had its quirks. The engine is a real bottleneck.

[@HGChannel2020]

up

[@truckman7123]

Hi. The torque dip happened since u removed the Iafm intake? Poton did say the Iafm is added to get rid of torque dip of Campro kosong.

[@undertreemechanic]

Torque dip happened in all campros. Even iafm u still can feel it, just better. Iriz gave me better top end.

[@truckman7123]

@@undertreemechanic meaning to say Campro kosong, Campro Iafm and Campro Cps perform the same in acceleration? That y u don't reckon to fix the Iafm unit?

[@undertreemechanic]

Torque dip is the torque dip, its how the car delivers the torque, like our cars deliver max hp at 6000rpm for example. IAFM is the cheapest way to mitigate the torque dip. Turbo is best. CPS has best NA performance. To answer the fixing iafm, i just didnt want to pay the price for it. I also do rev my engine quite high all the time which didnt matter to me much. Iriz intake is half the price of iafm.

[@IqmalAziz]

@@undertreemechanic you mean now you use Iriz instead of Persona?

[@undertreemechanic]

@@IqmalAziz Intake manifold? Yes.

[@aaronprasad1511]

Hi sorry, in 5:40 you said you changed your brake pads to...?

[@undertreemechanic]

Trestor Advantage.

[@nigelchong267]

Add in the front & rear strut bars and you will begin to feel the difference. Whatever time you loose on the straights you will gain back in the corners. It is a nice car, I am still keeping it for sentimental value. But man it looks like you didnt take care of your car lol. I will be so sad to see my car in this state; no offense.

[@undertreemechanic]

Well, if i have the money, sure. It will cost half the price of what's its worth to do it lol forget it. There are too many unfortunate accidents that I just gave up. Everytime I redo it, it will happen soon after. Anyways, everything is spent on the mechanical side of things. Function > Form

[@elitesquadron]

Do you recommend this car for e-hailing?

[@undertreemechanic]

Its way past the maximum age for ehailing. I did it for 9 months and it was very fuel inefficient.

[@IqmalAziz]

Do you think Campro CPS has same torque dip?

[@undertreemechanic]

Oh yes. The IAFM made it feel better but its present among all NA Campro

[@Cinobangsot]

Saya ada 15k cash u kedai kat mna kalau di kedah hari ni jgak saya p tengok..skrng sy nk pergi tngok persona 2013 rm15500 mcm baru.sbijik sama tpi xdak dis blkang pn apakah itu elengen skirting sama

[@undertreemechanic]

Kalu dpt cari SV paling best. Spec paling cantik, cuma bodykit je yg kurang.

[@mjmahi4217]

Could you please suggest me best car under 15or 17k rm for foreigner student who can also use for grab etc

[@undertreemechanic]

Either a Myvi 2nd generation, or Axia. I would go for Axia. Handles better than the Myvi. U know, I used this for Grab 4 years back. My god the fuel consumption and the wear and tear hahahah horrible

[@mjmahi4217]

@@undertreemechanic wow 🤩 thank you so much but the problem is i like big car like proton persona not saga myvi axia is very small 🙂🙂🙂

[@undertreemechanic]

Hmm, its abit hard. That price range is bad for a bigger car. Do scroll mudah/carlist my dude

[@truckman7123]

Hi, how is this compare the Gen2 cps?

[@undertreemechanic]

Way way more refined buddy, in terms of NVH, chassis. But engine CPS is way way better than IAFM's.

[@truckman7123]

@@undertreemechanic I tot all d NVH refinement stuff of Persona was also incorporated into the last batch of gen2 with cps engine. They even share d same dashboard

[@undertreemechanic]

Can't say I know it. Sorry. But yes they do say its shared. Nitty gritty details such as the chassis maybe not. Sedan usually have better chassis rigidity and offers less weight due to the smaller glass.

[@waran1323]

This is a great review u should learn to make the video shorter 😂 u will become a great you tuber

[@undertreemechanic]

This was intended to be a super in depth review. Thanks for watching!

[@GF-mf7ml]

The only bad thing is the rear seat.

[@undertreemechanic]

Yes. Borderline C segment. Myvi is way more spacious, but im always scared of ppl banging the rear, nothing to absorb the impact other than rear passengers

[@AddisonRS4]

My 2009 model M-Line Manual drink fuel like lembu. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@undertreemechanic]

it is bro! Imagine my auto lmao. Highways are ok. My city driving with my constant redlining makes 8km/L HAHAHAH but its fun.

[@AddisonRS4]

@@undertreemechanic how's your persona holding up? Any difference in FC between IAFM and Elegance model?

[@AddisonRS4]

@@undertreemechanic My unit have this weird GB issue where the gear refuse to shift into first gear wor, need to come into a complete stop or below 20km/h then can change to 1st gear, if speed above 20km/h it refuse and gear become hard like somethings blocking it to shift into first gear and if I force with enough force, it will have this grinding sound like the gears biting each other.

[@undertreemechanic]

Wdym iafm and elegance? They are the same thing haha. For your gearbox issue, u grinded it too much before? Oil kept well? Or used too long?

[@AddisonRS4]

@@undertreemechanic I forgot the elegance uses the same IAFM engine my bad, my bad haha, Well the oil is always kept in check etc, and the GB never let me down since the day it got out of the showroom, will try and send it to the SC to see if they can rectify the issue, my only gripe is this car FC, my Altis is a bit economical than my persona. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@nazmi1429]

Is this persona better than saga fl?

[@undertreemechanic]

Dude, way better. No reason to buy saga unless u buy it when both of them are new just because of the price, now the price of used ones are so near to each other.

[@nazmi1429]

@@undertreemechanic what is the difference between elegance and sv version? And which one do you prefer?
