2020 Proton Persona 1.6 CVT Facelift Review in Malaysia, Best Value For Money Family Sedan? | WapCar 

Of course worth it

I never like persona or iriz before.. being a family man i need a good space and cheap car.. before this i bought a 2nd hand car and end up paying about 15k on maintenance.. despite having alza, it is 2010 model and not fun at all in highway cruising.. so after lot of research and on my tight budget i try on kia k2 sedan.. unluckily my loan doesnt pass because bank said it is pre reg (2nd hand tag). So end up buying persona exec. To my surprise, my new car is way better than proton test drive car.. and the more i use it, the more i lov it.. despite the cvt slugginesh, this persona cvt + engine tune is balance in way its carry the body.. the cvt is not as good as other brand cvt, but the power is there all the time.. not feeling slow cvt as nissan despite it smoothness (tried on fluence).. after 1 year 9 months of ownership i am happy with this new persona.. on 39k km, no issue rather than faulty speaker which i already replace with better one.. so far, proton car and proton sc is somewhat surprisingly very very good.. even claim on false start accident before and it only takes about 2 weeks for repairing front part including new radiator, new super rigid metal which cost 1k, new bonnet, new bumper.. overall for 50k paid, it is more than enough.. cvt broken? Meh, drive it like cvt not regular at la..

I stopped looking down on this car when my father brought one home. And since that moment i’m impressed with the car until today. The standard spec is very value for money since mechanically the personas are same throughout the range.

Mine is Persona executive. For 1 year 2 months ownership, the sequek at dashboard and side door is there. Nothing I can do as national car always like this 😑. But I love the handling experience. Its just something there that makes me feel comfortable and easy on the road. Engine, CVT is ok. Power is there. the sluggish cvt just need time to get used to it. Overall i give 7/10 for this car. Mostly because value for money

This review make me more confident to buy this new persona . Mantaplah WapCar Untuk maklumat yang lengkap 🤜🏽🤛🏽

Good value car. Non adjustable headrest at the back is deal breaker.

Great review! Can we expect a video for the new 2022 Persona facelift anytime soon?

Looking forward for the 2022 Proton Persona 1.6 CVT Premium review. Please~🤭

Yup.. For that amount, its a great value... As a 2nd car, id actually get the Iriz though.. Styling very catchy and unique...

When Persona came out in 2015. I compared it with my sister's city. Both use cvt gears. City has vsc, but persona is better, persona has vsc, traction control and hill hold assist. Persona's Back seat is longer buy one inch, using mum's tape. And the body of persona is made of high tensile steel just like the new civic. Yes, value for money. Cheers

Proton is changing the Rakyat's self inferiority complex one at a time.

Review the 2022 facelift!

Been waiting for this video review for a long time✌🏻😅

The cvt fluid used by proton on this punch cvt is mineral oil only. You may try to change it by using fully sync cvt fluid brand like comma, it will make big differences, less cvt noise and lower temperature, can last for linger mileage and smoother driving too.

Overall at this price it's a good buy .My gripes: after 6mths usage dashboard squeaks (same like my 2016 iriz.both bought new), cvt jerky at crawling jams.

nothing to talk about value or not, coz this is the cheapest B segment sedan in Malaysia... other options like City or Vios cost extra rm20k more... unless the City or Vios price different by rm5k to rm8k... then we will see alot of City and Vios on the road.. if u want a budget B segment sedan, this is the only choice... take it or leave it... : D

Review the 2022 Version! 😬

Finally you do the Persona review

I actually prefer the soft non adjustable rear headrest. Comfortable for slouching and snoozing at the back 😄

Regarding the rear seat head rest, I think the reason for it to be non adjustable aside from cutting cost is because Persona is targeted at small family, which as you guys expected, it will be mostly kids sitting at the back. It's good to have but for me it's not a deal breaker. The major annoyances for me is the exclusion of metallic trim on the interior and no foldable seat for standard variant. I'm not sure if the cost cutting here is really necessary. *gotta complain about standard variant since my 3 pedal Persona only available in this basic package

I didn't even notice the toad/tortoise shape of the car until I read the comment... I hate that I can't unseen it now.

Thank You for the review 👍🏻

Hi Adrian please do a review of the all new city v spec please and one more do a review of the alza av

love this dugong..owned the executive model as i didn't like the "Hi Proton" infotainment on Premium model as its pretty much a very basic version of what it can actually do compare to those in X50 & X70 & i don't think that two tone 15" rim is a necessity as well as i can change to a better 16" rim in the future..the only thing that i do feel the miss in the executive model is airbag where i only have 2 instead of 6 in premium model the best about this new facelift is that how they remake the looks at the rear bumper to make all the "this bumper doesn't look right" feeling on previous model gone just like that..the rim change is also one of the best decision made by Proton..now the side profile didn't look too weird anymore..but i think they can't do much on the front looks although the DRL positioning is smart..but still acceptable nonetheless..for the car with the price tag, can't complaint much & yeah, i dont care about front fog light..& i don't even know if i do need a rear fog light either although my persona have it..but DRL looks cool

I had the 2016 std persona as my 1st car..never liked the exterior but had to buy it bcoz was on tight budget..after 3 yrs of driving it, i could say it was such a very2 good buy..then last yr i sold it because wanted to try a non-cvt car hence i subscribe a conti car..driving a conti is absolutely amazing but having to pay above 1k monthly for the conti really made me thinking to revert back to persona where i just have to pay 50-60% lesser monthly..im in dilemma..

Mine 1.6 MT. My opinion is change new tyres and change to 16 inch rims. It will looks better..other than that, no complain..really value for money...i merely use 10% of my salary to pay monthly..

Hey Adrian, does it worth too upgrade from Saga FLX SV MT 2015 too Persona STD MT or Persona STD CVT or Executive or Premium (current model) Thanks bro.

Adrian: Don't have fog lamps but it's okay as it prevents you guys from misusing it. With that logic might as well don't put high beam lights cause people like to flash others

I still can't get over the turtle look.

Driver seat is big and comfortable for a 6ft tall person 😊 Couple of things I didn't like: it doesn't have automatic central door lock. Have to manually press the button to lock all doors. The updated media player, Joox, requires you to register for an account and to scan the QR code to play. Sometimes, it's not a 1 off scan. I'd have to rescan again from time to time.

why they remove the headlight levelling? I love using those adjuster especially in highway road.. and on very dark road without cars, you will find it very beneficial

I own Persona facelift 2019 exec variant first batch.....already 1 year 3 month using it with ODO 17k something....mostly using for long journey.....rattling sound at HU sometime at ugly road and the clearcoat on black part at bumper peel off...already approve for claim on that clearcoat after 2 days complaint at proton edar SC KB but not yet go for it because no time....thats the only problem i got so far...other than that it is very value for money car....my brother buy honda city hybrid on 2019....the quality of rearview camera is really worst compare to persona especially at night....honda city seat also not comfortable at all.....the seat in city is lowered making your knee bend up.....compare to persona seat, i can sleep like a baby become passenger in it....haha

No fun driving CVT. Cannot do rough pedal press to floor often. Rubber pulling metal, something is not right. Rear suspension should independent.

I get 6.3 l/100km. dont hog dont floor pedal. cvt lifespan will also be better. only sometimes can la when it comes to emergency.

should i upgrade to persona ... now i'm using saga fl ....

noticed most of persona buyers said maybe change tyre for better performance, anyone can suggest what tyre to use instead?

U are the best ❤️❤️❤️

Aiyeee still cannot get over Felicia lehhh

Can you doa facelist riview 2019 iriz white colour please

If there's a stronger word for ugly, that would fit perfectly with this Persona. Man the design suck balls.

When will they make another preve. The old preve still look evergreen compared to this elongated bubble shaped car. If they just put an improved engine with a good 5-6 at (or any cvt that’s not made by punch) it will surely cannibalise city and vios sales

Hi Adrian! What are the better size of rims & tyres for a Persona and also a new Saga? Your recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi WapCar, it will be interesting to see an Haval H1 or H2 review! Keep up the great work

Fuel consumption wise?

Yup,, no doubt, proton Persona is value for money,, I do like the Persona but no confident about the engine and cvt transmission. But I heard proton Persona are combining the Geely 1.4T engine GDI , maybe this one will blow everyone mind 😆👍

#Perogol nama abdul hamid sama si sandra

Seem like a good alternative to honda city

Its really cheap!! Tapi tidak ada di Indonesia, so sad. Come on malaysia, sell it again to Indonesia. You have good car actually

I also quite like this car.

western people seeing the channel name WAPcar like: (•_•)

what do you think of the goodyear assurance? some persona came with that set of tires

persona feels like proton decided to settle at 2nd best. everything also just matching, slightly better or worst than competition. Never dream big and kill the market that kinda courage.

Any recommendation for tyres? Xnnot tahan silverstone... so noisy and skids easily on wet roads

so can the rear seat fold down for extra space?

I live for tennis ball measuring unit

nice intro :)

This car is very good for its price, but ugly.

Please review the new honda accord TCP alsoo😇😇

Persona vs myvi ad which is better car value for money?

It's a great value for money car but Proton's QC lets it down (power window, gear shift LED, dashboard squeks, etc...) So I skipped this in my consideration

silverstone tyres are rubbish. almost impossible to balance, swells and susceptible to aqua planing

Sedan is not really my first choice...after all, how often do you fill the boot in the back?

I think rear seat persona not spacious if it shares the same iriz platform

For 2018 model, my fc never reach 8l/100km.. it is daily drive and i live in ipoh where got less jam here

Proton give atlas as3800 now. Instead of silverstone kLoser.

8.4L/100km?? My estima can do better

none will mention the adjustable seatbelt

The car is good. I just don't like the characteristics of the cvt.

How about manual?

Old one look better, this one is ugly, iriz also ugly..it win because its new but the shape n design is ugly.
