Proton Persona is one of those family cars that are fun to drive. Low price, very suitable for users who don't want to spend a high price to enjoy high-quality drives. Coupled with a considerable boot space, it can hold many loads at once.
Since the 2019 update, the Proton Persona has been one of the best-selling vehicles. However, nothing is perfect. The same is true for the proton role.
The biggest advantage of Proton Persona is its handling and comfort. Proton Persona has always maintained Proton's reputation for providing precise operation and comfort, driving on rough and uneven roads without any problems.
Proton Persona also has a good grip when taking turns. However, due to its high center of gravity, there are some body rolls. This is not surprising, because it has a super high car height (Proton Persona is built on Proton Iriz).
Proton Persona has the highest configuration 1.6 Premium model, the price is 54,000 MYR, it is worth buying because it is also equipped with various equipment. These include an infotainment system with "Hi Proton" voice control, 6 airbags, a wider suitcase size, countdown cameras, and front and rear parking obstacle detectors.
As far as ergonomics is concerned, it is not a burden to look out because of its wide mirror surface. Therefore, driving in the city is not a problem.
The biggest disadvantage of Proton Persona is that the CVT gearbox is very noisy. The CVT Punch transmission available on Proton Persona is still noisy even though it has been updated. Not satisfied with the noisy transmission operation noise, the instrument panel also emits some messy noise.
In addition, when the accelerator pedal is depressed, the transmission feels jerky and moves slowly. Not only that, even if a small amount of fuel is added, it roars.
The prices offered by Proton Persona are very attractive. It has strong driving and comfort. However, because it is not good at all, the CVT Punch transmission needs to be cancelled.
Interestingly, Proton is aware of this problem. The next update of the automatic 4-speed transmission will appear on the Proton Saga.
