Proton Persona: Price vs Quality

My latest affection is the new Proton Persona. Many people lost their trust in proton. For me, with recent change of management, I have more confidence in buying proton car. Their promise is that they already changed the parts and flaw which they identified in previous model i.e. Gen 2.

As for me, my family have been using proton made cars for years and I think is value for money. Despite the usual maintenance, of course some parts, bits and pieces needed to be changed after 3 or 4 years. I, myself is currently using a second hand satria and it still works very well and can go up to 150km/h with its 1.3L engine.

Thanks to paultan.org, before they launched the Persona, I managed to have a brief idea on how the persona or what people claim as Gen2 sedan via computer generated images posted in his blog. My view is that Persona is how Gen2 should look like when it was launched a couple years ago. A better passenger space, boot space and better interior. Running on 1.6L Campro engine (similar to Proton Waja's engine capacity), I think Persona is best fit for those who want impulsive riding + less fuel consumption. I have friends in Proton and they said that the current Proton Waja model is the most fuel economic car when it comes to long distance journey.

In terms of price compared to cars of its class (Myvi, Honda City, Toyota Vios), Persona is better being a Malaysian Product besides Myvi, which does not have any huge import tax imposed on it plus its an upgrade version of a previous model.

Proton Persona 1.6AT H-Line Metallic – RM55,800
Proton Persona 1.6AT M-Line Metallic – RM52,800 (my choice)
Proton Persona 1.6MT M-Line Metallic – RM49,800
Proton Persona 1.6AT B-Line Metallic – RM48,449
Proton Persona 1.6AT B-Line Solid – RM47,999
Proton Persona 1.6MT B-Line Metallic – RM45,449
Proton Persona 1.6MT B-Line Solid – RM44,999


I've ordered mine and very eager to get and experience the difference in its handling and comfort (which many pioneer test drivers had claimed so). For sure It'll be better than my Satria which has served me well for the past 3 years. I just want to change to a 4 doors cars with a higher engine capacity and more rooms in the luggage compartment (where I can put my 12" speaker box and still have more rooms for other stuff). Wink2. OK guys, I'll share my driving experience soon when I get my new "TOY". transmission ends...

Mindset..Mindset..Mindset

If you keep saying you can't stand your job, you might lose your job.

If you keep saying you can't stand your body, your body can become sick.

These words captured my interest. Some people say you are what you eat. These words means you are what you think. I used to be a timid, shy and introvert person and still am now. But ended up after finish primary school, I achieved only a little victories in all the wars I've encountered. I'm saying to myself, "hey, what have I done to myself?". Started to explore more of my inner-self and did a lot of self evaluation. Not that I'm not satisfied with all my achievements, just that I feel that I'm capabale to achieve more than what I am today.

The process changed myself a lot. Inspite of those negative thinking and imperfection, I forced myself to do things which I really hate before (of course only the good one..but some also bad). I did it all just to see how far ca I go and true enough I can do more beyond my capabilities.

One thing I learned, the most important, is we have to be positive. If you think positive, the outcome will be positive. Take problems as your challenges. Treat your imperfections as uniqueness. Think of your mistakes as part of your learning. Then you can beat your subconcious mind and be a better person.

If you think you are good, there's a better person than you. If you think you are better, there's always a person who did the best in whatever they do. Don't stop challenging yourself. Start by winning small battle. Maybe you'll lose some battle, but remember, losing will craft you into a stronger being and one day you'll win the war of your life. Be smart in choosing your battleground. Your act today will determine who you are tomorrow.

Before Anything..Prepare Everything

BEFORE YOU SPEAK... LISTEN
BEFORE YOU WRITE... THINK
BEFORE YOU SPEND... EARN
BEFORE YOU CRITICIZE...WAIT
BEFORE YOU PRAY...FORGIVE
BEFORE YOU QUIT...TRY

Be careful of what you do everyday. Everything have impact to your life. Every action taken have its reaction from others onto yourself. Use other people as your mirror, and you'll get the real picture of yourself. I believe that every good deeds will be rewarded and bad deeds will be punished.

A Fresh Start for 2007

I stopped blogging after finished my study and started working. I never thought people can make money out of their blog. I've read a lot of blogs for the past few months. They are so wonderful talking about their passion. Some talks about cars, some gadgets, some even teach people how to make money from anything. It is interesting to read and surf their blog. I start thinking on what am I going to write in my blog because I want to start it all over again.
Well, life after study has changed me a lot. Lots of things happened to me within this 3 years. Had a car accident on my 1st year working anniversary, the front bumper was wrecked but thanks to my Car Insurance company, not a penny spent. Joined some MLM (Multi Level Marketing) to make easy money, ends up with no money. Moved in and out of 3 houses and maybe one more end of this year. Got married to a lovely lady on 26th May 2007. Got the first nephew in August 2007, my brother's son and he's so cute. And more and more and more bits and pieces of my life making me stronger and keeping me sane.
Well, will keep updating this blog later..
