Close Encounter With Proton Persona

Segi Motor Sdn.Bhd Shah Alam Proton Persona Delear.

Today I went to see the new Proton Persona at Segi Motor Sdn.Bhd, one of the Proton Persona delear at Section 13, Shah Alam. This Proton Persona showroom is close to Giant Hypermarket, at Shah Alam and adjacent to Shah Alam stadium in Selangor.

It seem that this Proton Persona is an upgrading of Proton G2 for me. The car is bigger and I think it's suitable for young executive. I just look at the car and not even test drive the so I cannot said much.

Proton Persona is a nice car and look elegant. You can see the photos.

Proton Pesona New Model Lauched Today

Proton have launched it's new model Proton Pesona today. I have seen this proton pesona yet but looking at today news it look good and nice. Proton Pesona is I think an upgrade model of Proton Gen 2 model. I heard that the price is reasonable also and it come with a few model by itself.

With this new Proton Pesona , I sure that the sales of Proton Pesona will increase because the design is very good. But I think due to the price range of this Proton Pesona models, I think it slowly will kill the other Proton car model !. The price can be range from, like

Proton Persona 1.6AT H-Line Metallic – RM55,800
Proton Persona 1.6AT M-Line Metallic – RM52,800
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

Thus when compare other proton models, I'm sure potential buyers will rush to this models right. But if some of the Proton qualities not been improved in these models, mmm....one day it will come back to the square.

For me, as I already own the proton waja dan wira, I have to wait to the what market says about these Proton Pesona models. So I want wait and see these Proton Pesona performance.

New Model Proton Car

Proton is expected to launch a new proton car model. For me I have to wait and see how these new proton cars look likes. It may be looked nice or good but how about the quality of this new proton cars ?. I want to see the quality of proton car must be improved to make it success in the market.

After owning two types of proton cars, and all those experience that I have gone through with both proton cars that I own, I can said that proton should really need to improved the QUALITY of the proton cars to make it success in the Malaysia market today.

The quality of this car such as it's power window, door handle, absorbers, brakes should be improved because this is from my own opinion about the cars. The proton cars should be problem free at least for the first three years. I have headache experiences with my proton waja !. I don't know the new name for this proton new model. Some said proton will launch this new proton car on 15 August this month.

I think because of the proton car quality , proton have loosed a lot of it's market share to competitors. I hope that proton will gain back it market share by launching it's new proton car models

Choose the right car battery

My proton waja give me some problem for me today. I cannot start the my car today. May be because of weak car battery. With the help of my freinds, I have to jump started my car. After doing it my car can be started. But because it is multi point injection system, I found it's have some problem about it's tunning.

I have to keep the engine running to be able the car running properly. I think may be this is due to it's battery. But I need to check with my mechanic.

Change Tyre and Absorber

I also own a proton wira which I bought 11 years ago. Proton wira 1.5 is my first car. I have drove this car around Malaysia. On 22 May 07, I change all the absorber , yes all four of them . It cost me about RM550.00.

While on 29 May 07, I change 2 front tires. It cost me RM230. 00. For both tires. I used dunlop tires. After made this changes, my car runs smoothly. Since ten years I have used many brand tires, but for the past dunlop tires is better and can last longer. Other type of tires, have some problem such bloated, which make your driving not smoothly.

Change Engine Oil

Today I'm sending my proton waja for service to change the engine oil. I been advised by my mechanic at my uptown to change the engine oil for every 5,000 kilometers. So for me the mechanics is expert, I have to follow his advise.

Engine oil is very important to our car and we need to change the engine oil according to the millage. If not you car engine may stuck and that will cause a lot of dollars. Changing engine oil not cost you much. It's depends on what type of engine oil you use, there are mineral engine oil, semi synthetic or fully synthetic. The later one is more expensive.

One's your service your car, make sure ask the mechanic to check also the battery water, air filter and any other thing that you feel that disturbing your peaceful driving. This may be your brake system and your brake light and car signal.

It is important to check these thing, if not it can cause you deep problem while driving.

Porsche and Ferrari My Dream Cars

Porsche and Ferrari is my dream cars. Sometime I think what the advantage or disadvantage having this two cars ?. I found that Porsche and Ferrari are German and Italian sides of the same coin, interpretations of the sports car idea. Both founded by a dominant patriarch, both honed in racing, both more than 50 years old, both with engineering and styling integrity. Whether on the track of Le Mains or on the streets, the two have always been put head-to-head and compared. Even the most naive motorist associates these two names with both performance and style.

I decided to compare the methodical Porsche 911 Carrera 4S and the passionate Ferrari F430 because both of them astonish with their performance while attempting to maintain a reasonable amount of practicality but do not pretend to be anything other than sports cars.

I think as a lady driver, a modern sports car should feature these characteristics: it should be started easily,maneuvered around town, blasted on a couple of country roads, it looks and performs the part on a racetrack but at the same time it is very safe.

The easier way to separate the two cars is by measuring figures since both of them have mastered the modern sports car requirements and basically there’s no other way to choose between these two phenomenal cars.

What initially impresses is Ferrari's lightning fast 4-second 0-100km/h acceleration and thrilling exhaust tone. As the occupants are pinned to the seats, the new generation 4.3-litre V8 pushes out 368 snarling kilowatts. Porsche’s acceleration also offers that kick in the pants a super car should deliver, although it is 0.8 seconds slower at the 100 km/kmark.

With such acceleration performance, it comes natural for both cars to excel in the braking department. The two cars offer optional ceramic discs for impressive stopping.

Porsche’s engine gets the upper hand as it is more refined and on the economy rank leaps ahead Ferrari with a 11.8 liters per 100 km as opposed to 18.3 liters. Both cars deliver the power through impressive 6-speed gearboxes and offer top rate handling performance.

Both F430 and Carrera4S offer great interior comfort and even if the space is limited, the occupants don't feel claustrophobic and flustered. Although an impressive mix of suede, carbon fiber and aluminum abound in the Ferrari, the Italians stand no chance when it comes to the high finish level attained by the Germans.

Speed and silence are key elements for any super car. The look and appearance is the biggest draw card. The Carrera 4S is a typical Porsche, despite the new proportions. It is a great looking car, like any other 911 but somehow the styling no longer creates the jaw dropping reaction that the Ferrari does. Indeed, traditionalists may say that Porsche pays homage to its roots, but the truth is that Ferrari F430 simply draws the attention.

However, even if Ferrari F430 takes your breath away with its appearance, the super car title goes to the Porsche Carrera 4S with a more complete all round package.

I hope someday both Porsche and Ferrari cars will be mine. Oh Porsche Oh Ferrari, come Porsche come Ferrari, come to my reality world. Were are you Porsche and Ferrari.
