Proton Persona 1.5LItem: Proton Persona 1.5L
I bought a Proton Persona car from EON. This car is made in Malaysia by EON. The Persona is quite a big car although slightly smaller than its predecessor the Proton Perdana with a 2.0L V6 engine. My Persona only has 1.5L engine . What attracted me to this beauty was the beautiful and pleasing design of the overall shape.

The radio cum cd player can be controlled from the steering wheel such as changing channels, adjusting volume controls and the like. It means I do not have to take my eyes from the road driving while changing channels. It’s a very good safety concept. Driving my car for the first time was a sheer joy. That air-condition was so “cold”. Although I only set it at No.2 I was shivering. The maximum was No. 10! Since Malaysian weather was so hot normally, I relish the thought that I no longer have to sweat in the blazing equqtorial sun. My first drive was very smooth indeed. Going through “bumps” was not a problem and I hardly felt it. My other cars that I have usually gave me a “jolt” but not this one. Maybe the tyres were new or maybe the suspension is excellent, I am not very sure. But it was a comfortable ride. Turning round corners was as easy as a breeze. It did not tilt and no squeaking of the tyres. I tried it out on the major highways. Soon I was cruising happily on the highway at speeds of 120 km an hour and I didn’t even know it! I tried increasing it to 160 km an hour and I can feel a slight turbulance. Its time to back down again and maintained at cruising speeds of 110 km an hour. Consumption on petrol was not that impressive; only managed 20 km per litre of petrol. Overall this is an excellent car and pricing at $13000 only, it is cheap. Now I have a new car without burning a hole in my wallet. Who say cheap can’t be beautiful as well. ![]()
