2019 Proton Persona (Pt.2) Test Drive: Genting Hillclimb - The CVT versus the Mountain
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 08. 2024
- Although the Persona has some new features that make it a better value for money package, we still need to check it out in terms of ride and handling.
With the new CVT tuning which effectively lowers the overall gearing, the rubber band effect has reduced, but at the cost of better fuel consumption. What about the power to climb mountains then?
Watch the video and tell us what you think.

I just bought a personal std cvt for my wife. She like it so much.
In terms of the price 46k, i can't complaint too much.
No bad lah 😉
I swear if someone told me "You drive like an Uncle", I am extremely proud.
Hahaha!
Nice driving Uncle! Would you mind doing a video explaining the pull-push technique vs hand over hand steering and how specifically you steer for the best control? Eager to learn haha
Ok, good idea.
Maybe U should also put a camera to the meters so that we can see the rpm reacts to the inclined road like Genting... Tq..

i agree . wanted to know the rpm and speed of Proton CVT .
Hello Uncle! always love watching your review! Can we expect a video on the new Persona 2022 soon? 😊
Soon I hope.
So cute
I was looking for a car within my budget and wanted to buy the Myvi until I sat in the Persona. Wow! I can feel that the Persona is a better car in terms of quality and features. I booked my Persona last Wednesday. Thank you for the review!
You are welcome.
u bought the premium one? any promo? Thanks :)

Wise chose... Once you sit down and test drive the new persona and Saga... It's no Brainer to go with any Perodua...
Myvi only good for city drive.
Uncle was driving it like a cont. sports car. Well done!!! :)
On a test drive, I noticed the rear is abit too soft for a spirited driving... But gives a smoother drive.... For that price really cant complain much.. But it is worth it to upgrade the tyres....
nabill arif the tyres should be thrown away immediately if any owner gets the car. It is simply one of the worst junk tyres, lowest of the lowest. Harsh compound, absolutely rubbish grip on wet, and super loud noise on virtually any surface. Why Proton choose to fit this lousy tyres on their cars and let it to be shown in front of so many car reviewers’ camera is really beyond me, it do more harm than good to Proton’s image.
Ps : on an interesting note, the new Myvi is even louder than the Persona / Iriz under full acceleration.
The option to change to new tyres or different tyres has always been there, and there are some who do exactly that. As said before, cost is a big factor for cars in this price range, so the car makers try to strike a balance between cost and performance. The naied truth is that most people don't really know or care about performance of the tyres. And usually car makers look at the tyres amdeasure noise level at speeds below 100 kph, and also benchmark cabin noise against other cars in the same class, then decide where in the pie chart they want to be or are at. Cost per unit plays a huge part. A RM100 variance per unit can be worth quite a bit if you make 200,000 a year.
Proton persona bagi saya trbaik dari segi handling dn brek..untk enjin dn cvt wow good improvement from proton..dgn harga yg murah amat bebaloi...
Best car for grab driver...
Great review, loved seeing the Genting Road again. Loved going up there
Hi uncle. U should have a fan club 🤣
My favorite 105. 7 lite fm
I bought Persona MT standard less a week ago.I love MT since started driving 30 years ago, still kicking & I would like to be in control.haha..This time around I observed that the Proton Persona MT used a Well known Germany Technology (Getrac) whereby the clutch pedal is much softer very convenient for gear shifting..As old saying " real man use 3 pedals" Is that correct sir?" haha
If i am single MT would be my first choice too but now i have family and the wife is not well versed in driving MT so i go with premium version. Man the thrill of driving manual. Hahaha.
I already buying the Persona Premium and very satisfied. Thanks for the guides! can't wait to go to Genting.😀
Does it go at the speed of 120kmph comfortably? Or does it struggle? Plz inform
@@ahmedhajwani8980 yes... its very comfortable and with the TCS you feel very confident when driving it. No noisy sound or any rough vibration when you go through bumpy area too... im satisfied with the improvement they did to this model..

proton : for god sake, can u please stop it..
HAHAHA
love your video uncle... great review and content.. thumb up!!!!!
Hello Ivan. I've been following your reviews and I think u do great reviews of cars. I'm also a car enthusiast having owned a number of performance cars including the RS265 which was a blast to drive everytime on challenging roads like Genting with its sublime handling.
While i like to see your reviews of performance oriented cars on your Genting runs, i think for other more normal non performance oriented cars, it would be better to review these cars on roads usually these cars are used for. Most people buy a Persona or any non performance oriented cars not for enjoying a run on the twisties. So it would be good if u have a variety of road reviews other than just Genting runs.
Don't get me wrong. I like Genting, Ulu Yam etc runs but only with performance cars.
Anyway, keep up the good reviews.
Hi Tubblebee, thanks for watching our channel, and thanks for your great comments. I agree with you on using other roads, but there are very few places where it is safe. We will try to find other roads.
Finally, a small correction.... Ivan Khong is my son. I am the father of Ivan and Ian Khong. No worries, just setting the record straight, hahaha.
Which car is more fun to drive the new Myvi 1.5 or the new Persona 1.6 premium? Driver point of view, the price for both is almost the same.
Im also waiting for Uncle to give his feedback? While waiting for him to answer, as far as I know, in terms og handling especially on the highway, Proton takes the lead, but in terms of extra gadget, fuel comsumption and interior (personal taste), Myvi wins. But I dont know how both fair in terms of their performance, since Uncle said Myvi passed his performance test tremendously
Hope to see uncle review proton Iriz.
Coming!
Thank you for the test drive boss
Helo uncle just need your opinion, premium all new saga facelift or standard persona? im so confused for my first-new car
Buy the most expensive car you can afford. The Saga is 1.3 litre so is a little under powered'. You are better off with the Persona. It is also slightly bigger.
thanks for the opinion, what a great suggestion
@@YSKhongDriving but you know persona is undersquare 1.6 while saga is square 1.3 engine right? (bore x stroke) Although different cc and hp, square engine perform a lot better.. Unless you want to modify by rebore and replacing big pistons with bolt on turbo, better get undersquare one.. But nowadays, 1.3 also can replace bigger stroker kit..
Whilst you are right about over square and undersquare, there is no substitute for CC. The 1.3 has to work harder. Buying a smaller engine and putting a stroker kit does not make that much sense, and also it voids warranty. Besides, the Persona has so many things that are better in quality than the Saga - which explains the price differences.
I think the road noise will be reduced if change to a better tyre. The original Silverstone tyre is just horrible.
Could be.
Yes, just change tyre..would be ok d
i bought persona 2 years ago with silverstone tyre.. after 40k km... tyre make a weird noise.. had to change it last week
@@lindan818 Mine is 2 years old as well. Still using the Silverstone. The noise and the grip always keep me awake. Sure wont fall asleep. Too loud and dangerous. 😂
@@andylfy not a common road noise from the tyre itself... more like rosak already... if i speed up around 110km/h.. start to vibrate like abnormal🤣... already confirm with 3 proton sc... and it is a spoil tyre.. lol
I can feel uncle started to feel depressed with that voice assistant when botch after botch to the command happened. 😂
That assistant indeed needs some work. Can't even continue simple conversation. But still, kudos and congrats to Proton for trying.
Engine roaring sounded like Mesin potong rumput (lawn mower) hahahaha
tu sebab microphone terlalu sensitif
Tu belum naik preve lg mcm lori
Hahah!
That's actually a beautiful exhaust note.
The CVT sounds terrible. Glad I didn't buy it. Saga 1.3 4AT is more quiet
i hope somebody will test drive the manual version.
I hope so too.
Congratulations 100k subscribes

More power for cvt gb?
Is that 1.6 cc not good enough power for cvt or 2.0 cc are the right one for cvt?
It seem fishy to me coz im using 1.3 cvt? It should be underpowered compare to persona or other products in terms of cvt gb
The power comes from the engine. One more element is the gear ratios, especially the final drive ratio: car makers compensate for lack of power by lowering the ratios.
@@YSKhongDriving i see...that why engine still sound loudly regarding the lack of ratios even im already reflash ecu to get the better performance but its myths...hahahah..btw tq info and hopefully u always keep sharing the benefit info to make us a best choices.
New car is usually ok and no major issues. Power, handling, acceleration, interior etc.. in new car should be ok cause fresh from factory.. The big question is, would it sustain and still be practical in 2 or 3 years ahead. That is highly needed to be taken into consideration and suggest for a review in the future uncle..
With the new partners the products will certainly get better.
thanks for sharing boss..i like all your video...can you make for preve...
What tyres are Proton Persona 2019 using? The noice, harshness & vibration are noticeable while u are driving. Maybe a Continental CC6 tyres might reduce the NHV. What set of tyres do u recomment?
Bravo Bravo is the rubbish Silverstone synergy tyres. Super harsh compound, loud road noise on all surfaces, and absolutely rubbish grip on a wet day. A set of PS 3 would significantly transform the NVH, grip and handling. Simply the best tyre to be fitted to the stock factory rim at a budget.
Didn't notice the brand. Usually for these types, car makers go for long distance type tyres on account of buyers being cost conscious, rather than performance. When asked what tyres one should use, I always tell people to buy the most expensive one that they can afford, because generally, the tyre performance is directly proportional to the cost.
It's Silverstone. It has special ability to turn into drift spec tyre in the rain. So for those who aspire to be "king of the rain".....
Checked, and it is Silverstone.
YS Khong Driving i got chance to test the new persona in the shah alam main branch,well they change the tyre to goodyear assurance there for test drive unit..
Berbaloi ke uncle klau tahun 2019 ni nk beli persona model 2016 fullspect second hand?
Depends, jika harga ok, bolih jugak!
Berbaloi.. persona baru teknologi je baru... Dr segi perfomance persona lama lagi best.
Saya pun ada plan ni 😄
Uncle talk about body roll, may i get your point of view for all those rear stabilize bar and front struts tower(stage 1) been strongly recommended by some chassis tuning company?
Stabilisers do reduce body roll: however some body roll is always necessary for handling reasons. The point is whether any part actually improve handling. Comprehensive testing is required by qualified drivers and the amount of control can be quantified: many people go by the size, but material also matters. So it depends on who is making them and what claims they are making. Reputation counts. I have seen some that work and some that work so so only.
@@YSKhongDriving thanks for your point of view. Besides that, what about autofoam(KL Auto) that injected directly in the car chassis? And which one would u prefer to get it done to improve car handling?
How many car do you want to drive to Genting?
YS KHONG: YES
i saw on video u drive bezza before. may i know which one is better between persona and bezza?
utk penjimatan minyak n city drive, bezza
kalau untuk comfort driving n long distance, go for persona
btw bezza 1.3, persona 1.6
@@muhammadariffin5121 noted. thankss
Uncle is flooring the car during uphill climb is better or should I stay within 2-3rpm... Will it ruin the engine and gearbox if I floor it for 5minute steep hill climb with 4rpm?
The gearbox will take it, don't worry. Floor it to make the most power, and don't worry. In S mode it will still shift up, so you won't overstress the engine
@@YSKhongDriving thanks for the reply.. I will now go up with 80kmj😂
Me wondering what Hi Proton can do
Hi Proton: Launch the airbag
Hi uncle! Can you drive a manual car? Last time I saw you drive a manual car was Honda Civic Type R. Now, I challenge you to drive a daily manual car such as Perodua Axia E.
Hahaha, to challenge me, you have to drive one first. The Axia manual should be fun.
@@YSKhongDriving But uncle, I don't have a driving license because I am teen.
Hi uncle, hope you will review the iriz too.
Akan datang.
I like ur video of new saga, maybe because of the trafic?, i think the saga form better?, thanks for the review. Between saga, persona or old 2014/2015 vios, because of the price almost the same, which do u suggest,
For all purpose usage, city n sometime balik kampung, and between manual vios or at which do u suggest, thanks in advance
If you drive in the city often, go for auto - you will appreciate that. If you live in the outskirts, a manual would be much more fun. The difference between new and used is the warranty, and also the new car smell.
Pick the one that appeals to you the most.
Thanks!!!! Very much appreciated!
So loud and slow la this CVT Persona. Your Saga 1.3 4AT Genting hillclimb looks much faster than this😂. I will never buy CVT.
Hi Uncle Khong, do you review Bezza before? I can't find it. Tq Uncle Khong
I have tried to get a car, but have failed twice. Anybody got one to let me drive?
Uncle, please drive Axia E to climb Genting Highlands
All the Axia have the same engine sorcs - we already have driven the Axia up Genting.
Uncle. need your opinion. Is it worth enough if i trade my 2012 saga flx se 1.6cvt for persona 2019?
Well, it's 8 years old.
Ys Khong : Hi Proton, Hi proton , Hi Proton..
Proton : Haiya apa lagi u mau
Uncle pls do review perdana v6 2008 model to drive hill climp genting...
My goodness the CVT roar is insanely loud
Sound proof need to improve. The noise level is very loud.
Wait until you hear perodua CVT... Even worse
hi, do you think that the iriz has lesser body roll than the persona?
Yup
based on ur opinion, which one better uncle persona 2020 or myvi 1.5 gen 3?
seriously!!! the CVT sounds horrible!!! and people still claim this is a good car!!! rear seats kinda cramped... fuel comp is terrible... Just because the price is cheap... if ever the Honda City price are closer... and I m happy with my 2015 City V-spec... CVT so much better and smoother
I saw u drive this Persona and another Myvi, Honda Civic, BMW 3 series. I listen with my home theater and found that, by comparison this Persona is very noisy.
Sometimes it is the recorder.
Should we look at the HU to give command 😁 the HU feature are the same as our smartphone, the fuel consumption should be lower after the second or third oil change service
Actually the pickup is on the roof lining, not the head unit.
The microphone is near the rear view mirror
@@YSKhongDriving how about fuel consumption ?
Hi proton it remind me of the knight rider in 80 .
Yes Kitt! All you need are those sequential lights at the front, hahaha.
Uncle I would really love you could share to us some safe tips on the road.
Keep watching our videos. The tips are in the videos.
I plant to change my honda city 2009 to new persona... It is ok or not??? Please help me??
You should go and have a test drive, and if you like it, do go ahead.
Mr. Khong.. Do you think this new face-lift is a vast improvement from the pre face-lift right in term of throttle response and NVH? Yeah.. With this price range.. Of course you cannot expect things like in camry.. But at least for many average Joe outside there, it something that you not regret to buy..
I understand they have done some tuning to the CVT, but the difference is not that much. Things run a little smoother, that's all.
I don't think uncle enjoys driving this car though. Usually uncle will take a sip of water at the roundabout turning back down hill if the drive was fun.. Haha..
Hahaha, if the car is very fast, then it dries my throat. The Persona is nice but not so fast.
Hi Uncle YS , do u thk saga nvh is better den persona ? From the comparison of ur video between saga and persona review. It seems that saga has better nvh.
I really doubt it. Sometimes it is the road, or the placement of the microphone. I would think the Persona would be same or slightly better. Best of you test drive both yourself. Anyway thanks for visiting our channel. Please stay and watch our other videos
Mr YS,
Im thinking whether to take Persona normal spec or Vios highest spec.
Appreciate it you could advise on the performance of both cars. thks lot
Both the cars are around the same power, and both handle well. Just go for whichever one that you like more.
YS Khong Driving what about the stability and fuel consumption as well?
Yeah super review best
Proton bagus Dan murah
Which one is better Uncle? This persona or 3rd gen myvi in terms of overall driverbilitiy?
Hard to tell because both are fun to drive.
@@YSKhongDriving Hm seems harder to choose now😅 thank u for replying Uncle
Hi,you feel this car driving feeling solid or not？
Yes, it drives quite okay on normal roads. Dont really know what your definition of "solid" is but I drove a C43 up after the Persona, and with a 3.0 litre twin turbo engine and 367 horses, that's "SOLID". That means it pulls relentlessly on throttle without hesitation.
There is no such thing as and car, only such things like whether you like it or not, and the size of your pocket. Many people wouldn't want to look at a ' cheap' car, but then many others have to buy one or a Perodua. Strangely cars are all about Ego.
Sir, pls do a review about the camry as shown in the video.TQ
The video is already there sir.
aku dah book persona, tapi kelmarin ade member kerja kat proton service centre, brtau jagn ambik persona, elok ambik saga je. Apakah CVT campro ni masih bermasalah, tak diubah baik? What do you think uncle?
The CVT has been around for quite a while and other than being a bit noisy there are no other known issues. Some people are ok with it, some are not. Maybe yr friend likes the new auto 4 speed in the Saga and so is advising you to take the Saga. Note that the Persona is a bigger car than the Saga.
Maybe he saw my Saga video, hahaha.
@@YSKhongDriving thank you for the info. The persona just arrive at the shop, but my loan is still in process. Hope everything going well. I saw your videos, you drive well. I dont thing i can drive like that, my max speed is normally 120, most of the time i prefer 80.
No worries Adam, just enjoy your new car, drive carefully and stay safe. Thanks for watching.
That's mean you 😊 to test drive then choose which one you 😊 feel comfortable with
@@amirl3703 that is true if i am a media man like uncle with opportunity to test up Genting. I dont have that kind of time , and proton only allow me to test drive around the shop, about 5-10 minutes. Can this be enough to choose? Actually im more concern whether the car that i am going to purchase can last at least 5 years without giving headache. How many % of the CVT FL engine from proton (under regular services) will be free of problems or breakdown, 100%? 10%? I also heard that the warranty given by proton for the engine CVT is not 100%, some part yes and some other parts we have to pay.
Hi uncle..Is this car good for genting road... because I work at genting so I need to find a car that can handle the climb
If you work in Genting, get a turbocharged car. That would be better because of the climb. Failing that, you should get at least a 2.0 NA engine. Then your.life would be better.
@@YSKhongDriving hahahaha but my budget 60k ...

Depends on your brand preferences, and your priorities.

The Persona would be slightly bigger so it depends on what you like. Both are good cars.

Because, just because.
Coz thats the test bed
Saga flx 1.6 vs persona vvt 1.6 cvt which faster
The vvt version is slightly faster, but not by much.
The CVT sound very noisy
What about top speed
Not tested, but around 180 max.
Hi Uncle, Saga FLX CVT 1.3 can do about 2500 to 2700RPM at 110kmh, new Persona and Iriz doing 3000RPM at 105kmh is like not economical right? What do you think?
There has been some tuning done on the CVT for the Persona and Iriz to improve drivability, and I think some ratios were changed to reduce the rubber band effect.
@@YSKhongDriving Thank you Uncle
Hi uncle Khong, would you be able to review Honda City Hybrid?
We have done the HR-V hybrid and that would be similar. Let me check.
@@YSKhongDriving thanks Uncle Khong.
I can feel the CVT rubber band by hearing it hahahhHHh
Hi MR Khong, how would you rate persona handling compare with almera?
Persona has always been a car known for its great handling, while Almera is made for cabin space, fuel economy and comfort. So it depends on what you are looking for. If you want performance and handling go for the Persona. If you want space, eco and comfort, take the Almera.
Almera makes you feel it is larger by making the bench smaller, ride and handling has no match for sure...

Hi Senior Khong,
1.compare myvi 1.5Auto adv n vs Persona Premium 1. 6Auto..which ride and handling you fell is better?
2. Persona is noisy.. If changing the persona wheel from 15inch silverstone to 17 inch Premier brand with better tyre spec.. Will it be helpful to reduce the noice problem?
Thx Senior to clear my doubts.. Thank you..
The Persona is one category higher than the Myvi. Changing tyres won't cut down the noise because it's not from the tyres.
Thank you senior for your reply and advised...
Uncle, what's your thoughts on HONDA's CVT tansmission?
My general take on CVT - car must have power for the CVT to work. Cars with low power can never handle CVT properly because the engine will be struggling. CVT works with higher torque engines better. CVT technology is getting better and better. The newer CVTs are better.
@@YSKhongDriving how about the Honda br v 2020 uncle. Plan to have one. Thanks for the reply 😀😀😀
I have one. Maybe it's time to do a video - what has 2 years of ownership been like.
@@YSKhongDriving that's great. Can't wait to see your video. Thanks!
I've driven honda civic tcp. The cvt feels almost like a torque converter automatic. It accelerated instantly when you tap on the accelerator without noticeable delay
So what d verdict for this CVT? Hope u can do a review for manual version too
I never liked CVTs. As a car reviewer, I learn to live with them, and I know they are cheaper to make and do promote fuel economy. There are CVTs and there are CVTs.
As a persona vvt stick driver, i can say proton's getrag gearbox don't disappoint.
Yann Hwa Tan same here . I own an Iriz with MT, and an auto Persona with CVT, the manual stick is miles better and more refined than the CVT. No matter how much the CVT has been refined, the manual still is the better drive, especially high speed cruising, I don’t have to deal with the constant droning sound from the CVT.
Absolutely. I wonder why proton tuned its TCU to hang at 3k rpm for a 110kmph cruise, unlike its competitors mostly around 2.5k rpm.
Does it make for better brake fuel consumption and efficiency for its campro vvt engine? Or is it to ensure having straight out direct torque input when required? I actually feel that amongst the competitors, persona has better power response when I am required to overtake at legal highway speed.
I think it was to address the rubber band effect - it was a reaction to the feedback when they decided to go CVT many moons ago.
Why all the car that you drive, seems to look more faster uncle ?
Hahaha.
The cvt noise in this review is so obvious until I go and search another review on Toyota Yaris which test drove by uncle... which is significantly lower...
Yes, I think the Yaris CVT is not as loud. However the overall noise could be due just to the sound-proofing differences in the two cars.
From my experience, toyota's and Nissan's cvt is quieter compared to Honda's and proton's.
@@MuhdIqbal Jetco once praise now they are cursed, search the cvt forum
Is it OK to use the CVT's low gear for accelerating from standstill/in traffic jam?
Yes, but it makes no difference. They would be the same gears as normal. The gear position just retains the lower gears. Not sure how many but I would guess up to about halfway. This position is meant for going uphill or downhill, so that the gear does not shift to the high gears, same function as in automatic transmissions.
@@YSKhongDriving Uncle, I got one off-topic question. What do you think about carmakers' decision to use gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines in their products, despite the increasing number of complaints from owners about carbon buildups on the intake valve and flawed engine design issues like the one happened to the current Civic's 1.5 Turbo GDI engine?
@@izzatfauzimustafa6535 - Generally GDi is the way to go, and some engines are running dual injection systems.
@@YSKhongDriving If Proton wants to avoid the headaches faced by Honda, Hyundai, Ford and many other carmakers with GDI engines, dual injection should be the system in their future engines (or more like Geely's engines). I can only hope X70's T-GDI engine is doing good in years to come.
It all boils down to cost. Because people are prepared to pay more for some brands, it encourages those makers to spend more on better technology. Anyway, people seem to accept the enw X70 is better quality, so they are prepared to pay more, but we also note the buyer profile for theX70 is quite different from the traditional Proton buyer.
