- Hey guys, it is here at last - we actually did this video sometime back, but lost the footage in the archives - here it is, so please enjoy.
The new 2022 Persona seems to enjoy the mountain a little bit better, perhaps it is due to the revised CVT, which gives it more drivability.
This time, we took it all the way to the top.
Don't forget, we also sell Proton om our channel, so if you need to book one, do go to

Hi uncle, I'm so happy to see your video on the Persona. I bought myself one because of the affordability and the handling. As a driving enthusiast, your smile throughout this video made my day. You just validated the fun of driving this car!
The fact that uncle is smiling all the time while driving, proves that this car is really fun to drive!! Thank you for this fun video uncle!
The Myvi he drove last time also he smiling all the way up😂😅
ini uncle, you kasi kancil pon die akan manyak senyum, he he
@@NabilFeqal , have to look properly,if the lips more to the right that’s sarcastic smile, to the left YS are enjoying it 😂
Proton never disappointing when it comes to car handling. Good video uncle Khong!
I am using 2018 model. One of the best when it comes to handling wise since I always travel from Johor to Pahang. For the low price the handling is quite good.
No doubt it's best handling car in this segment. I remembered invite uncle drive mine in 2021 😅. ... Good to see he drove one now...good to watch. Keep it up uncle Khong
Among the best Malaysia-related motoring channels at TH-cam. I love it when ordinary vehicles are also tested and reviewed, and not just the exotic and luxurious ones. And by a multi-championship driver too whose experience and credibility are unquestioned. Good job!

The only channel i will refer if look for a new car. 😆Absolutely glad to see Uncle handles cars of diff level , he makes all cars look good👍👍
Thank you sir for testing this car.....as you said...proton's handling is superb and i admit that when I am driving my persona...
Decent speed from the B segment of the car. Noticed it's able to handle the corners well.
The steering logo so perfectly centred. It doesn't wobble out of focus when spinning around. Smooth to my ocd eye.
Hahaha,
Saya pun baru perasan. Betul² centre.
I can't stop looking at it now....
Good handling...always feel confident to drive in every situation
I got mine recently. Didn't think twice anymore. Best ride of my life so far
How's your experience using it so far?
@@haziqahp6484 good all around drive from island to mainland Penang. Full tank lasts around 7 days for my commute. Fuel economy will be bad when there's traffic jam. Overall, a fun drive. Need to be wary of the Cvt. Has its own attitude. Comfortable to sit in for aure
Love the way this Persona was going through corners! 🤗
Every corner and turn he relive his skills.
No nonsense review.i enjoy it very much taking an apex .even modest car can take corner like a hero when I r driving it.kudos uncle .take care be safe and be healthy
well i love this car it's also one of the best handling vehicles ever period
Uncle YS gave it the punch of approval
I was holding off from submitting my loan for this car, watched all the reviews on the internet, even prowled through forums. 5 minutes after I finished your video, I whatsapped my SA. You say it's a good car, I trust you above any reviewers anywhere. Persona Premium Ruby Red incoming. Thank you uncle.
No worries.
Premium stock lambat kan.. Tapi rugi xamik premium sebab ianya Betul2 premium 🤩
saya dah booking dekat 2 bulan lebih. masih lagi belum sampai (persona exec 2022)
update : saya dapat sudah kereta pada 31 Mei 2022. (total masa menunggu sejak booking : lebih kurang 3 bulan)
@@YSKhongDriving , Proton kena kasi YS commission 😅
@@quedin9990 kerap tanye bang kat SA .saya sebulan je dah utk exec.premium yang makan masa .
Wah uncle! Tq2! Finally got video on MC2 persona! Awesome video uncle
Kipidap. Review like this make Malaysia brand mature,hopefully 🙏 love when hand on steering, face with smile!
Thank you uncle for doing this, I really need this kind of driving video impression on this particular model from a particular person (you). haha
This car is a great performer around the twisties!
Thank you Uncle Khong, Happy New Year!~~ im happy to know my choice last week is right~😊
Happy new year!
Alhamdulillah, ambik Proton Persona Executive bulan ini. Nak tunggu Persona Premium lambat sangat dapatnya. Loan bank pun sudah lulus. ❤🎉🎉🎉
Layan corner memang padu uncle ni...
Nice, really enjoy it😍👍
Awesome video! Amazing test drive, uncle Khong can you test drive Merc A250 Sedan.. would love to see how it performs on the hills with your superb driving experience 💪🏼
Terbaik uncle 👍 Semoga sihat selalu.
Been driving the 2019 Proton Persona since new and I got to say proton has improved a lot. Switched to persona for my daily needs because I used to own 1 car with a 3.0 turbo and the fuel consumption was too high for the type of work I've been recently doing. If Proton was able to harness an additional 10hp from the engine then it would be a perfect daily driver, the pickup could be better (general cvt characteristics) but the response from 1500 to 4000 rpm is smooth and effortless for normal use. Car and Engine remains quiet up to 95kmh but can definitely hear the engine at at 100 above onto illegal speeds. I think Proton has done a great job with this car for this price range. Active safety could be better but It has a good balance between great handling and comfort level for a B segment car. That being said I will never give up my weekend car tho cuz I feel there is something missing in my life without it 😂. Overall Proton did a great job, just hoping its reliability and longevity will be great for years to come.
Ya, if the engine can have an additional 10hp, that's would be perfect. Btw, my Persona mc2 came alive whenever I speed over 3k rpm.
We alrdy have a 1.3l myvi, so we plan to buy a 1.6l persona, i had tested this car, for me the driving feeling more comfortable compare to my myvi. And we also need a bigger car boot thats why we choose persona. And I'm actually waiting for uncle review for this car before I order this car😁 .
Thank you very much, uncle 😊
Great. And you can order it through us.
Power la uncle ni... handling steady je...
I’m waiting this! TQVM.
Wow.... Never would I thought this new Persona can handle the twist and turns up Genting highland with Uncle YS behind the steering wheel. Yes Person is not taht powerful but it's handling and engine capability needs the respect it deserved. 😮👍👍👍👍
thumbs up uncle.persona is definitely a better drive than the new myvi
watching uncle sapu corner is the best. such skill, such elegance. chef kisses.
Power uncle ni... Nice driving 👍👍👍👍👍
Dia punya korner menjerit bunyi tayar, terbaik lah uncle. Berbaloi btul klau beli persona baru ni..
I drove before the older one in Sabah it’s quite a nice to drive car except the noisy cvt, by the way it equipped with a bit of engine braking when descending, extremely useful for long mountain descending drive in Sabah cross town trips
Yes i rent persona also on the sabah mountains. Smooth experience
Ohh that was an engine breaking? I donno that. I oso drove the brand new Persona 2022 here in Sabah. Happily drive on Tambunan-Ranau-Keningau way if you know it.
@@halfease96 it felt like manual gear when u descend mountain road with gear 2 or gear 3, layman term: gear dragging down hill. i was using D all the way for KK-Ranau and kimanis- Keningau, really surprised with that feature for a cvt gearbox, less dependent on brakes and safer for mountain road descending
@@kee2718mcm mana fuel consumption ok ka?
I have been waiting to see uncle test drive this new persona premium the day finally come 😍I have already booking this car for premium version have to wait for arrival I have been waited for almost 4 month hope I can get it as soon as possible
Any news bro?
@@tcam6282 bro sudah beli ke? i sudah test drive before puasa memang syok pandu tapi signal proton terbalik lah sudah biasa bawa kereta signal kanan haha...
Love this video!!!!
hmmm..... quite nice ya the sound proofing
Uncle is such a wholesome guy, seeing him smile makes my heart happy :)
Glad I could make your day better.
A nice video on manoeuvering a persona uphill. Uncle Khong, did you use 'D' gear all the way up or you also needed to shift to 'S' at some very steep slopes? All the best to you, take care!
It was S most of the way.
what d meaning of s..sport? speed or for climb hill
@@abbyjepirin4304 sport. i can really feel the difference between driving in D and S. Driving the 2022 iriz
Hi uncle.. Lets try drive at banjaran croker,sabah..jalan kimanis-keningau..
Naik bukit pun 100 ... Powerful!
Good handling and less noisy compared to king myvi for sure. If only Proton's reliability is not an issue.
Once the Punch CVT is out of the way, the engine itself isn't really prone to any major reliability issues if looked after well.
Hence why I got myself a manual Iriz.
yep with the super noisy myvi cvt uphill video the persona feels like a library in comparison
@@truthurts704 library? Best joke I have ever heard.
Uncle Khong didnt say Myvi has bad handling, infact he enJoy driving it up to Genting Hill and ended up with saying… he loves the Myvi… only those not an pro driver will complaint… I find the Persona handling is Just slightly better than others… not till great
@@truthurts704 persona cvt is noisier due to higher rpm at 100
Uncle Persona or Myvi you prefer for Genting ride ?
Dear Uncle YS Khong, probably you can review and test drive my friend's Toyota Altezza too 🔥
i hope uncle can test honda city gd8 at genting uphill because people said it was a sleeper car
Look like the persona 2022 more refined compare to mine, 2020 model, engine sound is nicer, more powerful I guess because uncle looked relax and easy drive this car up to the top.
Wehhh kecut perut tengok uncle drive 😭😭😭😭
lihai lah uncle drive kereta
Driving this Persona, the handling and response is way better than my 2018 Civic 1.8.
Cannot be.
Proton is the best car and good performancw car
As a suggestion, maybe can ad-on some cameras infront or behind of any car testing once we can have more exciting view angle to the road surface👍 Thx!
Noted!
I must congratulate proton.. 17:03 it handles very very well 17:13.. says Mr YS Khong Driving
top 3 best handling malaysia car is this persona👍👍👍
Great driving as always but can’t really lie the fact that its a hideous car. I love how professional you handled cars at corners especially when you drove the Perodua Bezza. I know how challenging it is to drive first gen Perodua Bezza
Looks are subjective.
Finally!=)
Uncle YS the CVT drone sounds a lot softer in comparison to the Myvi's D-CVT, is it also true in real life or is that merely not reflected accurately through the recording?
Btw great video, love it and take care
I tested both.. For me DCVT myvi is better and more fine tuned..response is immediate.. But then due to poor insulation of myvi, yeah you are right.. Myvi CVT is more noisy.. More is understatement.. I would say very very noisy compared to iriz or persona
Sometimes it is where the microphone is placed, and sometimes it is the tuning of the cvt.
@@msas952 thanks for the reply appreciate it
need 360 camera laa uncle..sure padu
the Goodyear Triple Max 2 do a really good job .. haha
Nice driving indeed 😊
Terbaek Uncle
yes Proton Persona is fun to drive. you must try to drive and feel the fun. kata orang.
compare to x50 fs the feel got what different?(i know variant not same)
X50 has bigger and wider tyres, has more power, definitely better. If you can afford the X50, go for it.
does this car need racing bars (stage 1 maybe) since the handling already very very well as you mentioned.....
No need.
Driving manual trans uphill genting, 5 person on car, with aircond on, its good.....corner with confident
Uncle Khong always smile in whatever cars he drives… even in the Myvi G3 that most stated as handling sampan, for Uncle… its a fun car to drive and he likes it… actually… a cars handling is all depends on its driver… give u an E43 AMG and ended up in longkang… are u telling people that E43 AMG handling are very poor? its the driver’s issue… not the car
Tbh, there isn't a "bad handling" car these days, sure, some are better than others, but the gap between all of them isn't as big.
The days of Perodua with "sampan handling" is very long ago.
Correct.
@@germaineliew2012 right, Perodua nowadays is too soft and floaty suspension . Not comfy but handling improved
Uncle, how the NVH level and the CVT noise of proton persona compare to honda city and toyota vios?
All CVT are almost the same
From this video it's far more powerful than bezza , as a grab driver I go genting before feel like driving potato climbing the hill.
Bezza has smaller horsepower
definitely..1.6 vs 1.3
Tested with the same cc's bro. I would offer my Saga 2020 as example. Starting from far way below to the top took less than half an hour enjoying the curvy road..it's true comfortable & confidence going uphill. My little 6yr old kid as my co-driver really love it. Guess what, she asking for another round. 😂 Daddy says : HELL yeah! 😂
hi Uncle Khong .... persona 2022 standard vs bezza 1.3 X which is better handling ?
Both have Macpherson struts and torsion beam arrangements, and are about the same height. Should be about the same.
From what I see here it is a better car to drive than the other rivals, maybe can get one for my son.
Driving & Handling Proton (Lotus) are standard features on all Proton cars because it’s about life
I am planning to buy the Executive model. 2 questions, 1. Is there a overheating problem with Proton 1.6lit engines? 2. After all the hard braking, how does the brakes perform aftermath?
There is no overheating issue with any of the Protons.
Thank you
Hi, how's the fuel consumption? If mainly city drive, full tank can achieve more than 400km?
If you are easy on the throttle, yes.
Got any plan to go up with a Swift Sport?
Looking for one.
Mantap. Pickup
ggwp uncle !
Paduuu
Hi Uncle Khong ... The Gear S in persona is for what use? is it stand for Sport mode or ? just for uphill?
It is to lock the gear in a lower ratio so that it does not go up. You can use it foe crawling along at low speed with power, or any time that you do not want the gear to shift up. When the road straightens up, you can shift to D and this will allow the transmission to shift to a higher gear.
Sir... how about compare with new Honda City?!
We have the video.
luckily use good year
I am quite impressed. There is a CVT whine but it’s very subtle and unobtrusive. It’s also consistent from downhill to uphill. I daresay it sounds more refined than even the latest Civic and Accord, both of which got annoyingly whiny towards the top.
However, you need to compare the speeds, the size, and overall comfort. Also note that sometimes, the recorders pick up different levels of sound.
hi, may i know what is cvt?
@@livelikecactus3732 Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) is a gear which it change ratios continously to fit the speed you’re at. You dont hear it shifting like an Automatic Transmission (AT) which makes CVT smoother than AT. CVT also whine really loud at high speed. (This is from what I understand about CVT).
Is the mc2 power same with mc1? Cause i got persona mc1 but never lanyak my persona in genting
Then it doesn't really matter, because you are never going to use it all. But the power figures are the same.
Thank you for making this fun video uncle. I've been waiting for you to review this model lol. I wanna buy this car but I read the review, most Persona mc2 owners complain about the head unit. Even in this video, the head unit light started to blink around 10:20 followed by the dashboard also. Is this a minor problem that maybe we can ignore? Seeking for advice 🤓. Btw I'm a new driver and maybe this is gonna be my first car ever 😂😂.
The blinking is not due to any fault - it's the frequency of the led versus video frequency not matched. I seldom test the audio sets, but this is an entry level car after all.
@@YSKhongDriving ahhh i see. I thought that was car's problem 😂😂
I had my mc2 for 2 months now. So far not much of problem except some rattling noise from the back seat . And the door panel is allergic to the hand santizer.hahaha. no problem with the head unit but it will take some times (2-3second) to play songs
@@michaellim146 noise from back seat itu apa yang longgar bro?
a 1.8 motor with a taller final drive would make it more flexible in town and relaxed at highway cruising.
This is a cvt, but the tuning is very different from others.
Uncle. next, proton persona 2023 maybe?
Just got my proton persona exec 2022 for a few days, overall it was great 🎉 despite some minor cons and one of them was the pickup (not sure if its the correct word) but when i press on the oil, it wont immediately accelerate, its kinda delayed so sometimes when i want to turn out at junction, im abit scared to do so as its abit delayed. Isit normal for proton persona??? Please let me know yarrr thank you~~~ 😊😊
The acceleration is consistent with that of a 1.6 liter NA car with a CVT.
With 106 ps power you need to put more revs down in order to get power. Try stepping on it a bit harder.
@@YSKhongDriving ohhh yes i did press harder then its abit loud but still quite delayed. Was it made like this?
Uncle if possible can you review a PROTON PREVE TURBO..
I think it may be hard to find a car
Hi uncle , compare between city hatchback and iriz which one you will personally pick for fun drive. Must choose only 1 uncle 😂.
City Hatchback has 121 ps, definitely more power.
Uncle: Feeling the car first
Me: That's better than my best drive
Hahaha, so funny!
Hi Uncle, what's your verdict between this car and Honda City (or Vios) in terms of the overall driving experience? Been in great dilemma choosing them? Altho I've booked for both city and persona now
When you select a car, go for what you need, what you can afford, and what you like
Personally I own the new City it's so fun to drive with especially with the pedal shifters also the interior is a lot better in the city torque wise it feels like there's more torque then it clearly states handles very very well at top speeds I'm talking 190-200. Personally look wise the City the best looking for me. Also I've had my fair share of experience being in the Persona and Vios, would definitely whole heartedly pick the City anyday
@@jonathanng138 thanks man, just got my city two days ago and felt all the strengths u mentioned. So far no regret!
To choose between persona premium and Myvi AV which one is better choice overall???
Both are entry level, and each has some great features: go through, then choose the one you like.
@@YSKhongDriving based on the durability of the myvi and persona. Which one should I consider to buy.
My works need to get me 60km on road twice a week. On other day maybe less than 30km daily.
Can u which car is best for those activities
Hi YS, which is a better car for youngsters? Persona or Ativa?
It depends on your taste and requirements. One is a SUV and the other is a sedan.
youngsters look better in Sedan, Ativa more to family person but Ativa cc is small tho
Proton boleh design kereta bg lawa sikit… dekat area tayar tu, ruang minta besarkan sikit, ni saya tgk kereta park sebelah2, antara persona dgn mini cooper, alahai ruang tayar kereta proton keciknya berbanding mini cooper.. padahal mini cooper tu dua pintu kecik ja keretanya
Beutl, idea awak, tapi harga pun kena jaga, kalau termahal, banyak akan complain. Mungkin bolih buat macam Active Iriz, ya?
This is the best handling car in its class. None of the Japanese or Korean makes even come close to this car.
I would beg to differ. Don't get me wrong, the Proton's are still pretty good for its class, but to say the recent Korean and Japanese cars aren't close isn't accurate. One example, I have an Iriz, and I've driven a Kia Picanto. To be frank I find the little Kia to be more exciting to drive in some situations.
Do remember when the Iriz and Persona was out, Perodua was still selling the 2nd gen Myvi and that is indeed world's apart in terms of driving dynamics.
Everyone had started catching up since.
@@germaineliew2012 Korean cars are so good nowadays, their reliability, fit and finish can match or surpass Japanese cars.
Go and drive all the Toyota models with TNGA platform then you'll edit your comment
@Royal Prince Even the current Vios/Yaris (Non TNGA) is quite decent in terms of handling.
Albeit more on the comfort side compared to the Proton. Only downside of the Yaris really is the rather dead and heavy steering feel.
the " class" it mean also include the price , not only the size
There's no 3rd and 2nd gear in this Persona. How to do engine braking ?
By lifting off? Anyway the major braking is done on the brake pedal.
Hi Hi Uncle Khong. I recently bought a Persona Premium after spending one whole month watching all TH-camrs' recommendations and positive comments about this car. I didn't even test drive it, because I believe all TH-camrs know better than me, especially the "technical feel" of driving this car. I am aware that everyone is saying fuel consumption is acceptable ok (not to compare to Perodua), the product sheet also claim it consumes 6.6l - 8.1l / 100km.... BUT, my first 100km driving in Puchong (75%) and PJ (25%) recorded 8.5litre (based on the multi-info display). The traffic was not that congested, and I don't consider myself a rough driver. Is the reading normal? some parts / tuning in the car go wrong? or i am too early to judge it?
City driving versus highway driving will show some variances.
Also driving style, tyre pressure and road conditiins will also affect consumption.
Puchong and PJ are heavy traffic areas, so you may not get ideal consumption
@@YSKhongDriving Thank you for the reply. I will KIV it for another 400km to see if there is improvement 🙂
nice uncle..
this persona 1.6 is more powerful or new myvi fl 1.5...?
About the same power.
If you get the Iriz 1.6, you will have a slight power advantage.
