| Description |
| Persona once represented a big step forward for the Malaysian manufacturer Proton, but it's based on early Nineties Mitsubishi technology. Practical and functional, it's simply reliable low-cost family transport. |

| Contrà´le technique |
| At today's low prices, Persona makes some sense. The saloon and five-door hatchback are slightly squashed middleweight contenders. There's also a two-door coupe, a scarce but entertaining car for not a lot of cash. Proton used recycled Mitsubishi technology extensively in the early Nineties, which is good news on the reliability front. Persona is a Lancer (sort of). The Persona models fall short on space and refinement compared with mid-market rivals such as Mondeo and Laguna. Driving a Persona won't raise your pulse rate, but the engines are willing enough and handling is predictable and assured. |
