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.

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.

What is Social Bookmarking?

We all have favourite websites that we bookmark so that we can visit them time and time again, but these are stored on a specific PC or laptop meaning that when we use another machine, perhaps at work or at a friend's house, we can't access them.

Social Networking sites like Facebook and MySpace (sometimes called bookmarking or sharing websites) let you "tag" favourite websites or pages within websites so you can access them from any computer you are using. You can also share them with friends and other people with similar interests, thus spreading the word about a great site or product you have found!
