Test drove the new car AT M-Line, here's what i think for the comparison:
- NVH is indeed slight better than the old one, the engine sound is quieter than my M-Line even i did the soundproofing.
- freaking cool instrumental meter, i like the red light needle part and dimming part.
- break still remain unchange, spongy.....
- handling is still the same except my streering starting got cracking sound (sigh)
- power, i found it the old one has more power, maybe because facelifted is a new car (not seasoned yet) and my M-line is MT

- chiffon green first colour that makes me drool about it

- new side rear mirror is huge compare to old one! reduced a lot of blindspot.
- AC kompressor quieter than old one

if you guys try to notice, the facelifted AC pipe is different with the old one.

picture above is the old model version, when u test drive the persona elegance, try to open the engine bay and check the same red spot with the above picture, u will know what i mean

wanna ask the SA about the difference about that but he seems doesnt know much about technical from the very beginning when he intro the car, so i'll just ask my favourable SC manager when i going for my next 10k service

from what i think so far, persona really has a bad wiring(grounding is very bad), even their facelifted version, i still think they has some bad wiring as well compare with others car, especially they putting a noisiness/powerful kompressor which will make the power lag (it's so obvious and it's very annoying everytime it kicks in) and i see a lot of persona (near to 50%) on the road the rear light always only 3 red bulb lighting up(usually 4), plus the automatic transmission is not responsive at all. So if possible, i highly recommend it to install VS with 5 grounding kits. We got a few persona owner who installed the VS+5 grounding kits, makes a lot of difference for the smoothness, not to mention it improved the fc as well.

how old is your car? if your car is 2-3yrs then don't waste money to install it... coz you won't feel any difference due to the car wiring is still new.
on the other hand, if your car often burn light bulb or car light will dim when your air-con is on or you had install audio system / sub woofer, then you r advance to install the Pivot Mega Raizin. make sure you buy the main unit together with 5pcs of ground wire. you will only maximize the pivot mega raizin with those additional 5pcs wire. good luck.
