are you using stock tires, as in 195 60 15R?
i'm not comfortable wack corners with those continental tires and size... if 195 55 15R or 195 50 16R even with falken - i will dare...

i never tried testing the car with vios's accelaration at stand still... but i did tail gate vois on roads... not a hard to kiss his butt if i want to...
is our torque rally lag? the blacks and whites written is more that vios?!? mayb our car body is heavy than their's...

That tire more than enough to beat vios because persona has more low center point of gravity than vios. Another issue is the use of tonsion beam at the rear of vios.

Actually I wouldn't recommend going head to head with your friend, dont care whether cornering or top speed. This is because as below:

You see, vios has a high rate getting into accidents if driving carelessly. You might want to read the MIROS guy as he will go into technical details.
U try searching persona in both blogs? Only 1 accident. That also is not the persona's fault. But condolences to the victims family though.



and speaking of which, early this morning, i saw one vios alone accident just before the puchong toll at LDP doh.gif and earlier this month, vios accident alone in the Smart Tunnel doh.gif

(THIS IS AN UPDATED ON THE CAR PERFORMANCE TEST BETWEEN VIOS AND PERSONA ELEGANCE)

after all the arguing with my friend who has the best performance car, today we have the result:

first we have the acceleration test.
no doubt that persona has a weak power below 3k rpm. the new vios is no where a head of persona when we started from knot. we when neck to neck until persona reached 3k, the power kicks in, and from there on the persona is leading vios with a few hundred cm distance difference. and all the way we go...

second, top speed...
with just leading vios a bit, both of our car continue on reaching our max speed. we when on and on until our speed reaches 175km/h, persona started to pick up, leading the vios cm by cm... when the persona reaches 190km/h, the poor vios is clearly at the back of the persona.

my friend had a wet hand when he came down from his vios, and swear that he will not do top speed on that car again. he claim that it is not stable and felt very light on the car driving at that high speed.

Persona is not that bad at all... affordable, good performance car... nothing more to complain...

my question:
did the 32 bit ECU helped improve the persona's performance?
or the vios driver is lousy driver?

this question will remain un-answer, coz the vios driver had swear not to test car again happy.gif
*
knn....

u really went to head-to-head with ur friend.. sweat.gif As i'm not worried about u and ur persona, at least have some worries on your friend with his vios. If u tested at MEX, the road there are bumpy, the rear torsion beam will caused the vios car's rear wheels to lose traction from the road and... kadaboom doh.gif

I know u dont wanna lose after all the baseless bashing by him, but kesian your friend safety also lulz blush.gif

Lulz... dunno la, i have taken it out then now planned to put it on my old proton iswara, see got positive difference or not.

Well, there is a possibility i might bought the wrong vs, since the name is pivot spark, kinda thinking it meant to improve the power of the spark plug (which new cars don't really need this kind of improvement lol).

But now i missed the cool volt meter reading whenever i opened my bonnet laugh.gif

lulz.. dunno whether i have told this before or not.. as i were searching for cars, i had city and vios in mind. But since my salary was like below 2k at that time (just started work), so pass. Well, had an interest on persona, tested to sit inside, it is comfortable. Browse car magazine, found out old vios and city cost around the same like persona. So i cant decide whether want to take a new persona, old vios, or old city.

Then came my boss, poison me kaw2 to take a second hand toyota or honda coz their resale value is high and good quality. I was almost ate the poison, until the next week, my boss second hand honda jazz's gearbox went kaput. He was quoted 7k++ to repair it. When i heard that, i was thinking "if my second hand car gearbox or engine went bust, how am i gonna fork out the money to repair it?"

So immediately, i booked persona, a new car that certainly have warranty to save from the miserable incident laugh.gif

obviously your old car engine's gasket is leaking and piston's ring is worn out leading to the entry of engine oil to the combustion chamber. That's why you can see the white smoke and constant decreasing of engine oil. Do a full overhaul, if u want to keep your old car that is smile.gif
