today i test drive PE, flx se and myvi 1.3 new one.. For PE, it is comfortable, the seat is just nice, and powerful enough. BUt i dont like the car it owes lower the gear even i slightly press the pedal abit.. feel like u gonna be very gentle on the pedal.. else will sudden lower gear.. and also the persona break, got that kind of sound >< i very dont like, can fix one? Like u press brake then will got tat krukk krukk or rubbing sound.. I think is not wear and tear problem.. flx se new one also got tis kind of sound.. very annoying.. and persona back seat is really suffering.. but seems like if h-line persona the back seat is little mroe comfortable to seat in..
myvi 1.3 same as my old myvi, except that it is less noisy and steering not bad for city driving. Din try long distance, cos around the test drive area no very long de road.. not much complain on myvi, except no boot but it is already a fact.. but myvi on bumpy uneven road not so smooth like persona, persona NVH is really best among the three..
then flx se.. the cvt need time to get use to it.. drive cvt very easy fall asleep, cos the car sound is da same lol.. no downshift or upshifting, the NVH is worst among all.. but no tyre sound la.. just campro engine sound sibeh loud.. and flx se on uneven or bumpy road have same feeling with myvi, perhaps stiffer abit the spring..
overall, i am pleased with myvi and persona.. but myvi car no proton car special sound effect.. persona alot of unexplained sound.. i guess i am more lean towards myvi.. but still dilemma on the boot space.. cos city drive only most of the time.. at Miri if wan travel, normally can only travel by air.. not much choice.. my work also not really need me drive to drive 100-200km outstation. I guess myvi se might be my choice la

but i really like persona comfort level...
in my opinion, in ur case, it is better to buy that turtle.. persona's built are heavy, when start-stop driving, definitely will cost u more if compared with the turtle.. in term of luggage area, maybe there is some limitations there for the turtle, but hey, do u need that extra space everyday? in east malaysia, its not a culture to travel far with a land vehicle right? usually people will prefer to travel by air.. and if die die also u want a luggage area, top up a bit and go buy a Vios Jspec.. Driving persona there at ur place wont bring u any good.. just my 2cents..
