hi guys,

the newbie here. i have some question to ask the persona user here, is it worth to buy persona sv now? currently i'm just planning to buy my first car...but still wonder whether to take persona sv or iriz 1.3 cvt.. so b4 i make a decision, i need some of opinion to persona user. maybe u guys can share some experience.

thanks. :-)

yay! i got gang! 1st time carbuyer!!!

hi gang..so what car u have bought?

thats not a fair comparison. in terms of price quite the same, but the tech and size not the same. persona is sedan, iriz is hatchback. FC wise I dont know. maybe iriz better coz new engine and cvt.

persona-sedan,old engine tech, old gearbox tech, not city driving friendly
iriz-hatchback,new engine tech,new gearbox tech, city driving friendly as a contest to myvi.

i also considering the SV. seems feature packed right? macam best...

wah! does this mean persona sv not good?

bro. dont be like that. you know fubar is like that meaning you are otai in here. if not good then my persona standard cannot go through from jitra to kuala terengganu. jitra-simpang pulai-lojing-gua musang-machang-besut-kuala terengganu. with some mishap along the road. cameron with landslide at 3 place. got stuck in mud while want to use shortcut through tasik kenyir road (uturn). friday last week I went. from jitra 5pm, arrive at machang at 8am next day. continue journey at 10am. arrive at kuala terengganu at 1. my car with grand livina. can follow grand livina I think is very good for that price. don't get me wrong here. I am just saying the facts.

proof. at shell machang.

Bro, depends on what you want. As mentioned, iriz is a hatcback, a smaller car. A persona is a sedan.

If you are more on long distance driving, definitely a sedan is a better choice.

If you do more on town driving, iriz should be better. Or why not choose a myvi for city driving?

If you want a more reliable car, a persona is proven to do so. As it has been in the market for quite some time, major problems has been solved.


Bro why did you drive so much? You working with Poslaju isit? jalan sini jalan sana.

sending adik future wife to petronas school in kuala terengganu. home at jitra. grik-jeli is closed coz of landslide. too much luggage he want bring. making grand livina too compact to put all people inside. no other road. only that road can be used. shorter than JKR proposed route through muadzam. too far oi.

like to turn turtle also speed on highway like they are the fastest. dont know what they feel going 150 on highway.

Eh mana ada la

Will be getting brembo pad also la.
Kalau blh I'll buy the disc also sebab dah skim one time dah. Now goyang a bit already the steering :S

Change the brake caliper cover for whut bro? Google for the cons then you consider again.

Eh no la, the caliper is a ...... joke xD

I already know the cons

Sounds so serious
Means changing rotor? Brembo?

Possibly la. Heard local mechanic say can skim twice, max thrice. But mine just skim one time only.
The only problem is I takut mati la. I always drive back wife hometown at Kelantan

Not sure when my absorber will die la one day. You know la the road back to Kelantan is not flat. =_=

Skim rm70 to rm80 right?
New blank disc rotor only about rm130? I didn't skim mine and changed straight after the old one warped.
Get crossed drilled slotted from me also can

Will you be fetching passengers or driving alone only? If you're driving alone the Persona is very nice. There's no need to care about passenger comfort. If you fetch people, take the Iriz. The rear seats are terrible in the Persona.

Skimming to me is not worth it.. Better go straight for new rotors. OEM style or whatever. Better than spending money on skimming unless a new set of rotors are really expensive, which isn't the case for the Persona.

thanks for sharing the info guys. maybe i will take persona sv for long term use. today just meet with SA to discuss and try the car. maybe wil be one of persona user later..

Hmm, not sure. Last time skim + change brake pad cost me RM200. Should be around there la the pricing

Iriz rear seat is not thin? Last time I sat in Iriz at roadshow, I think is thin than Persona but thicker than axia/myvi. or its just me being forgetful? legroom seems persona more bigger.

As far as I remember it is thicker than the persona 's seats. The problem with the persona 's rear seats is that it's like sitting on a poorly cushioned small stool but with back support and poor head support. The leg room is decent only if the front passenger and driver is not tall.

The Iriz seats on the other hand supports the leg pretty well and the leg room is much better front and back.
