Pros:
-Stable at high speed
-Handling awesome
-CVT big improvement over the Iriz, after driving for 1k km, my car feel little to none throttle lag
-Safety features
-Comfortable for long period sitting in the car
-Speakers
-Head unit is smooth for my car, no lag, I open Spotify and radio only
Cons:
-Rattling at dashboard
-No adjustable headrest for rear seat
-Brake too soft and spongy, but can adjust
-Some people experience loud wind noise at 60kmh
-Some people say the rear seat have little legroom
-Lousy stock tyre
-Interior plastic feels cheap, but can't expect much at this price
-High fuel consumption at city driving
-The passenger doors may hit you if you're not careful when opening the door, it has the arrow-like shape
To me, only the rear seat no headrest is the big con, others either can be solve or don't irritate me.
The engine and gearbox is the same with Iriz, I don't see problem on Iriz for two years(or yet, still early to make conclusion). The engine mounting is different, don't know about the reliability. I like my car very much.
Which variant? How is the speaker performance compare to iriz? I personally feel the leather seat of persona is better than iriz but Iriz fabric seat for 1.6 exe still the best....
