here's the irony:
- there were numerous complaints on the campro engine noise even in the persona especially when you're revving it harder. albeit you think the m2 engine sounders better.
- family sedan handling and cornering is well, limited. if anything, i'd dare the m2 to fit the small silverstones
- the rear passenger space was complained a lot on the iriz and subsequently the persona too since it's basically the same chassis with a boot.
that said, personally it LOOKED cramp, since the roof is a bit low, however once sat in place in the rear seats it definitely isn't cramped at all.

now, if you're REALLY a single driver who's wanting more of a driver car, i highly urge over the persona manual.
the 30k saved can EASILY get WAYYYY better tires or even suspension if you prefer a stiffer ride (though god forbid on those adjustable/coil overs)
