i tested this car
dont know how to put my thought in words now but it is really huge improvement over iriz. the refinement is thr. this is what iriz should have.

engine is a lot quieter! no longer scares me when i step hard on the pedal
punch cvt is also improved alot, it is getting nearer to City torque converter type feeling, jerking is almost non-existence

outlook, my ranking currently Mazda 2>new Persona>City

one more thing, interior quality improved a lot too from iriz. No more flimsy buttons! Or at least i have tried hard to find but could not find anymore from the 2 car that i touched. glovebox is aligned this time LOL

preve is better in handling,but the tyres provide arent really good. preve esc is only apply for brakes,not engine n brakes. plus preve iafm is phasing out. only cfe is available.

preve is a class above. what ive been told,persona bom(bill of materials) cost ratio is higher than preve which means material used is higher than what proton need to spend for their car(the ratio,not total bom cost cuz if total bom cost,of course preve is higher).

refinement is much much better than preve. if u want to buy preve,my personal advice,wait for the facelift. even the ecu use in campro vvt is diff from iafm n cfe. it is better.

all the refinement that has been done by rnd will be slowly slip into any proton line in the future.

in rnh engineer eyes,is totally diff than what common user perspective. thats why iriz r3(race spec) can compete with suprima n preve r3(race spec) in handling department,even with  just being torsion beam.

for user or consumer,u need to drive it to know whether it suits your preference.
