I'm a MT Preve owner. Tried one yesterday with my parents

Persona Pros:
1) Better seats - preve seats are too hard + poor lumbar support
2) Easy to pull seat belt buckle - light to operate
3) Power - my dad actually thought it was turbocharged
4) CVT - no whining, smooth, minimum delay
5) Steering very good feel + light enough

Persona Cons:
1) Rattling - From FL and RL doors, and also behind the HU - my preve minimum to no rattles
2) Brakes - Not as linear as preve, sudden bite point
3) No "Instant FC" feature in MID. Only "Average" - Preve, Iriz, Suprima all got
4) A/C knobs feel very low quality - almost like Iriz
5) Loud tyre noise especially at the back - preve is quieter


TL;DR
NVH - Preve win
Power - Persona win
Quality - Preve win

You're welcome.

It depends on the steering itself tbh. Previously I was driving a Myvi 1.5SE (MT). The steering is light, but scarily so. Susah nak control the car on highway.

For me the Preve steering is good for highways, but just a little bit heavy in town.

Still using the original tyres. Baru 10 months and 17,000 kms. Yeah, they are a bit noisy, but the new persona was way worse. Goodyear

Please don't buy the Standard Suprima S:
1) That CFE engine FC is horrible compared to the VVT
2) 16" vs 15" tyres - bigger tyre = more expensive
3) No Hill Hold Assist
4) No Push to Start
5) Only 2 airbags
6) No ESC/VSC
7) No reverse camera
8) No front parking sensor
9) No Auto lights

If you want SS, at least take Executive variant or why not Preve CFE? Price wise should be very close to SS Standard but it has almost all of the missing items.

Oh wow, that's good. But website not updated
