CVT premium here. My FC is about 12.5im/l 100% highway. Daily travel 100km++ around 120-140km/h

Good or bad?

Cruising at 120-140 will be fuel consuming... and it also depends how frequent u travelled at 140km/h
The last time I'm cruising at 130-140 got me a 12.8km/l
But I wouldn't say this is bad... its quite average.. because at this speed its not meant for fuel economy anymore...

Next time try 90-110km/h, the fuel consumption will improve a lot.

Wow. Out of 10 cars, 4 are MT! That's more than I thought.
Having said that, I wonder how does the clutch play? Is the clutch pedal heavy?
My bro got a Satria Neo R3 and the clutch is very tight/heavy. I got an injured left knee so I didn't drive it. Having said that I'm interested to replace my Persona Elegance AT with this new Persona. If the clutch is light like Japanese car (e.g. Insipira 1.8MT) then it's not too bad...maybe my knee can handle it.  hmm.gif
*
Now is 5 out of 14 is MT... seems like quite a lot MT driver waited for this car for quite some time... I remember Bezza barely see 1 MT driver even after their page reaches 100

The clutch is one of the lightest clutch I've ever encountered compare to other MT I've driven, the bite point is slightly higher compared to other MT... but can easily get used to it after a few drive.
Never try Inspira before.. you may consult Quazacolt as he tried both Persona 2016 and Inspira 1.8 MT before... not sure if he still remember thou whistling.gif

Just pickup my new car yesterday, got to drive it briefly and notice that you need to press more on the paddle to feel the brake actually grip compare to my old car. is this normal for new car?

also not used to the response of CVT gear box yet, can feel lag response sweat.gif

I saw this in V1 thread for the tint spec for SafeTint,

Added.

For the brake, not sure about CVT, my MT brake is indeed need to press more compared to my other cars, but once the brake "bite" its braking power is quite strong yo... Old Persona and Saga FLX you need to slam quite hard to have this kind of braking power. You'll get used to it quickly.

As for CVT response.. that's out of my reach

1. Best I can get on mine is 16KM/l (manual) and that is with a major condition to achieve and yours are still below 1k, it will get better eventually after first service

2. Vibrate like what? can clarify specifically?

Thanks for the reply , its my second car ,i dont know alot abt cars

vibration like driving at 100 120 km/hr i feel either race or unstable road on highway (which is usually smooth in malaysia )

i feel it in my feet , shouldnt it be stable

i talked to few experienced friends they said change tires to 15'' add another carpet etc

sorry couldnt explain better , i was expecting smooth ride like new car has better suspension so i wont feel the jerks specially on a smooth highway at 100 to 120km

the car should feel smooth... but if u mean it feels wobbly on high speed that's because persona is a tall car... with a soft suspension for a relaxed driving...not spirited driving... the car is meant for city driving..not hiway cruising.. on the plus side.. hiway cruising is still better than other car in its class..

back to the topic... the car rim is already 15 inch?.. 16inch with wider tire will increase the grip....

but if u feel a vibration on the paddle..that's normal on any car.. with exception of luxury cars

Perhaps due to the tyre pressure? When I pump my car tyre for the 1st time the meter reading is at 260kpa, I lowered it down to 220kpa. I do the same like u too, taking corner at 140km/h - 160km/h at highway, can feel the car not stable, maybe because of the soft suspension. U can modify it by lower down the car spring.
