Well that is how i ended up buying an Almera for ferrying my parents. Gap from door to seat small enough. roof high enough. however, many complain Almera feels under powered. It is really a big car inside, not easy to find parking if you park illegally at roadsides like wet market or hospitals. Anyway Persona saves you more money.
Yup, TS is using it to ease elderly in & out of the car. So cars that the seats are position just nice without bending or hurting their muscles/joints.

Means your friend know how to care for the car. Owner experience, either pump Ron97 or just regularly use fuel injector cleaner. Done. Response is dependent on driver habit. ECU will calibrate after a while. I tried driving slow for one week, when u floor it, like nothing happens. Hahaha.
Stable till 160kmph. Best at 60-120kmph.
