of course lah,  yaris is bit bigger than myvi what?

Similiar size.

Yaris body is longer, but the wheelbase only 5cm longer.

Infact Myvi has a wider body and wider track than Yaris.

I've finally test driven the Yaris myself, albeit a short/lousy experience with the Toyota Salesman at Wangsa Maju branch.

from the limited experience:
- facelift Persona (and further mentions from here will be the facelifted version) Suspension overall is better
- Yaris is more compliant/comfort for road bumps/speed bumps/potholes painted lines etc
- the brake servo/pump on the Persona is much better, even though only being ~50kg heavier
- braking on the Persona is more confident inspiring despite being a heavier car
- the CVT 7 fix ratios are actually fairly responsive, and actually allows me to go to 1 (M1), although i suspect the "1" ratio isn't that apparent as normal manual 1/slosh box 1 as the RPM's aren't really that high... or maybe possibly like the myvi, dash says 2 according to the gear knob, the in reality the car auto shifted to 3 :x
- i LOVE the panoramic camera. OCD parking into boxes is SUPER easy now lol
- Yaris sound system not bad. can't remember if the Persona have dedicated upper mids/tweeters similar to the Yaris/my 86. will confirm next time
- Yaris tire sizes damn shit, not sure if the rims can cope a cm increase in width both the 16 and 15 also same story.
- rear leg room is shit for the middle passenger. it'll comfortably carry 4, but 5... sucks for the center person.
- the engine is definitely more responsive than the paper specs. throttle lag is less apparent than the Persona. albeit, once you past the lag, Persona definitely have more punch with the clutch based CVT and being 100cc more and reflected on the paper specs as well. hah Proton actually being more power than Toyota? NOWAI!  rclxs0.gif

both got good points also la... but is it worth >20k better?

the most common interface - steering
Persona had leather wrapping (only on the thumb portion, 9/3 o clock position) while Yaris... it SAYS leather on brochure, but the actual thing, felt more like hard plastic. UNLESS they meant the center honk piece, that's soft plush leather... (if that's the case, what the actual fuck? lol)

Yea the Yaris is quite alot longer, so from the side the Yaris confirm looks bigger. But from front and back they will look similar and the Myvi is also slightly taller.

Interior no idea, have to compare side to side.

it is virtually the same as vios, just with a bit more rigid chassis and shorter car length.

Bobby Ang is an exaggerator.

Watch his Camry review and then compare it to the one from Roda Pusing.

Jazz vs Yaris, although I'm still still slightly in favour of the H car.

Jazz > Yaris.

At least comparing the GD1/GD3 to Yaris (and in "fun" perspective).
