TL;dr at the bottom of this post


The only major issue for me is that the steering weight is way too light on high speed. This is a tuning issue which I believe is easily rectifiable, I hope Toyota will look into it.

The light steering makes it feel abit unsafe, like a sneeze will make you change lane those kind.

But the body control is good. I heard even the New Camry also have excellent handling.

oh and let me add this:
myvi suspension is a pile of shit.
it's not even comfortable when it toss the entire car up upon going through speed bumps while the Persona and even better the Yaris soaks it up compliantly!

Yaris is definitely not a Toyota badged Myvi. its WAY better. lol

Similiar size.

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

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

from first glance it looks like yaris is bigger than myvi

even the old yaris interior wise feels bigger than myvi
