In my opinion, lotus handling in proton is overrated.

Ppl has been talking bout how good proton cars handling is.

The fact is that, I own a 1st gen persona, drove it for 6 years.

lately I started driving vios 2nd gen, drove it at sub urban kampung roads, speed maintain bout 90-100km/h,

I do not feel that much of a difference between the handling of both.

It might be that I do corners at speed of 60-80kmh depends on the angulation of the corners, is it consider slow? Both car handles quite well for me.

In terms of pricing, a vios high spec is almost double the price of a persona,

The vios is a much refined car
-the engine is powerful and reliable
-transmission does not gv much problems too
-the interior is much refined compared to protons
-the steering feel is pretty good

In general, persona isnt that bad either, for almost half of the price of a vios. Its also reliable, it just lack that refinement,
-fuel hungry and less powerful campro but reliable
-4at is also a reliable transmission.
-IAFM will gv prob after driving 100-200k

I think best handling proton to is Gen2, but ride is like shit.

But even the best proton cannot match a basic Ford Fiesta which handles better and rides better.

Until today, Proton can't even tell exactly what Lotus Handling is.

the only true lotus handling is satria neo.

after satria neo, the lotus handling is simply just a marketing gimmick.

satria neo is truly a sports car. the only problem is campro engine is shit.

R u sure vios handling better? U must be joking. Vios is one of the worse car I drove in terms of handling. Fast speed unstable. Corner unstable

Change new persona the handling improved by miles and more powerful.

But gearbox vios feels better. That's all

Not fast
No rear roll bar
After 140km/h it's really unstable
Cornering is borderline garbage
Seats aren't that good
Interior n gearbox is good tho

yes vios tranmission is much much better coupled with its powerful engine. Im not sure of speeds above 120km/h , just started driving it for a few days.

vios is a city car, I think speeds below 120km/h is pretty much okay.

how fast do u want it to be?
no roll bar but if u dont do cornering in high speed its okay lah bro, Im not a racer.

Not so bad cornering lah bro, all along i hv been driving persona hantam corner, change to vios ok also lah, maybe driver skillful im not sure lol.

Seats is better than persona , interior much much refined.

The ride is better on vios, suspensions are softer , but not until like a sampan if u keep speeds below 120kmh.

Yes the car is light, I can imagine how it feels if above 120kmh. But for my usage, mostly on trunk roads max 110kmh, dangerous to go beyond that speed.

Ts can try tampin to kuala pilah road too. No need to go too fast to feel the handling. Sharp corner bend, can feel, hesitate or not to turn steering wheel. Can really feel, handling accuracy.
