I think on day to day driving, most cars will feel similar with softer sprung car feeling more superior as most city roads are bumpy and rough, having a smoother ride makes you feel that you are more in control.

However, try driving up/down places like genting and Cameron that have sharp and continuous corners. That's when you can tell what car feels easier to control.

Gotta agree that IAFM is dogshit and campro is very rough. Most Protons have a very comfy yet firm ride but the noisy campro just ruins everything.

My own 1st gen persona is free of most creaks/rattles but the noise and vibration at higher speed /rpm from the engine is just terrible. Very quiet and comfy ride under 100kmh / 3krpm though, I would say it is even more comfortable than the latest myvi on rougher roads.

The 4AT is also smoother than stupid punch CVT for daily usage, no stupid clutch causing delays and jerks.

I drive the Vios Dugong for 8++ years..

The car in highway can go 150kmh on the speedometer... no problem, can maintain that speed ok, so far 8+ years the car still can do this speed..

corner is a big no no.. the electric power steering is like playing broken daytona arcade game.. no feedback and poor...

Addon- I did test on persona and gen2... the handling as in cornering feel and steering feedback is much better then Vios... So, yea... but those 2 car, drink petrol like no tomorrow when u hit 130kmh and over...

yeah, campro really minum minyak like 3 litre engine during higher rpm. im guessing that the engine is working very very hard to power the heavy chassis.

that's why not many persona/iriz/saga/exora/preve cruise at high speed, always bawak around 110-130kmh only. meanwhile axia/myvi/city/vios tailgating at 140kmh without worrying much about fc.

Heavy body, cacat gearbox plus lower horsepower what makes proton drink fuel like no tomorrow.

Persona/waja and gen2 I see a lot of people drive fast. Dunno what they want to prove. If they can go faster, other car such as honda city & vw vento can go way faster. P1 driver forgot if got 107hp, it will not make their car got 170hp if press accelerator hard. Lel.
