just got my persona, i am satisfied with it. some problems : 1) rear window is too high, i cant see the lower things. 2) manual gear a bit hard to change, some times don't know whether it is free gear or not...3) passenger side's window mirror is manifying glass, not used to see it.
I saw the manual book shown that the economy gear change time is = 1st gear at 35km/h , 2nd gear at 55km/h, 3rd gear at 90km/h and 4th gear at 120km/h. That means i will seldome use the 5th gear in the highway if i just drive 90 - 110 km/h only?
