if you are established and can afford other cars, by all means please do so.
Of course Vios, City and even latio is better than persona in many aspects.
But if you were to ask people like me, price comes first.

Comparison among cars in the same range of price is better.

Tzepeng...the rear room space or leg room of Persona certainly spacious
then the OLD Vios. Old Vios is crampy even on the driver side. At such I
patiently await for the release of the new Vios.

It was me who encourage a colleaque of mine to get the Vios since she is
a working mum w/o having test or seat on one that time. She test drive
one & return complaing even for her size of 5'+ she said is cramped in
both front & rear. Not wanting to believe her, I tested also & eventually
agreed is simply to small for family drive. I hardly able to move while
seating at the rear as my leg got stuck to the front seat.

At such both coleaqgue & I still await for the new Vios which claimed
improvement over old model that gave better space.

my first impression on Persona after driving it for few kiolmetres

The 1st gear is acceleration is impressive, but following 2nd and 3rd is
so-so only. Never hit >75km/h so dunno bout NVH thingy. I Don't expect
much from this Proton baby because it is still noisier than a Korean, eg:
ELanTra or a Toyota Vios.

I have no experience on Gen2..so dunno if compare to G2...

yes la.... this is one thing proton failed to address. the old "if you
don't buy, I got 100 customers lined up waiting to buy attitude" is back.
But the EON sales girl was patient and gave me all the details without
being sombong. She's hot too. Tongue

-------------------------------------

Obviously mr powerhaus come here is here to bash without checking himself
to the car..

still the same problematic Cam tak pro????

OR still the same problematic mind that live in 20years ago without
accepting any new improvement in the world and insist to live inside his
own imagination??

haha~~anyway....give some useful suggestion here rather than bash
blindly..plsss

if want to know whether the drivetrain got problem onot, feel free to go
to the showroom and test drive the car.

even here we tell u that the car's drivetrain had no problem at all, u
will still not believe. Rather than bashing here, go check out the car
and tell us how problematic is the drivetrain,

By the way, i am driving the cam tak pro engine...unfortunately, it give
me no problem at all. sad to tell u mr powerhaus.
