My friend is looking for a car, and he is considering Persona/Waja/Neo. I told him you can't possibly compare and contrast the 3 because all of them are for different needs. He never mentioned Myvi or Viva. Then it struck me, since Persona's launch, it was never Myvi vs Persona. It always has been Persona vs Gen2 or vs Waja. People that can afford those price range actually decide whether they want a "Perodua" or a "Proton". If Perodua, then obviously Myvi. If Proton, it might be Persona/Waja/Gen2 or possibly Neo. So Persona does not hurt Myvi's sales, it hurts Gen2/Waja sales. I agree with Azrai there.

These two cars caters for different people. MYVI buyers mostly will be women, a young man and woman and concious about fuel usage. Maybe the 1st time buyer due to high price of ViVA. For the persona, it’s a family car with a proper boot. Different people, different needs. ARE YOU VERY SURE Myvi is for FC-conscious buyers? Maybe you can supply me Myvi's FC. #
