A lovely looking car but let down by unreliability and the inability of the franchised garage to get the problems fixed quickly

Note - the 2 other owners reviews on here state they are for the previous, (pre 2008) Wira-based Persona - a completely different car. This newer GEN-2 based model is slightly larger and alot newer in design/execution. Bought as a long-term, smart looking, nicely driving family car, used for all types of journey, including city and long-distance, high speed work. Very cheap to run in context and is much improved over earlier GEN-2 models. Handling/ride befit a more expensive car, engine quite gutsy but boomy at high revs, proper autobox works well. Trim nicely designed but only very average quality. Spacious interior with ISOFIX mountings and a large boot. Minor glitches to locking system quickly sorted under warranty. LPG system has proved faultless. A lot of stylish, good VFM car for the money, especialy if bought used. *Economy figure above for petrol - returns 29 MPG on LPG, but this equates in fuel cost terms to a 53 MPG diesel.
