TS,
Y dun u give both a test drive? Both d Persona n Saga are in different segments although d d top range vs d base spec makes pricing very close to each other.

D main difference on paper r already mentioned above. Its just a matter of wat ur preference is.

Tats b'coz 1.6 FLX SE running on lower profile, wider tires n larger tires complared to FLX. Apart from tat i didnt really feel any significant difference between both while driving.

But my personal take on d Persona (passenger) vs Saga FLX SE (driver in FLX SE n passenger in older BLM wit same suspension setup n chassis)

Persona
+ better NVH
+ less body rolls in d corners (multilink suspension in d rear)
+ useful split fold seats n larger boot
- poor thigh support for rear occupants
- average leg space compared to Saga (but then its based on d older Gen2 platform)

Saga FLX SE
+ passenger seating
+ smoother drive though engine note not as refined as other CVT-equipped cars
+ buzzy CVT drivetrain (same applies to P1's Exora Bold n Preve)
- more body roll (though not alarming) from taller n narrower body n suspension setup
- poorer NVH
