My family was about to get me a new car - Persona Basic
after i get to the showroom, i found that the Saga FLX SE have the same price as the Persona Basic
and seems like both these cars are using the same engine.
I try to do some research online comparing these 2 cars but seems like there are more people
suggest to get the M-Line of Persona compare to the Saga FLX SE,
since now there are only Persona Basic,
i would like to heard some recommendation/suggestions from you guys  who experienced with this 2 cars
or someone who have more knowledge on this.

so now i'm now struggling and thinking which one should i get.
Thanks in advance.

FLX exec and above has 2 airbags, ABS+EBD. Persona B-line has none. Which one is safer?

Firstly, there is a old gen vios at my home (the last batch before the dugong came out). THAT was the good Vios, but 5 years in it is beginning to develop engine problems as well. So yea, I know what the Vios is and is not. The Dugong has even worse build than the first gen, you are so confident it will have no problems a few years later ?

Secondly, sounds? go check the Vios thread man, dashboard rattle in brand new cars. FLX and Persona also have dashboard rattle, but I paid 50K for a rattling car, they paid 75k at least. The O2 problem is not unique to my friend's car either.

Thirdly, The Vios bought new is already overpriced. The secondhand value is greatly inflated as well. So buying a used Vios is a double whammy. The old gen Vios in my house was can still fetch around 50k, I was told. Imagine that, a 5 yo Vios worth 50k. If you wanna buy a Vios, at least get a new one, it's less stupid.

One thing I do admit, Vios's absorbers last dem long.
