personally, i would say if u're still a teen/ur 1st car, the vios will suit u more... Firstly, it's bcoz of it's small size so moving around would be much easier especially parking... 2ndly, it's juz 1.5, better fc i tink and gives u amost the same amount of hp for a lighter and smaller car... 3rdly, the car is already modded to suit u (in my opinion) like the sports rims and the audio sys... i noe dis very well coz i'm a student too and find that these few points r among the stuff in my 'need' list

however, do take note that the car is an older car so some parts might have worn off but like wat u said the car is only mainly for city driving and the mileage is also quite low so i wouldn't say the prob will be a big issue tho... lastly, not saying the persona is not a gd car also but honestly, i tink the car is more like a family car due to its large size and it's also not so sporty looking as well... Juz my personal view...

1st of all, i reli appreciate that that u replied 2 each and every1 of us that posted in this thread Juz wanna add on to my points... well, when i was talking bout those added accessories, they're not actually the main point but trust me smaller cars are much better to drive around as i was driving my dad's altis for some time before i got my own car (myvi)... furthermore, i do realise a difference in japanese cars compare to local cars... My dad had been owning some honda's and toyota's for years (not to mention some local cars as well) and i can say that after a few years the difference r quite quite obvious in terms of qc... for example, rattling sound r quite common prob on local cars (after a few years) but i dun realise such problems in any of the japanese cars (that my dad own before and even among some of my friend as well) or maybe not in my case but i also realise the materials finishing are different although i would say the fittings for CKD japanese cars and local cars are equally below average compare to CBU cars... to check on this, u can knock on the material (eg. plastic) and look at the finishing part of the pieces/fitting, u'ld realise the thickness and the fineness of the finishing are different... Juz wanna share my experience...
