one is 72000 Rm and the other is 60000RM which one would you choose?

Swift la !

Swift !!!!

is the swift more value for money than the persona?

yes of course !

bro,if u have money,of course swift lo...money deserves it....but then this two cars can compare meh? one is arnd RM4x,xxx,xx swift is arnd RM8x,xxx,xx if not mistaken.....correct me i i'm wrong...haha

If you need boot space NEVER go for Swift. anyway CPS can smoke swift's DVVT engine anyday.

swift better overall. in term of brand, quality built, spec.
if u are a guy, i would suggest u get persona lar... bigger car ma..
if buying for female, then swift is the best choice.

swift ftw~!!!

Name oni Persona SE. But engine no "SE" (CPS)

I would choose swift lol but if you ask me value for money I would choose a manual mline/hline persona.
Persona SE is like......

Swift.

since when swift got dvvt? i thot dvvt is for daihatsu only.

If u looking for a small fun car then look no further for the swift. The persona will suits u if u need boot space or if u need to carry ur family around

I think he meant VVT la. There's tons of acronyms in the auto market now and it's not weird to see someone get confused.

In the end, VVTi, VTEC, VVT, DVVT, CVTC, CPS, VarioCam Plus, VANOS and etc does the same function.

I'll go for Suzuki swift..
Ts, go test drive both and make your choice, we can't tell you which one to buy

swift can speed one u knoe ! , paddle shift gear !

if im not mistaken,

saw that suzuki swift pay rm599 downpayment, monthly rm840 for nine years.

persona 0 downpayment, 600+/- for nine years.

try to consider suzuki unless u really need larger boot space then u take persona.

Persona SE.......the build quality has improved tremendously......its a bigger car.....with a host of safety features.....for a lesser price...

how about the hi-line gen2?


I'm single btw

depends on what you need , if you are family man i recommend persona tho , and if price wise persona as well , else swift should be ok

When u haf a choice, y go with Proton? Back in the day when there was no choice, that was a different story altogether.

dude...these are two different cars.....from two different categories....

u need to ask yourself what u need.... are u doing a lot of outstation travel with a few adults in your car..... if so....u need a sedan with a boot.

are u primarily a town driver....where small and compact will give you more advantages in navigating tight streets and crampy parking..

it all depends on what u want your car for...

if u are single and young and affordable, dun go back to proton lar... get swift for u..
swift is very nice driving, i test drive once before. the interior is solid and simple, yet sporty. i think u and ur beloved will love it better than persona hehe

GO FOR SWIFT..QUICK LITTLE HOT HATCH..HANDLES BRILLIANTLY AND LOOKS WAY BETTER..AND JDM IS A BONUS..

how bout wind noise? which 1 is better?

I thought swift already is a CKD unit ??

persona se looks nice, so is the swift. swift is a compact car that intend to go zipping in town, whereas the persona se is a highway cruiser, that is for u to go balik kampung. it really depends on u, but both good cars!

Persona will still smoke Swift

my vote goes to swift too. better + comfortable driving experience.

yup.....its ckd now.....hence the price has been reduced.....but the sport version is still brought in CBU

for me, just say TAK NAK to proton

haiz nowadays, still got ppl buy proton car to 'smoke' other ppl meh.. if wan 'smoke' ppl buy ferrari lar.. use kancil, satria, wira lancer, waja or persona to smoke ppl meh.
swift power is much more than u think. . . do u drive swift before?

buy car to smoke ppl

swift is nice...

Although the swift is underpowered but check today's CBT on NST and there an upgrade frm australia to change the pistons, upgarding frm 1.5 to 1.9 cc engine with 180 HP. But cost a whopping 12K.

Nevertheless the swift is a good city car.

one last question which one is more safer?

almost the same in terms of safety.

both has dual airbags rite?abs and ebd..

swift got 6 speakers.

If what u meant is crash test ratings, there's no ratings for the Persona yet... I think the Swift got a 4-Star from JNCAP if I'm not mistaken...

A pretty impressive and expensive upgrade I should say. More info here.

New Suzuki model like SX4 has 8 speakers, 4 midbass + 4 tweeters, at door panel.

definitely SWIFT lo....nice handling...wat is persona SMOKE swift, wat kind of statement is tat? if wan smoke ppl, buy a turbo car lo...haiyo...

i m P2 driver change to swift...more to town driving, is really driving this kind of compact car....my swift 6 months old d...

thanks bro for the update. hmm 8 speakers is good deal, even better driving experience.

hey congrats on ur new ride. i wanted a swift too compared to all the cars on the road back then

My persona will still overtake your swift easily, No need to use smoke or turbo LuLz. and with GPS i also can get anywhere faster because I can beat all the jams and find the shortest road . And what handling handling business? what KL road is F1 track ar? so thrilling and twisty and turny? LuLZ its just straight road and turn left and right only la. Handling handling my foot la. You think car is ladiez ar for you to feel feel and handle ? LuLZ.

Persona smoke swift so what??
Not that i am gonna race with every damn PErsona on the road everyday....


U wan smoke,go buy ciggarettes lah..

Anyway,I drove Swift before and its super nice lah..

swift

dun buy persona
brake tak makan

yaya, u win...persona is powder....opps...power.....GPS free by persona????wah, power oso wo....

This post has been edited by limyusiong: Oct 6 2008, 10:55 PM

who cares about smokin ler. It must b sum really strong smoke to make a person go all whoozy over a proton.

Swift lar.....Hard to trust Proton lar!!!

PERSONA SE? dont try it. The suzuki swift , sport edition, very cool, nice look, and small size. That persona SE, just add some inventory only, nothing special for me.

good handling has less understeer and oversteer plus good maneuverability. but hey, m sure persona has no problem with that, its equips with 'Lotus handling' isnt it. swift definately cant beat persona's handling......yeah....rite..............................

This post has been edited by elru: Oct 6 2008, 11:40 PM

Swift of course..........why even compare these 2 cars? One is a freakin ugly hatchback while the other one is Gen.2 sedan that doesnt "smoke". I prefer power.....thats too bad.

I drive a Persona (BL, not SE) and Im starting to like it, can bring ppl yumcha sometimes.

Why not compare the Swift to the VW Golf (or sum power-mongered GT-R) instead? Both are ugly anyway

agree... if got the money better buy the swift but if budget concern and need a sedan car for a lot of space then persona is a good bargain

hehe nice one there...

for me, the diff in price is what makes it uncomparable as Pesona is around 55k, and swift is 80k isn't it? Sport edition almost 100k edy...

Anyway, putting that aside, i'll take the pesona whatever/SE anyday...

Swift is one hell of ugly car - the added boot make it looks way uglier..try the swift saloon.



typical trait of ugly car when added photoshopped boot - like the myvi..




while proton base designed savvy look so much better...can't go wrong with proton these days.




Go for persona - cheaper spare parts cos of more local contents.

I would buy the NGV model persona ..wait for the release - my top choice - got place to put more stuffs and tank.

Boycott nippon products n screw the japs - I would even go for china stuffs if given the 2 choice.

later there will be a war here...

depends on your own budget and personal interest , why you want to ask other's opinion for your ride ? you can get your own cars with your own decision , make up your mind and i sure you will choose 1 car , all the best on choosing

lol swift is one of the best car ard but the sedan version is a total joke, hell like i would desire one.

swift sport n nice @_@

TS should go for a test drive 1st.
my advice is, do not trust some1 comment blindly

Agreed. This thread is more like fanboys' Persona vs. Swift thread.

hahhahaha....cant believe it ... a war started btw persona and swift....

dun lah fight fight...we friends what !


like farghmee said " dun trust the comments blindly "

go and test both cars first !
that would be the best solution to your questions !

the most retarded comment i ever read
thanx 4 cheerish my boring day

If you got money + dun have the need for space..go for swift..other wise Persona is a better choice..

Hey, my friend just bought his swift. He was so happy but then when he drive back home from the car dealer office, he realised that the car is small and he is so menyesal bought swift.

But what to do, he already paid the downpayment and already signed the agreement and also has taken the swift back to his home.

wasting money? didnt ur friend test drive 1st b4 make up his decision...

Squall_kay,

hey, fren, dun la said ppl like tat, later ppl persona SMOKE u then u knw...some hw, tis fella talking GPS with me.... is time for me to change my GPS again???


???he dint go have a look or test drive b4 buy???i salute ur fren la...

u know what... i think it goes a really long way in proving how much a person knows about cars when they start to compare 2 TOTALLY DIFFERENT category of cars ...

SWIFT is a COMPACT
PERSONA is a SEDAN

the engine capacity is slightly different
the boot space is ALOT different
the price is also ALOT different ... OTR price is 20k higher

heck, even Proton and Suzuki are marketing these model for DIFFERENT markets/customers...

so why are you comparing ?

like so many previous posts have said ...
you ougtha know what YOU want in a car ...

city driving / kai kai / makan angin / cruising arnd uni campus + alot of money ... get the Swift / MyVI / Jazz / March ...

with family / travelling / balik kampung / go to work n come back + don't want to spend RM70k for something that's gonna cost RM45k in 2 years ... get the Persona / Vios / City / Accent ...

IMHO, get your car facts straight then compare between the correct models for the car that you need ...

for those who wanna 'smoke' other cars ... go buy a cigarette holder and stick at the bonnet...

C'mon....they just wanna komper.....let them. Hey why not compare the Swift to a F430? That'll be sweet!!!

LOL ! Btw im having the same dilemma too, i guess people compare both cars because the closest jap car to a persona is a swift. In terms of price that is. Rather than pay 600+ for Persona, some are willing to top up 100 or 200 for a Swift.

That is why the comparison exists, I guess.

i guess the closest jap car to be compared would be city or vios in the compact sedan class...

its a hatchback for gods sake lah. mau kereta besar belilah accord yr 2000 .

NO MORE SMOKING BUSINESS!!! Persona is just a better car for that price. Swift? Its over priced!! Whatsmore its not fully imported.. so why do that? In the long term you will need to balik kampung and maybe take a road trip, then you will need a boot space. think about it....

the comparison is btw suzuki swift (standard model mind you !) and a persona SE (SE model mind you)....

i guess then, the mentality says ok !
but to base on reality and hard facts = its no way comparable...diff class, diff segment, diff engines! just like what most people says here...

want bigger space/boot space ???? GET AVANZA~!!~

ts, how much money u hav? ur salary? tell u frankly, if u r juz so so got around 3k per month salary n still got more to think rather than paying a car, buy the one tht is cheaper n more benefits for u...

swift is indeed a good car, n i admit it eventho i drive a persona.. but im not the person who looks for gaya, but duit xda..

i rather spend my money paying sumthing else which benefits me in the long term.. a car is an expensive necessity, so think twice b4 making a right decision..

but if ur family wanna buy u a car, for wat looking at these two? find something more expensive la

every car is nice, if u know how to take care of ur car...

if u lenjan it everyday, better buy something more quality...

Go for swift. Persona i tried my friend's one . Pedal to the metal also tak pergi.

I tested both cars before and both are are sufficient enough for daily driving. Well it all depends on whether u want a boot or not and if u r carrying more ppl or just a car for urself or 2 ppl. With that answered then ur choice will be very obvious.

In the end,Persona just advantage in boot space? Go for swift for solid built.

Depreciation= persona win
power=persona win higher HP (get a manual if you need more power and control, while swift stuck with auto)
style= draw (subjective)
FC= draw (Almost the same)
space= persona win
boot space= persona win
monthly installment= persona win
maintenance cost = persona win
modification prospect= persona win (R3 stuff are abundant and cheap)

power=persona win higher HP (get a manual if you need more power and control, while swift stuck with auto)
FC= draw (Almost the same)
i dont agree above two, persona got higher hp but much heavier than swift, 0-100KM/H swift can done it around 11sec, persona auto cannot.
FC Swift much better than persona.
small car mah.....

try driving on the hi way n c which one got better fc...

more heavy means more stable in hi speed...

if persona is not under proton, i dun think ppl will disagree in owning persona...

ls_ngu,
feel free to disagree. Check out suzuki swift thread. according to forummer the FC is almost the same with persona.
on power wise, there is acceleration and top speed. Maybe swift auto is faster by 2 or 1 second but top speed wise, campro rules. torque wise, swift is much better. low rpm, swift rules, medium to high rpm, campro rules.
wanna get more juice, go for manual. Auto scuk considerable amount of hp. plus you get better control of your car power with manual gb.
If you are petrol head, auto is a big no-no. Except for auto DSG of course.

swift if u dont care bout luggage area..

how about Myvi and Persona??
which one will u choose??
the new Myvi(EZi) is for RM 49 700.
the Persona is for RM 50 300..

u get what u paid, persona is using the same design as gen2, so in RnD cost, it already saved alot lor.
swift is selling design, and quality also. so u juz pick what u like lor. as long as u do not need large luggage area, and u have slightly higher budget then better get swift. but persona is a good buy also.

well if u drive a suzuki swift, ppl will looks more high up on u.....
if u drive a persona, ppl will just looks the same on u........

actually all of our opinion is not important, its how ur 1st instinct to both of the car...
so it depends on ur preferences.......

why wanna care how others look at you? as long as u got the money den u dont need to care what other ppl think right?
drive an expensive car but wallet empty, got use meh? hahaha i rather pick an average car and with lots of cash in my wallet

space and mid range / high end torque for persona iafm.
agility and slightly lower fc / more responsive low end torque for swift.

at the end of the day, it's very much depend on individual taste and which car suit our driving style.
some drivers drive like.... ' biar sampai cepat tapi selamat' and some others drive it like ' biar sampai lambat jangan tak sampai langsung'

TS, go test drive and feel for yourself. nothing beat the hands on experience.

how others look at us doesn't really matter!
as long as we're comfortable with the way we are..... so be it!

vote for Swift!

agreed.. ...average car can drive u around with alot of cash to spend on other stuff...

yeah yeah yeah the best phrase in this thread
then i can spend more in my hobby

dont waste ur money into proton cars hehe..swift is much2 more better..from body to engine..exterior to interior..goes to swift..

Persona dont have CPS, nice highway cruiser but worst off in FC. Swift drive by wire kinda sucky, there is kinda delay accerating from 0. Power delivery not that smooth but handle wells.

If i were you, look at the Gen 2 CPS or the Waja CPS. Both of em is worth more than the swift or persona.

i test drive the swift today, power delivery not bad, but there were instances when the oomph was not there. handling wise, its awesome, the engine needs more power though.

persona vote here!
drove my frens car..not bad..really
