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.

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

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

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?

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.
