I dont think Saga FL is value for money.

Ah - I see the can of worms has now opened LOL

In line with my original suggestion, I'm not sure many people would be totaly happy living with a Saga if they knew they could have had a more expensive-looking Persona instead.

I don't mean that Saga is a poor car - indeed it seems a sound design, probably more sturdy than a Myvi/Vios, (and certainly a 1.6 litre version would go like a rocket) - but it certainly looks the cheaper/more utilitarian car that it is - compared to a Persona anyway. However, if this is not important to you then it dos'nt matter.

If you want to minimise risks, then I'd say avoid a Pug 207. It might have a veneer of 'Euro cool' in Asian market, (it dos'nt here in UK) - but it is'nt anything special and I'd sooner trust P1's electrics...

Maybe the smartest money-saving option would be to get a recent used Persona if you like them enough

i'll buy a new car definitely...

comparing to city and vios, u'll get a fairly great handling car with persona with the stock shocks setup... plus the huge boot space...
persona interior for me is better than the vios... be gentle when operating the dials, switches and the door handles...

will never opt for saga since the shock become "mendap" already when 3 passengers on board excluding the boot loads either pre-Fl or the fl... but not sure about the recently launced 1.6 saga...


if taking corners with a little bit extreme than others are your concern... persona will definitely serve u well...
