The question is whether you can afford all these safety features. The clientele of entry level cars do not want (or cannot afford) ABS, EBD, HBA, TCS etc. They are buying a car for the very first time in their lives. All they want is a car without running repairs, without tyre replacement, without battery replacement,  etc  for at least 3 years. In addition to that, they are attracted to the 3 initial services which are offered free of charge by the local car agent. If they are to buy a second-hand car, sooner or later they will have to replace the tyres (a cost of Rs. 25,000 for a couple of tyres), and the battery (a cost of about Rs. 12,000). With great difficulties do they muster all their available resources to pay the monthly installment, and such additional costs are a huge burden on them. A Japanese car that is 8 to 12 years old is not immune from running repairs. That means more costs. Compared to Indian entry level cars, they are petrol guzzlers. Garage baases also charge for repairs according to the car type --- The highest charge for European cars, a little less for Japanese cars, the least for Indian cars.Without looking into this picture, you are finding fault with people who opt for Indian entry level cars. Try to be empathetic and understand their circumstances.</blockquote>
