So wait, this means that if it weren't for safety and emission standards I'd be able to go out and buy a new car for 4000 dollars and a used car for a tiny fraction of that? I get that others want safety, but for me that's not as important as avoiding debt. Shouldn't I have the right to make that choice on my own?
- wilg 9y agoTo answer your first question: no. And as for the second, mostly no, unless you are purchasing a car that only kills or injures yourself when you get into a crash and also the emissions only go into your house and stay there.
- GFischer 9y agoThe emissions on a Kwid are far lower than those on an American car. And the Kwid would probably injure yourself and anyone driving with you... but, there's a version with ABS and Airbags, so the GP has a point. https://auto.ndtv.com/news/renault-kwid-1-litre-variant-to-come-with-abs-dual-airbags-as-standard-1257346 https://auto.ndtv.com/news/renault-kwid-1-litre-variant-to-c... Edit: by the way, I owned a Maruti Alto, and now own a Renault Twingo. I'd say it's surprisingly safe.
