Inexpensive cars - a way to independence or eternal problems?

In the life of every person comes a time when to spend 2-3 hours a day in crowded urban transport is not just tedious, but unbearable. Then something comes up about buying your own car. But I do not really want to buy used one, but the new one does not always have money. It is for this purpose that automakers around the world produce inexpensive machines designed to provide comfort for a relatively small amount of money to a person.

Manufacturers of cars, creating a segment of affordable cars, resort to various methods: copy previously created by others, use inexpensive materials from processed raw materials, reduce the basic equipment to a minimum. Sometimes such measures affect not only the level of comfort, but also safety, but honestly, most of those who move daily on the metro, trolleybus or minibus will happily prefer inexpensive cars to urban transport conditions. How justified is this step?
