v2 is based on which car? 1st gen vitz/yaris platform? when was that vitz designed and introduced? at the end of 90s. being a student of mechanical engineering i can understand how design can result in better safety. adding airbags to a mehran doesn't makes its structure more rigid, it can collapse under accident and transfer the impact to cabin. that is my point. we see examples of persons having less injuries in diahatsu move or other newer kei cars vs corolla 2002-2007 in impact because even though corolla has more mass, the structural rigidity of a newer designed car is better, if you take a look through the brochure of any car, passive safety(structure design, suspension) is presented first and active safety later because active safety components come 2nd to passive safety.
about ownership? we have been practically living in this v2 for this semester which initiated at 27th october and riding this particular v2 before that too, the cons i mentioned are by owner himself and i've owned a passo of previous gen for a brief period.
and swift does come with ebd.
still i apologize for my poor knowledge according to you people
