Your life and safety is much more important than driving a PKDM with no airbags and proper brakes.
Can you find a rare internal engine part at Suzuki or Toyota 3S dealership, if you got into an accident? SURE. But it won't be you going there. It will be your heirs.
Because you might be in a hospital bed or god forbid not even in this world. A freaking Corolla XLI and Honda City, around 2.5 million PKR, do not come with air bags. Even GLI I think, older models. No ABS either.
Our brothers suggesting to buy a PKDM, say a Mehran or Alto, just because it has local parts.
In an unfortunate accident, you should be caring more about your BODY parts, rather than the car's parts.
A well-established JDM - you can find most parts in scrapyards, e.g. for Vitz/Prius. Needs some searching. Yes, no way brand new - very rarely if you import.
You at least will be driving a safer car. And that comes out on top.
But yeah, not if you're doing above 120km/hr - no car will save you at that speed.
So, it's all about what's important to you.
Your own body and its parts + safety
Or finding all the parts at a dealership (rarely people buy new PKDM parts anyway).
Of course, for models like Grande and Civic with safety features, a PKDM can be preferred.
