In my opinion abs and ebd are important but not necessary when comparing which car to buy, abs and ebd aren't much different technology, just extra lines to control brake pressure on individual wheels, every car equipped with abs in Pakistan does come with ebd including swift and liana. having brakes that stop you are necessary(not to mention brake pads of v2 start making noise within 5000 km), a corolla 2005 with abs doesn't brake better than a civic 2000 without abs, abs is a technology dependent upon brakes, wagon r does have nice brakes that last and, i understand that you still haven't read or practiced what threshold braking means. and airbags are necessary but i've asked you in about five different posts about zero chest protection provided by airbags in v2. airbags do provide protection if implemented in properly designed vehicles, not the case in china maal.
