IMHO, if someone can afford to buy a Camry at RM150k to RM180k, he is already quite well off financially. His life should be important enough to afford basic safety features of the car he is buying.

Passive safety feature like ESP or VSC is there to help prevent accident from happening. With it, you can have a better peace of mind knowing that, if shit does happen, you can rely on these features to help you regain control of the car and avoid a possible fatal accident.

Active safety feature like airbag and etc, is used when shit already happens. These are last ditch attempt to safe your life, you don't really want to use these. Your airbag will not deploy until there is collision. Just like your steering rack will not collapse until collision.

IMHO, prevention is always better than cure. So love yourself, love your family and love the passenger whom is going to be in the car. Choosing a car just because of brand recognition is just plain silly.

It's not the VSC that makes me pissed. It just doesn't even make sense to pay RM184k for a car that is almost stripped bare bones on essential safety and convenience features. Even more baffling are people actually willing to pay 160k of their hard-earned money for a completely barebones 2.0G car when better options such as the Passat and 508 are available for almost the same amount of money and those Camry owners are all W or B plates.

The only justification I can think of buying a Camry right now is for those people who stay in an area where there's no VW/Peugeot/Mazda/Ford 3S center near them (within 40 mins travel time), otherwise... why?

Do it like how i do it, when i drive pass them i look at them and smirk.....
I only do this when i see Camry 2.0 owner.... seriously... RM160k for an ancient dinosaur.
