People with low income should not get expensive cars, but they'll usually need "a" car. Living in the city is expensive, and having the privilege of working at the location you want isn't something everyone has.

The richer you are, the easier it is to go without a car. I live 2 minutes walk from a main subway station, there are zip cars in the parking lot by my building, I'm within walking distance of at least 5-10~ major bus routes, and while I need to take the subway to get to my current job, I can work from home whenever I want and there are decent jobs within walking distance if I wanted to jump ship.

I don't even have a driver's license. But most people cannot afford to live in such a location. So car it is. Get it used though!
