To me, "entry level" indicates something people start out on and then work their way up to something more professional as they gain skill or experience. That's not often how it works with cars. You buy what you can afford. I cannot afford a Porsche and will never "move up" to one. I looked at 10+yr old Caymans - not willing to go that old for that much money.

The twins are all about fun/$ that's obtainable for most buyers. They clearly cut corners to keep the price down and focused on keeping the driving experience primary. If you have the money to spend, you will find other great options with nicer interiors, better stereos, more power, built-in adjustable suspension, etc.
Just because it is aimed at a "beginner" doesn't mean that it is restricted to one nor that you are expected to "move up".
It is not a back and white definition by any stretch but completely accurate when applied as a more general rule.
