Automobilismo: quando si tratta di automobili, spesso siamo colpevoli di acquistarne più del necessario

With those stupid PCPs Irish people are buying new cars like disposable fucking vapes at this stage

Car free now for 3 years and its the second best financial decision ive ever made, ive had to use gocar maybe once a year, asides to that its all bicycle, walking and public transport. Amazing how little you need a car in urban areas when you put a bit of effort in.

Users are only partly responsible.. We voted for a government that builds mandatory roads and b ythere design makes motoring almost mandatory, but then they outsource the means to use that roads to bunch of foreign car companies and allow marketing budgets to run wild?????

Its a bit like flying in the old days, but we also compete on how fancy and expensive the flight to destination is… So instead of being proud of our 10eur flight all of us when we travel would be aiming to in 1st class or private even.

ITs a crazy good deal for car manufacturers, here is a compulsory product and they influence the government to provide the infrastructure and they also got to make the rules ( regulatory capture) and they get investment tax incentves and tehn we produce cars at every price point…

Govt with big EU car making coutries is not our freind here.. Ideally they should be forcing car industry to come up with ryanair model….. Basically all laws and R&D are about safety and low cost and then force car companies to become transport companies and they must produce modes of transport at all cheapest points….. e.g. scooter, bike, bus, shared car, private car and make car companies responsible for that safety…. The feckers talk enough in backrooms about car standards, well they can also spend more time talking about safety, economy and the environemtn…

Guilty of buying more than we deserve? How dare anyone aspire to have something nice, should we just changeover to full communism to ensure that everyone get same Lada??

A lot of people driving bigger cars are using PCP to purchase them or taking out huge loans and wasting money on cars they can barely afford as they’ve been brainwashed in to thinking it’s some kind of status symbol.

Im on my third estate car in a row. It’s comfortable, very spacious, has a substantially bigger boot than most SUV’s and Crossovers & has great fuel economy.

Go into mainland Europe on holidays and see how many families drive them. They’re such a practical car and a serious number of them look really good. I’ve managed to convert a few people over and they all swear by them.

I really dislike the endless conveyor of shite crossovers and this article hits the nail on the head about the problems with them.

How about people get to spend their hard earned money on whatever they want.
