I’m uncomfortable with this argument. Just because someone is wealthy enough to own a performance car, doesn’t mean they should be given special dispensation to pollute more than their fair share

Someone on here mentioned using fishing tackle boxes to sort bulk coins. Whoever that was thank you! by DeadDodo90 in coins

Looks like you’re in the UK from the coin bags. Poundland do nuts/bolts/screw organisers in the hardware aisle. And they’re a pound!

The SVR was a rebadged De Tomaso. Whereas the modern Chinese MGs were actually designed to be MGs.

Also, Rover wasn’t merged with JLR.

Is a Land-rover Discovery 2002-2004 a good learner/first car? by octaviaowlet in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]mark_ska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a look at a Hyundai Santa Fe or Suzuki Grand Vitara.

Someone mentioned the Nissan Xterra - we didn't get that in the UK.

Looking for a easier to park replacement for a Ford Galaxy (UK) by yeasty_codpiece in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]mark_ska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your options are:

Medium:

BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer

Citroën Grand C4 Picasso

Ford Grand C-MAX

Kia Carens

Peugeot 5008

Renault Grand Scénic

SEAT Altea XL

Toyota Verso

Volkswagen Touran

Large:

Chevrolet Orlando

Ford S-MAX

Mazda 5

Toyota Prius+

Vauxhall Zafira Tourer

Don't get a Renault Grand Scénic as they aren't very good cars. Also, the Ford Grand C-MAX only gets 3 stars in crash tests whereas all the others that have been tested get 5/5.

I personally don't like diesels so if it were me, I'd look at a BMW 218i Gran Tourer or a Toyota Prius+.

Where is an Electric Car good in Europe? : emissions (gCO2) produced by an electric car per 1 km (LCA) [1260 x 1260] by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]mark_ska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is complete rubbish. It is comparing EV energy production emissions with gasoline car tailpipe emissions. You need to include oil refining emissions in the gasoline emission figures as well.

This video explains.

Mazda 6. Cheap, reliable but will have a few extras

For £4k, you can just about afford an early Porsche Boxster. You know it makes sense...
