The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier.

Ive recently replaced the engine, but I hope to keep driving my 08 Speed3 for another decade. It’s annoying having everything else in the road so much larger, but I don’t want anything this size.

I enjoy being able to see out my car. 04 impala here. Parents have a 2018 Highlander and it’s a heavy awful low visibility nightmare to drive.

Which pollutes more: a new SUV or a 10-year-old conventional vehicle?
