thanks, i do enjoy it even though it brings a bit of shame in the current climate situation. oh well, someone would've bought it anyway, might as well be me who only drives like 200 km per month

I don't think we should be ashamed at all, let's enjoy these cars while we can before we have to transition to EVs.

Corporations emit a thousand million times more pollutants than private citizens, but they love telling us to think green and be eco friendly while they continue burning the planet for profit.

The way I see it, you were going to drive a car anyways, the difference between a 1.6 litter and a 3.0 litter is negligible in comparison to what's emitted in power generation, plastics processing and other polluting industry.
