New cars don't stack up full-stop really. Even if they're more efficient, the rcological thing to do is to keep your old wreck until it expires.

That said, I fancy an Alfa...

Yep. Recycling is always going to be the greenest way to go. Buy a used car and run it till it dies after a long and fulfilling life.

Problem is everything ends up going wrong and costs a bloody fortune to fix. I spent so much money on my Mondeo, I was glad when I traded it in for new car.

no good if they cannot go for more than 3-4 hours!

What bollocks.

The average trip length in the UK for commuting (which is by far the longest average of trip types) is 31 minutes. I do an hour each way, could charge at work anyway, and wouldn't do more.

The vast vast majority of people in the UK could use even a low range car like the Leaf for 99% of all their trips and with the cash saved on petrol and tax afford to rent a ICE car or take a train for the rare long distance journey.

You shouldn't be driving for 4 hours anyway. A Model S has a range of @300 miles and charges to 50% in 20 minutes, the time of a wee and a cup of coffee. People have driven them coast to coast in the US. The Model 3 will have similar or better stats and almost half the price next year. Similar models from the big manufacturers will follow.

You might be in the 0.001% who genuinely couldn't switch to electric and that's cool, but don't pretend you are normal or your outlier preferences effect the validity of the product overall.

Not sure where I said no one else should consider this because it doesn't suit my needs dickhead!

I probably travel about 3000 business miles per month so I simply said its no good for me as it wouldn't last long enough so kindly wind your neck in

In other words you are bitter as you can't afford a decent car or you are in such a low achieving job you don't qualify for a company car.

What a bitter little council boy you are.
