I was reading a report a couple of years ago before all this plastic thing kicked off and it was saying the most environmental friendly cars are the ones that last 20 or more years. You have to travel about 80000 miles in the average car to equal the amount of energy it takes to make the same vehicle and don't get me started on the environmental impact on electric vehicles in a few years.
Yes - lots of real data to prove this. If we are thinking about the same report it said that throw away cars built in cheap manufacturing areas were the worst at total emissions and that Jeep and Land Rover overall were the least environmentaly damaging because of their “Triggers Broom” facility of being almost infinitely repairable.

But little tax is chargeable on repairing a vehicle - but quite a nice chunk is chargeable on new vehicles.
