| if you really want to be eco friendly and have to have a car the only answer is just about any 2nd hand car, no car is eco friendly, and a brand new car of whatever fuel system , make and model is the worst option possible.
anyone who kids themselves a brand new tesla is eco friendly is frankly an idiot.
But I'd have one in a heart beat  | |

The issue with second hand cars is of course efficiency, older emission standards etc etc, but I get what you are saying. Buying new cars, whilst vital for the economy, isn't really an eco friendly premise. Until we actually make a concerted effort to drop fossil fuels and go renewable, it is a piss in the ocean.
That said, I would argue it is probably the least bad way to go when buying a new vehicle.
