Comment on 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.

  100% agree. I’m a handyman and drive an outback. People are usually surprised when I open the hatch and it’s full of my tool boxes.

  Pretty low clearance but maybe we can get some beavers in there.

  I was being snarky originally but you could have a point there.

    You are literally the only reason they should exist. One does not need such a car in suburbs or cities.

      Just require a commercial license/insurance for vehicles that large (and up)

      You’ll have a lot less people who don’t need them

    The older (until 2003 ish) Impreza can hold a whole ass washer/dryer/oven/dishwasher in the back no issue then they made it to round. I remember helping someone move and they had a stupid “truck” but could not get the bed cover off so me and my snoopy looking car moved all the appliances (3 trips) while the “truck” moved boxes and flat furniture.
