We are alike friend, and yes it it’s bad in all cars manufactured after 2012, but that’s ok. EVs have more weight and tire particulate pollution which kills the salmon up here, so I think EVs exist only to save the auto industry, not the planet. Buying new cars kills the planet.
It’s actually cheaper to get an older car with cash and have great mechanics, compared to getting any car loan on a new car. I have a 2000s car that I’ve “totaled” twice, but the damage was minimal, and I came out of the repairs with more cash from insurance than what the repairs cost.
2nd gen Honda CRV, doesn’t have to weak CVT transmission with the dumb belt, great cargo, and good gas mileage. Transmission and engine replacements would be big and are less than $10k. Toyota matrix also great.
