Re: Exporting vehicle and Household goods - Any Advice!
That is true, but i wonder if they take into account the energy buliding the car in the first place . and what they don't say ! Also one think i don't understand how can car manufacturer say how eco a car is to the environment untill it has come to the end off its working life ?
They're also not legally required to declare all the environmental impacts associated with the manufacturing process. The consumer makes their decision based on declared measurements like CO2, MPG, JD Power reliability/build quality reports etc etc.

Manufacturers don't, AFAIK, make any claims about whole of life enviro-friendliness. It'd be impossible to do so due to almost infinite variables about how the vehicle is used and maintained.

That's quite right RICH!
BMW says to me class and well built.
OTHERS:
I'm no drug dealer, my o/h no pimp and certainly not fat, nor kids. I'm an average girl with average needs. I'm not high maintenance either, I have short nails, not painted! I cook, I clean, I do gardening, I look after kids, I decorate and quite happy to pull in where I can. That's no poseur!!
That's some peoples' perceptions what a BMW is but that's not how it is with all!!! You're letting your imagination run wild. You're watching too much 'Pimp My Ride' channels.
I like to see vintage cars, not for me but I enjoy to see them on the roads and their owners take pride. We drive average size cars in the U.K but I like big cars, being seated to a high position to oppose to low. It's just a preference.
If you other guys like the average 1.0 L to 2.0 L cars, electric, petrol or diesel, maybe cart & pony then that's fine by me.
Again I'm open to suggestions!! One thing may need a seven seater (hope not too much of a scary thought).

Re: Exporting vehicle and Household goods - Any Advice!
Back on topic (if indeed that is possible). To the OP, the subject of cars/suv's etc is discussed frequently here. Everyone has their own preference and predjudices. Do your research and come to your own conclusions. A Honda Pilot might be considered as a 7 seat SUV.
EDIT: None of us are promoting 1.0L cars. They don't exist in North America.
