This am on Radio 4 was a person speaking about banning SUV's on the grounds of their size, emmisions and just too big. and wanting us to all use small cars. If this is being considerd by HM Government then we should start shouting now.
I did a little research: As most of you would know the Ecosport uses the same floor pan as the 7th Generation Fiesta to within a few millimetres it is the same size as a Fiesta albiet a bit taller. Using the figures for a Fiesta and Ecosport with 17 inch wheels the emissions are virtually identical.
So, if like me accessing a small car is very difficult, a SMALL SUV fits the bill.
Perhaps attention could be paid to the press on this matter and if it looks as if it is a 'runner' write to your MP otherwise we will all be forced into small cars.
Remember some of the people shouting would consider some small cars as large. Not all of us can manage a bicycle and like us have NO buses closer than 5 miles away. Two years ago, I had to get a Taxi from the bus stop to home and it was £13.
