It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Really, how much is new, cheap car?

Citron ami goes for arond 8k in Europe, but I'm sure someone could find cheaper used.

And yeah taxes, fuel, and maintenance are more, but most consumers badly underestimate those costs.

Citron ami

I am 1,95 and would take a cargo bike instead if I had to choose, so I could sit upright, lol.

I’m sure someone could find cheaper used.

Sure but that is not a good argument. Used bikes are cheaper than new ones too.
