I had a 3 series BMW, it was a HOS.
That's a shame, to date is the best car I've ever had
325i coupe, 1993 E36
No Aircon, no traction control, no sunroof even, just abs that didn't get in the way

Mine was the 2 door saloon, no aircon, no power steering, no sunroof, no ABS and it used 5 litres of oil to go from Brighton to Birmingham and back and that was from new.
A good idea, they use those for insurance purposes as well don't they

They do indeed. A mileage allowance could be allotted according to the vehicles emissions.A good idea, they use those for insurance purposes as well don't they
New JLR vehicles supposedly have a tracker built in, it has been used to confirm the presence of a vehicle at a murder scene. The EU now or are about to require all new vehicles to be fitted with a black box recorder plus an accident reporting and localising system that automatically reports an accident and it's location.

Fairest system is similar to many other countries. The tax on it at the pump is put to what would be 'road tax'. That way more fuel, more tax. Taking the Megane as an example, again, she gets 2-3 times the mpg , than the L322. However, does 7 x the mileage. So, it still works out she pays more tax. No fibbing, or faking on mpg, as you pay for what you use.
However, it is not about fair. It is about the government wanting to control almost every aspect of citizens lives. Down to what car they will allow you to drive, without penalty. How can the 'more equal than others' stand out as 'better', if the Hoi Polloi can be seen to drive anything other than little microcars. Which is what we are being pushed towards.

Me for one.
Mileage is taxed - massively on the fuel that goes into it unless electric.
