We have bought the smallest car that would satisfy all our needs (a small station wagon), and we use it as necessary.

My commute is outrageous BTW, 50+50km, at highway speed and with airco, that might already be a stretch for the Dacia Spring. I do it mostly by train though.

I would have thought that:

"Reducing car use is better than just replacing them. Cars cover a lot of difficult corner cases, but let's offer good alternatives for the day to day life"

should be a pretty uncontroversial take, and yet I'm here discussing with people that want to use cars everyday, and cover the exceptions with the alternatives.
