But if you've ever spent much time biking along behind a diesel bus, you'll realize that however emission-friendly mass transit may be in the aggregate, the individual busses are pretty darn dirty.
One good thing about a number of European cities, though, is that in the more densely-populated parts, the busses are often electric.

Sorry - bollocks - you don't need AWD to be safe. Most cars don't have it and manage fine. Vekke lives in Finland which is Icey cold last time I looked and his Vario (FWD hatch) seems fine.

Finland, however, is pretty darned flat. AWD/4WD really helps in the mountains - or in places like Yorkshire, where most of the roads seem to have been engineered by sheep :-)
