Yes. Mid 40s UK. I have never owned an automatic vehicle, and it looks like there's not much in the way options when it comes to electric cars with manual transmissions.

Since the original PlayStation in the 90s, I have never owned a Sony product that didn't disappoint, or just outright fail.
My wife had a Sony video camera. It broke in a little under 2 years. My Sony car CD player just one day decided to refuse to eject a CD. A place I worked at had Sony Viao laptops as standard, and were forever replacing PSUs and screens. I looked at buying a Sony smart TV, but looked at their forums first, and decided the firmware/software was so full of bugs which were never going to be fixed, that I'd be better off with a CRT display and a VHS machine than whatever they were selling. My brother had a Sony digital camera, which one day, decided it just didn't want to power on.
I wouldn't buy anything Sony if I expected it to last longer than a month.

I think we need to address this not just at individuals or corporations, but at nation states in which those individuals reside and are licensed.
We need to kick them in the wallet. Allowing rampant pollution? Extra trade tariffs, and exclusion from various international groups/events. Complicit in rampant pollution? Punitive economic Sanctions, and loss of access to certain technologies, financial networks, etc.
