New Car = 1 ton of waste to make
We have two cars both from new over 10 yrs old, a landrover defender and an A4 Audi, both now 100,000 miles. In that time we could've changed cars but that would've = 6 tons of waste plus the vehicles. When you think of the CO2 produced from manufacturing, i reckon even with my diesel thirsty defender we polluted less than the motorist who changes his average car every three years.
