Partially Automated Driving Systems and Tesla's New Autopilot Update
This episode of Talking Cars delves into Tesla's updated 'Navigate on Autopilot' feature, specifically its automatic lane change capabi... morelity. The hosts express significant concerns, finding the system unsettling and even dangerous. They recount instances where the car initiated lane changes aggressively, cutting off other vehicles, including law enforcement, and passing on the right in inappropriate situations. The consensus is that this update, rather than reducing stress, increases it, requiring constant vigilance from the driver. While acknowledging Tesla's claims of safety when used properly, the reviewers highlight the system's limitations and the inherent risks of drivers becoming complacent with increasingly capable, yet still imperfect, automation. They contrast this with other systems like Cadillac's Super Cruise, which they find safer due to better driver monitoring, and ponder the broader implications of automation trends and the challenge of keeping drivers engaged. less
2020 Jeep Gladiator First Impressions; RIP Mercedes' Smart Car Brand | Talking Cars #201
The Talking Cars team provides a mixed first impression of the 2020 Jeep Gladiator. While acknowledging its unique appeal as a Jeep pickup with conver... moretible features and a distinct "honest truck" feel, they highlight significant compromises. The Gladiator is described as a "Jeep of all trades, but a master of none," lacking the refinement of a luxury sedan, the full capability of a dedicated off-roader due to its longer wheelbase, and possessing a relatively small bed. Despite these drawbacks, the vehicle's ability to offer modern safety features like blind-spot warning and CarPlay, combined with its potential to hold value, suggests it may appeal to a niche market seeking a lifestyle-oriented truck. The team also touches on the discontinuation of the Smart car brand in the US, the rising cost of windshield replacements due to advanced safety tech, and the lack of standardization in EV charging. less

The 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid LE is introduced as a practical and reliable option, particularly for first-time car buyers, offering the hybrid system... more from the Prius on the familiar Corolla platform. Priced around $23,000, it's praised for its conventional looks, appealing to those who don't want a Prius. However, the review highlights significant drawbacks, primarily its loudness, with excessive road and engine noise even during regular driving and when operating on electric power. The CVT transmission also receives criticism for flaring up unpleasantly under acceleration without a proportional increase in speed. While Toyota's standard safety features are appreciated, the absence of blind-spot monitoring in the standard package is noted. Despite these issues, the Corolla Hybrid is expected to offer Toyota's renowned reliability and good fuel economy, making it a potentially strong value proposition if the noise concerns can be overlooked. less
2019 Hyundai Kona EV First Impressions; Tesla Model Y & Fisker Inc. SUV | Talking Cars #195
The 2019 Hyundai Kona EV is presented as a more mainstream electric crossover option compared to the Tesla Model Y and the unproven Fisker SUV. Review... moreers found the Kona EV to be a normal-feeling car, a significant improvement over the sluggish gas version, with its electric motor providing good acceleration and a lower center of gravity. However, its primary drawback is its front-wheel-drive-only configuration, which, combined with low-rolling-resistance tires, leads to traction issues, especially in slippery conditions. The interior console layout was noted as slightly awkward, and the push-button gear selector was a departure from the simpler knob in the gas model. Despite these points, the reviewer expressed a strong liking for the vehicle, highlighting its accurate range estimates and overall pleasant driving experience, though noting a slight range reduction in cold overnight temperatures. less
2019 BMW 3 Series First Impressions; Making Sense of Tesla's News Cycle | Talking Cars #194
The "Talking Cars" episode delves into the recent volatility surrounding Tesla's announcements, advising consumers to understand the im... moreplications of rapid changes and potential depreciation. The core of the review, however, focuses on the 2019 BMW 3 Series (specifically the 330i xDrive). While acknowledging its return to a more engaging driving experience with improved steering feel and a capable powertrain, the hosts express reservations about the ride quality, deeming it "borderline stiff" and noting that it transmits too many imperfections. They lament a perceived industry-wide shift from prioritizing driving dynamics to focusing on "gee-whiz" electronic features and infotainment, suggesting this might alienate traditional enthusiasts. Despite these critiques, the 330i is recognized for its enjoyable driving dynamics and a well-performing transmission, though its $53,000 price point is considered high for its size. less
2019 Ford Ranger First Impressions; What Happens to Our Cars After Testing | Talking Cars #192
The 2019 Ford Ranger marks a significant return to the midsize pickup segment for Ford, aiming to capture buyers who find full-size trucks excessive. ... moreWhile it boasts a capable "real truck" design, distinct from car-based crossovers, initial impressions reveal a mixed bag. The turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost engine offers ample power, but the powertrain isn't entirely smooth, with some vibrations and occasional transmission quirks noted, possibly due to the low mileage (around 400 miles) and ongoing break-in period. Road noise from door seals is also a concern. The most significant gripe for the reviewers is the stiff, bouncy ride, which is noticeably more pronounced than in competitors like the Toyota Tacoma or Chevrolet Colorado. Despite its truck-like appearance and capability, the Ranger's ride quality and the awkward placement of running boards without grab handles detract from the overall experience. The limited five-foot bed option for the crew cab is also a drawback. While it feels like a miniature F-150 with dull steering and body roll, its place in the market at a $40,000 price point, close to full-size trucks, is questioned. less
Top Car Brands of 2019; How We Choose Our Top Picks | Talking Cars with Consumer Reports #191
Consumer Reports' "Talking Cars" episode #191 delves into their 2019 Top Picks and brand rankings, emphasizing the evolving criteria fo... morer vehicle evaluation. A significant update is the inclusion of automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection as a mandatory standard feature for Top Pick consideration, reflecting a push for advanced safety. The episode highlights the confusion surrounding safety feature nomenclature and packaging, even for industry insiders. Reliability data has also been updated more dynamically, moving beyond a single annual release.

Interior controls, while complex, were deemed manageable and less frustrating than in some other recent BMWs, with excellent Apple CarPlay integration and a helpful, clear heads-up display. A standout feature was the heated armrests. While the X5 delivers a premium experience, the discussion touches on whether BMW is shifting from its 'Ultimate Driving Machine' slogan towards an 'Ultimate Comfort Driving Machine,' a point that may concern long-time enthusiasts. Overall, the X5 is considered a great vehicle that successfully blends luxury, comfort, and performance. less
2019 Jaguar I-PACE; CES Auto Innovations | Talking Cars with Consumer Reports #185
Consumer Reports' "Talking Cars" podcast reviews the 2019 Jaguar I-PACE, a new entrant challenging Tesla's dominance in the electr... moreic vehicle market. The hosts praise the I-PACE for its luxurious interior, stylish design, and engaging driving dynamics, noting its smooth power delivery, responsive handling, and quiet ride. They highlight its competitive EPA-estimated range of 234 miles and a substantial 90 kWh battery. However, the review points out some drawbacks, including a potentially distracting dual-screen infotainment system and a single rotary dial for multiple climate functions, which can be less intuitive than physical buttons. Charging times are noted as long, and the availability of charging infrastructure, especially in winter, is a concern. While acknowledging Jaguar's reliability history as a potential question mark, the I-PACE is considered a strong contender that offers a compelling luxury experience and a viable alternative to Tesla, suggesting that established automakers are indeed posing a significant threat to Tesla's market position. less
2019 Audi A8 First Impressions; The Best EV Charging Network | Talking Cars #181
The 2019 Audi A8 L is presented as an ultra-luxury sedan competing with the BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class, and Lexus LS. Reviewers were highly impres... moresed with its exceptionally quiet and smooth ride, luxurious interior materials, and refined turbocharged V6 engine that mimics V8 power. The high-tech interior, featuring dual haptic feedback touchscreens, is noted as being manageable despite an initial learning curve, and significantly less confusing than the Lexus LS. While praised for its substantial feel and solid build, its handling is described as good rather than amazing, befitting its large size. The A8's styling is considered classy and subtle, avoiding ostentatious displays. The primary drawback highlighted is its high cost, with the tested model nearing $100,000, though it's deemed worth the expense for its quality and refinement.

The slick-shifting six-speed manual transmission also received high marks, even surpassing the Honda Civic Si. While the driving position and clutch pedal placement were minor drawbacks for one reviewer, the Veloster's practicality, including usable rear seats, and its intuitive infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were significant positives. The episode also addresses consumer questions on hybrid battery longevity, tire rotation, and the risks of driving on a low fuel light, concluding that while running on fumes poses minimal mechanical risk, it's ill-advised. less
