EV Channels Review
This episode of Talking Cars features an 'Ask Us Anything' format, addressing a wide range of listener questions. Key automotive topics discussed include the fluctuating reliability ratings of used cars like the Ford Mustang, potential issues with new car batteries, and advice on tire treadwear warranties. The hosts also offer recommendations for family cars, discuss the safety implications of heavily tinted windows, and analyze the pros and cons of 'no-haggle' dealership policies. A significant portion is dedicated to comparing a new Tesla Model 3 against a used Model S, with a recommendation leaning towards the used Model S for its size and features, despite potential reliability concerns. Other segments cover the Subaru WRX for sporty driving, the polarizing new Honda Ridgeline design, the importance of break-in periods, steering wheel design, the utility of head-up displays, and recommendations for a manual hatchback/wagon under $12,000. Finally, the reliability of the Toyota Tacoma is briefly touched upon, noting recent transmission and drive system issues.
