EP. 37 | DM PODCAST

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Daily Motor Podcast covers a wide array of vehicles, with a particular focus on the Hyundai Kona N and the BMW X3 M Competition. The hosts express significant enthusiasm for the Kona N, praising its fun-to-drive nature, aggressive tuning, and surprisingly normal daily driving modes, despite its stiff ride and tendency for torque steer. They consider it a strong contender for their best cars of 2022. Conversely, the BMW X3 M Competition left them largely unimpressed, with minimal mileage logged and a feeling that it lacks the engagement of less expensive performance cars. They also discuss the Ford Mustang Mach 1, appreciating its looks and the fun factor but noting its muted inputs and the need to rev the engine high for power. The Acura Integra is reviewed as a more premium Civic Si, with praise for its infotainment but criticism for carrying over the Civic's firm ride and road noise, making it less justifiable at a higher price point. The episode also touches on the dated Infiniti Q60 and briefly mentions upcoming drives in the Hyundai Palisade and Ford Bronco Raptor.
