Consumer Reports' 'Talking Cars' episode #9 highlights four recently tested vehicles, with the Chevrolet Impala emerging as a standout, earning the title of top-rated sedan. The hosts express surprise at its significant improvement, praising its refined ride, quiet cabin, spaciousness, user-friendly controls, and impressive performance metrics, including excellent braking and cornering. The Ram 1500 pickup is also lauded for its luxury-like ride, refined interior, and user-friendly Uconnect system, with anticipation for the upcoming diesel variant. The Kia Forte and Hyundai Santa Fe are recognized for their mature feel and advanced technology, with the Santa Fe being named the top-scoring midsize SUV, surpassing the Toyota Highlander. The Chevrolet Spark EV is noted for its surprising transformation from a basic runabout to a sporty, quick, and quiet electric vehicle, though its limited availability is a drawback. The discussion also touches on the diminishing presence of manual transmissions in new car testing and consumer preference.
