EP. 33 | DM PODCAST

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Daily Motor Podcast covers a range of vehicles and experiences. Charlie shares his initial impressions of the 2023 Honda CR-V, specifically the EXL trim, noting its attractive looks and functional interior, though he found the base sound system to be average (C-). A significant drawback mentioned is the lack of a spare tire on the hybrid models and the difficulty in un-reclining the rear seats. The reviewer also recounts a thrilling, albeit unintentional, experience flipping a Honda Talon during an off-road course, highlighting the vehicle's robust build. The podcast also touches upon the Mazda CX-30, praising its comfortable ride, ideal size for city driving, and premium feel, placing it high in its segment. The Chevrolet Bolt EUV is discussed as a surprisingly appealing and functional option, especially for a second vehicle, despite its slow DC fast charging capabilities and polarizing design. The episode also briefly mentions other vehicles and events, including a Honda Civic Si race car experience and a Honda marine-powered boat.
