Main theme: Subaru Crosstrek Plug-in Hybrid

We just bought a Subaru that plugs in. It's a version of the popular Crosstrek subcompact SUV, and it offers 17 miles of all-electric motoring. Our podcast panelists share their thoughts on what it's like to drive and live with—and whether it's a good value.

Then we answer your questions about child safety, recalls, and whether the base model of a luxury car is better than a loaded version of a mainstream car.

As with other "Talking Cars" episodes, this one is available free through Apple Podcasts. (Subscribe to the audio or video.) You'll also find the audio on Spotify (log-in required) and video on YouTube.
