Main theme: Mike Quincy and I try to find a fun-yet-comfortable vehicle for Jon Linkov and his wife to take on a weeklong road trip to Montreal and back down through Vermont. Which car from CR's test fleet best fits the bill? The fun discussion can inform how you look at car choices.
Driven this week: 2020 Hyundai Palisade
Audience Questions:
- Why did the Kia Niro get a CR recommendation in 2018 but not for 2019?
- Do you think skipping some advanced safety features on my son's car could make him a more attentive driver?
- Which three-row SUV is the best choice: Mazda CX-9, Subaru Ascent, or Toyota Highlander Hybrid?
