Main theme: We discuss two notable all-new sedans. One we bought, the all-electric Porsche Taycan 4S, and are logging miles ahead of formal testing. The other is the K5, which we rented from Kia. This snazzy-looking midsized sedan replaces the Optima, and we give our first impressions ahead of buying one of our own for the CR test fleet.
Driven this week: 2020 Porsche Taycan and 2021 Kia K5
Audience Questions
- What does it mean to say a car is "fun to drive"?
- I live in Texas and need winter tires only a few weeks out of the year when I go to the mountains. Is it possible to rent winter tires, instead of buying and storing an extra set of wheels and tires for most of the year?
- Do you think we are on the cusp of a large leap in electric vehicle battery capacity? And if so, should I postpone the purchase of an electric car for now?
