Talking Cars 266: Best Used Cars for Teens, and Driving the 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer
Plus, we explain why all four tires on AWD vehicles should be replaced when one goes flat
Main theme: We discuss the first-ever team effort between Consumer Reports and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety to come up with a list of recommended safe, reliable, and affordable used vehicles for teenage drivers. We talk about which cars on the list were some of our favorites, as well as what we drove during our teenage years.
Driven this week: 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer
