Main themes: The Consumer Reports auto experts answer a whole bunch of questions from our Talking Cars viewers. We share buying advice, discuss repair shops, and shed light on the intricacies of CR's rating system—and have some fun along the way.
Audience questions:
- Why does my brand-new car need its battery replaced?
- What caused the Toyota Tacoma's reliability rating to drop?
- Is the Honda Ridgeline the right choice for an avid DIYer with a 50-mile daily commute?
- I'm moving to the snow belt but still want a fun car—what should I get?
... and a whole lot more!
