Talking Cars 324: Driving the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross
We also discuss what to look out for when considering a used car that might have flood damage
Main theme: We recorded this week’s podcast following the damage caused by Hurricane Ida so we discussed the potential for a flood-damaged used car to be sold to an unsuspecting buyer.
Driven this week: 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross
Audience Questions
- I’m a big fan of the Mazda3—especially one with a manual transmission. What are the differences between the regular and turbo model; front vs. all-wheel drive; and will my mountain bike fit in the cargo area?
- Is it common for drivers at night to mistakenly think their headlights are on when, in fact, super-bright LED daytime running lights might be fooling them?
- How challenging is it for a tall person—as in 6 feet, 8 inches—to fit in some of the more popular EVs, such as the Ford Mach-E, Tesla Model Y, and Volkswagen ID.4?
- How does CR decide which models to test; how long do you keep these vehicles; and what do you do with them when you are done?
