Main theme: In this episode, we reminisce about the cars that made our hearts flutter, and those that just made us shudder. We also discuss the challenges we faced when trying to buy cars for our test program and give some advice for those looking to buy a new car. We also look ahead to some vehicles we hope to buy and test in the new year.
