Exclusive CR discount for Talking Cars viewers at: https://www.cr.org/jointalkingcars
Chevrolet has expanded its EV lineup with the addition of the 2024 Equinox EV. In this episode, we share our first impressions of the small electric SUV, covering its driving dynamics, power capabilities, key features, and how it stacks up against the Blazer EV and the gas-powered Equinox. We also address audience questions, including whether it's normal to need frequent brake service and why car manufacturers aren’t making electric vehicles with upgradable and replaceable batteries.

The idea of a Sports Car was originally a 2 seat convertible with a manual transmission. It seems there are fewer of those every year, but these two soldier on and still exist. We took the latest version of the MX5 and the Z4, both with manual transmissions, to a favorite road to discuss what's great about these, any remaining competition, and if the manual still needs to be saved.

Scammers create fake profiles on social media. They claim they’re military servicemembers to get your trust, but what they want is your money. But if that love interest says they can’t meet you in person, asks you for money, or you find their picture in several profiles – you know it’s a scammer. Don’t send money. Instead, cut off contact. Tell the social media platform, dating website, or app right away. Then tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
