Jill is back in the studio this week, and opened the show by recapping her Rebelle Rally exploits. Visit the Car Stuff Podcast Facebook page for a link to pics from her trip. Tom shared august electric vehicle sales as reported by S & P Global Mobility. While Tesla still dominates the list, a few new vehicles are doing better than expected. Jill and Tom discussed the coming Ferrari F80 hyper car. Not only is the price breath taking, the car's engine is proving controversial. Still in the first segment, Tom shared his impressions of the Buick Envista small crossover. Is this bargain Buick too good to be true? Listen in. In the second segment, the hosts welcome Alex Knizek of Consumer Reports to the show. Alex walked Jill and Tom through the organization's list of most-reliable used-car brands, and called out several models as especially good used-car picks. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Was it a Cadillac?” quiz, the hosts talk about Tesla slashing Cybertruck prices, and Tom shares a disturbing McDonald's drive-thru story. 

Buying a used car can be the wild, wild west. There are many pitfalls to be aware of, and brands to target because of their reliability. Clark shares Consumer Reports reliability ratings. Also, there's real opportunity around the country for renters to pay less if you're willing to shop. And at renewal time, many landlords are offering rewards for paying rent on time and other gimmicks to retain your lease. But are these rewards worth it?  Buying A Used Car: Segment 1 Ask Clark: Segment 2 Apartment Hunting & Renewal Advice: Segment 3 Ask Clark: Segment 4 Mentioned on the show: Toyota is most reliable used vehicle brand and it isn't even close Which Brands Make the Best Used Cars? - Consumer Reports Report: Top Vehicles Most Likely To Last 250,000 Miles How To Buy a Used Car (Clark.com) / FedNow Service Fidelity Investments Review: Pros & Cons What Is a Good Credit Score? / Credit Score Guide Pay Your Rent, Get 2% Cash Back: Landlords Join Craze for Rewards - WSJ Free rent and free parking: Landlords are throwing in sweeteners Apartment rents hit a post-pandemic milestone — and more landlords are sweetening their deals Clark.com resources Episode transcripts Community.Clark.com Clark.com daily money newsletter Consumer Action Center Free Helpline: 636-492-5275 Learn more about your ad choices: megaphone.fm/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices.

We all have those friends that we call when our heart tells us to buy something, but our wallets and brains have other plans. They act as our voices of reason and our automotive conscience to an extent, and if you're a petrol-head like most of us, then odds are you have a contact list full of these kind of compatriots. One of my goals in life is to drive and experience as many cars as I can before I die and thus far, I'm doing pretty good. Helping me on this journey is our own Hemmings Director of Marketing and Business Development, Rob Einaudi. He's been a close buddy of mine for around 15 years and is a trusted guide when it comes to putting something new in the garage. On this week's episode of the Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ Podcast, we welcome Rob to talk about our past car buying experiences, as well as car buying in general. We then talk used cars, our top buying picks for between $2,500-$5,000, and talk about how, regardless of your budget, that there's always something good on the used car market!

Consumer Reports has just released its list of the best used cars under $5k. Clark talks about which cars you should be leaning towards when looking for an inexpensive use vehicle. There should be a great availability of over the counter hearing aids. But sadly, options are currently limited. Clark talks about how to get the most bang for your buck when purchasing hearing aids in the future. Want more money advice? Sign up for Clark’s free daily newsletter!

Unless you're in the market for a mid-engined supercar, you probably don't ever have to spend more than £10,000 on a used set of wheels. For that sort of budget you can buy hot hatches, luxury cars, super saloons, rare groove coupes and roadsters. Dan and Andrew list their most tempting used buys, highlighting old Bentleys, V12 Jaguars and even one or two half sensible options. We hope you enjoy listening.

This week we give our first impressions of the 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer, and talk about how it compares to the last outgoing model, and why this small SUV might have created a new size category for Chevy. Consumer Reports has teamed up with the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (or IIHS for short) to recommend safe, reliable used cars and SUVs that are well-suited for teenage drivers, and cost $20k or less; our panel explains why this is an important market for buyers today, and which cars they would choose off the list. Also, we help a viewer decide between a new Toyota Venza hybrid and Toyota RAV4 Prime to replace his high-mileage Toyota Highlander, explain why all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles require all four tires to be changed at the same time, and pick a car we think would be perfect for a long trip to Mars.     -----------------------------------   Have a question for our experts?

Julie Blackley, communications manager for the car search engine iSeeCars.com, is a frequent guest on The Weekly Driver Podcast. Blackley writes and distributes monthly studies that analyze automotive data, on topics ranging best used cars to popular car colors to states with the most pick-ups. The wide-ranging categories, according to the website, are aggregations of a massive amount of information tabulated from "proprietary algorithms to objectively analyze, score and rank millions of cars and tens of thousands of dealers, providing helpful insights and guidance to users to find a good car at a good price from a trustworthy seller." Best used cars, best new cars, best enduring cars from iseecars.com. For automotive statistics junkies, the site is a tremendous fix. Blackley was our recent guest in her fourth appearance on The Weekly Driver Podcast. Co-hosts Bruce Aldrich and James Raia discussed with her the results of data from three recent studies: 1. Top 15 Vehicles Owners Keep for 15 Years or Longer; 2. The Most Popular Cars By State (the 10 largest states) ; 3. The Best Used Cars For 2020. Due to technical issues, our interview with Blackley is not available. Instead, Bruce and James revisit the three areas of the most recent iSeeCars.com surveys and recap the knowledge and insight Blackley provided. In separate posts, I have also published each of the surveys and well as a new analysis of the most popular car colors. Links to the posts our archived podcast episodes with Blackley are also provided below. The iSeeCars.com site is a comprehensive platform for all car buyers, and The Weekly Driver Podcast recommends visiting the site for practical information to help determine your next purchase. As Blackley says, "I write and disseminate monthly studies that analyze iSeeCars data on topics that help consumers navigate the difficult car-buying process."

This week we have Farid Kanji joining us to discuss a few new statsitics from iSeeCars. We talk about the top 15 cars that owners are most likely to keep for 15 years or longer and whether or not we feel they are the longest lasting cars one can buy. We also talk about the top 10 best used cars to buy in terms of reliability, safety, and resale value. We also focus on cars that have the best retained value. Finally, we share our thoughts on the new vehicle test drive of the week, the 2020 Hyundai Venue. 

This week, we give our first impressions of the 2020 Palisade, Hyundai's all-new upscale three-row SUV. Summer is road trip season, and we choose the best car in the CR Auto Test fleet for one of our panelists to take on a trip to Montreal. We also answer audience questions about the 2019 Kia Niro's loss in recommendation from CR, and whether or not a teenager should learn to drive on a manual transmission car rather than an automatic.   -----------------------------------   Have a question for our experts?

Chevrolet has revived the Blazer nameplate, and we discuss if it can compete in the saturated 2-row SUV market. Love is in the air this week, and we share stories about the cars that broke our hearts. We also share some highlights from the 2019 Chicago Auto Show, including details on the 2020 Subaru Legacy sedan. We wrap the episode with audience questions about the importance of washing your car's undercarriage, myths about automatic emergency braking, and how we test cargo space.   --------------------------------------------- Have a question for our experts?
