Podcasts about Honda Civic Si

Just as 7-Eleven offers too much good stuff, that's what we have in this week's episode of America on the Road. We've been driving a lot of interesting vehicles lately, and so today we thought we'd bring you not two road tests but four — 2025 Toyota Tundra, 2025 Lincoln Nautilus, 2025 Mazda CX-50, 2025 Hyundai Elantra N Line. It's a fascinating quartet of vehicles each with something special to bring to the table. Our Toyota Tundra test vehicle was a 4x4 SRS CrewMax 5.5 that blends rugged capability with modern features, offering a spacious cabin for five and a 5.5-foot composite bed equipped with a power outlet, LED lighting, and an integrated deck rail system. Powered by a 389-horsepower 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, it features part-time four-wheel drive and off-road-ready suspension. This model is equipped with the optional TRD Rally Package, adding 18-inch TRD alloy wheels, Bilstein shocks, skid plates, Crawl Control, Multi-Terrain Select, and unique TRD interior and exterior styling. Additional accessories like a TRD performance air filter, bed mat, and wheel locks further boost its practicality and rugged appeal. The big question is whether the turbo V6 matches the ability of a V8. And is the pricey TRD Rally Package worth the added price? And how does the new hybrid version of the Mazda CX-50 stack up? It pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with three electric motors, an EV battery, and an electronically controlled CVT to deliver 219 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque, along with standard electric all-wheel drive. It features Mazda's Mi-Drive modes for power and trail driving, hill launch assist, and a 1,500-pound towing capacity. The exterior is sharp with LED headlights, a panoramic moonroof, roof rails, and a power rear liftgate. Inside, the CX-50 Hybrid seats five and offers leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, a power driver's seat with memory, and a wireless phone charger. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rain-sensing wipers, a wiper de-icer, keyless entry, and an electric parking brake round out the vehicle's feature list. Host Jack Nerad took this one to the desert and back, and we'll have his full report. Meanwhile, co-host Chris Teague took the wheel of the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus and the 2025 Hyundai Elantra N Line. He found the Nautilus offers a refined interior with a standard 48-inch panoramic display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Lincoln's new Digital Scent system for a personalized cabin experience. Two powertrain choices are available: a 250-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder and a 310-horsepower hybrid, both paired with standard all-wheel drive. Additional features include available BlueCruise 1.2 hands-free driving technology, premium leather seating, and an optional Revel Ultima 3D audio system. The 2025 Elantra N Line features a sport-tuned chassis, a 201-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter engine, and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for sharper performance than its siblings. It comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, unique N Line exterior styling, a black mesh grille, and a sports interior with leather-trimmed seats and alloy pedals. Technology highlights include a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation, wireless charging, and Hyundai's Bluelink+ connected services. So how does it match up with its most direct competitor, the Honda Civic Si? Chris and Jack will have the answers for you. In the news this week, we have a crisis on our hands, and it's not tariffs; it's uninsured motorists. They are costing each of us who has car insurance billions of dollars each year. We'll tell you what we learned about it a little later in the show. Of course, there is a lot of buzz right now about tariffs in the auto industry. We'll tell you what is real and what is hype and give you thoughts on how you should proceed if you're planning to buy a car this year.

In Podcast #350, Jessica Ray steps in as host for a vacationing John Davis. Her and the MotorWeek crew have a small constellation of vehicles to talk about, starting with two new entries into Cadillac's all-electric IQ portfolio: the OPTIQ, yes, spelled with an ‘IQ' at the end, and the Escalade IQ. Then we'll shift over to the Honda Civic Si, a name known and loved by many enthusiasts, and one that recently benefited from a model-line refresh. We'll wrap up with an all-new ride from their sister company Acura, the 2025 ADX, which makes their utility lineup bigger…by going smaller. But before that we'll focus our energy into a Lighting Round about lightning-fast EV charging tech and answer a double-header viewer question about using up all that recouped charge.

One rite of spring is getting the sports model onto the road for a joyride. Another is the opening of Major League Baseball camps where the crack of bat on ball makes sweet music to so many. This week we were able to combine the two as we road tested the 2025 Honda Civic Si, one of our favorite performance sedans, in and around the Spring Training sites of several Major League Baseball teams near Phoenix.  Of course, as Host Jack Nerad rediscoveed, the Honda Civic Si offers a great deal for enthusiast drivers to like, starting with its 200-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine and — even more to the point — its slick-shifting, rev-matching six-speed manual transmission. Nerad will offer a full report. Across the country, Co-Host Chris Teague and his family tested the mettle of the 2025 Hyundai Tucson compact crossover SUV. While Honda and Toyota have been the dominant players in this segmentfor decades, the recently revised Tucson gives those brands a strong run for their money. Both Teague and Nerad, who also tested the Tucson recently, will offer their views on this impressive player.  Our special guest this week is Sam Fiorani, vice president of global forecasting at Auto Forecast Solutions and a very knowledgeable industry observer.  With the car industry in a state of confusion based on tariff talk, changing regulations and the potential elimination of electric-vehicle subsidies, our interview with Fiorani will help bring what you need to know into sharp focus. In the new this week, we will attempt to answer a big question looming over the industry: will Stellantis get rid of Chrysler or Dodge? The global automaker has a new chairman, and reports are he is eyeing streamlining its operations, and that might put laggard brands into the dustbin of history. We'll have the details. Electric vehicle owners were more satisfied with their vehicles in 2024 than they were in 2023, but J.D. Power reports there are warning signs on the horizon. We'll have our comments on that along with more specifics. Another big question this week is can state DMVs take a page from the DOGE playbook to streamline and modernize their operations? Ending long lines and customer frustration seems like an impossible dream to most of us, but a new report suggests that is possible, and we'll tell you more.  And there is new controversy surrounding the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Tesla. Chris and Jack will have their individual takes on that coming up.  Jack Nerad's newest book Jack is now offering his newest crime novel, Only One Thing Stays the Same, at a pre-publication price of just $4.99.

In Podcast #338, John Davis and the team have a little something for everyone. We'll start with an update from “FYI” reporter Stephanie Hart on her upcoming featuring stories, including one showcasing a company using artificial intelligence to track traffic, respond to incidents and, ultimately, save lives. Writer Alex Kellum leads the discussion on the recently refreshed Honda Civic Si, made even more fun to drive thanks to some updates that go deeper than just bodywork. Then we'll pass the mic to “Over the Edge” reporter Greg Carloss, recounting his First Drive experience with the Volkswagen ID. Buzz, the all-electric people hauler that transports us back to a groovier time.

The discussion this week opens with the 2025 Mini Cooper S, a formerly subcompact car that's grown up a bit, but still has a way to broadcast its cute charm. Benjamin has plenty to say about its design, but there are a few important issues he brings up about its user experience. Does that all get in the way of how it drives? Then Sami chimes in with a review of TWO Honda Civics. First up is the manual-only 2025 Civic Si, which gets a few mild updates this year to ensure no one forgets about this sport-compact staple. Sami has a lot to say about whether the Si is still worth talking about these days, and if it's gone too far from the usual gameplan of being a cheap fun car. Then he discusses the 2025 Civic Hatchback Hybrid, which has plenty of torque along with incredibly low fuel consumption, making it a jack of all trades. But it does carry a steep price tag in some regions, which turns him off entirely.

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast is wrapping up the shortest May ever with a great discussion of a special SUV and a merely average sport compact car. First up Sami drives and reviews the 2024 Land Rover Range Rover LWB SV, a $230,000 SUV with all the cute details and abilities that one would expect out of a product with that pricetag. His criticisms are few, but important, so be sure to listen to the whole discussion. Then Benjamin jumps in to describe his experience in the 2024 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 40th Anniversary, a sport compact car that seems to be from a bygone era, and perhaps left on the vine to rot. Where the GTI gets more power and features, the GLI seems content to compete with just the Honda Civic Si, and mostly on a shoestring budget. What's going on at VW as these kinds of cars stall out in dealerships? Thanks for listening, and be sure to get in touch with us through our website or social media.

Welcome to Episode 26! Imran took a few weeks off for Ramadan, but he's back in studio this week, recapping what he's been driving — from the honkin' Yukon Denali Ultimate to the Mini JCW "1 to 6 Edition" that could probably fit in its trunk. Plus, Nathan spent a day with the just-redesigned, ninth-gen Camry—a.k.a. the "Default Car"—and Nick has the Civic Si this week. Oh, this is probably worth mentioning: the crew also played with a Huracan Sterrato for a couple of days this week. NBD.

00:00 - Intro - Ford Focus SVT - Part 1The Focus SVT, available in the US from 2002-2004 -The Affordable Hot Hatch Hero from Ford01:30 - What is SVT? A quick breakdown of Ford's Special Vehicle Team (or SVT) and some of the notable Ford halo cars they have have developed over the years. 03:30 - What Makes The SVT Focus A Great Driving Enthusiast's Car?SVT made across the board improvements to change the standard Focus into the SVT Focus. They bumped up the horsepower, improved the handling, added larger diameter wheels and low profile tires, increased the braking capacity , upgraded the transmission, performed interior and exterior tweaks that made the car look better while also providing drivers with a more connected experience behind the wheel. In short they made the Focus into a hot hatchback... a car with enough performance to be an outstanding driver's vehicle, combined with the practical nature of a hatchback design. 04:20 - SVT Focus Engine UpgradesA wide range of upgrades bumped the engine horsepower of the standard Zetec 2.0-liter 4-cylinder found in the regular Focus from 130 to 170 horsepower in the SVT Focus 05:50 - SVT Focus Transmission UpgradeSVT swapped out the standard 5-speed manual from the Focus and replaced it with a 6-speed Getrag manual transmission06:10 - SVT Focus Suspension & Handling UpgradesStiffer springs, revalved shocks, stiffer bushings and thicker sway bars were combined with retuned rack & pinion steering to improve handling across the board. 06:58 - SVT Focus Braking UpgradesThe previous disc front/drum rear brake set up from the standard Focus was replaced with 4-wheel disc brakes (ventilated in front/solid discs rear) plus standard ABS for better braking on the SVT Focus.07:25 - SVT Focus Wheel & Tire UpgradeStandard 15-inch wheels from the Focus were upgraded to 17-inch 5-spoke wheels with 215/45 low-profile tires for better traction, braking and handling.09:45 - SVT Focus Interior UpgradesWhite-faced Instruments, including oil temperature & pressure gauges; leather-wrapped steering wheel; aluminum covered pedals; heavily bolstered bucket seats or optional heated Recaro front bucket seats available with the European Appearance Package on 2003 and 2004 models.11:00 - SVT Focus Exterior UpgradesThe exterior got subtle upgrades, including a new bumper with inset fog lamps, a subtle air dam in front and smoked headlights. The revised rear end now had a diffuser look to it, plus a small ducktail spoiler on the hatch and a larger exhaust outlet. Sort of an understated European look. 12:05 - How Does The SVT Focus Compare to Similar Cars From Its Era?Car and Driver Magazine tested the 2002 SVT Focus against the 1.8-liter Turbocharged VW GTI and the Honda Civic Si, and in spite of the VW being the quickest car in the test, Car and Driver said the SVT Focus still came out on top due to superior handling, writing "It is simply in a handling class all by itself." https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a15138029/ford-svt-focus-vs-honda-civic-si-vw-gti-comparison-tests/ Autoweek magazine in a separate review, raved about the 2002 SVT Focus, leading off with this line: "If you test drive just one car this year, make it the Ford SVT Focus."https://www.autoweek.com/news/a2109871/2002-ford-svt-focus-bargain-beauty-hot-hatch-one-best-cars-out-there-any-price/Motorweek's Retro Review of the 2002 SVT Focus featured some excellent race track footage of the SVT Focus, plus they managed to pull off the quickest acceleration times...

When it comes to feelings, you know at least one of us has some or, okay, all of them. But when Ian and Dave are given keys to BOTH the new Honda Civic Si and the Acura Integra A-Spec BOTH OF US FEEL THINGS, and wow, we have to bring in some outside resources to help us deal. Enter Victoria Scott.

Host Tom Appel and co-hosts Jill Ciminillo and Damon Bell start off the show by discussing three recent test vehicles they've driven: the BMW M3 Competition, Kia Sportage Hybrid, and Infiniti QX60. Brendan Dougherty, Director of Modern Retail at the automotive retail technology company CDK Global, joins us to share some interesting insights about Generation Z car buyers. Tom has a quiz on Chevrolet for Damon and Jill, and Damon runs down the latest articles on the Consumer Guide Daily Drive blog, including a test-drive review of the 2022 Honda Civic Si sport-compact sedan.   

This week, Jason drives Derek's Lamborghini Miura- which, as it turns out, is a vehicle that most commonly enjoys flirting with its own death by fire, inclement weather, or just modern day traffic. Jason and Derek discuss the car's other difficulties, including but not the mystery of non-standardized interior button labels, glowworms for headlights, and windshield wipers which prefer to eject versus function. Conclusion- if anything happens to your Miura, make sure the whole thing burns to the ground- the subsequent restoration won't be worth the trouble or finished in your children's lifetime. The main focus of this episode, however, is Derek's recent trip to Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, a journey not traveled without some difficult weather, 3 AM traffic jams, and many flavors of Porsche 911 Turbo eating up the elevation. Despite some unique challenges in Derek's adventure, he luckily did not get struck by lightning. This eventually leads to an extended discussion on Mobil 1 oil and some discoveries Derek made while talking to an oil engineer atop Pike's Peak. Jason and Derek explore differences in oil weight, detergents, anti-foaming agents, modifiers, and more magic that lubricates our engines. Oil change intervals and oil analysis also come into play- sometimes a scary Blackstone result isn't as worrisome as you might be led to believe. Jason also revisits his findings on the new Acura Integra and Honda Civic SI, and uncovers why ultimately there is more to the $7,000 price gap than initially meets the eye. Jason and Derek also discuss a recent spin in an original DC2 Acura Integra Type R, a car whose mass alone dictates how much the Integra nameplate has changed in 25 years. All this and more, brought to you by the Hagerty Podcast Network.

Acura has resurrected the Integra nameplate, as the classic five-door hatchback returns with an upscale vibe. We share our first impressions on the 2023 Acura Integra, discuss how it performed around our test track, if the interior lives up to the Acura's quality standards, and what sets it apart from the very similar Honda Civic Si. We also debate whether the Integra should be treated as a first year model, or whether it is okay to purchase because many of its components are carried over from the previously released Civic Si.     ----------------------------------- Have a question for our experts?

The 2022 Honda Civic SI joins the rest of the Civic lineup with its transition to the eleventh-generation platform. This new Civic sees a substantial upgrade in the interior and a distinctly different design direction. While the previous generation of Honda's beloved Civic might have been excessive to some, the latest Civic takes a more mature approach. The 2022 Civic Si adds some spice with sportier styling. Most importantly, the 2022 Honda Civic Si drops five horsepower compared to the outgoing model, which means its 1.5-liter turbocharged I4 sends 200 hp through the six-speed manual. That power drop doesn't mean this Civic is any less fun. In this episode of Quick Spin, Executive editor Tom Murphy slides behind the wheel of the 2022 Honda Civic SI and takes you along for the ride. Murphy walks you around this hopped-up Civic while talking about the vehicle's styling, market position and features. Murphy also takes you along for a live drive review. Expanding on his thoughts, Murphy talks with host Wesley Wren about the '22 Civic Si. The pair give the Civic some context, and talk about its performance and its position in the marketplace. Closing the show, the two explain what makes this Civic SI special. #honda #hondacivic #carreview #carpodcast

The Kia EV6 not only is likely to change the way the American public thinks about the Kia brand, but it also has the chance to change the entire automotive market. We are among the first U.S. Journalists to drive the EV6, and we can attest to the fact that it will address many of the issues the typical buyer has with buying a battery-electric. Our review of the vehicle by Host Jack Nerad will detail what drivers can expect from the new car. In the news segment, Tesla Motors is into hot water again for what its self-driving beta software will do and won't do. We'll have all the details. Also in the news, a new study from J.D. Power finds that first-time electric-vehicle buyers are enjoying the new experience even more than veteran EV owners. And we'll tell you why. The used car market is hotter than a summer resort on planet Mercury right now, and General Motors is taking an interesting step to capitalize on that. Our special guest is Dan Ahearn, Senior Manager of CarBravo, a new General Motors effort to give consumers a completely new way to buy a used car, including non-GM used cars. And we'll get the details from Dan Ahearn on what this means to you. In the road test segment, Co-Host Chris Teague will give us all an incisive look at the hot new 2022 Honda Civic Si. Does it deserve its North American Car of the Year title?

This week our hosts go fast and the furious. 2022-style, with a pair of sporty compact cars. First Sami talks about the 2022 Honda Civic Si, a sedan that's grown up over the past few generations. Benjamin wonders why Honda won't give the Si more than 200 horsepower from the factory, and Sami asks if the Civic is still true to its sport-compact roots. Benjamin then jumps to the 2022 Hyundai Veloster N, which is now the only model in the Veloster lineup. This quirky three door hatchback has impressed him in the past, but does it still feel good with the new dual-clutch transmission? Sami wonders if the niche Veloster is on the way out, or if quirky vehicles like the Veloster need to be alive in order to secure any charm in the market. Finally Benjamin talks about the recent sky-high auction prices of the classic Jeep Grand Wagoneer, and how that impacts his ownership experience. Listen to it all right here, and don't forget to check in with our hosts on social media or email.

We say goodbye to the excellent Cadillac CT4 V Blackwing and the decent VW Taos. New in the garage this week are the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Civic Si, and Ford Maverick hybrid.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/daily-motor-podcast/donations

It has been 16 years since Toyota introduced an all-new Tundra full-size pickup truck. But now the company has pulled the wraps off the completely revamped 2022 Toyota Tundra, and we have the inside story. This week our special guest is Kenneth Munkelt, Senior Product Education Planner at Toyota North America. Host Jack Nerad recently had a chance to sit down with him at the truck's introductory drive event outside San Antonio, and the chat was revealing. Toyota has changed the powertrain, the frame, the suspension, and the infotainment system for 2022, so this is about as complete a makeover as you can imagine. In this week's road test segment, Co-Host Chris Teague will be giving of his thoughts on the 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer crossover SUV. He was driving the off-road-oriented Activ version of the truck, and he'll tell us how it stacks up against others in the burgeoning segment. Also in the road test segment, Host Jack Nerad had the opportunity to drive one of the hottest vehicles you can get for under $30,000 – the 2022 Honda Civic Si. It's one of the contenders for North American Car of the Year, and he'll tell how it compares to others like it. And he predicts its chances of winning the coveted North American Car of the Year honor. There's also some startling news on the telematics front this week. It has been widely under-reported, but the coming demise of a telecom technology could mean the connected-car services in your vehicle will suddenly stop working. We'll give you the surprising details and let you know what some automakers plan to do about it. That news is surprising, too. In another hot news item, the smart money is now betting we will see self-driving trucks long before we see autonomous cars. And we'll have more on that in this episode of America on the Road.

Plus, we help someone decide if a Ford Maverick is right for them

This week we check out some of the hot performance vehicle debuts like the corner-carving Porsche Cayman GT4 RS, polarizing Honda Civic SI, and sweet-sounding Corvette Z06. Then, we talk about the new Batmobile from The Batman. How does it stack up against the Dark Knight's previous rides?

Beneath its understated exterior, the all-new Civic Si's upgrades are aimed at making it more fun to drive, rather than outright speed.

It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   8 MIN READ - ONCE 'GREEN' PLUG-IN HYBRID CARS SUDDENLY LOOK LIKE DINOSAURS IN EUROPE "Remember when plug-in hybrid cars were the go-to technology for the climate-conscious driver? Turns out, they’re not good for the environment, according to some experts, and they could be phased out by carmakers in the face of tougher European rules." reports Reuters: "Draft green finance regulations would ban manufacturers from labelling them as “sustainable investments” beyond 2025, potentially deterring investors. Meanwhile planned rules on emissions of pollutants like nitrogen oxides could increase the cost of producing these cars"   https://www.reuters.com/article/us-autos-europe-regulations-insight/once-green-plug-in-hybrid-cars-suddenly-look-like-dinosaurs-in-europe-idUSKBN2BZ0C2   VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 BEATS EPA RANGE ESTIMATE BY 15% "In its most recent test, it put a Volkswagen ID.4 First Edition through its paces. When the smoke cleared and the dust settled, the car managed to travel 287 miles — about 15% more than the EPA’s 250 mile range estimate. Keep in mind that the Edmunds test leaves approximately 10 miles of range available at the end, since no one in their right mind would drive an electric car until it stopped running completely." says Clean TEchnica and yet my buddy Kyle Conner from Out Of Spec Motoring reguarly does exactly that: "our ID.4 used about 18% less energy than the EPA projected. This also means our ID.4 was slightly more efficient than the Tesla Model Y Performance, which recorded 29.6 kWh/100 miles in our testing versus its EPA estimate of 30 kWh/100 miles. That makes more sense considering the level of performance we’ve experienced in the Model Y, which most often comes with a trade-off in efficiency,” Edmunds reports."   https://cleantechnica.com/2021/04/09/volkswagen-id-4-beats-epa-range-estimate-by-15-in-edmonds-test/   SPANISH PLAN FOR EV INCENTIVES "The Spanish government has approved a plan to spend up to 800 million euros ($950 million) until 2023 to encourage electric car sales, the Energy Ministry said on Friday." according to a Reuters report: "Private buyers would be entitled to subsidies of up to 7,000 euros per car, while authorities in small towns and companies buying fleets to use as taxis could get more. Buyers of electric vans would get up to 9,000."   https://www.reuters.com/article/us-spain-electric-subsidy-idUSKBN2BW25Y   HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 CHARGING From Reddit: "just found this video, can't read anything except 219 kW charging speed at 51% SOC which is insane :) (191 kW at 37%, 185 kW at 36%)"   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrPOJnyxs-0   FORD MUSTANG MACH-E GOES TO SLEEP "Early models of the all-electric 2021 Mustang Mach-E have a battery issue that may leave owners struggling to start their vehicles despite its being fully charged, according to a technical service bulletin that Ford sent to federal regulators." reports Detroit Free Press: "When this happens, Mach-E customers get notified by their FordPass app that the Mach-E is in "deep sleep" mode, TheVerge noted. The March 25 technical service bulletin filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration describes the situation in more technical terms: "12-Volt Battery Becomes Discharged While The Vehicle Is Plugged In During The High Voltage Charging Process." The issue affects vehicles built on or before Feb. 3, Ford said. While the company has touted the potential for over-the-air updates, this fix requires a dealer visit"   https://eu.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2021/04/09/mustang-mach-e-2021-battery-problem/7153778002/   XPENG TO BUILD FACTORY IN WUHAN "Chinese electric vehicle (EV) start-up Xpeng Motors, which counts Alibaba Group Holding and Xiaomi among its backers, is building a factory less than a year after its first assembly facility went online." says the South China Morning Post; "The New York Stock Exchange-listed carmaker will build a 7.89 million sq ft factory in Wuhan, it said on Thursday. The facility will have the capacity to assemble 100,000 EVs a year."   The big Chinese EV makers like NIO, Li Auto, WM Motor - they are the ones with the EX5 and the EX6 6-seater - all viewed as a potential rivals to Tesla.   https://www.scmp.com/business/china-business/article/3128812/chinese-ev-start-xpeng-build-factory-wuhan-less-year-after   HYUNDAI KONA ELECTRIC NOW OFFERS THE LONGEST RANGE OF ANY PLUG-IN CAR GRANT-ELIGIBLE VEHICLE "Hyundai Motor UK has reduced prices of its electric car range following changes to the government’s Plug-In Car Grant KONA Electric 64KWh now has the longest electric range – at 300 miles (WLTP) – of any Plug-In Car Grant-eligible vehicle"   Tesla Increases Model 3 & Y Prices...Again "Tesla Has Increased The Price Of Model 3 And Model Y Again In The Us – The Automaker’s Fourth price change in as many months this year. The price changes also come with a slight interior update." reports electrek: "It also comes as the US government is discussing reforming its EV incentive programs, which are likely going to affect Tesla prices. It’s something to keep an eye on since Tesla did decrease its prices when the EV incentive was taken away after it reached the threshold."   Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus: price went from $37,990 to $38,490 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD: price went from $46,990 to $47,490 Tesla Model 3 Performance: price went from $55,990. to $56,990 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD: price went from $49,990 to $50,490 Tesla Model Y Performance: price went from $60,990 and stayed the same   https://electrek.co/2021/04/09/tesla-updates-model-3-interior-increases-prices-again/   93 MILES TESLA MODEL 3  "Tesla looks to take advantage of incentives for buyers of less expensive electric vehicles by offering a lower range Tesla Model 3, available in Canada.In 2019, Canada offered a $5,000 incentive for the purchase of an electric vehicle priced at $45,000 or less. The majority of the most popular-selling EVs in the country fell into the category of the incentive.   Tesla was excluded from the incentive because its Model 3 didn't land at or below the price requirement, which was $53,700." says Yahoo! Finance. Tesla never expected anyone to buy the bad Model 3, nor did it want to even sell the car in the first place. Until this week, you’ve never been able to configure the car on Tesla’s site. If you wanted the bad Model 3 for whatever reason, you had to order it in person or over the phone. That’s now changed, and that checkbox lets you build a 93-mile Model 3 if that’s something you’re interested in. Hell, Tesla’s apparently sold a few of them over the years, according to Electrek. The range on this version is software-locked (by limiting the battery capacity available for use), and you can’t pay to bring it up to 262 miles after the fact."   And electrek notes": This checkbox was not present on the Model 3 configurator until recently, according to Electrek. It indicates that perhaps Tesla is being forced to acknowledge the existence of this model on its website when it hasn’t for the past two years."   https://finance.yahoo.com/news/less-expensive-tesla-model-3-200848321.html   TESLA OFFERS ELECTRICITY TARIFFS TO POWERWALL OWNERS IN GERMANY "Tesla has started offering its own electricity tariffs to some Powerwall owners in Germany. Together with the construction of a car factory, the company is preparing for a large-scale entry into the German electricity market with its hardware and software." says Tesmanian: "Green energy supplier Octopus Energy Germany recently began offering Tesla an electricity tariff. According to the website, it costs €78.95 per month with annual electricity consumption of 3,500 kilowatt-hours. This represents a savings of up to €66.48 per year over the regular Octopus Energy tariff."   https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/tesla-offers-electricity-rates-to-powerwall-owners-in-germany       QUESTION OF THE WEEK ANSWERS   JAN AT EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM For my daily drive, I would have loved to have a new fresh version of the Volvo V60 to be electric. It is the perfect sized car for us. And of course, I need a towbar and the possibility to use a roof box on the car. But we also need to dream from time to time, and then I will take it all the way out and go for the Ferrari F8 Spider.   RAJEEV NARAYAN At the risk of sounding unoriginal, my vote would have to go to the upcoming Tesla Roadster. It promises to raise the bar in terms of EV performance, range and design. I cannot wait to see one in the wild.   JON MANCHAK My first thought was the Honda Civic. It’s a iconic car that is also close to my heart. The first car I bought was a 1999 Honda Civic Si. But, the more I thought about it I think we are asking the wrong question. We need new cars that take advantage of the flexibility of a EV platform. Much like packing engines into horse carriages made sense in the eyes of people before the automobile. We need flexibility in our vehicles that cater to our high density urban cities, suburbia and rural communities   ZAC MOSELEY FROM Classic Car Club Manhattan Mclaren. They’re on their way with the Artura hybrid, but it would be great to see them make a full EV. Beyond that it would be great to see them make a full ev 2+2 coupe, although that’s not likely on their radar! The first time I drove a 12C I thought, “man, if only these guys would make something to compete with an M3”. They’ve brought chassis engineering and suspension to a different level where cars can corner totally flat, but remain totally compliant to cope with the undulations of real world roads. Apply that, with their lightweight chassis to a coupe and make it all electric and you might just have the perfect car. Maybe make it an estate to really tick all the boxes!   LEIF VW ID.3, and because I live in the U.S., VW will only sell me the useless (for my purposes), bloated, expensive ID.4.  I have zero interest in Yet Another Damn $50k Crossover, okay? The other would be the Tesla Junior (or Model Two or Model T or whatever), the

The following words were used in the making of this podcast: flush, hella, bags, tuckin', stretch, HDMI, and static.  The only car we could possibly be talking about is the Honda Civic Si.  And yes, it would look good slammed.Next week's car is one that many love to hate.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/unqualifiedcars)

The Nissan Rogue has always done big business, but much of that was based on price and incentives. Sami's drive of the 2021 redesign reveals that Nissan's new investment in the Rogue elevates it to a new level among other compact SUVs and gives you reasons to buy it other than simply getting a great deal. Benjamin spends a week with the 2020 Honda Civic Si Coupe, a sporty compact that's among the last of its breed - and a car that is discontinued at the end of this year. How does the Si stack up against the dwindling crop of two-door offerings at the $25,000 mark?

With winter on its way, many people are asking: what are the benefits of winter tires vs. a set of all-seasons? The popularity of online, no-haggle car services like Carvana, CarMax, and CarSense has grown in recent months, but can you really get a good deal without visiting a car dealership and negotiating on price? We discuss using these services to buy a new or used car, as well as the high cost of replacement key fobs; the benefits of using premium fuel over regular in cars like the Volkswagen GTI and Mazda CX-9; the emergence of sometimes confusing electronic shifters from carmakers like BMW, Volvo, and Genesis; how CR awards points for standard advanced safety features, and if a Mazda6 is a good replacement for a dad who is losing his Acura TL to his teenage drivers.     -----------------------------------   Have a question for our experts?

This week we answer questions from our audience about used cars and SUVs, and give first impressions of our newly purchased 2017 Honda Civic Si.

New truck news takes over this episode of Talking Cars. Ford updates the truck-based Expedition; we discuss how the extended-length EL version compares to the Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL. The Ford's high point: its new EcoBoost 3.5-liter V6. Next, we sample GM's new compact truck, the GMC Canyon and its twin Chevrolet Colorado. We're impressed overall, but buyers expecting the driving experience of a car-based crossover SUV in this truck might be disappointed. (Like Tom is.) Plenty of viewers asked questions about our reliability data. One protests factoring infotainment systems into vehicle reliability, while another asks about improving reliability in a car's later model years. We answer a question about the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ vs. the Honda Civic Si. Funny how that question helps us answer another viewer's query about a reliable coupe for under $20,000. The gang struggles - only for a bit - to choose between the Honda Accord V6 and the Acura TLX. Finally, we tease next week's episode, featuring the Dodge Challenger.
