Massive Ford Recalls, Subaru WRX, Best Cars for Teen Drivers

Jill and Tom opened the show with a brief acknowledgment of the podcast’s apparent popularity in Sweden. Amusingly, the show is described on Poddtroppen—a Swedish podcast download site—as a “Komedie.”  Moving on, the hosts discussed yet another—massive—Ford recall. Tom suggests a reason why Ford might be in the trouble its in.  Still in the first segment, the hosts dig into Volvo’s recently announced decision to layoff 15-percent of its U.S. workforce. Next, Jill reviews the 2025 Subaru WRX tS, with manual transmission.  In the second segment Jill and Tom welcome Jennifer Stockburger of Consumer Reports to the show. Jennifer discussed the Consumer Reports recently published Best Cars for Teens lists, and what went into creating them.  In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom’s “Saab!” quiz—which includes a Swedish-themed bonus question. And, as the show wraps up, Jill pledged to try and get passed Apple CarPlay.
