#250 Keep Gasoline In Your Tank From Going Stale; 2020 Volkswagen Passat Test Results

Talking Cars (Video) - Un pódcast de Consumer Reports - Miercoles

Categorías:

This week we discuss our test results of the 2020 Volkswagen Passat, and how it stacks up against its competitors in the midsized segment. We share tips on how to keep your car’s fuel fresh while it is (likely) being driven fewer miles during the coronavirus pandemic. We also discuss if a plug-in hybrid version of the Jeep Gladiator is on the horizon, how effective a load leg is on a child seat, and whether the tachometer is still necessary in modern vehicles.     ----------------------------------- Have a question for our experts?
