John Cadogan and Adam Morris debate whether technology is making cars worse. From giant touchscreens and subscription-locked features to in-car advertising and increasingly complex electronics, the pair debatewhether we've already passed "peak car."
Listener Tim asks a question about the risks of buying first-generation vehicles, and John and Adam discuss reliability, development cycles, and why some new models are safer bets than others.
Should buyers treat all Chinese brands the same? Adam and John discuss why established players like GWM deserve to be judged differently to newer arrivals, and how global engineering teams are blurring traditional notions of where cars really come from.
Plus, there's a growing trend of questionable automotive surveys and media reports, creating headlines that say a lot but don't tell the whole story.
