The challenge facing Subaru & why some cars have a certain 'feel'

Got any questions? Ask away! [email protected]

John and Adam unpack why the Volvo S60/V60 Polestar feels nothing like the Ford Mondeo underneath it, then get into the physics of why black cars aren't really hotter, why European cars cook in the Australian heat, and how the Ioniq 5 N stacks up against the EV6 GT.

They also cover Chery's diesel plug-in hybrid ute that's leaving Toyota behind, GWM Cannon value against the Hilux and Ranger, and Subaru's problem with 'designed-by-committee' models.
