#257 2020 Nissan Versa Test Results; How Ride Height Affects Crash Safety
Talking Cars (MP3)About this episode
This week we discuss our test results of the 2020 Nissan Versa subcompact sedan. We also share feedback from our audience about preferences for in-car navigation: do more drivers like built-in nav systems, or mobile phone apps for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, like Waze and Google Maps? And we discuss whether a vehicle's ride height can affect passenger safety, reliability differences between the Kia Telluride and Toyota Highlander, and do older airbags have an expiration date. ----------------------------------- Have a question for our experts?
