  <description>When luxury car makers like Audi ask you how much performance you want, the options are Mild, Medium or Spicy. This episode Benjamin dives into the Medium flavour in the form of the 2022 Audi S3, and decides whether this middle ground is balanced or compromised, and how BMW and Mercedes-Benz fit into in the strange entry-level landscape.
Then Sami describes how the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee gets the 4xe treatment, having tested it out in Austin, Texas. Listen to him explain how the heavy battery pack impacts performance, whether it can still off-road, how much this electrified version of the vehicle costs, and if it's worth the extra cost. 
Finally, Ben and Sami go nuts over the new Batmobile after watching The Batman, before closing out this weeks episode. Be sure to listen, subscribe and send us your feedback and questions so we can answer them all in the next episode.
