Your (hopefully) favorite podcasting duo is back again this week talking all about (what else?) cars! First Benjamin describes his week in the subcompact 2022 Volkjswagen Taos, which is meant to fill a Golf-sized hole in the German automakers lineup. While it looks small, it actually seems to have a ton of space, and features pretty solid fuel economy, but how does it drive? Benjamin bares all (about the Taos, that is.)

Then the pair discuss all the latest automotive news, including sad-inducing info about the next generation Subaru WRX STI and Acura Integra, before Sami gets a taste of his own This-or-That medicine, Benjamin-style. Listen to it all right here, and don't forget to subscribe and contact us!
