  <description>This week, the Unnamed Automotive Podcast jams out with some subcompact crossovers. The show starts with Sami's review of the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric, a perfectly fine EV that is a bit overshadowed by its market. With the competition offering better value, Sami and Benjamin argue that a used Hyundai Kona Electric is the smart choice for EV shoppers on a tight budget. 
Then the guys turn their focus to the 2026 Honda HR-V. Using Sami's previous experience as background information on his tester, Benjamin starts off thinking the Honda subcompact is pretty solid, but after spending more time with it, he wonders if there's a worse choice in the segment. Thanks for listening!

  <itunes:subtitle>This week's episode is full of discussions of cars that seem good on their own, but struggle to stand out competitively in their segments. Benjamin starts off with a review of 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric, which might be a touch too expensive to recommend. Then Sami chimes in with his thoughts on the 2024 Honda Pilot TrailSport, which looks great and has plenty of equipment, but lacks some much needed refinement. Finally the guys answer a listener question about two seemingly unrelated cars looking to solve the same family transportation need. Thanks for listening!</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>Today's show starts with Benjamin's review of the 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric, an EV that could stand on its own in a vaccuum, but runs up against a few issues when you consider the rest of the EV world. Benjamin wonders if its worth it to spring for a homegrown rival electric vehicle for just a few thousand dollars more. 
Then Sami continues his three-row review extravaganza with his take on the 2024 Honda Pilot TrailSport. Having undergone a thorough redesign last year, is the new Pilot a solid choice in this segment? What are its strengths and weaknesses in one of the most competitive arenas in this industry? Sami reveals his thoughts on these concerns and more!
Then the guys answer a unique listener question, involving two totally different cars, but with similar family-friendly goals. Thanks for listening!
