On this week\'s episode we discuss\\xa0the results of CR\'s new survey which asked drivers nationwide\\xa0what improvements they\\xa0would\\xa0desire on their vehicles. We share our full road test results of the all-new 2021 Kia Seltos. We also answer audience questions about whether or not there is a difference in build quality of a specific vehicle model built in different\\xa0countries, and if drivers are being more reckless\\xa0because there are fewer drivers on the road.
