Lotus Emira 2.0 Review; Mark Rober v. Tesla; Electrical Gremlin FOUND

Does the U.S. version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged Lotus Emira really have a better transmission than the one we drove in the UK?

- What will Matt do with his Manx buggy?

- Our best deal on a used car, ever?

- Cayenne hybrids: smart used buy or danger to wallet manifold?

- $25k question: 2007 Cayman or 2022 Subaru BRZ?

- Road trip breakfast of champions

- Which rental cars have the most room?

- Do cheap boats exist?

- What would a banker buy in 2008?

- What's a DIY job that ended up costing you way more than a shop would charge?

- Is Porsche Active Ride worth it?
