Top 10 Cars for Your Buck (New and Used)

What's the best bang for your buck right now, new or used? We've got ten cars you can buy that are a great value for the most fun and performance. 5 used cars, 5 new cars. Spoiler alert: the answer is not Miata. We'll explain why.

Plus, Matt talks about the all new Porsche Panamera's crazy dancing suspension and what it means for speed; we also discuss that Cyber Truck's steering/brake failure; the least-green cars of the year (one is an EV!); the flaws of "self-driving" companies; and what's wrong with the Mercedes SL43 AMG we have in the driveway.

Q&A questions include:

  • Is a Chevy Volt a good highway commuter
  • What to get after owning a Skyline R32 GT-R
  • To buy a used or new Elantra N?
  • What we think of slant nose Porsches
  • Morgan Super 3 vs Caterham
