Consumer Reports has no financial relationship with advertisers on this site.

Main theme: We share our impressions of the newest compact SUV from Mercedes-Benz, the boxy GLB. Then we answer viewer questions about run-flat tires on BMWs, comfortable cars for Canadian winters, and what to buy when you need to fit three car seats and a bunch of cargo.

Driven this week: 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB

Audience questions:

  • My new BMW X3 comes with run-flat tires. Is there anything I should know before swapping them for regular tires?

  • I want to replace my 2017 Subaru WRX with something a little more comfortable, but I still want a car that’s fun to drive and good in winter weather. What should I get?

  • What should I buy to replace my 2015 Honda Accord? I need to fit three car seats plus cargo.

As with other “Talking Cars” episodes, this one is available free through Apple Podcasts. (Subscribe to the audio or video.) You’ll also find the audio on Spotify (log-in required) and video on YouTube.
