The Civic goes hybrid, driving the Nissan Z Nismo and more | Autoblog Podcast #833

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer.

They chat about Formula 1 for a moment before hopping into the reviews section. Zac’s been driving the new 2024 Nissan Z Nismo, and Greg’s been spending a bunch of time in the long-term 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV.
