    💡 Unleash Your Mechanic Skills: Rotary Engines & DIY! 🚗

    James here with another episode of the PowerWorks podcast!

    Glenn and I had a blast chatting about everything cars on the podcast 🚗. We covered everything from winter driving tips to the future of EVs - even debating CVT transmissions vs regular gearboxes! 🤔

    We also helped a listener diagnose some issues with their SUV after the dealer quoted them a crazy repair bill. Pro tip - always get a second opinion!

    💡 Plus, we talked about the new Nissan Sunny and whether it's really as "engaging" as they claim with that CVT. 😅

    Before you hit the road, check out our podcast for reliable car advice and laughs! We'll keep you updated on the latest automotive news, too. Don’t take any YouTube repair tips too seriously...you might break more than you fix! 🙈

    Three key takeaways:
    1. Always communicate repairs clearly with your dealer 🗣
    2. Consider smaller engines and better gearboxes for efficiency 🚗
    3. Reliable cars can still be fun - even with a CVT! 🚙
