Here’s what I use to keep my test cars clean while recording (with affiliate links):

Add $3500 for a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 and you’ve got a classy, quick, and quite luxurious mid-sized sedan for a totally reasonable price. Of course, you can keep going on the options list and get massaging seats, among many other gadgets to make this a truly serene space. The cabin isolates the outside world remarkably well and the suspension tune balances the bumps and body roll perfectly. This is a fantastic car. Heck, it’s a car!

In this video, I take you through the car, show you what features are offered and how they work. And then I take you on a drive to get a sense of how well it handles, the quality of the ride, and the overall experience.
