Editors Choice? You would have never have guessed it as these guys spent almost the entire podcast searching for minor issues to ***** about. They spend at least 5 min moaning about a single usb port! Simply a terrible excuse for a review.

It's an issue if there are problems with the USB connectors. On our Lincoln MKX the USB port is wonky.
