The clone copy mode of cdrecord is definitely worse for audio CDs than
using cdda2wav -vall cddb=0 -paranoia and writing using cdrecord.
It makes sense to be used for "other" type CDs with complex unknown strucure.

The car player may be dusty or broken (worn out laser).
You may try better quality blank media ;-)
To verify playability, you may call:
cdrecord -minfo
to check the media state
and "readcd -c2scan"
to check the readability.
