I`d listen to them in order of production
The Cars- A milestone album in the American new-wave scene and imo one of the best debut albums in the history of rock.
Candy O- Similiar to the debut but not quite as good.
Panorama- Their most experimental and darkest release and a kind of homage to some of the groups that influenced them. Some good songs but not a great album
Shake it Up- My personal fav with its final new-wave sound and looking ahead to the Heartbeat City sound.
Heartbeat City- One of the most polished albums ever produced and the group are a world away sound wise from the debut especially with the dominance of synths.
Door to Door- Often regarded as their weakest album but I`d say their were some essential material on here.
I`d also recommend listening to some of Ric Ocasek`s solo discography as well.

The debut was often described as a greatest hits album as every song minus "I`m in Touch With Your World" sounded like a single
