crossovers
MSRP: $32,395 - $37,200 | MPG: 22 Hwy, 18 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
Despite trying circumstances during my test drive, the 2010 Volvo XC60 — a mom’s best friend in vehicle form — endured and never failed our family. Like any BFF, however, this small crossover has a few personality traits I don’t like but would be willing to overlook due to the near-perfection of the overall package.
2009 Mercedes-Benz R320 BlueTec - 7/13/09
MSRP: $47,650 - $49,150 | MPG: 19 Hwy, 18 CityDetails: 6 Seats, 3 Rows, 4 Latch Connectors
This car is close to becoming the ultimate luxury mom-mobile, and it’s glamorously green with its new diesel technology, too. This crossover is so luxurious and comfortable that calling it a station wagon is just plain insulting.
MSRP: $37,200 - $37,200 | MPG: 23 Hwy, 18 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The Q5 broke my heart and left me crying on the side of the road. Not through any fault of its own, only because the people at Audi are mean and they wouldn’t let me keep it.
MSRP: $21,500 - $27,810 | MPG: 26 Hwy, 22 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
What pushes the 2009 Toyota RAV4 into chick-car territory is the fact that the SUV can be described as “cute” or “small.” Instantly, all masculine street cred is kicked to the adorable pink curb of chick-cardom.
2009 Chevrolet Traverse - 4/20/09
MSRP: $29,215 - $41,975 | MPG: 23 Hwy, 17 CityDetails: 7 Seats, 3 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
Just when you thought Detroit was being overrun by men in pinstriped suits, along comes Sue Wilson, the vehicle line director for the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse. A modern mom of four, Sue knows what we want in a car, and she’s delivered (mostly).
2009 Subaru Tribeca Limited - 3/19/09
MSRP: $29,995 - $33,595 | MPG: 21 Hwy, 16 CityDetails: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
With a price tag on my test car of $36,081, the Tribeca left me feeling like I should get more for the money. This made me wonder why I should consider the Tribeca over its family-mobile competitors.
MSRP: $25,975 - $29,250 | MPG: 25 Hwy, 21 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The Toyota Venza was quiet, powerful, well-planned and didn’t scream mommy-mobile; it just might be my next new car—if I ever buy another car, that is. I fell in love with the Venza. I’d be lying if I said that, when the time came to let it go, I did so with a dry eye.
MSRP: $35,070 - $39,380 | MPG: 22 Hwy, 17 City
Details: 7 Seats, 3 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The oh-so-beautiful 2009 Buick Enclave has inspired me to create a new television series, “Extreme Makeover: Car Edition.” I’d love for some hunky host to relay my automotive sob-story to the masses, followed by the ultimate pulverization of my eight-year-old, 150,000-mile “piece.” At the end of the show, the bright, shiny Enclave would sit in my garage!
MSRP: $23,900 - $28,400 | MPG: 22 Hwy, 17 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The Mazda CX-7 got us out of our snowy driveway and onto our equally snow-covered road in seconds – a total cinch. There wasn’t a slip, slide or swivel; we just drove straight onto the road as if the driveway were completely clear.
MSRP: $31,900 - $36,850 | MPG: 23 Hwy, 17 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The 2008 Infiniti EX35 AWD wants to get up and go; it’s one of the zippiest cars I’ve driven in recent memory. Oh, how I enjoyed driving this car, but it wasn’t meant to be between us. For someone like me who has wee children, there just wasn’t enough room. How rude!
