When I pick my mother up for Sunday brunch in this car she exclaims, “Wow, what a beauty!” This is one of the few things we’ve agreed upon. However, my brother (barely 20 years old) said, “That’s a Mercedes? It looks more like a Pontiac.” Ouch! I won’t tell Mercedes he said that!
I appreciate the clearly labeled windshield wiper control. Since I drive a new car every week, I’m always confused by the windshield wipers. Do I twist them, push them, pull them or shake them all about, then do the hokey pokey to get the wiper fluid out?
The Honda Ridgeline is an obsessive organizer’s dream, with a maze of storage compartments and super-secret squirrel hidey-holes. The center console has enough space left over to store a small child (please don’t try this — it’s just an expression).
The perfectly sized cargo area expands quickly with seats that fold flat, making room for “groceries to surfboards,” as stated by General Motors. I’ll take the surfing over the grocery shopping, please. Does it come with a sitter, too?
The highlight of the Forester is the plastic insert that protects the cargo floor. I load my obnoxiously muddy stroller without a care. Later in the day, I remove the plastic insert, douse it with the garden hose, and “voila” ... brand, spanking new again.
The 2006 B9 Tribeca is less “crunchy granola Boulderite” and more “crunchy granola Boulderite has grown up, moved to a trendy city, secured a profession and has a growing family”. This car is equally comfortable in the carpool lane and on a rare child-free date night with my husband.
I love chocolate and I have no problem telling the world. I’m thrilled to hear about the newest studies linking chocolate to strong emotional and physical wellbeing. I don’t have to sacrifice decadence for health. Driving the 2005 Nissan Murano feels almost as good as eating chocolate. I don’t have to sacrifice form for function.
Tucson, Arizona: where the rich and famous travel to experience world-class spa treatments steeped deeply in Native American mystique. A lush desert oasis — an oxymoron, you say? That is my thought exactly when hearing that the 2005 Hyundai Tucson could provide style, innovative safety systems AND value. It’s simply not possible — or so I thought.
I wonder if the automotive journalists who wrote those other Pilot reviews ever put children in the Pilot. Since Honda claims that “The Pilot continues to lead the sport utility segment as the ultimate SUV for family adventure” it would be logical to test it in real life with a real family.
I recently traveled 300 kilometers above the Arctic Circle to test the Volvo V50 and XC90 on the ice tracks. OK, the real truth is that 13 hours in the plane each way without kids was quite appealing to me. A good book, some mindless magazines and a long nap would do any mom a world of good.
