Review of the 2005 Ford Freestyle

2005 Ford Freestyle - 1/24/05

MSRP: $25,040 - $30,440 | MPG: 24 Hwy, 20 City

Young women today work hard, whether it’s at an office or as full-time moms. We act as chauffeurs, cooks, counselors, nurses, housekeepers, and more (in my instance, I have to give my husband credit for his amazing cleaning skills). We deserve to get into a car that feels just as good as putting on our favorite pair of jeans. The Ford Freestyle does it for me.


Review of the 2004 Volvo XC90

2005 Volvo XC90 - 12/07/04

MSRP: $35,290 - $45,395 | MPG: 17 Hwy, 18 City

You might be wondering what’s with the full-sized Lego model of the 2005 Volvo XC90? Volvo has paired with LegoLand to help teach young children the importance of safe driving. What a great idea! How can I get my kids involved in that? Maybe if we start now (at ages 2 and 4) we can avoid the all-too-common “invincible new driver” syndrome when they turn 16.


Review of the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica

2005 Chrysler Pacifica - 6/16/04

MSRP: $24,615 - $36,585 | MPG: 22 Hwy, 18 City

I have a theory that most minivan moms are cat people, while SUV moms are dog people. Now, that may be a gross generalization, but follow me on this for a minute: If the Pacifica can bridge the gap between SUVs and minivans, maybe it can also bridge the gap between dog and cat lovers. That, my fellow parents, could be a starting point for making the world a better place.


Review of the 2004 Infiniti FX35

2004 Infiniti FX35 - 6/03/04

MSRP: $34,550 - $36,050 | MPG: 22 Hwy, 17 City

I, like most parents, have a slight case of paranoia when it comes to protecting my children. I drill my preschooler on stranger danger and fire safety. I also have a heightened awareness when it comes to vehicle safety, so I’m thrilled to discover that the Infiniti FX35 AWD received five-star crash test ratings across the board.


Review of the 2004 Nissan Murano

2004 Nissan Murano - 5/04/04

MSRP: $28,300 - $30,850 | MPG: 24 Hwy, 20 City

The marketing term coined by Nissan to describe the Murano is “The Urban SUV.” It’s sleek, modern and sophisticated. Not everyone sees it the way I do, however.


Review of the 2004 Volvo XC90

2004 Volvo XC90 - 1/30/04

MSRP: $34,790 - $40,965 | MPG: 20 Hwy, 18 City

My first impression of the Volvo XC90 is that it’s not your typical SUV. It appears very sophisticated and expensive. I’m a little weary about throwing kids in the back seat knowing that it will soon be littered with cracker crumbs.
