I’m willing to swear Audi’s been making perfect cars for women and moms since the wheel was invented. My husband understands perfectly when I tell him I am moving out of the house and into the car. It is comfortable, fast, nimble, and smart. It’s that good, ladies.
You are either an SUV sista’ or a minivan mama. Well I have news for you, ladies, there is a new player in town. The crossover class in general and the Chrysler Pacifica in specific bring together the ease of the minivan with the sturdy flair of an SUV.
I know that I’m not the only parent out there, who drives the kids around just to keep the peace. So you see, my car is much more than just a means of transportation. It is an extension of my home.
A poll of my mom peers revealed a gradient of thoughts about “VOLVO” such as safe, family-friendly, expensive, tree-hugging, boxy, boring, gutless and a few straggling remarks about the female anatomy. That’s exactly what Volvo’s going for; maybe not the boring and gutless part, but safety for sure.
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!
The large amount of cargo space is unexpected. I make a run to Costco for a plastic dog house, a case of oranges, three gallons of milk and more. I seriously think I might need to call in reinforcements. Happily, after some creative packing, I get the door shut without having to tie the kids to the roof. Yipee!
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 center console and glove box in the Passat have air vents in them allowing me to direct AC into those compartments, keeping my kids’ drinks and snacks cool while driving. That’s innovation!
My friends call me gadget girl. Two of the top three things on my holiday list are electronics (I am not a complete tech-head, the third item is an all-day package at my favorite spa). I really find technology irresistible, so you can imagine my delight in the feature packed Honda Odyssey.
I can’t seem to find a clock anywhere within the E350 and I feel a bit naked without one. After asking for help, I’m pointed to the big round analog clock dial right next to the speedometer. Why I never noticed that BIG CLOCK right there in front of me the whole time is baffling. I’m trying not to dwell on it too much for fear of feeling, well, dumb.
