2009 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited - 7/21/09
MSRP: $34,700 - $41,020 | MPG: 25 Hwy, 27 CityDetails: 7 Seats, 3 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The 2009 Highlander Hybrid is an SUV full of contradictions. After a week of hard use by my crack team of vehicular testers — aka my family — all the contradictions boiled down to one irrefutable truth: The HiHy (as we like to call it) is one great family-mobile.
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.
2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe - 7/09/09
MSRP: $22,000 - $29,500 | MPG: 26 Hwy, 21 CityDetails: 4 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
Although the Genesis coupe certainly isn’t built as a typical mom-mobile, there are plenty of atypical moms in the world looking for their automotive match. Read on, dear friends, and see if the Genesis coupe from Hyundai might fit the bill.
MSRP: $26,635 - $36,605 | MPG: 22 Hwy, 17 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The 2009 Ford Edge is the widest vehicle in its class, at 75.8 inches. No wonder I found myself asking if this car made me look fat. Needless to say, my hubby couldn’t park his car in the garage while the Rubenesque Edge was in there.
2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid - 6/29/09
MSRP: $73,135 - $87,435 | MPG: 21 Hwy, 20 CityDetails: 7 Seats, 3 Rows, 3 Latch Connectors
Don’t let the ginormous hybrid decals fool you; this behemoth is no planet-saver. After test-driving it for a week, I really can’t see what makes the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid so popular.
MSRP: $23,015 - $27,730 | MPG: 21 Hwy, 16 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The 2009 Jeep Liberty is truck-like in its maneuverability, and even seemed sluggish and had difficulty accelerating when I switched out of four-wheel drive. Its four-wheel drive didn’t perform nearly as well as I expected on the muddy river that’s normally my street.
2009 Chrysler Sebring - 6/16/09
MSRP: $23,040 - $35,125 | MPG: 26 Hwy, 21 CityDetails: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
While the 2009 Chrysler Sebring hasn’t been updated for this year, it still looks current. A glance through the window showed me a Dark Slate Gray leather interior with brushed metal and tortoiseshell accents. Not bad, I thought.
2009 Mini Cooper Clubman - 6/12/09
MSRP: $20,200 - $20,200 | MPG: 34 Hwy, 28 CityDetails: 4 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
I really love the Mini Cooper Clubman, but if I were driving it every single day, I might tire of it much more quickly than I would something less toy-like.
MSRP: $41,660 - $43,250 | MPG: 28 Hwy, 32 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
I love the comfort and the features and how well it fit my kids and all our stuff, but when it came time to let it go, it was the drive that I really hated to see leave.
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.
