MSRP: $31,000 - $48,800 | MPG: 25 Hwy, 23 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
My family believed the A4 was truly magical, and maybe we’re onto something. It’s sporty and powerful for the performance driver, yet safe and practical for the day-to-day driver.
MSRP: $27,100 - $39,800 | MPG: 25 Hwy, 21 City
Details: 4 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
From the outside, the CC is incredibly smooth-looking — think stilettos and a black mini dress. This car turns heads and even gets people to point; that’s something I usually discourage my kids from doing, but in this case I told them it was a compliment.
MSRP: $15,520 - $18,265 | MPG: 33 Hwy, 24 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
Driving the front-wheel-drive 2009 Ford Focus SES was better than I expected; it felt tight and well-constructed. The manual transmission let me have more power when I wanted it, but it’s a four-cylinder, so it’s not over-the-top speed-wise.
MSRP: $53,470 - $53,470 | MPG: 24 Hwy, 17 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The GS 460 is an older man’s attempt to recapture an imagined youth, and this mama felt out of place just sitting in it.
2009 Honda Civic Hybrid - 4/16/09
MSRP: $23,650 - $23,650 | MPG: 45 Hwy, 40 CityDetails: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The Civic Hybrid sounds like a great idea, but the pricey reality just falls flat.
MSRP: $45,800 - $45,800 | MPG: 23 Hwy, 16 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
A sedan isn’t usually what comes to mind when you think of a family car, but the 2009 Infiniti M35x could change that. It’s not only a great family car, it’s also a great hot-mama car, striking the perfect balance between practicality and luxury.
2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI - 2/11/09
MSRP: $24,590 - $24,590 | MPG: 29 Hwy, 22 CityDetails: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
I’ve always thought of the Volkswagen Jetta as a small starter car best suited for a single person. After test-driving the 2009 Jetta TDI, I can happily admit that I was wrong. This car is great for hauling around the family.
MSRP: $46,680 - $54,100 | MPG: 22 Hwy, 16 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
Here at MotherProof.com, we like to think that a family car doesn’t have to fit into any box. Acura seems to be thinking along similar lines with its RL sedan.
2009 Mitsubishi Galant Sport - 12/16/08
MSRP: $21,249 - $27,449 | MPG: 25 Hwy, 22 CityDetails: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
Everyone in my family appreciated the 2009 Mitsubishi Galant. As any mom knows, it’s nearly impossible to please everyone all of the time (unless you’re doling out ice cream). This is why I thoroughly enjoyed my quiet, complaint-free week with the Galant.
2009 Mercedes-Benz S550 - 12/11/08
MSRP: $89,350 - $198,950 | MPG: 17 Hwy, 14 CityDetails: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
I got lots of envious looks while I was driving the luxurious 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550. Several people said that it “looked good on me.” Imagine that? A car that looks flattering on Mom? If only I had the wardrobe to keep pace…
